Guess who this quote is about.
"His consumption of people was as great as his contempt for them. He was forever demoting, rebuking, or elevating, juggling people and positions -- this habit, in fact was one of the secrets of his success"

McMaster Out; Bolton In -- Trump's Chaos Continues
I can hear the whackos on the right orgasming at the thought of the warmonger Bolton (yeah, that guy, the one who cheered us into the war in Iraq) replacing General McMaster
President Chaos continues to wreak havoc on the country we love -- the country he detests.
During the campaign, Trump attacked Hillary because she supported the war in Iraq, and now he's hired a military hawk who got us into that war? WTF?
Bolton has advocated for war with Iran. And Trump just hired him to replace McMaster.
From the American Conservative:
The Untold Story of John Bolton’s Campaign for War With Iran
Everyone knows Bolton is a hawk. Less understood is how he labored in secret to drive Washington and Tehran apart.
So many things to grok
20,000 Republicans just voted for an actual Nazi
Illinois Republicans nominated Arthur Jones for a U.S. House seat.
Drug Distributors Shipped 20.8 Million Painkillers To West Virginia Town Of 3,000

BEST!
Things to laugh about:
Forget Mexico, Trump Can’t Even Get Congress To Pay For His Wall
Spending plan for the rest of this budget year doesn’t include any money for Trump’s biggest campaign promise.
UPDATE: 4 defense attorneys at different large law firms have been approached to join Trump's legal defense team in recent weeks. All 4 turned him down.

Good-bye Dear Friend
We've lost a great poet, teacher, and friend.
Lucie-Brock-Broido
You Have Harnessed Yourself Ridiculously to This World
Tell the truth I told me When I couldn’t speak.
Sorrow’s a barbaric art, crude as a Viking ship Or a child
Who rode a spotted pony to the lake away from summer
In the 1930s Toward the iron lung of polio.
According to the census I am unmarried And unchurched.
The woman in the field dressed only in the sun.
Too far gone to halt the Arctic Cap’s catastrophe, big beautiful
Blubbery white bears each clinging to his one last hunk of ice.
I am obliged, now, to refrain from dying, for as long as it is possible.
For whom left am I first?
We have come to terms with our Self
Like a marmoset getting out of her Great Ape suit.

Cheaters and the cheating cheaters who support them -- The Current GOP
The far right Goopers dislike John McCain and they favor the man who disregarded his own national security advisors and actually congratulated Vladimir Putin who is a dictator, a man who rigged the elections, and a man who poisons and murders his oppostion.
The far right bloggers -- you know, the ones who call themselves the REAL Americans -- favor Trump over McCain.
You remember John McCain, right? He's the man who was a POW, who was tortured for five and a half years while Cadet Bone Spurs was bragging about getting so much p***y that he feard getting a STD -- "his own Vietnam," in his words. That's the guy who represents the Republican Party and that's the guy who is currently disgracing America.
An American president does not lead the Free World by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections. And by doing so with Vladimir Putin, President Trump insulted every Russian citizen who was denied the right to vote in a free and fair election. mccain.senate.gov/public/index.c…
****************************
"DO NOT CONGRATULATE" Putin
And yet the American "president" did .
*****************************
Is there anyone, except the self-deceivers on the far right, who doubts that Trump and the current GOP won the 2016 election by cheating and through Russian interference?
The current GOP is more like a Mafia gang than a political party, and its Don is destroying America and all she's represents in the world.

"The Secret of Trump's Success is Cheating"
UPDATE BELOW
Go read this by Michele Goldberg in the New York Times:
"Cambridge Analytica, the shadowy data firm that helped elect Donald Trump, specializes in “psychographic” profiling, which it sells as a sophisticated way to digitally manipulate huge numbers of people on behalf of its clients. But apparently, when you’re trying to win a campaign, prostitutes, bribes and spies work pretty well too. [...]
Cambridge Analytica shared office space with Trump’s San Antonio-based digital operation, and took substantial credit for its success. “We are thrilled that our revolutionary approach to data-driven communications played such an integral part in President-elect Donald Trump’s extraordinary win,” Nix said in a Nov. 9, 2016, news release.
With each day, we learn about more corruption, cheating. lying, venality, hypocrisy, coercion, thuggery, sordidness, debauchery, degrading, degenerate, and squalid behavior by the POTUS. Yet the people who pretend to be the keepers of America's values and morality say nothing, do nothing, and continue to support this American disgrace.
Eugene Robinson of the WaPo:
"It’s not your imagination. Donald Trump’s occupancy of the White House is every bit as insane, corrupt and dangerous as you might fear. [...]
If Trump does try to fire Mueller, House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) should get much of the blame. They have given Trump no reason to believe they will ever stand up to him.
Fortunately, the Constitution gives ultimate power to you and me. With every outrageous, shocking and depressing week, the November election becomes more important. The Trump presidency will keep going from bad to worse, and it is our responsibility to use our votes to make it stop."
UPDATE:
Whistleblower: We tested Trump slogans in 2014

