an object was seen hurtling to the earth, followed by a loud thud. Mountain rescue teams have been dispatched to the area to recover whatever it was/is. 😳

trump without his sitter? this is gonna be real good! i saw video of Kelly after the towel fiasco and he did not like what was happening-you could feel it. i know he's military and always looks like he needs to take a dump, but his demeanor was clear. he hates two scoops. he's next on the block, i'd bet.

if his final motive in all of this, is that he(trump) wants to be supreme ruler/dic....tator and not have anyone around him except his dysfunctional family???? I know it wouldn't be realistic.

Hopefully he's not that delusional to think he could pull it off.

That said, his actions of playing only to his base regardless of the circumstances coupled with his denigrating government in general while kissing up to the cops and his militaristic rhetoric could be seen as creating the climate for a "deplorables" insurrection should Congress come after him.

Whether the story is true or not somebody leaked it to the press. Either way is bad. Maybe Kelly is getting fired for not getting control of the leaking or maybe he's supposed to go back and kick some ass.

The leak about Tillerson's "moron" remark: Who leaked it? Was it Tillerson himself, trying to retrieve a little lost dignity? Was it someone else with an ax to grind against Tillerson? Both are true? Neither is true? Someone who was telling a reporter about something else entirely who just dropped the "moron" tidbit into the conversation?

Yesterday's sleeper was that Kelly was keeping Dana Rohrbacher away from Trump. So Trump is either going to meet Rohrbacher in Vegas, or fire Kelly then meet with Rohrbacher.

Various cabinet members might be ready to assert his incapacity.

I think we need to find a few more in the cabinet to get pissed at DOTUS. McConnell's wife is a suck-up, but she might be ready.
