I don’t know what his game is here. With how awful his wife is, I don’t know how they can live in the same house, but I love it. Maybe he’s trying to get her fired?

John Kelly is leaving by the end of the year. And of course there is a tweet for every occasion.
That is such comedy. Hysterical. I hope to god it’s a sign of trump, and his family, going down hard.Nick Ayers who was thought to be Kelly's replacement is quitting his post as Pence's Chief of Staff and leaving the Whitehouse entirely.
I would hope, even with the appalling republicans in the senate, they wouldnt approve either of those knobs.
Now when people say trump will leave this country a radioactive pile of waste, it won't be hyperbole.
They forgot it's Trump; they want to lower the threat risk not to bury it, but so they can use that in their next s***ty building because they won't be able to buy cheap steel from the Chinese any longer.

"I'm going to change one word. So I'm going to search for 'Congressman Steve King,' I'm going to hit the 'news' tab. First article that pops up is from ABC News," Lieu said. "It says Steve King's racist immigration talk prompts calls for congressional censure. That's a negative article. But you don't have a group of people at Google thinking and trying to modify search results — every time Steve King comes up, a negative article appears, that's not what's happening, right?"
Pichai again said no, reiterating that Google does not manipulate results for individuals like that.
"So let me just conclude here by stating the obvious," Lieu responded. "If you want positive search results, do positive things. If you don't want negative search results, don't do negative things."
Schumer didn't give a f*** today. About time he grew a semi-rigid spine.

Maria Butina’s boyfriend claimed he set up Trump-Russia NRA “conduit” as campaign funds flowed
Butina, a 30-year-old Russian gun rights activist, worked for years to cultivate relationships within Republican and NRA circles. She was charged with working as an agent of the Russian government earlier this year and on Monday agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy charges and cooperate with prosecutors.
In her plea deal, Butina admitted that she and “US Person 1,” who is longtime Republican operative Paul Erickson, “agreed and conspired, with a Russian government official,” whose description matches Russian banker and close Putin ally Alexander Torshin, for Butina to “act in the United States under the direction of Russian Official without prior notification to the Attorney General,” ABC News reported.
trump received a far larger nra push, than McCain, Romney, and Bush? Why, considering he was someone who has spoken out for banning certain guns in the past.

Audit shows NRA spending surged $100 million amidst pro-Trump push in 2016
The National Rifle Association’s overall spending surged by more than $100 million in 2016, surpassing any previous annual NRA spending totals on record, according to an audit obtained by the Center for Responsive Politics.
The explosion in spending came as the NRA poured unprecedented amounts of money into efforts to deliver Donald Trump the White House and help Republicans hold both houses of Congress.
The audit filed with the state of North Carolina shows that the NRA’s total expenditures exploded to more than $419 million, up from $312 million the prior year.
The jump is even more stark when compared to its spending during the previous two presidential elections in 2012 and 2008, when their outlays topped out at $261 million and $204 million, respectively, according to similar audits.These spending totals include all of the NRA’s operations in 2016, from law enforcement programs and hunter services to education and training.
