Trump is treading dangerous ground. If he continues to wreak havoc in financial territory, the Repubs may decide obstruction of justice is bad after all.

He’s pretty successful at fucking over the environment and education, both of which will have long term negative effects.

They seem to be curiously oblivious to the possibility of getting voted out, or that they might lose majorities in Congress. Almost as if they are sure that Uncle Vlad will save the day for them ... again.

We haven't seen a lot of effects in education yet. Environment, yes, and I hate Ryan Zinke with every fibre of my being. But I have no hope whatsoever that any other Republican president would be doing differently, alas.

I figure that if we can hang in there until there is a purge of corrupt republican (apology for the redundancy) congress-critters, we can remediate the damage. My worry is that no such purge will happen as long as Russia is allowed free rein to muck with our elections.

That is a concern, though at present it seems like all they really did was push at an already ambivalent voting public; no one can deny that the vote was pretty close in the most contested spaces.

Gary Cohn Is Out
- acting attorney general
- NSA
- white house communication director x3
- FBI director
- Whatever Cohn was (commerce or some junk)
While threatening the current FBI director and his own Attorney General and Asst Attorney General.
This is cream of the crop of Admin and Governance. And in just 14 months.
Oh and Futures are trading down about 330 pts at the moment.
That list is less impressive as just saying:Please note this image is probably a month out of date. The font keeps getting smaller and smaller...

So is Gus the field goal kicking mule available to take over for Cohn?
Whatever one may think of Cohn, he was qualified for the job. And considering that Rick Perry thought the Department of Energy had something to do with oil in Texas, is it really that unreasonable to think that tomorrow we'll be introduced to some kind of farm animal with a MAGA hat glued to its head?

Trump wanted his pilot to head the FAA. Maybe his accountant or bookkeeper...

She's on with it right now. They keep having to zoom further and further out.

Sorry. I should have put my Cohn thread here. Merged.
Cohn thread - cone head.
Thanks, Starwater, for reminding me.

Trump thinks this level of turnover is healthy.
This is the part where your argument fell apart for me.

Jared's lost his security clearance.
You probably don't need one of those to be the head of the Council of Economic Advisors...

Disagree. Cohn was the least unqualified for the position. That his resignation indicates the braintrust is leaving is bad.

Thought today is that many more of the council will be leaving too since they were picked to be there by Cohn.

I read that Cohn has no successor as his asst. had already resigned.
