they think Carson, after speaking with him and reading his statements, will be better than someone else who might gut the department. i think they might be right on this one.

no idea on Sessions, deference to a colleague I guess. THIS is the one that pisses me off.

Read a fun conspiracy theory this morning that Trump has dementia and will likely resign in like a month or two under the facade of just finding out he's at risk for Alzheimer's.

But then again, we all thought the campaign was an internal train wreck too so there's really no reason to see this ending well. Besides, most of the horrible stuff Trump is doing is stuff Republicans want to do anyway. Indeed, at least one of the leak things I came across indicated that Trump really doesn't care about some of the social stuff (I mean, Trump is better than Pence on LGBTQ and probably even abortion) so....

On the other hand, Trump is popular with the Republican base, and I'd guess especially with the low information "independent leaning Republican" voters so disloyalty on the the part of Republican members of Congress may be a problem for them.

I just don't know anything anymore.

what twitter leak things?

there was an account purporting to be leaking stuff from inside the white house. it got taken down last night but seems to back up? https://twitter.com/whitehouseleaks

the new account thinks it was a mistake to tweet at the president and took down the original

Good for Peña Nieto. Trump doesn't understand that international diplomacy is not like commercial real estate transactions with developers whose entire project is based on using Trump's name or contractors who can't afford to walk away from dealing with him.

love that trumps policy towards trade deals is bully the other country until they give you everything you want.

in a few months we wont be able to trade with anyone, which will be cool.

"If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting," Trump tweeted.
