Anthony Scaramucci’s vulgar New Yorker interview is beyond words
The Trump administration is one long exercise in desensitization. It has become difficult to be shocked by much of anything that happens.

Give it time. First Trump has to get the US to the bottom rankings of the developed world, THEN, he'll work on getting the country to developing world level.

Trump is feeding the beastly underbelly of America. He is weaponizing the bigots so when the law catches up with him and his inevitable downfall comes, he will leave an angry mob in his place. It could be carnage for both them and the rest.
There can be no happy outcome to all this hate mongering. Not for anyone.

Senate Republicans prepare to pass Obamacare repeal few of them back
"They demanded assurances the legislation will only serve as a starting point for negotiations with the House — and not become law."
http://www.politico.com/story/2017/07/27/obamacare-repeal-republicans-status-241025
In other words, they voted for something they hope will NOT become law.

Since we're purely speculating, I bet if Trump had a three way with a sheep and a Great Dane on the White House lawn and it was caught on camera, his supporters will say it never happened. Or that it was a brave thing to do.
Thakkar , I think you'll find that that actually happened - pre election and in Moscow .
No, no. You're thinking about the party on the yatch. The one I'm thinking of is the incident with the chicken which was later spun by Scaramucci to something less distasteful involving cuter animals.

I find it hard to believe that the oxymoron is actually sober when he sends out these tweets. I know he says he never drinks alcohol but his track record regarding the truth in other areas has been challenged.
Oh he's sober alright. It's his supporters that look to be wackadoodle high on something.

The Boy Scout Chief Exec has had to apologize for Trump's remarks:
"I want to extend my sincere apologies to those in our Scouting family who were offended by the political rhetoric that was inserted into the jamboree. That was never our intent. The invitation for the sitting U.S. President to visit the National Jamboree is a long-standing tradition that has been extended to the leader of our nation that has had a Jamboree during his term since 1937. It is in no way an endorsement of any person, party or policies. For years, people have called upon us to take a position on political issues, and we have steadfastly remained non-partisan and refused to comment on political matters. We sincerely regret that politics were inserted into the Scouting program."
The pussygrabber bragged about his "tremendous victory" and insulted his political rivals and regaled young boys with tales of rich guys having orgies on yachts.
"It vas jus boys talk; the naughty kids in the crowd jus egged him on," said the tranquillizing Melania Trump.

Trump's increasingly ludicrous attempts at satisfying his diminishing band of supporters
Trump HAS given a portion of his voters (the evangelicals, some of whom voted for him while holding their nose) the conservative, anti-abortion SCOTUS they wanted. Some of them are taking their winning and leaving the table. But he's struck out everywhere else:
He can't give them "the big, beautiful wall"
Can barely give them the Muslim ban.
Can't give them back their high pay factory/mining jobs.
Can't put "her" in jail like he promised.
Can't get people to stop "laughing at us"—just making them laugh more.
Can't pass healthcare.
So he has to throw the remainers some red meat to feed their bigotry.

A leading psychiatry group has told its members they should not feel bound by a longstanding rule against commenting publicly on the mental state of public figures — even the president.An increasing number of psychologists and psychiatrists have denounced the restriction as a “gag rule” and flouted it, with some arguing they have a “duty to warn” the public about what they see as Trump’s narcissism, impulsivity, poor attention span, paranoia, and other traits that, they believe, impair his ability to lead. -

If Scaramucci is correct in his twitter assertion that Priebus is the leaker then it would seem the undermining is coming from within. I truly hope so.
In the same article the BBC characterises the White House as being like the final scene of Reservoir Dogs ( in which they all turn on each other).
The bloated horror will be gone by Christmas.
The difference is, Resevoire Dogs had smart dialogue, but less blood. And no treason.

