Ivanka is leading the search to replace President Kelly
Via Gabriel Sherman, Trumpie's pissed over Kelly's comments to Fox News about him "evolving" on the wall. So he's got Ivanka looking for a replacement.
Trump’s anger at Kelly’s immigration comments is the latest flare-up in a relationship that has been deteriorating for months. A four-star marine general, Kelly was never going to be an easy fit in a West Wing with a Lord of the Flies office culture. Staffers have bristled at Kelly’s rectitude, nicknaming him “the Church Lady,” a former official said.
Trump has increasingly been chafing at the media narrative that he needs Kelly to instill discipline on his freewheeling management style. “The more Kelly plays up that he’s being the adult in the room—that it’s basically combat duty and he’s serving the country—that kind of thing drives Trump nuts,” a Republican close to the White House said. In recent days, Trump has fumed to friends that Kelly acts like he’s running the government while Trump tweets and watches television. “I’ve got another nut job here who thinks he’s running things,” Trump told one friend, according to a Republican briefed on the call. A second source confirmed that Trump has vented about Kelly, mentioning one call in which Trump said, “This guy thinks he’s running the show.” (A White House official said “it’s categorically false that Trump is unhappy with Kelly. “He’s only ever referred to him as the general, tough, can be rough, and commands respect.)
Kelly, in turn, has expressed frustration with Trump’s freewheeling management style and habit of making offensive statements. In August, when Trump incited outrage with his Charlottesville comments, Kelly complained to a colleague that he was “holding it together.” The next month, cameras captured Kelly’s infamous facepalm at Trump’s U.N. speech when Trump called Kim Jong Un “rocket man” and threatened to “totally destroy North Korea.” The New York Times reported that Kelly has threatened to quit numerous times.
Same old shit.
But this is truly delusional:
Trump, for his part, is frustrated that he’s not getting more credit for positive news like the booming stock market and low unemployment numbers. In recent days, he told a longtime friend that the national polls, which put his approval numbers in the low 30s, are under-representing the real number. Trump insisted his approval rating is in the high 50s. The friend challenged him, but Trump didn’t want to hear it. He soon ended the call.
He believes his approval numbers are in the high 50s.
Our president lives in his own world.

Hurry up Mueller.
Well...he hasn't tanked the economy so there's that.
I do believe General Kelley is the adult in the Oval Office

That image sorta said it all.
Trump is a mental midget tossing cookies thrown out to his 'free' basin from his porcelain throne, like a 'free' mason building a Mexican Wall for an 18 billion price tag...
that Trump told US Mexico was paying for, asz he's too ignorant to evolve from the Neanderthal knuckle dragger, which caused his hands to wear so bloody damn small.
R we sure his 'free' base aren't 'free' basing ? Could explain a lot.
NYT just reported Sessions was interviewed by Mueller last week, should be an interesting tweet, hang on Kelly.
This morning, Sarah Sanders clearly debunked Vanity Fair's fake news:
Wait - what's this you say? Someone is leaving the Trump administration?! Oh boy, that IS news! Lol. There's lower turnover at the deodorant testing facility, where the employees stick their noses in strangers' ripe armpits.
Sarah Sanders has never "clearly debunked" anything. She is a dishonest shill for this incompetent administration and is only good at blowing smoke up media skirts.
Still going back 25 years for talking points eh? The BJ was perfectly legal, consensual affairs happen all the time. Banging a porn star and paying her $130,000 to keep quiet, having at least 16 credible women accuse you of sexual assault and admitting on tape that you "Don't even wait" for consent, you "just start kissing them" and "grab them by the pussy", now that's our current disgusting Commander in-Competent.
Lying about it while under oath, however, was not. That's perjury. I believe it's a Class 4 Felony, good for five years in Leavenworth.
And billy boy paid $850,000 to one of his victims..
Their "credibility" is questionable especially since there are reports that they were paid to make the accusations. Oh and bill had a similar number of accusers.
Would YOU have believed her?
Bill Clinton has been publicly accused of sexual misconduct by three women: Juanita Broaddrick accuses Clinton of raping her in 1978 though she later retracted her accusation; Kathleen Willey accuses Clinton of groping her without consent in 1993; and Paula Jones accuses Clinton of exposing himself to her in 1991 and sexually harassing her.
Donald Trump has a total of 17 accusers not including the woman who claims Donald Trump and Jefferey Epstein raped her when she was 13 or the 5 teens who accused him of walking ion on them while they were dressing the youngest of which was 15 at the time. The 17 credible accusers include Jessica Leeds, Kristen Anderson, Jill Harth, Lisa Boyne, Temple Taggart, Cathy Heller, Karena Virginia, Mindy McGillivray, Natasha Stoynoff, Jennifer Murphy, Juliet Huddy, Rachel Crooks, Samantha Holvey, Ninni Laaksonen, Jessica Drake, Summer Zervos and Cassandra Searles.
So when did "3" become similar to "17"?
It's that new math
the one that doesn't add up...
Sarah's qualifications for her job (other than being the daughter of a faux news shrill) was she attended a Baptist college and was a behind the scenes campaign worker in small races, suddenly she is catapulted to national prominence. As qualified as all other trump appointees.
The less education and experience they have the better for Trump. That way they aren't conflicted with facts and reality as they are directed to stand in front of the American people and regurgitate blatant lies and half truths.
Well, you know, Rightwing math.
Trump said what this country needs is a good shut down. Then when it happened the "master negotiator" stood back getting his shit and giggles.
