The 2017 International Tree Climbing Championship - World Championship is in DC this weekend. -- (link) - Max Jul 28, 14:45 2
- Are you competing? -- nm - decline Jul 28, 14:49 1
  - I might climb a lumberjack or two... -- nm - Mop Jul 28, 14:50
We all know how much Trump respects the Courts ... let's see how this plays out. -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 28, 14:44 9
- That doesn't make any sense. -- nm - Max Jul 28, 14:50

    - "And lo it came to pass that after 30 years, the 'Maverick Senator' actually wrote a check his body could cash" -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 14:54
    - If this is true, McCain has been playing them for awhile. Interesting. -- nm - jnine Jul 28, 14:50
    - That's frickin devious -- nm - decline Jul 28, 14:49
  - I think Twitter should just make it a mandatory part of being Blue - having to report if you are a public official. - Beryllium Jul 28, 14:45
Susan Collins arrived back in Bangor today to applause as people saw her in the terminal -- (link) - ty97 Jul 28, 14:36 3
- This makes a lot less sense if you read it as Bangalore. -- nm - Max Jul 28, 14:41
- "Thanks for not voting for the shittiest non bill ever that was not really meant to pass!" -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 14:38 1

And a little bit of this -- (link) - ty97 Jul 28, 14:33
Sean Spicer quit. Michael Short quit. Reince quit (?) or was fired (?). This is a purging of former RNC staff from Trumpland. -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 14:32 22
- And now Two retired generals run the Pentagon and White House, and an active general runs the National Security Council -- nm - decline Jul 28, 14:36
- Any pretense that the RNC had any control over Trump is surely gone now, right? Or do they still think he's on their side? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 28, 14:35 16
  - "Ryan-Priebus ally to me: next phase of Trump presidency will be warfare against GOP Congress" -- (link) - ty97 Jul 28, 14:37 15
    - this is fine -- nm - Paul Ryan Jul 28, 14:47
    - Had enough, McConnell? -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 14:43 2
      - wuuuuut? -- nm - McConnell Jul 28, 14:47
      - As if. -- nm - TWuG Jul 28, 14:46
    - "Ryan-Priebus ally tells me Trump is moving toward "an independent WH" untethered from the Republican Party" -- (link) - ty97 Jul 28, 14:39 10
      - The first steps of trying to make a dictatorship? -- nm - decline Jul 28, 14:44 2
        
        I would like to think that we are far too resilient to let that happen and that he is far too dumb to make that happen -- nm* - ty97 Jul 28, 14:45
        
        That would be one way to approach that goal, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 28, 14:44
      - If that's what it takes for the House to vote on articles of impeachment, so be it. -- nm - mara Jul 28, 14:43
      - Sounds about right. Will be interesting to see how that works out. Seems to me he's screwed if he thinks he can govern without congessional GOP - pmb Jul 28, 14:42 5
        
        My guess is that is going to try to use his power over his base to scare GOP Congress into submission - ty97 Jul 28, 14:44 3
        
        It's worked so far. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 28, 14:46 2
        
        To an extent, yes - ty97 Jul 28, 14:49 1
        
        It has more impact in states where he has more popularity. Those are becoming fewer and fewer. -- nm - pmb Jul 28, 14:50
        
        "Obama did it" -- nm - Beaker Jul 28, 14:44
- As Dawson says, Trump is the Republican Party now -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 14:35
- ad in Comey and you've got a barbershop Quartet -- nm - peglegpete Jul 28, 14:34
- I bet those quits were behind the scenes force outs. They were able to quit to save face. -- nm - Bacon Jul 28, 14:33 1
  - I mean, obviously. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 14:37
The question is, who is next? -- nm - Marlowe Jul 28, 14:30 3
- it's like a Final Destination movie -- nm - Beaker Jul 28, 14:41 1

- How exciting to watch somebody else pick up a car. -- nm - pmb Jul 28, 14:31 5
  - It's more the info that's coming with that. Actual specs, options, pricing, etc. - TWuG Jul 28, 14:35 4
    - That does strike me as kind of crazy for the folks getting their cars tonight. Here's your long anticipated car and here's the invoice and thus - JD Jul 28, 14:39 3
      - These new owners are all Tesla or SpaceX employees and were given access to configure their cars early, so price, options, etc aren't a surprise - TWuG Jul 28, 14:43 2
        
        ahhh,,,so just the people on the list with triple digit numbers and higher still in the dark 8-) -- nm - JD Jul 28, 14:51 1
        
