Imagine a preeminent White House official who is unqualified, incompetent, and contemptuous of the law. Or who conceals his contacts with foreign officials, is targeted for exploitation by foreign intelligence services because of his naïveté and lack of ethics, and is deemed a security risk by his own government.

Imagine one who conducts suspicious and undisclosed meetings with a foreign power. Or who enmeshes America in the reckless acts of a murderous foreign autocrat. Or who exploits his position for personal and business advantage.

Any one of these conditions would ordinarily be cause for the official’s resignation and disgrace—mandating this malefactor’s immediate termination.

But what if that the president’s most influential advisor combined all these qualities—yet was also the president’s son-in-law.

Well, then you’d have Jared Kushner.

History will not be kind to those that supported this buffoon. The pendulum will swing with the might of an ax.

Donny sparks confusion with tweet on North Korea related sanctions

Donny triggered rampant confusion among his own aides and administration officials when he said Friday he is withdrawing new sanctions aimed at North Korea that were just issued by his own administration.

Hey Whell, ready to admit it's 25th amendment time?

“For an administration that continues to surprise, this is another first — the president of the United States undercutting his own sanctions agency for imposing sanctions on Chinese actors supporting North Korea,” said John E. Smith, the former director of the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, who left the department last year. “It’s a win for North Korea and China and a loss for U.S. credibility.”

Losing is the new winning. What a feckin' moron.

Recording Reveals Oil Industry Execs Laughing at Trump Access
The tape of a private meeting was made shortly after the lawyer for an influential industry group was tapped for a high-level post at the Department of the Interior.

https://www.politico.com/magazine/st...n-zinke-226106

“Drain the swamp!”

Hey Whell, do you think the oil industry having unprecedented access to the administration is a good thing for democracy? If so, how? Please explain.

Donny Tried to Undo North Korea Penalty, Contrary to U.S. Account

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...to-u-s-account

Quote:
President* Donald Trump last week intended to reverse sanctions imposed on two Chinese shipping companies accused of violating North Korea trade prohibitions -- until officials in his administration persuaded him to back off and then devised a misleading explanation of his vague tweet announcing the move.

Trump stunned current and former government officials Friday afternoon with a tweet saying he had “ordered the withdrawal” of “additional large scale sanctions” against North Korea. For hours, officials at the White House and Treasury and State departments wouldn’t explain what he meant.

The president* in fact intended to remove penalties Treasury had announced the day before against two Chinese shippers that had helped Pyongyang evade U.S. sanctions, according to four people familiar with the matter. It was unclear whether Trump knew about or signed off on the measures before they were issued, or what triggered his tweet the next day.

Later Friday, in the wake of Trump’s tweet, the administration sought to explain away the move with a statement -- initially requesting no attribution to anyone -- that said the sanctions against the Chinese companies hadn’t been reversed but the U.S. wouldn’t pursue additional sanctions against North Korea.

There were no additional North Korea sanctions in the works at the time, according to two people familiar with the matter.President Donald Trump last week intended to reverse sanctions imposed on two Chinese shipping companies accused of violating North Korea trade prohibitions -- until officials in his administration persuaded him to back off and then devised a misleading explanation of his vague tweet announcing the move.

McConnell to Trump: Health care’s all yours

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/...-trump-1242865

The Moron in Chief apparently doesn't understand that his party lost the midterms BIGLY over this very issue. Good, let him divide his party of hate.

Trump's fixation on health care because it is associated with Obama will cost him and the Repubs dearly.

It took Trump 90 seconds to lie about the “Mueller report” during Michigan speech

https://www.vox.com/2019/3/28/182863...ichigan-speech

The fact that he lies constantly isn’t so much the issue for those who understand he’s a con man. The problem is the millions of Whells who believe every lie as gospel truth. Sad little brainwashed morons.
