Wall Street Journal calls for Ivanka and Kushner to leave White House
The Wall Street Journal called on President Trump's daughter and son-in-law Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner on Friday to consider leaving their White House jobs, calling them a "political liability" in an already turbulent administration.

Republican Party Motto:
“We believe in small government that doesn’t interfere with businesses or personal liberties — unless you don’t share our extremist views on guns, gods, gays and gynecology.” - Mrs. Betty Bowers

The World Is A Safer Place Without ~~Saddam~~ Trump

Trump plans to retaliate against President Vladimir Putin by
-still not implementing the bipartisan sanctions authorized by Congress
-still not granting NSA authority to disrupt Russian hacking of our next election
-demanding Hillary Clinton's impeachment.
- John Fugelsang

Trump Flips On Background Checks
The White House on Friday walked back President Trump’s apparent support for universal background checks for gun purchases.
Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump supports “not necessarily universal background checks, but certainly improving the background check system.”

Most amazing thing I have learned today.
MAGA - you know, like Make America Great Again - is in Nigerian parlance a word that means easily fooled idiot.

Tucker Carlson has turned on Trump. Assaulting women, supporting Nazis and endorsing a child molester was ok with Tucker, but threatening to take away people's guns was just TOO MUCH. - Andy Borowitz

New reports say ISIS is plotting a chemical weapons attack on the US. At this hour, Alec Baldwin is likely more informed on the topic than Donald Trump. - Richard Hine

Trump Mixes Things Up A Bit. Worldwide Tariffs!
President Donald Trump said that he plans to impose a 25% tariff on imported steel and 10% tariff on imported aluminum. The announcement sent markets tumbling more than 500 points on Thursday.
The proposal has left beer and beverage companies wary. More than half of the beer produced every year in the U.S. is packed in aluminum cans or aluminum bottles.

Trump appears to be having a tariff tantrum.

I'd like to thank the US Judicial Branch for proving to the rest of the world that America proudly has one branch of govt that still, y'know, functions.- John Fugelsang

Hope Does Not Spring Eternal

Hope Hicks is resigning from the White House
White House communications director Hope Hicks, one of President Donald Trump's longest-serving and closest aides, is resigning, the White House confirmed Wednesday.
Hicks' departure capped her meteoric rise from Trump Organization communications aide to the upper crust of power in Washington in just a few years, during which Hicks sought to maintain a remarkably low profile for someone in her position

Hope Hicks lasted approximately 19.6 Scaramuccis as communications director. - Katie Watson

She should've quit because of this

No Response From Trump On The Video Bombing Of Mar-a-lago By Putin. Jesus.

Trump Is Handing The USA To Putin On A Cyber Platter
President Trump’s choice to lead the National Security Agency (NSA) said Thursday that the United States’ response to Russian election interference has not been sufficient enough to change Moscow’s behavior.

So Ken Starr, who leveraged a mandate to investigate a 1980s land deal to try to impeach a President over a mid 90s extramarital affair is telling us Bob Mueller is exceeding his mandate? Lol. Okay, sure. Why not? - Josh Marshall

This reminds me of the scene in the first "Planet of the Apes" movie where people are worshipping a golden nuclear bomb.
Apparently that's where we're headed.

Feeling a whole lot better today as we watch Trump being taken down by his staff, his friends, his foes and reports by the non-fake news columnists and commentators. As Trump goes down, America goes up! - Carl Reiner

Racists Everywhere, Even The Interior Dept.
An Interior Department special assistant resigned Wednesday after a search of her social media accounts revealed that she routinely shared conspiracy theories, false statements and racially tinged comments about Muslims and African-Americans.
Christine Bauserman, who worked in the office of the assistant secretary for lands and minerals and often attended policy briefings with Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, quit immediately after her social media activity was revealed by CNN. In her role, she attended at least nine meetings with the secretary in September alone.

The Son-in-law versus the Chief of Staff

Kushner loses access to top-secret intelligence
Presidential son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner has had his security clearance downgraded — a move that will prevent him from viewing many of the sensitive documents to which he once had unfettered access.

Let he among you who's never forgotten a $1mil+ loan or lied to get WH security clearance cast the 1st stone at Jared Kushner.
1 line please