        Correct. :-) -- nm - TWuG Jul 28, 15:00
- Or, just as exciting, you can watch paint dry - decline Jul 28, 14:30
Same as last year, some white hat hackers again took control of a Tesla through a wifi hotspot - TWuG Jul 28, 14:27
Time to save some face: Source close to Priebus claiming he resigned *yesterday* -- (link*) - ty97 Jul 28, 14:21 6
- Now Priebus himself is claiming this to reporters, that he resigned privately yesterday (so why was he on AF1 today?) -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 14:24 2
  - I cannot wait until we get to the bottom of this diabolical plot--Oh wait. Two weeks notice. -- nm - con_carne Jul 28, 14:26

- Did Trump claim he fired him? -- nm - mara Jul 28, 14:22 1
  - It's having trouble passing the smell test is all -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 14:24
no more -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 28, 14:20
[deleted] 11
- women are always ambitious when it comes to politics, havent you listened to any of trump's speeches. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 28, 14:30
- Sh!t 6 months from now and it'll be your turn -- nm - decline Jul 28, 14:22
- Which underlings have improved their standing since working for him? Any of them? - Reagen Jul 28, 14:18 6
  - [deleted]
  - Any of them could get a book deal or a cable news deal. And a lot of money if they are willing to risk their NDA. -- nm - pmb Jul 28, 14:31
  - KAC seems to at least have held steady -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 14:20 2
    - But who would touch her post-Trump oh jeebus CNN of course they would. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 14:26 1
      - I fully expect they've tried to poach her already -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 14:30
  - Mike Pence. -- nm - Mop Jul 28, 14:19
- The blind ambition of the Mooch is really something to see. When you see everything he said up to the election about Trump and hear him now, it's - pmb Jul 28, 14:17
- I'm the one that can keep in check! He respects mmeeeeeee!!!!! -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 14:12
So he tweets this apparently right before (or as) AF1 lands at Andrews AFB. CNN had a live camera waiting for Trump to leave the plane. - ty97 Jul 28, 14:04 7
- I should clarify. Scaramucci and Reince had been on AF1 with him. - ty97 Jul 28, 14:06 6
  - Must have been a pleasant flight -- nm - decline Jul 28, 14:07 5
    - The small packets of peanuts must have been flying. -- nm - Max Jul 28, 14:08 4
      - And it was the smaller AF1 (757) which I did not know existed, not the 747. So tighter quarters -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 14:09 3
        
        "If I could find my belt buckle I would so fight you right now." "You're lucky I don't have the leg room to kick your ass." -- nm - Max Jul 28, 14:10
        
        Mooch is relishing this right now. Will be interesting how he feels when he's gone in 3-6 months. -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 14:09 1
        
        This guy looks likely to explode in flop sweat very soon. -- nm - Mop Jul 28, 14:12
NOBODY IS GOING HOME! -- nm - CNN Newsroom Jul 28, 14:03 2
- I don't know why you all believed Priebus ever worked here. That was fake news. -- nm - Huckabee Sanders Jul 28, 14:06 1
  - He was just interim Chief of Staff, until they found someone good. -- nm - Mop Jul 28, 14:07
Reince out. -- nm - Jovian Jul 28, 13:57 10
- Best headline: Trump sacks his own cuck. -- nm - nubby Jul 28, 14:11 2
  - *Citizen Kane clapping.gif* -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 14:12
  - *sodakeyboard* -- nm - Max Jul 28, 14:12
- ~cackles with glee~ -- nm* - The Mooche Jul 28, 14:05 2
  - Kelly doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who would put up with Scaramucci's bullshit. -- nm - Mop Jul 28, 14:08 1
    - "Okay, honey, DC didn't work out so I've returned home. Honey?" -- nm - August Jul 28, 14:09
- Firday night's alright for fighting. -- nm - Max Jul 28, 14:03

- Reince cycle complete. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 28, 13:58 1
  - now lather and repeat? -- nm - JD Jul 28, 14:00
this is a pretty epic summary of the past 16 hours -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 28, 13:55 1
- The next 8 hours are gonna be spectacular. -- nm - Mop Jul 28, 13:58
Vox: What McCain did was hard. What Murkowski and Collins did was much harder. -- (link) - Mop Jul 28, 13:55
Wait what?!? -- (link) - decline Jul 28, 13:55 11
- So now we need another confirmation hearing for Secretary of Homeland Security? -- nm - Mop Jul 28, 14:00 3
  - Sure. It will only take him 6 months to fill the position. - pmb Jul 28, 14:06 1
    - Thankfully the asst. Secretary who will run things knows her sh!t -- nm - decline Jul 28, 14:29
  - yup -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 14:00
- And Reince's demise ain't a surprise at all. Writing's been on the wall -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 13:58 3
  - The revolving door at the WH is actually quite terrifying -- nm - decline Jul 28, 14:00 2
    - only the best people -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 14:02
    - If you get your foot caught in it, you're screwed. -- nm - Mop Jul 28, 14:00
- Signed "Reince Priebus" -- nm - Mop Jul 28, 13:57

