Brad DeLong on the Kudlow appointment:

QuoteThe right way to view this appointment is, I think, as if Donald Trump were to name William Shatner to command the Navy's 7th Fleet.

I thought Kim was the rocket man?
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Relax, it's not like he's asking Shatner to head the Space Force.

I think Mattis has a good chance of sticking around because there are fewer chances for the Secretary of Defense to disagree with the president over policy.  Or dumabass presidential whims. 

Course he could always bail if he gets tired of being associated with a buffoon.

Mattis is actually tied to a major fraud case, but nobody wants to question him about it because they are terrified of what would happen if he leaves.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

That's a humdinger, eh.

In the Trump White House?  Hard not to see that as a win.

The Fake News is beside themselves that McCabe was caught, called out and fired. How many hundreds of thousands of dollars was given to wife's campaign by Crooked H friend, Terry M, who was also under investigation? How many lies? How many leaks? Comey knew it all, and much more!   

@realDonaldTrump    48m

As the House Intelligence Committee has concluded, there was no collusion between Russia and the Trump Campaign. As many are now finding out, however, there was tremendous leaking, lying and corruption at the highest levels of the FBI, Justice & State. #DrainTheSwamp

Andrew McCabe FIRED, a great day for the hard working men and women of the FBI - A great day for Democracy. Sanctimonious James Comey was his boss and made McCabe look like a choirboy. He knew all about the lies and corruption going on at the highest levels of the FBI!

Very sweet of him to take a little time from draining the swamp to wish us a happy St. Patrick's Day.  :)

I wish people would just ignore his tweets. He says enough stupid things in speeches and interviews.

The tweets are highly distilled asshattery.  Ya gotta admire his ability to fit so much fail into 140 characters.

We can't.  They are official statements of the President of the United States.
