What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[LaCroix]

Is there an consulting organization of some kind that prepares canned letters and sells them to every senator?  Or is the same work being duplicated 100 times?

President Trump is now speculating that the media is covering up terrorist attacks

"You've seen what happened in Paris, and Nice. All over Europe, it's happening," he said to the assembled military leaders. "It's gotten to a point where it's not even being reported. And in many cases the very, very dishonest press doesn't want to report it. They have their reasons, and you understand that."

He's such a fucking nutball.

Until impeachment comes into play, there's no actual, concrete response they could have sent me.  Both:

1) Fuck you!! Donald is da BOMB!

and

2) I'm ready to deep six him, just need a couple more votes.  p.s. keep this between us.

are incredibly dumbass things to say.

Why do you hate freedom, Lacroix?

Wyatt Earp: What makes a man like LaCroix, Doc? What makes him do the things he does?
Doc Holliday: A man like LaCroix has got a great big hole, right in the middle of him. He can never pander enough, or spin enough, or inflict enough alternative facts to ever fill it.
Wyatt Earp: What does he need?
Doc Holliday: Validation
Wyatt Earp: For what?
Doc Holliday: Bein' a republican

He's such a fucking nutball.

I sent a text over to my buddy at <insert intelligence agency here>, and asked WTF are those goofballs doing making inquiries through channels about Polish incursions into Byelorus, the fuck is up with that.

All he said was that he already started his second career as a functional alcoholic.

Has there ever been evidence he was on them?

Something tells me there could have been other answers - like registering your concerns in a way that did not admit it's out of his hands. Or, indeed, take a stance and say that he believes impeachment is not the answer to what he has seen of Trump.

Well, he referred to the President of Mexico, and that's a real person.  The UK doesn't have a congress, nor would said congress have a supposed speaker even if it did exist, so Trump's delusions are double-deep with this one.

Right, and trust that I would keep it under wraps?  If and when he's ready to take a public position, he'll do so.

This thread moves too fast and I have to ignore every other post but has anyone posted this yet?  I don't remember seeing it.

There are some embedded Tweets in the original article I didn't copy/paste over.

Donald Trump 'didn't realise he was promoting Steve Bannon to National Security Council when he signed order'

Amid signs that Donald Trump began his presidency with the same chaotic operation that marked his campaign, a report has claimed he was not even aware he was elevating Steve Bannon to a senior security post when he signed one of several executive orders.

Since Mr Trump's inauguration on January 20, reports have emerged of a White House West Wing marked by confusion and unpreparedness - alongside intense turf battles being fought by his top officials.

One of the results of this has been a number of leaks from the White House, about the various maneuverings of such top officials, and their varying ascendance and descent.

A report in in the New York Times, which paints a picture of chief-of-staff Reince Priebus trying to assert greater control, says he has set in place a set of checks and processes before new policies and Executive Orders are issued. This was done following the backlash over the haphazard and chaotic rollout of the order halting the refugee programme and suspending travel for people from seven Middle Eastern and North African countries.

It said Mr Trump would be looped in on the drafting of orders much earlier in the process. Remarkably, the report says, Mr Trump was not fully briefed on details of the order he signed giving his chief strategist, Mr Bannon, a seat on the National Security Council.

Mr Bannon, the former editor of Breitbart News, is a white nationalist who has pushed Mr Trump to take up such issues - both during the presidential campaign and since entering the White House.

Mr Bannon has no experience in government or in foreign policy.

As a result, many were startled when Mr Bannon was elevated to the National Security Council's principals committee, the top interagency group for discussing national security.

The order, issued last month, also appeared to demote the director of National Intelligence and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in regard to their position on the NSC.

The order said that the two officials will attend the principals committee meetings only when "issues pertaining to their responsibilities and expertise are to be discussed".
