Major Nelson had a GAF account?
I'm almost afraid to ask but, how did that turn out?
Bannon got alot of his inspiration for the alt-right from running a WoW gold farming business...

Trump didn't like that Priebus didn't 'return fire' at Scaramucci.

I'm not overly political but this stuff really is better then any HBO/Netflix show on earth...combined, and it happens on a daily basis. Trump really is the King of ratings.

But he has achieved momentous TV ratings. Far greater than the failing Apprentice had.
So, by Trump's measure of achievement, his presidency has been a home run sensation.
He's the talk of the water cooler. Everyone is always talking about him.
I'm not sure it was that so much as they had a truce, both were anti-Mooch and Bannon was hiding out in Priebus' office hoping nobody would notice him after losing his besty Miller to the Kush.
Yep. We are "lead" by an idiot who thought being the President would be like his reality show. That's where we're at.
And his "party" lets it happen.

I was just thinking about this yesterday, we'll have massive withdrawal symptoms once the Trump era is over and we are not treated to our daily dose of Russian conspiracies, infighting, inappropriate behaviour, leaks, firings, hirings, lies and exaggerations.
We'll look fondly back to the time when a single day away from the internet might have cost you the press secretary calling the chief strategist a cocksucker and the chief of staff a paranoid schizophrenic, the chief of staff getting fired by a tweet from the same plane, and the press secretary getting divorced.

Baffled by the Kelly pick, but on some level it makes sense. Priebus should have been a very successful CoS. Like Rahm and many other early CoS picks, he had establishment/financial ties that should have resulted in a very focused string of legislative goals: a mixture of big shit and little wins. Trump could have easily had a historic first 100 days, and first year, at which point point Priebus would resign in January or February of next year and start raising money.
Instead they fucked everything up. Trump didn't respect or trust Priebus, didn't achieve anything, and isn't interested in criticism. Surrounding himself with a former general seems like a typical Trump move on one hand (loyalty, dictator shit). On the other, I don't see how Kelly does anything to get Trump some wins. I don't see how he fosters a better environment or works better with Washington.

Is there any chance Kelly took the job to curtail and keep an eye on Trump so he does the least damage? Country over party. It must be crazy to do it otherwise unless he has some bad views himself, even then he must know Trump is screwed eventually. Can he really climb up the ladder post Trump doing this job ?
The strength and weakness of the GOP is the 'fall in line' mentality. It's become a purity test for their party so they can't break it unless they're willing to throw away any chance of being reelected. Trump is their leader, and no matter how insane he is, they have to fall in line because they don't care about the country or even their party. They care about keeping their job. That's it.

That's a dangerous assumption.
I'm guessing he's laying low. He stinks of Putin too.
He probably didn't think he was doing anything on air that he wouldn't behind doors. His whole life has been a performance, everything is a game to him.

The only thing I like about Trump is that he doesn't seem to take the weekend off, drama unfolds 24/7.
We can send Trump to the Upside Down any time now.

Was he fired or resigned? Fox has it as resigned.
The official word from both sides is he resigned and it's been in the works for awhile.
Well...he takes the weekend off from his job...just not the tweeting.
I could be mistaken, but I believe this Priebus replacement news is not the oppo droppo that was hinted at earlier.

I'm a bit annoyed tha Priebus didn't get on tv and call him a coked out divorcée, too.
He does Golf alot as you might remember. But there is always a bombshell and someone else fucking up in between.

I have a source that says big news is coming that will cause some to pivot. That could describe any week in the Trump Presidency. He's not exactly going out on a limb with that post.

Easy to do when 90% of your "work schedule" is watching fox news.
Like I said Stinkles could "prove" it by giving us an encrypted zip with a ext file that contains the oppodroppo. Then give us the key to decrypt it after it actually happens. Come on stink, work with us here

That kind of head in the sand bullshit is part of why this knucklehead is president.
The Republicans have already been doing that since the Trump admin began, just as a precaution. They know what he's capable of. They have a year-long rotating schedule set up where there's always a junior member around DC during recess.

That post doesn't say anything about not voting or not participating in the political process. I don't see anything wrong with tuning out the latest Trumpworld drama or avoiding excessive worry about things you can't control if you're already doing what you can to change the situation.
Side-note, although I live for the juicy content inside, the words "oppo droppo" are just aurally unpleasant to me.
Like, I can't wait to hear about the insider info Stinkles has, & we gotta be expecting more now that this dipshit thinks firing people for not being obnoxious enough won't lead to them & everyone else getting more ruthless with what they share during meetings with the press, but those 2 words back-to-back... They just sound wrong.
Is it too late to find a new term? Oppo Droppo is definitely a name I would make fun of if it was used for something harmful/that the Alt-Reich use.

Only on neogaf can you get insider info on blockbuster video games and the games in Washington politics from the same person.
