Anyone here even got remotely close to imaging this sort of um.. bullshit/madness/frat-house bullying was going to happen in this administration?

Everything you need to know about Donald Trump's management style is right there on The Apprentice--
1) can't be bothered with the details,
2) lets family and minions do the heavy lifting, but
3) insists on being the final arbiter of The Big Decisions.

Said it before, I'll say it again: everything you need to know about The Donald's decision-making process you can find on The Apprentice.

That being said, I think his administration will break the record for most West Wing resignations in a single term.

Money, I'll give you that.  :D

But I was really aiming my comment at the 'he'll become presidential and be moderated by the establishment' crowd here.

Or look at it another way, the comment was a 'you need to prick yourself sometime' to realise this is actually going on, it's the real world.  :wacko:

Jeff Flake (GOP senator from Arizona) says Trump is terrible in his new book, apparently. I wonder if it'll translate into some kind of action.

Yes, of the in- variety.

Today's news from Rasmussen:

39% approval.  First time Trump has ever gone below 40 in a Rasmussen poll.  Strong approve/disapprove split is 26-49.
33% say country is going in right direction
37% back the wall, 56% against

This despite very solid recent GDP and personal income numbers.

Just hit an all time high for dissaproval on the 538 Trump Tracker

56.2% dissaprove, 38.2% approve

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

It could say 20% and it won't mean shit.

The Congressional GOP would throw him over in a hearbeat if he hit 20%. This isn't a president like W that they liked and are willing to protect if he becomes unpopular. They hate him and he hates them. They tolerate him because their voters like him. If that ceases to be the case they will turn on him in an instant.

STFU already.  Don't you have civil defense drills to practice for or something?

Timmy's right.  House and Senate have already passed near-unanimous legislation taking Russia sanctions out of Trump's hands.

Monday: "I'm happy to serve my country and President Trump."
Thursday: "I felt I could best serve the President by stepping aside."
Friday: "I would like to see Special Counsel Mueller. I do not have an appointment."

Mooch beat the record by one day.

QuoteIn 1987, Koehler, who was friends with Ronald Reagan, became the White House Communications Director.[1] However, Koehler resigned after just one week in the White House after it became public that he had been a member of the Deutsches Jungvolk, a Nazi government youth division, when he was just ten years old.
