Interesting examination of the latest on Steve Bannon, who's playing 'Where's Wally?' around the White House in order to not get the sack.
But here's thing: if a big shake-up does happen, and he — along with others — are shown the door, I think he's got it in him to really turn on Trump, and do it in a big way. He could go right back to Breitbart, and sink Trump utterly in revenge, causing his own base to turn on the Great Orange Turd like the rabid animals they are.
In the end, it might not actually be investigation that send Trump packing, but it might just be people he's really, really pissed off (Bannon, Sessions & Co).
- I can't wait when his own children will turn on himzaq
- I don't think they will, they drank way too much of that particular Kool-Aid.Continuity

Sean Spicer quits... no surprises there. You can't polish a turd after all.
- Spicey Resigns ?!?
Shocker.Ramanisky2 - He probably knows somethingzaq
- Nah. He'll deny he's resigned at the next press briefing, then the Whitehouse will then confirm it. Trump will then tweet 'fake news' and then he'll go.monoboy
- His replacement will deny it happened.monoboy
- omg and Robo will blame Hillary or Obama.monoboy
- It'd make a great Ealing comedy.monoboy
- I feel sorry for him. In a way. I mean, what a shit job, having to be the mouthpiece for THAT turd.Continuity
- I'd cut the bit about hiding in the bushes though.monoboy
- He basically had to be the public arsehole that Trump talks out of.Continuity
- He took the job. Only resigned because he doesn't like the new guy. He's in it for the money and intern blowjobs.monoboy

A different perspective.
The most recent podcast from Sam Harris is a conversation with Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert cartoon). It's illuminating and gives (perhaps) some rationalisation for the Orange Goblins behaviour.
I've asked on here before about the justification and support for Trump and his seemingly ludicrous behaviour with little insight other 'he's a fucking mad fucker'. This podcast delivers a perspective that goes some way to explaining and justifying the way Trump behaves.
If you get the chance, it's worth a listen.
- i don't know. so people are following him because he is a great persuasive person, but can't see who he really is?capn_ron
- I'm not inclined to agree with Scott Adams but it's the first time I've heard a supporter rationalise his behaviour. I found it interesting and a different...Morning_star
- I can appreciate his comments and agree with you. he actually explained it well how Trump gets people to listen even if he isn't telling any truth at times.capn_ron
- ... perspective. It's gets dull experiencing the same unqualified opinion in an echo chamber like this thread.Morning_star
- agreed.capn_ron
- I cant tell if Adams really supports trump or just sees him as a golden goose of book material and marketing controversy.R_Kercz

Maybe this is normal and it's not been covered like this in the past, but it seems like a bad sign that there's so much turnover of top staff this early on into trumps term. If he's really going to run this country like a buiness, I'd say all the shifts in the org chart at this point will undoubtedly shake the confidence of staff and you expose customers and competitors how unstable your organization is.
This has lead me to believe that he probably doesn't run anything and people run around undoing anything he touches when he does do something. it's not so easy to hide and fix Trump's messes now that he's president.
- Yep - but Spicer was a nobody anyone - a paid mouthpiece and turd polisher. Had no influence on policy etc. Just a fixer when the senile piss stain tweetedfadein11
- something retarded again. Only so long you can be in that role with someone like Trump.fadein11
- Spicer's (limited) memoirs and diaries could make interesting reading. I mean, he's seen more shit in 6 months than most PresSec's see in a full term.face_melter

Dem senator to reintroduce ‘buy American’ legislation
A Democratic senator is renewing a push to advance “buy America” legislation after House GOP leadership killed a similar effort last year.
Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) plans to unveil a measure on Friday that would require American iron and steel products to be used in certain drinking-water projects. She will make the announcement at Neenah Foundry, a Wisconsin manufacturer.
“We must rebuild our country’s infrastructure with American labor and American products,” Baldwin is expected to say, according to prepared remarks.
“The choice for the Republican establishment in Washington is clear: Do you stand with American manufacturers and workers or do you support spending taxpayer dollars on Chinese and Russian steel for American water infrastructure projects?”
The same language was included in a waterways bill last year, but was stripped from the final version by Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).
Critics say the language is unfair because it blocks some companies from receiving federal dollars.The fight against "buy America" provisions was also fortified by a lobbying effort by foreign steel companies that recruited Squire Patton Boggs, which employees former Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), to pressure lawmakers to ditch the language.
NLMK Inc., a major Russian steel company with some facilities in the U.S., and California Steel Industries, which is jointly owned by a Japanese steel company and a Brazilian mining company, both hired the firm to lobby on the waterways bill in 2016, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
But supporters like Baldwin believe they have a new opportunity with President Trump in the White House.
Trump has repeatedly promised to follow “two simple rules” with his infrastructure policies: buy American products and hire employees in the U.S.
Most federal transportation programs are already governed by some sort of "buy America" statute, but the government can grant a waiver if it’s in the public interest, the materials aren’t available in the U.S. or if it would increase a project’s cost by more than 25 percent.
Baldwin’s bill would require 100 percent American-made iron and steel to be used in any projects funded by the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, which acts as an infrastructure bank to help improve drinking water around the country.
“Now is the time for President Trump to decide if he will keep his promises by supporting this legislation, or will he go along to get along with congressional Republicans who have embraced the status quo and blocked this legislation that puts in place a strong Buy America standard,” Baldwin will say.

- I don't know why you keep using the word smart. Based on the facts, it would be dumb people who support abortion, and dumb people who get them.omg
- Aside from rare cases where rape or health may be involved. It would be the not so smart and irresponsible neglect of contraceptives that needs abortion.omg
