Donald Trump Presidency-Day One

it's come to that point where we "consider resigning" but take the job anyway to help the people we consider resigning over.

When it goes wrong, send in the military. Who's next?

I'm hoping its Steve Bannon. The guy really has no business having the position that he does in the White House.

btw as fun as is it to watch this clusterfuck in the trump administration happen, i think the most important story is the us/russia sanctions.

1). us puts a stop on monies russia was supposed to get from the us. in the trillions (ouch)
2). diplomats sent back to mother russia thanks to congress.

trump panics. how do we know this? he doesn't tweet

putin retaliates:

1). 755 diplomats kicked out of russia
2). no more use of a state of the art gym (fuck!!!!)
3). no more use of awesome warehouse (double fuck!!!)

vlad's is mad. in fact his exact words are "i've been let down" and there's even a sad picture of vlad to go with it.

what is trump gonna do? well, for one, he remains mum. and two, he does nothing. what's the worst that can happen? war? more sanctions?

and this is all happening as trump's administration and staff unravel at the seams.

i like to use james woods as a barometer of what is happening to the right and even he seems to be unraveling at the seams lately:

okay. am i missing something? is this guy secretly trying to completely fuck up the right wing on purpose or could he seriously be this much of an ass?

The gossip this side of the pond is that Rex Tillerson is fed up and wants to go. He was furious when Jared Kushner persuaded Daddy No 2 to support Saudi Arabia's attack on Qatar without running this major foreign policy decision by him, and as the former CEO of Exxon, organised as a company along military lines, can't cope with the multiple layers of 'authority' in the White House which to him suggests there is none -unless, as has been discussed today Kelly can introduce the much needed discipline that will make it look like the Presidency is run by adults. The rogue factor is the President himself, who shortly goes on holiday (to pocket another $10 million courtesy of the tax payer). The Twitter feeds may become the barometer of change.

I assume this was John Kelly's doing. At least he's had the good sense to realise that the Mooch was going to be a disaster, whereas Trump clearly did not.

yup: it's that bad

i should've said: it's that good
