It's official. There has never been a POTUS as --vile-- unpopular as Trump. Sad! Trump cont.

Is a dingleberry what we used to call Sticky Willy?

In this context, Cozie, I think it's a nodule of insufficiently wiped shit clinging to one's arse-pubes.

A market view from CNN Money.

The markets and Trump

You'll note how often he refers to,market strength in his tweets. In his own mind - and that of many of his supporters - he's clearly the consummate businessman and financier. He seems to regard Wall Street as an independent and impartial arbiter of his administration's performance.

The markets are edgy though.

Anne Frank Centre:

We cheer stunning statement by @MittRomney: @POTUS "caused racists to rejoice, minorities to weep, and the vast heart of America to mourn."

Bloody Nigel Farage:

Very sorry to see my friend Steve Bannon go. His political brain will be hard to replace.

I've got a pot of jelly in the fridge that'll do the trick t.co/sChaJYy2mS

Haha that was Owen Jones!

George Takei:

It is a delicious irony that the white supremacist rally has led to the ouster of the most visible white supremacist from the White House.

Sorry, am on a bit of a roll with all my joyful tweets tonight! Been a long time since there's been any good news...

Has there been any news of that second ousting?

From the reporter who wrote a book about Trump and Bannon.

Just got off the phone w/ Bannon: "If there’s any confusion out there, let me clear it up: I’m leaving the White House and going to war" 1/2

"...for Trump against his opponents -- on Capitol Hill, in the media, and in corporate America.” 2/2

Mercer and Murdoch support will be crucial then.

It's war! This will be interesting....

Well. We'll have to see who the 'enemy' is, eh?

Benjamin Wittes is hinting tick- tick- tick- again.

WH staffers say Monday polls are bad apparently.

We will see....

I'm literally dancing round my living room tonight! Of course it could all go to shit again tomorrow, but gotta take these small victories when you can....

Ding dong indeed!!!!

Whose polls?

Wittes' tweets are fascinating.

.@realDonaldTrump Congrats on removing your first monument to racism!

Prickly has the definition of dingleberry right, Cozie.

I'm wondering if Bannon is being 'scapegoated' by Scrotus;

"My numbers are down. People are mad at me. This can't be my fault. They hate me because they think I like White Supremacists. Whose fault is this, really? Got it!! Bannon IS a WH! It's Bannon's fault. Bannon, you're FIRED!"

I'm wondering if something mueller-related has spooked him and he's jumping ship to disassociate

You should delurk more often, Brexistential.

In fact I would love it if more of our lurkers dipped a toe in from time to time. When we are all in the doldrums persisting it's good to know there are lots of us out there.

Re: dingleberries, I thought it was Aussie slang for the claggy bits of poo that cling to sheep's fleece around their arses. Or maybe that's the origin of 'daggy'. Saffron - can you help?

Like others, this is the first place I check to see if there have been developments & then head off to the mainstream media to fill out the detail.

Yes, to Wittes. He likes cannons.

I don't know which polls, though.

I am tipsy, holed up in a rural hotel & DH has already nodded off - wine addled. MN is where it's at for me tonight. Don't let me down guys.
