People always ask me about Toad, It's fantastic. Let me tell you about Toad. I do very well with Toad. I love Toad. No one loves Toad more than me, BELIEVE ME. Toad loves me. I have the best Toad.

"Highest ranking women in the Trump administration" doesn't mean much.

It's pretty much like this:

All this time and I really still can't understand how the chuds can see a video of literally anything Trump does and think "Yeah, this is the guy I'm going to put all my faith in."
That reaction is at least half the reason they claim to give a poo poo about Trump at all.
On the one hand I want to buy one of these as a lameass gift for every one of my shiteating CHUD relatives. On the other hand I don't want to give these fuckers my money. On the third hand I'm not really on speaking terms with any of my shiteating CHUD relatives anyway and wouldn't get them a Christmas gift if I was.

Dem leadership could use more of that, IMHO. Pick a few billionaires to demonize the way the right has Soros. Tell us who is keeping us down. It’s a very successful strategy.

What would you like to hear from these few billionaires? Let me put a focus group together. Pots? Chickens? Whatever you want. You'll be in charge. I swear. (BTW, it's the lumbar lobby that's actually hurting your children).

sure, but i think he is starting to realize he isn't really that well loved and it as best viewed as joke. he will never admit it to himself, he can't. but shits gonna get crazier the more hosed up he gets.

So I'm still trying to wrap my brain around this Melania thing.

Please explain it to me like I'm really stupid.

Am I understanding this right?

Melania has released a public statement through her office that NSA person X should not be serving, i.e. should be fired.

That person is NOT currently fired or in the process of being fired. Yes?

Seems like the world's hugest own goal.

Even if Trump had WANTED to fire her, now he looks like a total whipped loser if he does.

If she DOESN'T get fired Melania looks like the world's biggest loser/idiot who made a big public show out of something she should have lobbied for in private.

Am I missing something?

Also, Trump isolation articles are the new "A new drug may be able to cure X virus within the next ten years." The articles give you hope something will happen, but all you ever get is more articles.

I don't doubt that Trump is isolated and going insane, I just don't think thats a new development. So, its more "A new drug can cure cancer", but its a kind of cancer that has always been cured.

scuttlebutt, which may admittedly be internal backstabbing scuttlebutt, is that Melania dislikes both Kelly and Whassername because they've declined requests to plonk her aides with her on specially chartered helicopter flights and whatnot and generally have caused things to need to be scheduled months in advance rather than on the fly.

also, for whatever tiny to zero amount it's worth, Whassername is apparently part of the Bolton faction, who under normal circumstances hate Kelly for not being quite enough of a blood gargling psychopath

edit: the loving first lady is trying to have a major political figure fired because she doesn't like her and/or she doesn't like the woman's former boss and/or the first lady is part of a faction trying to control the foreign policy of the most powerful country in the world.

In roughly that order of likelihood.
