If we're going to have a yapping drama queen for a president why not televise him for our collective enjoydisgust?<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwteRJTcR50" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwteRJTcR50</a>

Related to GOP efforts to repeal the ACA, Tomi Lahren (essentially) said this at Politicon this weekend:

"The ACA sucks! Also, since I'm only 24, I'm still on my parents' plan!"



EDIT:

Lahren, in full:

Lahren: "I think that the, the free marketplace does better."

Interviewer: "Okay, so do you have a healthcare plan, or no?"

Lahren: "Well, luckily, I'm 24, so I'm, I am still on my parents', and so to say--"

*crowd erupts, drowning out Lahren*

"The Mooch" got fired? *Vader screaming No gif*

He was such a gift to comedians already during his short term! Why must Trump ruin everything he touches?!

This presidency seriously. It goes to show you that Trump is terrible at hiring people.

What it shows you is that Reince Priebus was probably marginally competent (in Scaramucci's words, Priebus "cockblocked" him).

But is eleven days some sort of record? (Yes, the Mooch lasted 11 days.)

"The Mooch" really had a career in White house like he did in Futurama:

Apparently this was at Kelly's request so the new guy is already bringing order to the White House.

Ironbite-see if it lasts the week.

Another explanation I've heard for the firing of Scaramucci is that Trump thought he was getting too much media attention and overshadowing him.

Fucking hell the President is the thinnest-skinned snowflake ever.

So after sitting on it for a few days, Trump finally signed the Russian sanctions bill. That he called "significantly flawed." And unconstitutional. So, I'm not in a position to comment on whether or not the sanctions bill is in fact flawed of unconstitutional, but I have to ask one question: If this bill is so bad and unconstitutional, why the FUCK did you sign it, you fucking idiot?

Because he didn't want to be embarrassed when Congress overrode the veto.

Keep in mind that it was just a few Freedom Caucus types in the House, and Paul and Sanders in the Senate, who voted against it.

He was very quick to put out a statement that he was only voting against the bill because it included sanctions against Iran.

https://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/sanders-statement-on-iran-and-russia-sanctions

Quote
I am strongly supportive of the sanctions on Russia included in this bill. It is unacceptable for Russia to interfere in our elections here in the United States, or anywhere around the world. There must be consequences for such actions. I also have deep concerns about the policies and activities of the Iranian government, especially their support for the brutal Assad regime in Syria. I have voted for sanctions on Iran in the past, and I believe sanctions were an important tool for bringing Iran to the negotiating table. But I believe that these new sanctions could endanger the very important nuclear agreement that was signed between the United States, its partners and Iran in 2015. That is not a risk worth taking, particularly at a time of heightened tension between Iran and Saudi Arabia and its allies. I think the United States must play a more even-handed role in the Middle East, and find ways to address not only Iran's activities, but also Saudi Arabia's decades-long support for radical extremism.

Paul's criticism was more wide-ranging.