"Numerous House conservatives and defense hawks this week had threatened to derail their own legislation if it did not include a prohibition on Pentagon funding for gender reassignment surgeries, which they deem a waste of taxpayer money."
After being ignored by Mattis, they went to Trump. He obliged. On twitter."The president’s directive, of course, took the House issue a step beyond paying for gender reassignment surgery and other medical treatment. House Republicans were never debating expelling all transgender troops from the military."They asked for a chair, he gave them the whole dining set. The Great Negotiator.T -

They ALL lie
"All sides do it" is a BS argument that aims to sneakily shift the discussion from the specific lies of a specific topic of discussion to a meaningless generalization. The fact is, "all sides" DON'T do it.
When you say, "they all lie" - what are we to make of that? That we should not chastise anyone or call them out for particular lies in particular instances because "all politicians lie" so we should just disengage? Be completely cynical? Not care?
Each instance of lying needs to be called out on its own demerits, exposed and chastised and the liar held to account, not be allowed to slide on the baseless presumption that "they all do it"
It must also be noted that not all lies are equal. There are white lies, lies of omission, lies to avoid embarrassment, lies to deceive, scurrilous lies, misdirection, nefarious lies, and outright bullish!t. To lump them all together as "they all lie" is to equate a white lie with a scurrilous lie; to treat them the same, shrug and move on, thus letting the scurrilous liar escape accountability.

Your dear leader once again, completely reverses himself. No surprize there, I've lost count...
Ya got nothin'
BTW, your bone spurs?
Surgery or not?
Enquiring minds want to know.
Because you reversed yourself completely just like your dear leader.
Within hours.
"Within hours"
Give the the guy a break. He'll get better and soon, just like his Dear Leader, he'll be able to reverse himself within the same sentence.

Many Trump haters are just using this 'anti-Liberal' move as an excuse to complain and abuse Trump.
I will leave the debate with them to others who are doing very well.
In my view this is a correct decision by Trump (yet another).
Just like the idiotic liberal regulation passed by Obama allowing males in females toilets, the removal of the ban on Transgenders in the Military by Obama was liberal lunacy.The issue has nothing to do with discrimination, it is about not allowing certain people with certain 'issues' to serve in the Military. It is about many things from morale to costs, but it is not about the person. Being too short or too tall, having diabetes or skin disorders, flat feet etc. are just some of the many many reasons why some people are not allowed to serve.
IMO what happened is that the Generals (all) approached Mattis and asked him to withdraw the Obama rule because it was causing lots of problems and was getting serious. Mattis put a temporary ban and took the issue to Trump, and one month later he decided to remove the Obama regulation. Seems to me that was the right decision - and if any of the senior Generals comes out and states that he disagrees with Trump, I will stand corrected (extremely unlikely).
And therein lies the truth of the matter - Trump did what the military leaders wanted having assessed the issues, and Obama did what they didnt want and ignored their issues. Trump IS the Commander-in-Chief and unlike Obama, he is very much in support of the USA military and what they stand for and what they do.
The list is below - it is not discrimination - it is rationale.

"IMO what happened is that the Generals (all) approached Mattis and asked him to withdraw the Obama rule because it was causing lots of problems and was getting serious. "
IMO what happened was that Trump had a brain fart of an idea to distract everyone from the Russia/Trump Campaign collusion investigation. It didn't matter who he hurt as long as it was a hot button issue that would serve his purpose of distraction.

So to be clear not only is Donald Trump spreading Russian propaganda, but it is propaganda which completely contradicts the findings of the FBI and other security agencies who state clearly that Russia was not even attempting to be sneaky.
And the fact that Donald Trump is a tool of the Kremlin is now part of the Senate record.T

They have no freedom to join the Armed Forces. No one does. Trump's duty is to the Constitution first and to "we the people."
Just because they don't like it, doesn't make it a right.
"Trump's duty is to the Constitution"
Then he should stop threatening the Press.
Stop supporting voter suppression efforts.
Stop threatening the independence of the Judiciary.
Respect Jeff Session's Recusal from the Russia investigation.
Stop demanding loyalty from people whose only loyalty should be to the law and the Constitution.
Tell your hero to do his duty to the constitution.

Obama letting Transgenders into the military was a backdoor attempt at getting them medical benefits for sexual reassignment surgery. Just getting the American tax payer pick up the bills for transgenders.
It's the Military-Medical complex, I tell you. Letting in impotent heterosexual men is also a backdoor to getting them viagra on the taxpayer dime. They fight wars so injured soldiers will need medical treatment at taxpayer expense. It all makes sense now.

Heel spurs are no laughing matter. Having to surgically remove them isn't a joke either. I've had bone surgery before. It is to be avoided.
I commended your ability to feel another's spa if—specifically the pain of one POTUS 45, Donald John Trump.

Baseless assertion.

You now qualify to go on to the next round in Alternate Bingo where you circle whatever number you want and scream "BINGO," at any point in the game apropos of nothing actually happening in the game.
Good luck! You're a winner!
