      Republicans are deliberately doing meetings instead of e-mails. E-mails leave a digital trail and their contents can be used against you, while things said at a meeting leave no evidence.

        A meeting with All The People instead of leaving an email out there. From the 100% OpSec Signal drunk.

        Incompetent embarrassment on top of incompetent embarrassment.

          I for one count myself and the world lucky that the Trump administration is so incompetent. More incompetence, please.

    I really hope this pushes a lot of senior leadership over the edge. I’m sure there are a good number who were doing the “this is fine” routine up to now, but this should remove all doubt that they are dealing with a child. I hope he strikes the most combative, patronizing tone possible.

        Yeah, piss off all the leaders of your military and expect them to all just collectively quietly fade away, that does sound like the kind of political strategy a complete idiot who has read no history would pursue

          There may be flaws to the plan. As a management style it tends to increase short term profits, which is why they do it. Of course it also tends to destroy the company, but the wealthy never worry about that.

      They retire with a golden parachute and the king will replace them with his own minions.

      I was thinking the same thing. I’ve been disappointed over and over again this year, but I still have some hope that something’s gonna give.

    Figured in all likelihood this was either going to be something fucking disastrous or the most asinine bullshit possible. Nothing in the middle, just either “fuck it, civil war time” or whiskeyleaks found the ‘call the banners’ button and just could not fucking contain himself.

    Hopefully it does indeed prove to be the latter, like it sounds to be.

    Edit - also love that they picked the most b list supervillain photo possible for him
