Last I checked, he’s still going to PR. PR Tuesday and then blood-on-the-streets Las Vegas Wednesday. I wish I could say that it would make an impact on him.

Mostly OT, but I can’t put this is a social thread and I don’t see it anywhere else.

Fox has a few pages. Lots of “Trump tweeted.”

And let’s remember what the Jones Act has been doing to P.R., and not just since Maria.

The hate is strong in you. And in me too. I fantasize about it sometimes. Sure, one person couldn’t get it done, but we’d keep trying, and we only have to get lucky once.

I’m trying to get my bearings. If this were happening on Dubya’s watch — in other words if we were still in a sane world where the Congress at least tried to appear to serve the people that elected them — and Dubya tweeted like this (or said it in a speech) — would Congress have reprimanded him, or called him to task…

IS this on Kinja yet? Fallout from Tom Price. Memo dated 9/29. Chief of Staff John Kelly must approve most travel on govt aircraft by admin officials, budget chief Mulvaney says in memo to dept heads.

Remember in January when the Trump Transition Team could have gone to the GSA’s Ethics Training, but they decided to skip it?

Correct.

It looks like Trump’s chosen cabinet have been Trump patrons who either know nothing about the department they head, can benefit financially from manipulating it, and/or are actively trying to destroy it. I guess Price was at least a two-fer.

My theory: Donald’s speech comes from an AI.

I watched SHS at the press conference today, and she really said this, but I didn’t get it at the time:

They may already have done, tovarisch.

a hospitalized senator that doesn’t exist.