INTERESTING, isn't it? We've read how #45 met with the Russians in 2013 during the Miss Universe pageant :
2013 June 18: Trump writes on Twitter: “The Miss Universe Pageant will be broadcast live from MOSCOW, RUSSIA on November 9th. A big deal that will bring our countries together!”
Trump, who owned the pageant at the time, adds later that day: “Do you think Putin will be going to The Miss Universe Pageant in November in Moscow - if so, will he become my new best friend?”
July: Russia’s Internet Research Agency LLC, which, according to the Justice Department “is a Russian organization engaged in political and electoral interference operations,” registers with the Russian government as a corporate entity.
Oct. 17: Trump says in an interview with David Letterman he has conducted “a lot of business with the Russians.”
“Well I’ve done a lot of business with the Russians,” Trump says. “They’re smart and they’re tough.”
Trump goes on to say that Putin is a “tough guy” and that he’s met him “once.”

While the Goopers celebrate McCabe's firing...
Lord Dampnut took several "victory laps" maligning Andrew McCabe this weekend after the controversial firing. Meanwhile, as #45 and the Goopers celebrate their Pyrrhic victory, very good things are happening for the Democrats.
I'm quite pleased that #45 and his lackeys are not paying attention to this:
NBC News/WSJ poll:
•Dems +12 with independents in 2018
•Voters 65+ prefer Dems by +11
•Women are +23 Dem
•18-34 are +30 Dem
•Dems get whites with college degree +13
•59% of GOPers say they’re loyal to Trump, not Republican Party. 36% loyal to GOP

TRUMP HAS HIS REVENGE -- FOR NOW...
But McCabe may get the last Huzzah!
BREAKING: AP learns fired FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe maintained personal memos regarding President Donald Trump.
Question:
What is the definition of a small-minded, mean, ungenerous, shabby, spiteful and petty little worm?
Answer: TRUMP?
DING! DING! DING! We have a winnah!
Trump celebrates firing of McCabe and denying him his pension with late night tweet calling it a ‘great day’
Donald Trump celebrated the firing of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe just after midnight, hopping on Twitter and calling it a “great day.” Late Friday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe at the last minute, which in effect will deny the 21-year veteran of the FBI his pension after years of service to the country.
McCabe:
“I firmly believe that this is an ongoing effort to undermine my credibility because of the work that I did on the Russia case, because of the investigations that I oversaw and impacted that target this administration,” Andrew McCabe said.
Here is McCabe's statement to the Swine-in-Chief's petty form of revenge.
Tweet from Republican Pundit, Rick Wilson:
If you aren't seeing the echoes of 1974, you're not paying attention.
Don't worry about McCabe's pension. He's going to make more off his book deal than his pension.
And he's liberated to speak the truth.
Tweets from Republicans Steve Schmidt and Nicolle Wallace (There ARE sane and honorable Republicans in this country. None of them, however, are Trump supporters.):
Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidt
This American citizen demands to know the precise evidence that led to the termination of a 21 year FBI senior leader with a reputation for probity and rectitude two days before his reaching pension eligibility. Disgraceful. This is an abuse of power and pure bananarepublicanism
Nicolle Wallace Nicolle Wallace @NicolleDWallace ·
The fix was in from Donald Trump when he tweeted 90 days ago his threat about McCabe’s pension. This is a complete disgrace. Sure to exacerbate concerns among “the generals” about his conduct in office
When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history. You may scapegoat Andy McCabe, but you will not destroy America...America will triumph over you.