Actually it happened when Chucky Cave In decided to play games.
With seeds like this this place should be called "Gossip Hounds". This is about as newsworthy as the Weekly World News articles.
Here's some news for you.
Mueller is calling Trump to an interview related to obstruction of justice.
Mueller seeks to question Trump about Flynn and Comey departures
Mueller is calling Trump to an interview related to obstruction of justice.
Still waiting for any evidence of collusion.
to Trump have tried to warn him for months that Mueller is a “killer,” in the words of one associate
So Mueller won't author a memo exonerating Trump regarding obstruction of justice before interviewing him and won't let material witnesses to the investigation sit in the interview as Trump's "lawyers."
yea, nothing to hide here huh ?
Yea, what are we up to, 16 people in Trump's immediate proximity and or administration, haven shown to be in communication with Russia. Two await trial,
while two have plead guilty and are cooperating.
Yea, Trumps NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR pleading guilty to lying about Russia to the FBI is
DEFINITELY not PROOF of ANTHING
is it...
After years of investigations into Benghazi and Hillary's emails that turned up nothing illegal the right wing nuts proclaim she's guilty of everything under the sun but apparently a "deep state" allows her to get away with murder, literally. But start digging into Trump and his campaign or administration, get multiple guilty pleas and several indictments and it's "Nothing to see here! No collusion! No obstruction! No money laundering! Nothing to see here! Now go away you dirty prosecutor! It must be the deep State once again!" As they return to sticking their fingers in their ears and squeezing their eyes shut.
They're obviously just following Trump's lead.
You also have to love the calm about and before the Stormy' Jack Daniels/.
Just watched 'Christian' leaders brush it aside.
The 'rights' ' hypocrisy, apparently knows no boundaries, offensive enough, when it comes to Trump.
Sad reflection on our entire country.
you do what you want, i'll treat him with the respect that he deserves
are you speaking of Trump's attorney general, Sessions ?
skirting the CoC [ph]
for one who denies proof so often
don't you find it Funny
U
never seem to require any,
cause some of us might.
So Mueller's 'corrupt' investigation caused Flynn and George Step... to plead guilty to lying...
Would you like to elaborate before I do ?
Yet the State Department has documents that state she opted out of the briefings.
Proven by who? No one. Fox news, brietbart and infowhores don't count, sorry.
Not even close, it is not Mueller that will get the fucking, prison has that reputation.
So, you think Trump is guilty then?
Who knows and, who cares? That train wrecked last year with Comey ending the investigation with no charges filed against anyone, however, in this case two people have pled guilty and, two are under indictment while the fate of others haven't been decided yet and, apparently you think Trump has something to hide, isn't that why you said he should plead the fifth?
We're you not just saying the other day that innocent people plead the 5th all the time? Yea, I think that was you.
I will take the fact that you don't deny it as confirmation that it was you. Thanks.
Are they going to skip taking notes and have a prepared conclusion ready that's been written by somebody who saw Trump as an insurance policy against Clinton during the election?
Meant as reply to above post.
can you please explain what it is you mean with these words ? Thanx
is where I stopped
Your interpretation of Armando's words was not asked.
if you
wish to speak for him, have him say so thanx
That's actually exactly what I meant. The FBI refused to make notes or record their interview with Hillary making it impossible to catch her in lies or contradictions. In other words a sham interview.
saw Trump as an insurance policy against Clinton during the election?
.
How exactly was Trump an Insurance Policy, would be my question ?.
I'm switching the candidates around. FBI agent Peter Stryok (or however his name is spelled) wrote an email to his mistress saying that he saw Hillary- who he supported- as an insurance policy against Trump to stop him from winning.
I'm certainly not the grammar police, close enuff for me
ok, I understand your point.
what I don't understand is, Comey is the reason (final straw, that broke Hillary's back), that Trump was elected, so Hillary being an insurance policy....? against Trump being elected, when Hillary and her Weiners' E-mails, that were brought to light just ten daze before the election by Comey, are why TRump got elected.
See , nothing to be confused about here, hear ?
Except he wasn't.
The insurance policy is almost certainly the CLinton paid for dossier, that the spouse of the since demoted DOJ employee Bruce Ohr worked on.
Trump asked the acting FBI director whom he voted for during Oval Office meeting
Shortly after President Trump fired his FBI director in May, he summoned to the Oval Office the bureau’s acting director for a get-to-know-you meeting.
The two men exchanged pleasantries, but before long, Trump, according to several current and former U.S. officials, asked Andrew McCabe a pointed question: Whom did he vote for in the 2016 election?
McCabe said he didn’t vote, according to the officials, who like others interviewed for this article requested anonymity to speak candidly about a sensitive matter.
One person said the Trump-McCabe conversation is of interest to special counsel Robert S. Mueller III.
LOCK TRUMP UP !
is asking are you GAY, SAD ?
Here's a head start for you boys next conspiracy theory. No thanks necessary.
The only thing I can say, that it is encouraging that someone is at the helm, I was under the impression the government had been on autopilot.
Yeah, sure he has. Trump's mysterious "friends" are such good friends that they decided to leak something that sounds like 8th grade gossip and these two grown men are incapable of reconciling a disagreement that really isn't much of a disagreement to begin with. Furthermore, Trump is desperate to throw away someone who has radically improved the functionality of his White House. That's sounds totally plausible - if you set aside reason and common sense.
Is this supposed to be Kelly's fault, too? Or is this just a tangent? Either way, the idea that Trump is unsatisfied with media coverage of him is hardly news.
