I am simply to the point that I cannot watch his live broadcasts.  I took a very long hot bath while he blathered on.  I didn't hear him and slept well last night.  It's much easier on me to read the recaps in the morning.  I am totally in agreement with all the pundits that he is mentally ill.  I don't care what you call it, he's nuts.

Another day, another letter of resignation. This one, apparently, spells out IMPEACH.

I can't wait for the resignation letter(s) that spell Y-O-M-O-M-M-A.

...speaking of announcements that may as well say "Yo Mama", this is, er, interesting, to say the least.

This clusterf*ck of an administration gets more surreal by the day.  At this point, I don't quite get the people resigning in outrage.  He's been awful from the start. Are they just figuring it out? Why did they take the job? I can see people who are there to do what little they can to protect the nation from Trump, but otherwise, what took you so long?

Many of these people are/were holdovers from the Obama administration or previous presidential administrations.  

I know for sure that Kal Penn was appointed by the Obama administration.

 

It's like in the State Department and the Justice Department, many of the staff are career civil servants who have been there for decades spanning multiple administrations, of both political parties.

Those are the people I understand trying to hold out to protect their agencies. I guess Charlottesville was a breaking point for some people.

Yet another Russian diplomat found dead. I think this the ninth one this year.

That's not AT ALL suspicious. Look, SQUIRREL!

You know Trump wants to do that himself 

The WH's New Look (in Pictures)...

 

...and Trump (allegedly) chose the wallpaper himself.

 

(I say "allegedly," b/c you KNOW that s.o.b. really wanted all the walls to be gold-leafed.)

 

More photos

 

According to the second article, because Trump is "personally" designing a new area rug for the Oval Office, the office's decor might change AGAIN.  (Can you say "government waste"?)

The Sudanese government claims there was no foul play. Er, uhm...yeah, right.

This, after Mother Jones a previous article asking if anybody was home at HUD.

That's a sad, sobering read. The saddest part is seeing people who want to help leaving due to being completely marginalized. No wonder people don't care about going into government.
