There is no White House, really. Not in the sense that the term had been defined. It's just Trump



There is no White House, really. Not in the sense that the term had been defined. It's just Trump— and people who work in the building. Journalists keep using the words, but their own reporting shows there's no clear referent for them. https://www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-sneak-peek-f78d890b-7cd7-4e06-afe7-0bda568d6e9e.html … The metonomy broke.

There is no cognitive logic to this administration. It's all reactionary and emotional.

Trump is an idiot.

They have the power to do something., but they don’t. They are quitting in droves though. Chickens. Spineless cowards. Traitors.

The lights are on in the White House but no one's home, only the Mobster-in-Chief, planning another day of chaos and confusion. And even that's turning out to be less entertaining than he thought.

Time for this grim charade to end! Like yesterday.

Lull everyone into a false state of....no, that can't be it. No one with at least half a brain feels no security at all, just panic.

Pull out aversion of Agent Orange that's actually intelligent, reasoned and well spoken who will spring all kinds of suprises in policy and strategy that will catch everyone off-guard. Seems a tad unlikely.

Apart from many other reasons, of course.

She was an economist, political scientist and a policy adviser to the Canadian govt....and one of the most astute political observers I ever met. She called the Reagan playbook and predicted the various twists and turns to the eventual outcome. Masters from Oxford on 100% scholarship.

This shitstorm might nonplus even her....but I wish I could hear for myself.

Man, do I miss her.
