Intercepts: Sessions discussed the campaign with Russian Ambassador in 2016.

That pretty much leaves Bannon, Preibus and Kushner to hold his choke chain, but they don't like each other.

Uh oh. Down to two.

[Bullettime]

Uh oh. Down to two.

Yup. Bannon, Kushner, Miller, McMaster, Scaramucci, and Kelly will be the inner group now. Kelly and McMaster have questionable loyalties but NOT to Trump given their handling of other issues. Kushner is under immense fire already and having to lay low and deal with his own shit, and both Bannon and Miller despise Scaramucci.

I think Ivanka is still in the mix...

Oh please, it's not like she's meeting with the UN secretary general or OH FOR GODS SAKE LADY YOU SELL SHOES.

Well it was looking like we might make a whole page without it. Pretty sure I hit all the key points but I'm no expert on how to Trumpkin.

-Not a Tump fan
-But her emails!
-Everyone but me is Partisan
-It's all fake news
-Evil MSM

What am I missing?

Benghazi and Pizzagate

I doubt it will come. I don't think Trump wants to make hay over this, in large part because literally everyone around him is likely telling him to keep his mouth shout. They know he likely doesn't want to sanction Russia (hence the language out of spokespeople going from "he'll definitely sign" to "we'll see, I don't know what he's thinking"), but there's no good outcome for him vetoing it and they know it.

Telling him to keep his mouth shut? I'm picturing Big Lebowski time.

Trump has shown time and again that while he demands loyalty, he gives little in return.

Trump is accustomed to being the boss, and having everyone answer to him and nobody to answer to.

He's going to find out really fast that not giving loyalty in return for loyalty in Washington is the fastest way to have your own party vote you out of office.

But then again, the fact that he thought Obama was a tyrant and a dictator makes a lot more sense now. With how much Trump attempted to do unilaterally in his first 100 days (that all failed), it became clear that he thought the presidency was all-powerful. I mean he went to a private military school for fuck's sake. Did he cheat his way through civics and not learn anything about our system of governance? But I think we can count it as a blessing that Trump doesn't actually know how to do his job properly. The military and executive branch can run on auto-pilot for a couple of years until we oust the buffoon.
