Hey moron, your tweets have consequences.

You call them consequences, he calls them objectives.

Or would if his vocabulary included words with that many syllables.

Ah joy, another apparent MAGA Bomber.

Think our resident Trumpkins will declare it a false flag?

[FeedsOnDevTears]

If they want to do it effectively, they would target employers, almost exclusively. Otherwise, the might of Federal government going after thousands of individuals, instead of the few corporations that employ hundreds of them... is exactly what “shooting flies with an elephant gun” is supposed to make fun of...

Employers of illegal aliens... you mean, like Donald Trump?

Literally one hour between those tweets.

Holy shit, imagine if they track down whoever called in the threat and discover they were motivated by Trumps tweet. That's depressingly not outside the realm of possibility given the recent MAGAbomber incident.

Hopefully presidency ages trump so quickly hes muttering fake news in the dementia wing of a retirement home soon enough

Unfortunately, unlike most Presidents who age during their term, Trump doesn't do anything as President. You have to be under stress to get the "Presidential Greys"

if I had the money, I would buy billboards all in red farm areas with



followed by "remember, you would have lost it anyway, MAGA"

The worst part is that it will likely work. Schrödinger's economy continues. Trump is doing the bestest job in the word fixing the horrible mess, but reality Democrats/Rinos/Fake News are keeping him from doing what he needs to do. Just expect them to say stuff like that. Trump ran and runs on a simple message "The world is shit and only I can fix it". If he did not create problems that he can pretend to fix, people might realize what's up.

Reports are that Kelly will resign in the next few days. I wonder who Trump is going to have replace him.

Whoever loves the taste of orange spray tan the most.

I don't think Trump can pick himself.

[Breccia]

Reports are that Kelly will resign in the next few days.

Not that I don't believe such reports exist, but we've heard them before. Mattis and Kelly lose honor by the day. At this point, their reputation is damaged forever even if they resign in protest.

Apparently they're not on speaking terms anymore... But it's the Trump admin so who knows

[Breccia]

Well, NBC News now cites multiple sources on this, so, it's looking pretty serious.

[Dontrike]

I don't think Trump can pick himself.

I'm sure he'd try.

Oh, and, there's a tweet for everything.

3 Chief of Staffs in less than 3 years of being President: Part of the reason why @barackObama can't manage to pass his agenda.

"Hey wait, that's posted Jan 10, 2012! That's four years!"

Well, Trump is technically referring to the time of the first firing to the third hiring, not Obama's entire tenure to date.

*ahem*

So let's be fair, and apply the same to Trump. Trump fired Priebus July 31 of last year. If Kelly leaves, say, next week, Trump will have had three chiefs of staff in almost exactly one and a half years. Twice the rate of Obama. For which, Trump mocked him.

Trump is twice as gud at guberment!

I believe nick ayers is the favorite.

[Breccia]

And now, Trump has signed it.

As @Skroe pointed out, there really wasn't a choice. But man I love that picture.

[cubby]

Kelly for sure, Mattis I disagree on. I think he's staying in because at least one adult needs to be in the loop for the Two Man Rule re Nuclear Authorization Launch Protocols. I saw that with all seriousness. We know of at least one occasion where Mattis just batted away some ridiculous idea Trump sort-of ordered. I for one am glad Mattis is at the helm and keeping at least some of the ship right.

I believe nick ayers is the favorite.

Is he the 30-something kid that used to carry Trump's luggage? I'm sure he's all ready to carry out and manage domestic and foreign policy.

On that note, did you see the idiot Trump is nominating for U.S. Ambassador? A talking head for Fox News? Who just recently found the State Department? Fantastic. NPR was openly saying he made these announcements as a distraction for the Mueller indictments coming down later today.

So uh...I guess Tillerson has some things to say about Trump now.

It wasn’t difficult to read between the lines. Tillerson said Trump is “pretty undisciplined, doesn’t like to read” and repeatedly attempted to do illegal things. He didn’t call Trump a “moron,” but he didn’t exactly suggest that Trump was a scholar — or even just a steady leader.

Trump Cut Muslim Refugees 91%, Immigrants 30%, Visitors by 18%

So Trump seems to be almost getting his "Muslim ban" that he's been wanting. Remember, it's not specifically because they're Muslim, that's just a coincidence.

Dow falls 400 points after Trump advisers simultaneously contradict each other on trade

"We've gotten a hodge-podge of mixed messages from people in the same administration," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley FBR. "We're not sure who we're supposed to listen to."

Gee, it's almost like this administration is a clusterfuck of stupid that doesn't know what the fuck they're doing and can't even agree on something as basic as a god-damned single message on a key topic.

Trump continues to be on the rampage to reverse everything Obama did. This time? Making school lunches less healthy because kids won't eat healthy food or something. MORE SODIUM FOR ALL BECAUSE HEART DISEASE ISN'T A PROBLEM IN THE US!

And RIP cheap oil prices Trump was just bragging about.
