Interestingly even Breitbart doesn't seem to think Priebus is very safe right now (yes, I check their twitter feed occasionally and it is as grim as you would expect)

A question: when in relation to Breitbart, "sources close to the President" are still "leaks", or is that "official position"?
Do they mean Dark Emperor Bannontine?

BiglyBadgers · 14/02/2017 15:31

Do they mean Dark Emperor Bannontine?

I kind of assume that anything written in Breitbart has Bannon all over it. So if they say Priebus is looking shaky it is because Bannon wants everyone to know it.

I found all the Trumpettes on twitter. They are busy swooning over Joy Villas' pro-trump dress

Because voter fraud is bad when it's dead people, but we're not so worried about actual hacking...

House Republicans just voted to defund the agency that fights election hacking

Trump's White House is almost like a Royal Court, with each of the courtiers jostling for the ear of the King while trying to push out their rivals.

Royal Court... yes, with him as Henry VIII (the later years).

BiglyBadgers · 14/02/2017 15:56

I had thought of the Royal Court when looking at those photos of him in Mar-a-lago conducting government discussions in a paid for club with everyone standing around watching. I think that's just how he likes to think of it as well.

Yes, soon. Grin

In a way, this is good. That they're all jostling for position means there is major dissention in the ranks. The journalists can exploit that.

merrymouse · 14/02/2017 16:16

The real story here is why are there so many illegal leaks coming out of Washington?

Because high ranking security staff are genuinely alarmed that you appeared to be doing nothing about Flynn?

Speaker Ryan just said that the President ASKED for Flynn's resignation. This is not what the White House has been saying.

So, which one is it? Did he ask or not? Is it a Muslim ban or not? Are there 3 million "illegals" that voted or not? Etc "alternative facts"

I'm wondering whether the UK administration might get Charles to go across to DC and host a dinner in the UK embassy? Paint it as a 'homage to his grandparents' visit' - that sort of thing.
