[ More than half vacant!! What an incredible wasted opportunity that is! With Republicans in charge of the House and Senate. A conservative and intelligent President could reshape the courts for decades . Too bad we don't have one. The party chose not to pick one of those as the nominee. I blame Preibus, Bannon, Sessions, Matt Sludge, Rush, Hannity and all the other creepy Fox people ... to hell with them all. ] hey have not undone every executive order that could be undone. They have also not rolled back all of the regulatory state imposed by the Obama Administration — things that could be done without Congress .a distracted President raging on Twitter with a new communications chief who has turned the White House upside down. Trump’s supporters praise the incivility as progress and are merely distracted from the fact that barely anything has been accomplished.just be for show. he’s dammed up the swamp, put a party boat on it, and has turned his attention to twitter. no leadership to Congress , which in turn neither fears nor respects the President enough to line up behind his agenda. He has done only the bare minimum to advance his agenda in large part because he is so easily distracted into complaining on twitter and his staff is easily cajoled into fighting itself. Which Toxic Trump encourages. Moochie admitted Sideshow Don had okayed his attack on Preibus. And presumably Bannon as well. What does this accomplish besides drama? In fact, it discourages accomplishment. ] bluster being confused with success. Moochie's New Yorker interview where he blasted Preibus and commented Bannon's unusual sex practices .... Sideshow Don LOVED it. That's what Sideshow Don wants more of. The story that they've been telling themselves and others, about the President growing in office, looks more and more like a fable. Instead, insiders feel the situation is getting worse.A George W. Bush alumnus told us last night: "Republicans don't care about Russia. They do care about dysfunction."What triggered this new bearishness among White House officials and their allies were the crude quotes by incoming White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci to The New Yorker's Ryan Lizza in a jaw-dropping piece headlined, "Anthony Scaramucci Called Me to Rant About Reince Priebus: He started by threatening to fire the entire White House communications staff. It escalated from there.""not sure if this is truly real." Scaramucci said White House chief of staff Reince Priebus "is a f---ing paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac." "He reiterated that Priebus would resign soon, and he noted that he told Trump that he expected Priebus to launch a campaign against him. 'He didn't get the hint [when it was announced] that I was reporting directly to the President.'""Scaramucci also told me that, unlike other senior officials, he had no interest in media attention. 'I'm not Steve Bannon, I'm not trying to s--k my own c--k ... I'm not trying to build my own brand off the f---ing strength of the President. I'm here to serve the country.'""Yeah, let me go , though, because I've gotta start tweeting some sh-t to make this guy [the White House chief of staff] crazy."What some in the West Wing are thinking: There are interns reading this.Be smart: The President likes people with backbone. [ Correction: He likes assholes. ] And at the moment, Scaramucci is empowered: We're told the President loved the Mooch quotes. P.S. A source close to Mooc h says he thought he was off the record, and Mooch tweeted : "I made a mistake in trusting in a reporter. It won't happen again."A New Yorker spokesperson tells us: "Late in the conversation, Scaramucci requested that one part be off the record, and we respected that. The rest was on the record. Today (Thursday), Ryan and Scaramucci had another conversation and Scaramucci was clear and agreed that the conversation was on the record."
