I don't think she rocks the boat at all.

The Mooch's official starting date wasn't even until August 15. He sold off his investments, he missed the birth of his kid, he got divorced for Trump sycophancy. What a life!

Some fun trivia I just read: "President Reagan actually had a comms director who resigned after 11 days, per NBC's Stacey Klein. It had come out he was in the Nazi Youth."

I'm thinking that when Kelly came on board he said "No wannabe mob peon is going to release profanity-laden tirades on my watch. Ditch him"

He missed the birth of his kid. WTF! I mean that is just WTF. Especially for a job that you hadn't started at yet officially. WOW!

April Ryan (White House correspondent) is reporting that a source informed her that the Mooch actually told Kelly "I don't report to you" and was pretty much sacked right after that.

Almost simultaneously with this news is the info that Kelly called Comey in solidarity back when he was fired, furious that it happened, and almost resigned himself.

Ahh, Trump's White House. How you entertain me.

It's been a boon for comedians and late night talk shows (Daily Show, John Oliver, Samantha Bee, Colbert, Conan...et. al).

They've been some of Trump's loudest critics and have brought up the impeach idea, but secretly they are probably hoping Trump gets re-elected in 2020.

I don't think anyone but hard core trumpers want that...

His wife divorced him just before the birth, which says volumes.

I heard he sent her a TEXT that read "Congratulations"

Because that's what an absentee father should do after the woman who bore his child...labored to birth said child. Send his congratulations.

Fucking dipstick.

I think the only good thing is that this chowderhead sold off his business and such to get into a position in the WH...and 10 days later he's fucked. I mean he's a wall street douchebag, so I'm sure he'll be fine...but it's a nice little bit of karma for a shitstain like this guy to get bit in the ass. Even if it's only a little.

The kid was in NICU as well. Still is as far as I know.

Oh jeezus. I didn't know that.

That makes him even more of a dipstick. He should not be allowed within 100 feet of that kid.

[Abyss]

Now that he's single and looking for a reality show gig, he doesn't want to be within 100 feet of anyone's kid, even his own.

[QuickTidal]

I read something that said he's now basically fucked.

Cribbed from a comment I read:

If the sale of his hedge fund to the Chinese collapses, it proves his appointment was motive for a Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violation. If the sale goes through , but for one cent less than the previously announced $90million, it proves the same, because he’d be accepting less with less access to offer.

Laymans:

The sale of his hedge fund to Chinese company HNA has to be approved by the Treasury Dept. , and by all accounts (and my specific examples of how fragile it is in every scenario). He is wide open to exposure of violations of the FCPA.

So it sounds like he's up the creek.

If there's actually an official investigation it seems to me that the conclusion is foregone.

Fuck this Sarah Huckabee Sander's lady. Lying through her goddamned teeth.

Seriously. Oh, the phone calls never happened, but the conversations did ...just in person....so there's no record of them other than Trumps word, but they happened!

No, they fucking didn't. Yeah, tell me about his camp girlfriend in Canada while you are at it.

How the fuck do these people sleep at night?

Just a guess but on a serta with memory foam pillows surrounded by cash. While their self respect slowly does the walk of shame away forever.

What I find most odd, is that they seem to think the issue is whether the conversations happened or not by itself. While the conversations occurring would alleviate some of the problems, it is still very strange for someone to confuse a telephone call - twice, in one week - with a face-to-face conversation. Because that's not something that you lie about. You don't pretend it was a phone call instead of face-to-face, there's no point. Which implies something is terribly wrong with Trump's memory.

But, I think what is most telling here - because, let's be honest, no-one is buying that excuse anyway, especially when the Boy Scouts are on record with their chief apologising for Trump's speech rather than praising it - is that they're still having to cover for him. Honestly, that NY Times article is probably dead on - this is just reflex for Trump. It's easier for him than telling the truth (especially when the truth is likely to be a lot less positive), so he just defaults to making stuff up.
And Sanders is probably going to be fired over it. Because, like Spicer, she has no idea how to convincingly cover for him without either lying herself or sounding like a liar - and that's Trump's problem with everyone who speaks on his behalf - he doesn't understand why they can't do what he does. It's because most of them aren't off-the-cuff liars. They're best when they're scripted and prepared. Thus why they keep disappointing him.

That being said, the ground is shrinking rapidly under Trump's feet. Between Mueller and the Republicans slowly turning against him, he is likely feeling very alone right now. Which isn't good for his already well established paranoia and instability. But it's probably good for making it much more apparent that he's unfit for the job.

[QuickTidal]

I think you're right. Default setting for Trump is "lie". I don't know that he could tell the truth even when telling the truth.
