Didn't fucking Fence say that "all the families really want to help out" or some bullshit to that effect? Like it's a fucking branding party or something. Keep the families away, they didn't suddenly become pros at running a country. Where are the (non-related) adults?

No, not fucking baby, fuck, *then* baby.

And I realized, just today, how complementary Trump and Pence are: Benito Trumpolini, and Franciso Pence-o.

Great. And remember, boys and girls, that Franco had a document from the then-Pope that he was a "good Christian ruler".

I wonder out loud if any veterans of a specific graduating class, so to speak, would want to bring a nuisance lawsuit against the Republicans in the House, on the basis that they were formerly excluded from serving in any administration due to those apparently arbitrary and malleable 10-year exclusionary periods that have been around since that oh-so recent 1947?

I'd not support that. I think there is a very good reason to have civilian command of the military and wouldn't want to weaken it in any way. Especially for this administration.

Franco American? Spaghetti-O's libelz...

Having civilian control of the the military isn't arbitrary and only a bit malleable (has to be passed by both houses of Congress, hence this work around)

It is frankly a pretty good idea and wouldn't want to see it weakened, especially for this administration.

Speaking for myself the whole thing makes me intensely depressed. The slack jawed lacks wits aren't going to come around until the house they live in is on fire.

Worse, we didn't even get to see a video of Donald yelling, "You're fired!" at Mikey Junior. It's bad enough that we have to watch our government turned into a reality show, but they're not even showing the good parts. Double fail.

The most infuriating thing about Mike Pence is he just ignores over issues he doesn't want to talk about.

This is good stuff but this should be EVERY journalist EVERY time.

We need to create a Trump tax on billionaires to pay for his extra security.
