"Id like to summarize my feelings about this in one radical feminist sculpture."

‘There is only one snowflake’: Kimmel writer hilariously mocks Trump after he blocked her on Twitter



Sunday, Kalb called out Trump for his tweets, pointing that he was very obviously trying to pivot to talk about issues instead of addressing a humiliating entrance on the global stage.

“Oh boy, honey. I’ve tried to lay off and let you be President like you said you would, but this is a new kind of simplistic rhetoric,” she tweeted. “I know you’re trying to pivot away from how embarrassing the big trip was for all of us to watch (Pushing! Pope! Saudi bowling!) but….this? Honestly, hun, this is all so far over your head. If you need to have another ‘bone spur’ and let Mike take over, no one will blame you.”

“It is mortifying, yet unsurprising to me that the leader of the free world could be so wounded by the gentle ribbing of a comedy writer,” she continued. “And if I could talk to him now I’d tell him: ‘Donald, sticks and stones may break your bones but articles of impeachment will harm you.'”

It must have hit too close to home because she was blocked shortly after. She went on to tweet out the photo of the Wall Street Bull statue with the little girl statue standing up to him. “I’d like to summarize my feelings about this in one radical feminist sculpture,” she said.

John Kelly: Any channel of communication back or otherwise with a country like Russia's a good thing

May 29, 2017

"Ryan shook his head in exasperation. "Oh, good grief," he said."

As Ryan earnestly touted his party’s work on “landmark federal IT reform legislation,” there was a grim, haunted look in his bright-blue eyes, and it wasn’t hard to imagine why. What ought to have been the salad days of Republican-led government had instead become a ceaseless, disorienting swirl of scandal, 120 days of self-inflicted chaos and crisis.

At the fifth question of the press conference—what was his view on the idea that Republicans might be better off with the vice president, Mike Pence, in the White House instead of Trump?—Ryan shook his head in exasperation. “Oh, good grief,” he said. “I’m not even going to give credence to that.”

“But your members are saying that!” the reporter said. Republican members of Congress were buzzing about this idea, openly wondering, as the presidential mess threatened to consume their careers and priorities, whether it might be possible to remove the president and move on.

Congress, Ryan insisted, was perfectly capable of doing its job. “I know people can be consumed with the news of the day,” he said, as though a potential impeachment were the latest celebrity scandal, or the time everyone was up in arms for 24 hours about avocado toast. “But we are here working on people’s problems every day. We have all these committees that do different jobs, and our job is to make sure that we still make progress for the American people, and we’re doing that. It’s just not what we’re being asked about.”

Jennifer Granholm: "In this case, the war room is because the president created the crisis."

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/former-michigan-gov-trump-is-creating-a-circular-firing-squad-and-hes-the-one-pulling-the-trigger/

Former Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D-MI) was taken aback by the idea that President Donald Trump is setting up a “war room” to navigate the Russia scandal. She told CNN’s David Gregory on “New Day” that normally such “war rooms” are for policy related issues.

“Governors have war rooms. I set up war rooms because we had a national blackout or the auto industry was going into bankruptcy,” she explained. “You have a war room for a specific crisis. In this case, the war room is because the president created the crisis. He’s not listening in the war to his generals. He is creating the problem, he’s created essentially a circular firing squad although he’s the one pulling the trigger. That is not a great way to do a staff shakeup.”

Granholm went on to encourage Trump to set up a war room to combat serious issues facing the country, such as the opioid crisis, creating jobs or navigating the global economy. She called Trump’s RussiaGate war room “a waste of human resources” focusing on himself and not the country.

Conservative commentator Ben Ferguson refuted Granholm by claiming that the “war room” doesn’t exist and that reports of one existing are fake news. The story has been widely reported based on leaks from Trump’s own allies.

5 reasons anonymous White House officials say they can't stand Jared Kushner

5 reasons anonymous White House officials say they can’t stand Jared Kushner



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/here-are-5-reasons-anonymous-white-house-officials-say-they-cant-stand-jared-kushner/

1. He whines a lot. Even though no one forced Kushner to take on a role as a top adviser to his wife’s father, sources say he regularly complains that his association with the scandal-plagued Trump White House is damaging his reputation.

2. He regularly skips town when bad news hits. Staffers tell the Times they were particularly annoyed that Kushner and First Daughter Ivanka Trump took a ski holiday back in March on the same weekend that the original version of the Republicans’ Obamacare replacement bill crashed and burned in the House.

3. His family is using his connections with Trump to hawk visas to Chinese investors. Earlier this month, it was revealed that Kushner Companies gave a presentation to wealthy Chinese investors that informed them that they could get American visas if they invested in the Kushners’ real estate projects — and they even name-checked both Jared Kushner and Trump during the presentation. Sources tell the Times that even President Trump was annoyed by this, and he’s made “snarky, disparaging comments” about Kushner’s family in recent weeks.

4. Trump gives Kushner a lot of jobs — and he takes no responsibility for doing them. Among other things, Trump has tasked Kushner with bringing peace to the Middle East, solving the opioid crisis, and reorganizing the executive branch of the United States government. In reality, however, sources tell the Times that he often avoids “messy aspects of his job that he would simply rather not do — he has told associates he wants nothing to do with the legislative process.”
