The 45th POTUS - Donald J. Trump

It’s not like there’s a “maybe/maybe not” here anymore. This is only Trump team people, trying to burn other Trump team people in order to save themselves.

even Hannity looks like he can't believe they are leading with this again

My guy’s voice been crackin on some recent panel discussions

I just don’t know what else to read but a man freaking out because there’s no exit.

[McParadigm]

For fucks sake!

At the very least, he'll be checking into rehab next week.

I've said it before but I would still like to go 15 years in the future just to see what is being written about the Trump administration.

There won’t be any writing 15 years so now. Trump will be getting rid of it soon

A lot of people are looking back at it this morning and trying to ascribe some kind of rationality to his behavior…but Occam’s Razor says this is just a man who sees the walls closing in, is scared for his life, and who has no good options left.

In that regard, there’s a dystopian sci-fi quality to the story in which we’re living. Millions of people sitting at home, watching terrified guilty people crack on live television. History unfolding in real time, but in the most voyeuristic way possible.

The former CEO of a payday lending company that had been under investigation by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has asked to be considered for the top job at the watchdog agency, The Associated Press has learned.

Such a request would have been extraordinary in the years when the agency was run by an Obama appointee and often targeted payday lenders. Along with recent actions taken by the CFPB, it suggests a cozier relationship between industry and regulator since the Trump administration took over in November.

I think the rollback of consumer protections in general has been one of the biggest stories of Trump going (relatively) underreported. The Post came out with a fairly extensive roundup of a lot of the actions that have been taken (and not taken), but this quote I thought was pretty interesting:

“There hasn’t been a lot that has been methodical about this presidency, but I do think Trump is systematically dismantling consumer protections,” said Mark Totten, a Michigan State University law professor who studies the enforcement of consumer protection laws and a 2014 Democratic candidate for Michigan attorney general.

The infuriating thing is there are people out there that will find this ridiculous yet still won't vote for Warren this November because Indians.

Assholes don't disappoint.

god he's a bumbling idiot...

[doug rr]

later, Gary..get back to us at some point

[dimejinky99]

Has any other US presidency had so many key staff changes/resignations as Trump's given he's only is his second year.

Has any Presidency been so mired in scandal and set to fall this early into its term?

It’s only his second year.

[McParadigm]

Holy shit.

Not without forewarning, but still a shocking event. This also seems to give credence to the rumors that many people in the White House are looking for an exit...especially because the “many people” rumors were also the “including Gary” ones.

So this Nader guy was nabbed at the airport. And had his electronics confiscated. On his way to Mara Lago.