  - "I see we've reached the phase of authoritarianism where the president wants everyone around him to be a military leader" -- nm - Beryllium Jul 28, 14:01
So a good week for him overall then -- (link) - Reagen Jul 28, 13:44 21
- *snork!* -- nm - Mop Jul 28, 13:55
- I was wondering yesterday what his wife and kids were thinking - guess the kids are a little too young to care. -- nm - Meg Jul 28, 13:52
- There are things a hedge fund manager's wife objects to? That doesn't square. -- nm - Max Jul 28, 13:49 17
  - Look at the photo of her with Melania, I'll bet a suggestion to get cut was a bit too much, but honey cat's eyes are the bomb -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 28, 13:55
  - *everyone* has limits. -- nm - Andie Jul 28, 13:52 15
    - Especially when she can probably walk away with a hunk of cash. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 13:54
    - It's the same with Melania though. I just don't buy that these wives didn't see this coming even before they were married. -- nm - Max Jul 28, 13:54 13
      - She may have seen the wall street life but not the DC life. I mean, he's a dick either way, but I can understand that being this much of a public - pmb Jul 28, 13:57
      - Although, okay, maybe he did a 180 after writing this book. -- (link) - Max Jul 28, 13:56
      - i think they expected assholery in the corporate world. No way did Melania think she'd end up as First Lady, and I'm sure Scaramucci's wife wasn't - Andie Jul 28, 13:56 3
        
        She thought he was going to run years before. She posed wrapped in a flag and nothing else, on top of the Presidential seal. He broke up with her - jnine Jul 28, 15:05
        
        Melania was dating Trump when he ran for President in 2000 four years before they got engaged. Maybe she thought he'd never make it, but - Max Jul 28, 14:01
        
        I think you are correct - it just can't be worth it -- nm - Epiphany Jul 28, 13:58
      - Melania was ready to walk if Trumpo had lost. Guarenteed. -- nm - Jovian Jul 28, 13:55 6
        
        This makes zero sense. -- nm - mara Jul 28, 14:00 2
        
        maybe he means that Melania was so fed up and over Donald by the time the election came that if he'd lost she - Andie Jul 28, 14:04 1
        
        Hmmm. Okay, some amount of sense greater than zero. -- nm - mara Jul 28, 14:07
        
        They get along as well as Charles and Diana at the end -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 28, 13:57
        
        oh, i think she wanted him to lose. She clearly doesn't want the role she now has. -- nm - Andie Jul 28, 13:56 1
        
        I agree. -- nm - pmb Jul 28, 13:57
- " dumped by his beautiful blond wife because of his obsession with Bannon's cock" - Epiphany Jul 28, 13:48
They didn't include Tumblr, but otherwise, spot on. -- (link) - Qale Jul 28, 13:43 14
- Those could all have been about the hamburger. FB: Top 10 Hamburgers In States Where You Don't Live!. Snap: I'm a hamburger!... -- (edited) - con_carne Jul 28, 13:51 1
  - Nothingburger? I actually posted about my hamburger here because I'm not on Instagram. -- nm - Qale Jul 28, 13:52
- My carefully curated Facebook friends list means I've seen ZERO essential oils posts. -- nm - Mop Jul 28, 13:48
- I need everyone to forget tumblr even exists - cause if someone wakes up and realizes all the unregulated pr0n on that platform - Epiphany Jul 28, 13:47 8
  - Oh I imagine Tumblr is not long for this world. They've banhammered just about all the accounts I was following. -- nm - Qale Jul 28, 13:51 1
    - seriously? my mains are pushing some envelopes lately. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 28, 13:56
  - speaking of, how's your Kodi box? :) -- nm - oblique Jul 28, 13:50 1
    - 1) the Kodi box and/or the stick is very unreliable. Its glitchy as hell 2) the Kodi pr0n is a European nightmare and not worthy - Epiphany Jul 28, 13:56
  - Pippy, pr0n fan. -- nm - Mop Jul 28, 13:48 3
    - *unregulated* pr0n -- nm - znufrii Jul 28, 13:49
    - Where have *you* been? -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 13:49 1
      - I don't know, man. I'm just happy to get your names right. Are you the tall one, the Asian one, or the guy posting from prison? -- nm - Mop Jul 28, 13:52
- LOL -- nm - Mop Jul 28, 13:47
- L4! spot on -- nm - Epiphany Jul 28, 13:45
