I would think Trump would have great difficulty finding anyone outside of his inner circle to take the job. He might actually realize that Jared is not competent enough for the job, but no one better will take it. You have to figure the odds of the CoS getting indicted are pretty high, and it's almost certain legal fees will be significant regardless.

Really. No sane person would touch that job.

I would imagine that Jared would hardly ever show up to work, and when he did that he will be less useless then a turnstile. Certainly Trump wants to control the door for his reality show. Probably install cameras to push out all the action, either as a subscription service, or on the new Fox lie spewer.

Maybe Flynn ends up in jail anyway, needing that pardon.

LOL - some of the facts about the inquiry into the inaugural committee is the funds spent on rooms at the Trump international hotel. Ivankna negotiated the rates, and there is an email from an event planner expressing concerns about the extremely high rates demanded 'when this gets audited'. So another case of Trump paying Trump and not being able to resist gouging.

Its really the family business since Fred set up the intermediary business to buy all the furnishings, etc. for properties, then the family skimmed profit from the family owned middle business and as justification for higher prices at the sale (Trump Tower, etc. continued this practice).

The little bit extra is if there is any pay to play to gain access to dear old dad.

Mick Mulvaney named acting COS. Not sure what that means.

I think it means that he needs more time to find someone dumb enough to take the job.

Mulvaney might have literally been picked because he was at the White House today

I would do it, then take a sweet job on Fox News and use it to may off my student loans, then quit that gig and become a lobbyist for the fossil fuel industry. You know, go full evil, and then retire early to Vietnam and eat pho every day.

He's keeping his title as OMB Director because Trump has apparently run out of people willing to work for him

He will no longer do the job of OMB Director, but keeps the title in case he wants/needs to go back without another round of Senate confirmation

A Federal Judge in Texas has declared the entire ACA unconstitutional. His reasoning is that without the individual mandate the law is compromised.

So cancel your insurance, show up at the ER, and let those of us with insurance pay the freight like the good old days. I'll wonder why my insurance climbs by double digits annually and you keep the free care.
