    Right, but he's also completely dishonest, unreliable and kind of insane. I can just as easily envisage Jared keeping this away from him what with them hating each other.

      They haven't kept things away from people who're completely dishonest, unreliable and insane yet. If they did that, the President wouldn't hear anything. Nor would about 70% of the cabinet. Nor pretty much any of the people who were on Team Trump in the campaign. Everyone always that Flynn and Manafort and Chris Christie and Giuiliani and KellyAnn and the rest were dishonest, unreliable and insane.

      And Bannon may be unreliable, but he's still not going to want to perjure himself.

        He’s dissolved the bogus “Voter Fraud Conmission” which means that Kobach will need to go back to screaming at the moon.

            This personal shit-slinging between recent allies seems to be unprecedented in Presidential politics, at least in modern times. Of course Trump is inherently divisive and Bannon is the spurned lover, but still, WTF?

            OTOH it only becomes a crisis if Bannon has a coherent endgame and real bullets rather than blanks.

              Bannon's a piece of shit, but Jared is a total moron. I'd be pretty confident of Bannon doing more damage to Javanka than vice versa.

                The NY Post is awful. How has it taken NY getting safer under a liberal mayor?

                  I was thinking more that there would be little to be gained from talking to bannon unless you had to. I'll put it this way, given that papadopulous and flynn have been singing like canaries, they would know if they wanted to talk to bannon, and they probably would have by now. If he didn't have that much to do with it, anything you get from him would likely just lead you down a series of blind alleys. Mueller investigating Jared's alleged role as kingpin of Dog and cockfighting in the tri-state area would have the benefit of Delaying the investigation into trump, while ruining Jared's day.

                    On the other hand, Javanka may be the only people Trump wouldn't throw under the bus.

                      I don't know about the Ja part of that.

                      meanwhile there was also this disturbing little nugget from the book.

                      In another extraordinary section, Wolff writes: “Trump liked to say that one of the things that made life worth living was getting your friends’ wives into bed.” To that end, the book claims, Trump would invite the friend to his office and engage in “more or less constant sexual banter”.

                      The book goes on to say that, with the friend’s wife on speakerphone, listening to the conversation, Trump would allegedly ask the friend: “‘Do you still like having sex with your wife? How often? You must have had a better fuck than your wife? Tell me about it. I have girls coming in from Los Angeles at three o’clock. We can go upstairs and have a great time.”

                        If Jared and Ivanka split up, Jared is truly fucked, maybe to the point of a spell in the slammer.

                          The Republican won the coin flip (actually a drawing) for the Virginia House of Delegates seat.

                            Has anyone linked the long extract in the NYMag yet? It's fucking astonishing (and simultaneously depressingly believable)

                                Even Trump's loyal, longtime body guard Keith Schiller -- for reasons darkly whispered about in the West Wing -- was out.
                                Wonder what's being hinted at here.

                                  That's a shame. And Tubby will be very upset. But it shouldn't deflect from the astonishing gains that the Democrats made.

                                    One always needs to read Wolff with a jaundiced eye.

                                    The story at the time was that Schiller was pissed that Kelly had killed his 24/7 access to the Boss and very unhappy with the 50% pay cut he had to take to serve in government.

                                      I'm disappointed indeed. But it's got a lot of coverage, and the gerrymandering shows through.

                                          No mention of gerrymandering on BBC piece on Virginia.

                                              Some Freedom Caucus folk want him to resign because he's too weak on the Justice Department.

                                                This Reifer Madness stuff doesn't play as well as it used to, right?

                                                Even with the base. Do working class white rust belters care about it?

                                                    Is the implication that the folks smoking the reefers are dark-skinned? I don't think white Trumpites would GAF about other whites smoking it among themselves, but throw in race and suddenly...
