They'd usually do nothing, except now they are under growing pressure, including from within GOP rank and file and big business. They'll have no choice, just as he did today.

 

The exits from the council have turned into a trend, despite the fear from some. Now all eyes are on who's next - the pressure is bigger from the public outraged about Charlottesville than from Trump's base. There will be more, and soon. Like I keep saying: These tipping points mean something. They did in January and they've continued all along. He has never recovered. While it's awful for the country, it also just keeps getting worse for him. We have to keep the pressure on. He is not George W. Bush. He is falling apart.

 

Meanwhile:

So I don't know when these folks left. Maybe before today. Mark Fields of Ford, Klaus Kleinfeld, Arconic, and Mario Longhi, US Steel are no longer on the council

You got me. When the political knife is at their throats they'll give half hearted condemnations (three days after the fact) that no one with a brain cell believes they mean.

 

Edited to say: I wasn't insulting your intelligence Vee. I know you don't believe 45 means it.

Ryan Leaf's ghostwritten apology for accosting that journalist in the locker room was more sincere than the drivel Trump was forced (under duress, apparently) to deliver today.  And that's considering the fact that Leaf literally crumpled up HIS statement when he finished reading it and tossed it over his shoulder into his locker.

It's nice to know we have SUCH a mature man running this country.

 

But seriously.  First, we had the video of someone with "CNN" superimposed over his face being body-slammed WWE-style.  Now, this.

 

This is like placing a target on the back of every man and woman who works for CNN.  An open invitation, if you will, for kooks out there to take 'em out on sight.  If I were Jeff Zucker, I'd get security detail for all my network's on-air personalities pronto.

 

Oh, and by the way, Donald?  We still haven't forgotten about Russia.

He deleted it after taking heat, but still.

 

Anyone who knows me knows how beyond sick of Jimmy Fallon I am (to say nothing of his enabling Trump last year), but this was a surprisingly decent statement from him during his show:

A reminder from Trump's former biographer:

notice how he blasted the black CEO from stepping down but hasn't said word one about the white CEOs doing the same thing.

Yeah, that's why I used the word "dubious" because on the one hand, Trump's arm is clearly being twisted- as it was while he was stumbling through the message he read off the teleprompter yesterday but he's obviously caught between who is really is (a neofascist, rascist) and the part of him that wants to be seen as a statesman capable of actual governing (which was never a realistic possibility, tbh).  

As a result, there is an internal divide between the Nazi/white supremacists in his administration (who more closely align with his own beliefs) and the garden variety conservatives (who are trying to make him somewhat presidential, at least outwardly).

Oh it's been noticed.
