Peter Dinklage as Press Secretary would make this whole fiasco 10 times more fun to watch.

How sad.....The Mooch was the best thing to happen in the WH Freak Show so far. Finally, we had evidence of human cloning. The guy must have spent the last 6 months practicing Trump's gestures in a mirror. Plus he is a self-admitted front stabber.

I pictured him more as a test tube baby created from the DNA of Gordon Gekko and Joe Pesci.
John Oliver probably had the best description: "What if a tanning bed was a person?"

Indeed. Grey Worm as Secretary of Defense. Missandei as new Communications Director.
And Jeff Sessions already looks like a White Walker, so we're all set!

I think Hugh Hewitt, poorly-healed burn victim, definitely looks like a
White Walker...

Re: Scaramucci gone?
He seems to be one of the few competents in the administration. I fear who will replace him as head of homeland security.

Lawsuit: Fox News concocted Seth Rich story with oversight from White House
quote:
The White House worked with Fox News and a wealthy Republican donor to push a story about the murder of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, according to an explosive lawsuit filed Tuesday.
The story was pushed in an attempt to discredit the US intelligence community's determination that Russia hacked the Democratic National Committee and obtained the emails released by Wikileaks, the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit, which was first reported by NPR, was filed in US District Court in the Southern District of New York. The plaintiff is Rod Wheeler, a Fox News contributor and former homicide detective hired to investigate Rich's death, who alleges that he was misquoted as part of the effort to put the story together. Douglas Wigdor, who is representing current and former Fox employees in other lawsuits against the network, is Wheeler's lawyer.
...
Included in the lawsuit is a text message from Butowsky to Wheeler in which Butowsky writes, "Not to add any more pressure but the president just read the article. He wants the article out immediately. It's now all up to you. But don't feel the pressure."
Butowsky told CNN that this message was a joke referring to what he said was Wheeler's desire for a job with the Trump administration. "This was Rod and I," Butowsky said. "We teased all the time. We were basically telling him you are doing a great job and that the president or the White House or somebody would be interested in meeting you."
Can you say "feeble"? I knew you could!

Add that to the news that the Pres actually wrote his kids initial story about the meeting with the Russians and what do you get?
Yet more incompetence.

You know, if I squint hard enough, I could see conservatives saying, "Well, Clinton woulda been worse."
What I absolutely cannot fathom is the large number of supporters who can still look at this Administration and say, "Yeah, that's the President I want!"

Perhaps the only way to convince the Tea Party/Trump crowd that their movement can't govern and that their policies won't work is to put them into power and watch the ensuing chaos. What we are seeing is what happens when a political party is simply an opposition party and nothing else. When they are asked to come up with their own ideas everyone can finally observe that they are intellectually bankrupt.

The Mooch
I am surprised no one mentioned the Mooch has already resigned.
Boy, how scuzzy can you be. He didn't even give his two week notice.
