See, my mother kept her surname and gave it to all her kids, and my step-dad has sometimes admitted that he wished he’d changed his surname to ours when he married her because, although he knows it isn’t true, sometimes he feels like he isn’t part of the family unit. He says it’s been particularly noticeable to him…

I’m finding Mattis a bit scary, actually. I was listening to someone today describing him, and apparently he is very, very anti-Iran because of his experiences in Iraq with the militants trained in Iran that killed so many American personnel. It sounds like he might well have a real desire for revenge, which seems so…

My understanding from some of the podcasts I listened to today (who were all asking that question as well) is that they (Trumpworld) didn’t trust the Obama administration (I don’t know what that means or what they didn’t trust about it) and that maybe they wanted to talk to the Russians about the future direction of…

I know several people who worked at the Observer and the phrase they all use to describe Kushner is “not very bright” and these are pretty polite people.

Yeah, I used to be fiercely pro-my last name. And I still enjoy the history of it, but I don’t feel like I need to have it attached to me to enjoy the history and know I’m part of it.

I guess that’s it. I don’t care as much about my own name and at this stage of my life I feel more connected to this little group of…

It’s acceptable if you enjoy long, unpronounceable names with silent letters. 

McMasters is active duty military and was compelled by congress. He was tapped by Trump, whether or not it was his choice is unknown but he would have had to resign and end his career in order to avoid serving in his current position. This happened after the previous retired Admiral that Trump asked to step in was…

I have no love for Chris Christie, but I want him to join the legal team that gets to put him away.

The thing with this lot is that they were all born into wealth and have absolutely no street smarts. They’ve lived their whole lives in a bubble, surrounded by YES men, lying to get their way, and they think that is the way the world works.

In the screwball comedy “Dick” - style version of events, Kushner will be played by Andy Sandburg. Trump, of course, will be played by Alec Baldwin. Cecily Strong can keep playing Melania, and I’m thinking maybe Kristen Bell could do a hell of an Ivanka impression. And no question, Melissa McCarthy will play Sean…

my fave workout trick (RIP) was to go on the elliptical at 8 pm when the o’reilley factor came on. if i was feeling tough, i would start at level 1 and for every stupid thing they said, i would bump it up a level. if i was tired, i would start at lvl 25 and drop it a level every stupid thing i heard.

That’s exactly what he would have had to do. The thing is I’m guessing he’s trying to hang in there for a fourth star so resigning would have basically forfeited his career goals. I’ve given him the benefit of the doubt up to this point because his military record has been nothing but stellar, I’m wondering if he’s…

He looks like he’s screaming with his mouth closed in every picture

But for the fact that diplomatic backchannels are never made through Russian secure communications by a newly elected President’s transition team well before inauguration.

His “calm” demeanor is that of a psychopath. I ain’t fooled.

I don’t understand why someone in the administration would need back channels of communications with Russia. In this case back channels means a way to hide what they say from for instance the Justice Department, right? Why would the administration want to do that? What justifies that? (Not trolling, just asking)

Mattis did volunteer but McMaster didn’t have a choice in taking the position. This is the first time I’ve read a statement from him that I’ve found troubling, we’ll see how this plays out. I don’t think he has anything to do with the Russia connections but I don’t see any reason why he should offer an opinion like…

I read an interesting quote from a former editor of the magazine Kushner ran into the ground, basically saying that his apparently calm demeanour is a put-on; like his FIL he is vengeful, doesn’t think ahead, and doesn’t ever think his family is in the wrong (they’re picking on uuuuuuus).

Its going to be amazing when the outcome of this election was that Ivanka is actually the puppet master and it wasn’t Donald that defeated Hillary but a well connected Russian sympathetic over-botoxed handbag designer did

Jared Kushner looks like he listens to Phill Collins and chops up people with an axe.
