I saw a video of his gestures while speaking next to Trump's. He copies Trumo exactly. Now this tweet. Trump is threatening sessions on Twitter so now mooch is threatening priebus on Twitter. His entire strategy is going to be just do exactly what Trump does

So Trump bans trans service members in order to secure border wall funding. I hope this rear end in a top hat drops dead of a stroke.

This would be bad. Pence would become 46. Any hope of him getting caught up in the investigation would be lost because the investigation would probably stop.

Trump staying president until the investigation is finished and wraps up everyone it possibly can is the best out come.

Like, sure he's a gently caress. He does terrible things. Well, more importantly he TRIES to do terrible things. And he's damaging our national image at insane rate and turning political culture into a shitshow and legitimizing bigotry and poo poo, but he's not actually doing anything meaningful in terms of policy.

If Pence became 46, he could continue down the path of bigotry and disbanding our social nets and he would probably actually be able to make Rs more or less work together to do it. With the current majority he could steamroll whatever hosed up poo poo he wanted.

I like slate's political gabfest, and slate's whistlestop for a more historical perspective. Basically anything with John Dickerson I am a sucker for.

You mentioned the most popular other two already. Pod save the world and With friends like these are both decent as well.

I'm sure there's a ton more but those cover a pretty good ground.

Mostly cuz they were abject failures AND we already knew they didn't have the votes for them. Because if they had they'd have voted already. So Trump's Nazi-tweets are more interesting for the moment.

I listen to all of the Vox and Crooked media podcasts and rank them as such:

Lovett or Leave It > Pod Save America > Weeds > Pod Save The World > Pod Save the People > Worldly (Vox's new foreign policy podcast) > With Friends Like These. But they're all good and worth listening to.

Also, listen to Politically Reactive with Kamau W. Bell and Hari Kondibolu.

In a month, Scaramucci is going to walk onstage wearing Donald Trump's orange skin as a suit, his eyes staring out from the vacant holes in what was our President's face, declaring that HE is Donald Trump. On that day, America will be faced with the toughest question yet: Deciding if we even have a problem with this.

Opening Arguments is nominally a legal podcast, but it is really mostly a political podcast from a legal perspective. It's fair-minded, and although both of the hosts are lefties, they try to stick to the reality of things. They pay a lot of attention to the Supreme Court, and the criminality (or non-criminality) of whatever the gently caress the Trump administration has stepped in.

Highly recommended; about 2 hours of shows per week.

Reince will be left alone in a room with three shells and told to do the right thing.
Trump will probably be happy to have Mooch do his strong arming for him, but I wonder exactly who they bring in to replace Reince's people?

Like maybe this goes without saying, but it is particularly absurd that not only is a guy who's been around for six days demanding an FBI investigation of Trump's chief of staff, but he's doing it very publicly on Twitter. He's, for some reason, broadcasting the dysfunction.
