drumpf's extreme vetting:

prospective immigrant: "Sorry, what was the quest--"
INS agent: /gunshot

CPAC is having Paul LePage speak on Friday about welfare reform. Wonder if he'll bring his binder?

To warn us of the dangers of D-MONEY, SMOOTHIE, and SHIFTY

Sorry but this made me laugh:

"Whether with Afghanistan or the fight against ISIS, McMaster has his work cut out for him, but he is the best man for the job and credit should go to President Trump for making this inspired choice."

That was from an opinion piece on CNN by Peter Bergen. I think what Mr. Bergen meant was that we should give Trump credit for FINALLY getting the choice correct. I mean, it only took him four tries.

First active duty NSC since Collin Powell. Everything points to him being a good choice. I do wonder if he could have declined given his duty status.

turns out he's actually a Roxborough boy. He probably knows me!

So US DID press extradition for Firtash today (yay Sessions?) and Austria granted it - but as Firtash left court, Spanish dicks served him for some kind of dirty doings in Barcelona. Not clear if that jams things back up

Spicer is reading and he is killing it, by which I mean murder. You'd think he would practice, or at least read it once before it is in his hands. What is Spicer's first language?

it's brutal. Reads like he's reciting a kidnapper's note - & he's the kidnapee

Spicy could not find an iron anywhere in the WH?

Since we talked about Obama's brown suit that one time I do want to give Trump credit for wearing more slimming, no tie, modern suits lately, and not the fat ass and enormous gut accentuating, long tie, desperate insurance salesman crap he's been wearing for months. I think we'll all agree sartorialism is incredibly important.

He sort of calms down as he goes, at least in using complete English words, but then he goes full 'Will It Bled' Blentec mode in mincing and pureeing the language with those words he manages to string together. 50% is WTF, 15% is blaming Obama, 25% is praising Trump, leaving 10% for answering questions clearly. I feel like it is the Monkey chasing the Weasel in these.

Since they beat down his wardrobe on almost every late night outlet, he had to. I mean KAC was beating him in the style category.

Eh, that's been his MO nearly since he started with the Trump campaign. He's had a number of hostage video moments.

That's almost too good. The part where he talks about uranium is perfect.
