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. Apparently, The Mooch was not even on the job yet.
Scaramucci got fired after 10 days. Before his formal start date. quote: Now he won't be able to claim he had to sell his hedge-fund because of his Whitehouse job. So he will have to pay taxes on the sale proceeds after all.

His hiring provoked the immediate resignation of Sean Spicer and the belated ousting of Chief of Staff Reince Priebus on Friday, July 28. No matter how bad Scaramucci's replacement is, the mooch did do some swamp draining. He facilitated three departures in just 10 days, all the while providing fun and laughter. Final grade A-.

I've had this phrase running through my head: "Scaramucci, Scaramucci, can you do the fandango?" He would have had to do it pretty fast. Apparently, The Mooch was not even on the job yet. On the bright side, it shouldn't take long to clean out his desk.

On the bright side, it shouldn't take long to clean out his desk. Lol! When prospective employers do their reference checking, I can imagine Kelly saying, "Well, he left a clean desk and did not steal any office supplies.

Apparently, Trump wants to cut down legal immigration by something like 50%.
quote: Really? Is that where the complaints have been coming from. Low-income and minority workers are complaining that they cannot get $8.50 per hour jobs cleaning hotel rooms? Surely not. From a policy position, don't we need younger workers to compensate for the boomer and post boomer-driven aging of our population? Or is this just alt-Right crap ala Bannon to stave off the browning of America?
quote: Tom Cotton? Yeah, I should hope this plan faces long odds. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

In fact, they are so hard to get that they don't even try to apply for them, forcing the Don to hire immigrant workers.

Trump claims that the president of Mexico called him to congratulate him on immigration policy and that the Boy Scouts of America called him to say that Trump had given the greatest speech ever made to them.
Both the president of Mexico and the Boy Scouts deny every making those calls. Today the White House press secretary says that the phone call from the president of Mexico was actually an in person discussion. That correction came after the Mexican president told us he made no such call. The chief of the Boy Scouts actually apologized for Trump's speech and says that he made no such call. There has been no explanation at all for this apparent discrepancy. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

As he has for years, the Republican presidential nominee filed this month to import foreign workers for the jobs instead of hiring Americans, Buzzfeed News first reported Wednesday. Trump is running his hotel business? Really? Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

I think the goal of every thinking American citizen should be to make sure Trump remains President for the rest of his first term but simply ignore anything he tries to do. Leave him in office but just pretend that the Executive Branch of Government does not exist for the next 3+ years. Let him continue to make a fool of himself, to tweet like the twit he is, to sign lots of Executive Orders but simply treat them like preschooler drawing and put then on the refrigerator door.
Just say "How interesting Donald? Did you do that all by yourself? I bet you worked really hard at it."

Trump is running his hotel business? Really? The link in the article that they referenced as "last month" was from 2016...

While I agree with the sentiment, I see the damage his appointees are trying to unleash on the various federal agencies. America is stuck between a bad and a worse place and the destruction of our government and society that has begun under these traitors may be unrepairable, ever.

As long as the crap they try simply gets ignored we will survive. And so far it seems in most states even the Republican Governors have sense enough to ignore what the President and his henchmen try to do. There are exception like Texas where the current government is as evil as the Trump Administration but even there there is push back at the local levels with Chiefs of Police and Mayors saying "Hell no!"
