    Now that is going a bit far. I don't know that Trump is running a government.

    It's certainly a government, in that it is supposed to govern. But the word "running" should be replaced with "crawling and shitting like an infant".

    Well, I will give this to the son in law... He is trying to follow Churchill's advice to turn a weakness into a strength. Faced with indisputable evidence that Trump is a piss poor manager who picks sycophantic yesmen instead of people with talent or ability which results in chaos and incompetence... He is now claiming we could not have colluded with Russia because we are too incompetent.

    That seems like a desperate sale from a man who knows the gig is up; which it pretty much is. With today's revolation about Trump personally leading the cover up it is just a matter of time. I fully expect the rats to try to start covering their own asses as the ship slowly sinks beneath the impeachment waves.

    All part of Trump's plan: Convince everyone he's an incompetent buffoon so no one feels he's a threat, and appoint a bunch of GOP insiders so they think he's trying to play ball with them, but he really just wants them close so he can find ways to take them down one-by-one. By the time they notice what he's really up to and that the stupidity is an act he's been putting on for decades, it'll be too late! #DrainTheSwamp #4DChess #17DStratego #Hashtag

    This New Yorker cartoon has been making the rounds several days before Mooch's demise I might added.

    Ahh, Kelly (who really is a piece of shit for trying to come up with excuses for Trump asking for FSB encrypted communications gear so he could talk to Putin without the CIA listening) personally fired the mooch and had the police escort him out.

    Donnie Small Hands didn't even have the balls to do it himself after he hired the guy just 10 days before.

    Supposedly, Trump always has someone else doing the firing, because he's unwilling to do it himself.

    The man famous for "You're Fired" on the Apprentice is too much of a pussy to fire people himself?

    Sad. But not surprising.

    Makes a nice counter balance to the 30% of the country who are full on reality-impaired MSNBC watching moonbats who drink a different flavor of kool-aid.

    The reality impared far left wing base does exist but they are a much smaller segment. 12%-15% according to the polls I have seen. Most people on the left are center left which is positively normal and well adjusted compared to either extreme. The big problem for the right is their reality impared and poorly informed segment really does dominate their side. Thus Trump.

    Yeah, fringes love to claim that they're actually moderates. Always a big laugh.

    the actual members of any given fringe are certain they represent the silent majority. This is true.

    But disregarding their view, an objective outside analysis is going to look a lot like Dinner's description.

    If one substitutes the Bernie vote for "moonbat lefties" (not a perfect match but it will do for the purposes of this comment) then one need only compare his primary vote totals to Trump primary vote totals - and note that the latter had 17 opponents while the former had, at peak, only 3 and only one of those with a legitimate shot.

    Vote totals totals prove it but I predict Lanz runs away never to be seen in this thread again rather than admit he was wrong.

    I've read the movie focuses way too much on Coach Joe Paterno rather than the victims of Sandusky. The review I read said that at one point a character says "Why are we talking about Paterno?"

    Of course, if he attended the premiere, he'd have to meet Pacino, who has been a tad... indelicate... as regards his views on Trump.
