THIS TOO PLS

 

[whyamihere]

@JohnJHarwood
Ryan-Priebus ally tells me Trump is moving toward "an independent WH" untethered from the Republican Party

PLEASE

 

[Ernest]

I can't see someone like Kelly, not butting heads with Trump almost immediately.

I give him even less than 6 months.

 

[Box of Kittens]

PLEASE

Couldn't happen to a more deserving group of opportunists.

 

[Zolo]

PLEASE

This is good.

 

[Slizeezyc]

PLEASE

They're, like, his only friends! Why would he do that? They're the only ones he's been able to bully into doing his bidding, and especially Ryan.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

He was absolutely forced out. I was only making fun of Ryan's timing.

Ah, I see.

Sooooooo Trump-backed primary challengers all over 2018?

God, please. And I hope they both run each as I and GOP to split the vote for the Dems.

 

[Kusagari]

I expect Bannon to just quit when Sessions goes at this point.

 

[Random Human]

They're, like, his only friends! Why would he do that? They're the only ones he's been able to bully into doing his bidding, and especially Ryan.

They're all that's standing between him and impeachment, lol.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Less than 24 hours later? Yes.

The man has zero self control and you truly believe he sat on this for 24 hours...


No way.. he leaks shit and is incapable of keeping to a pr strategy.

 

[Ithil]

PLEASE

I can't wait for him to learn just how much he was being propped up by the GOP.

 

[kess]

Imagine losing your wife over Donald Trump

 

[Futurevoid]

If Trump decides to forego the interim appointment of the deputy DHS Secretary, the next in line would be:

 

[chadskin]

So it begins

Fox News is calling Reince Priebus and Speaker Ryan "never-Trumpers."

[TS-08]

No way

I never said that I thought that's what happened. I just don't think your tweet proves it didn't. And yes, I think it is possible.

 

[Barzul]

PLEASE

Fun. fun. fun.

 

[smokeymicpot]

So it begins


https://twitter.com/philip_elliott/status/891050876701483008

Of course. Now Ryan has to grow a spine his only real friend in the white house is gone.

 

[Zolo]

So it begins


https://twitter.com/philip_elliott/status/891050876701483008

Trump making use of his Fox contacts.

Why is fox siding with Trump over the GOP?

 

[Sciz]

They're, like, his only friends! Why would he do that? They're the only ones he's been able to bully into doing his bidding, and especially Ryan.

At a guess? Because of the pushback against firing Sessions. He really wants to do it and Congress is actually threatening him back for once, so he's just going to throw all his toys out the pram.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Why is fox siding with Trump over the GOP?

Because Trump loves Fox and listens to them more than anyone.

 

[Zolo]

Why is fox siding with Trump over the GOP?

Fox has more power over Trump than the GOP as a whole. Also, it likely appeals to their viewers more.

 

[TS-08]

Why is fox siding with Trump over the GOP?

Trump is probably more popular with people who watch Fox than establishment GOP members.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Why is fox siding with Trump over the GOP?

Trump is friends with everyone at Fox.

 

[kcp12304]

PLEASE

This isn't even my final form.

 

[metalslimer]

Do you ever think anyone of these people ever have that movie realization moment that they were wrong all along

 

[Slizeezyc]

Of course. Now Ryan has to grow a spine his only real friend in the white house is gone.

Lolz, yeah like that's going to happen.

And why do people even need to ask why Fox is siding with Trump? He's the only thing keeping the lights on there beyond hate boners for Clinton.

 

[Zolo]

Do you ever think anyone of these people ever have that movie realization moment that they were wrong all along

This isn't a movie. Money and climbing the ladder rule.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Donnie was being somewhat professional for once in his life? No way, he didn't sit on it..

 

[Aaron Strife]

This isn't a movie. Money and climbing the ladder rule.

McCain's maneuver is totally out of a movie though.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Why is fox siding with Trump over the GOP?

Their viewership.

By the end, the only senior official plotting to defend Reince — and destroy Mooch — was Steve Bannon. He saw the jaw-dropping New Yorker piece by Ryan Lizza as a last ditch opportunity to kill Mooch. Bannon tried to conspire with other conservatives to get the message to Trump that this was beyond the pale — and he got some support from Laura Ingraham and Lou Dobbs — but ultimately Trump had made up his mind. He was over Reince.

As for Mooch, Trump initially found his crude quotes to Lizza amusing, but he became less thrilled about it as the negative coverage piled on. But he was never going to punish Mooch, let alone fire him. Jared and Ivanka had brought Mooch in, in part, as a Reince-seeking missile. They and the First Lady distrusted Reince, thought him incompetent and wanted him out. The President gave Mooch his blessing to nuke Reince, but he will likely be pleased to see his new comms director dial back his aggression (and colorful language) a few notches.

[hipsterpants]

I'm half expecting Trump to declare himself as part of some new political party that he created.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Where does this crusade against the GOP leave Pence?

He's super establishment

 

[Zolo]

They and the First Lady distrusted Reince

These people are fucking paranoiacs.

Bannon in danger.

 

[Wilsongt]

RIP Rumpleforeskin.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

This is like when a saturday morning cartoon tries to avoid the heroes committing murder by having the main villain pluck off his own people for constantly screwing up.

 

[Drkirby]

I'm half expecting Trump to declare himself as part of some new political party that he created.

Now that would be interesting, hard to say how the chips would fall.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

Did I not say that this is when straight up hostilities begin between the WH and Congress?

Indeed I did.

 

[pigeon]

Where does this crusade against the GOP leave Pence?

As President.

 

[Zolo]

Where does this crusade against the GOP leave Pence?

He's super establishment

 

[TS-08]

Donnie was being somewhat professional for once in his life? No way, he didn't sit on it..

He barely "sat" on it. Also, this did leak. Mooch basically announced it and Cernovich of all people was clearly tipped off. Hell, even Stinkles on this very board seemed to have had some info that this would happen today.

 

[Pastry]

Did I not say that this is when straight up hostilities begin between the WH and Congress?

Indeed I did.

WH was having communication issues with them even wth Reince around, it's going to be a shitshow with him gone.

 

[Slizeezyc]

I'm half expecting Trump to declare himself as part of some new political party that he created.

It will be the best party!

He's basically going to be the really bad version of Theodore Roosevelt.
