Don't bet on it... they might still ask you.

Lets all welcome Trumps new pick as UN Ambassador ... Heather Nauert.
And yes Heather, if WW2 someday happens again, Germany will be ready to fight again on D-Day, on the side of US-Troops

IT's breaking news because he's not hosting the Oscars.

[BeBMan]

Just curious - some guy not hosting the Oscars is breaking news these days?

Good. The planet has a lot to answer for.

Hillary Clinton ruined the entire planet. I don't think it is fixable.

Preistap is retiring by end of year from the FBI. He and 12 other Obama era people who were heavily involved in the Clinton email investigation and Russia election meddling investigation scandals have left since Hillary lost the election.

Hilarious how you people make everything about him so that you can accuse him of "thinking" everything is about him.

Ds are now voting against nominees if they are "complicit in family seperation policy." New level of uselessness.

Senate confirms Trump nominee Kraninger as head as the CFPB.
She is a woman who seems to actually have no experience that would make her a fit director for this bureau.

I guess this means that after the EPA, now also the CFPB will be converted into an agency that isn't interested in protecting US citizens, but rather is nothing but a service provider in order to protect the interests of the companies (or, in this case, banks).
Expecting mass firings of employees who don't adhere to this new mission statement very soon

Because he thinks the world revolves around him, Trump probably took multiple eulogies as personal attacks. But in fact, they were just remembrances of GHWB, describing how dedicated civil servants and civilized humans behave. The Donald couldn't even be bothered to pray aloud with the other Presidents, even though he had the words, literally in his hand. His obvious discomfort was delicious.

How do I enrich myself as much as possible with my political position (Trump edition)

Tip 1280:
Use the money that your voters donate to your election campaign for making your own companies richer

That`s something Donnie does in his 2020 election campaign.
Even now, 2 years from the elections away, 1 Mio $ of donations for Donnies election campaign already went to companies in Trumps possession ... among them ~655k alone to the Trump Tower.
The designated use of the money to the Trump companies seems to be dubious at least.
