Reminds me of Hunger Games.

Never seen the movie(s) nor read the book(s) - are they good?

Looks like Scaramucci managed to ruin his entire life within 10 days. I've not witnessed anything like that ever. And the way he did it he must have been flying high on a drug we don't know, 'cause he obviously has no one else to blame for it - and nobody can be so dumb and careless when sober? Is there something in the air at white-house? They should check the technical installations there.

Apparently he wrote a book "Hopping over the Rabbit Hole: How Entrepreneurs Turn Failure into Success", he better rereads it now.

probably fed LSD!

Lost his job, wife and missed the birth of his child; no rational explanation!

"I'm just microdosing, I swear."

And sold his business to allow him to take up the role, all thanks to the most lethal drug known to mankind.... Power.

No problem, he'll get another job, wife and child...

Wait for his next books:
Fear and loathing in DC
or
The Yes Men Fix the Whithouse

North Korea: US not seeking regime change, says Rex Tillerson (trying to mop up after Trump?)

"Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said that Mr Trump told him that there would be a military conflict between the two countries if Pyongyang continued with its aim to develop a missile programme with the US in its range... Mr Graham added: "If there's going to be a war... it will be over there. If thousands die, they're going to die over there. They're not going to die here. And he [Trump] has told me that to my face.""

9 terrifying things Donald Trump has publicly said about nuclear weapons

Trump is a scary clown. Who will he do next? Start a war to distract from domestic problems? He says he can handle North Korea but he can't even handle the White House. The NK regime must see this and must be watching everything he says and tweets. What if they overreact?

CNN was interviewing an academic last night (article) who had correctly predicted Trump's win, and many other presidential wins, and who is also predicting that Trump will be impeached, but perhaps not for a long while yet. He said that the Republican party was unlikely to go for that until it felt that its survival was at stake. God knows what Trump might do in the meantime.

This was also covered by CNN on Monday, happening just before the press conference announcing the latest shake-up in the White House:
Trump awards Medal of Honor to Army medic 48 years later
What a stark contrast. Someone who had shown extreme bravery having to stand and listen to and then receive a medal from someone whose college attendance and "temporary bad feet" meant that he was not drafted. And 48 years later? Why did they wait so long and why on that day? Perhaps the award ceremony was mainly an attempt to distract from the chaos in the White House.

Now apparently confirmed by the White House!

Meanwhile Trump's lawyer demonstrates he has even less respect for the truth than his Master!

So now we know how much credibility to give future statements by Sekulow about Trump.?

"then Trump personally decided to have the statement say Trump Jr. had met with the lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, to discuss adoption of Russian children by people in the US"

Trump also said that his extended chat with Vladimir Putin at that dinner had been about that subject.

"If that seems a strange topic for a post-meal chat it helps to understand that, when it comes to US-Russia relations, a conversation about adoption isn't really about adoption. It's about sanctions."
Why did Putin talk to Trump about 'adoption'?

Wonder if Trump has signed that sanctions bill yet.

Trump did sign the Bill which not only increases Russian sanctions but severely limits Trump's ability to remove/reduce the sanction.
Not that Trump had much choice; the House overwhelmingly backed the bill, 419-3, and the Senate rapidly followed their lead on a 98-2 vote. Those overwhelming margins guaranteed that Congress would be able to veto any attempt by Trump to reject the measure.
Astonishing display of lack of trust in their own President

is that a handshake? Or does Trump want to kiss Putin's hand?

To be honest, I studied that strange gesture too when I first saw the photo.

but this one tops them

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video...-lady-48486103

It's very much an alpha domination thing. I work with people who get massively p*ssed off if someone does what Putin did (i.e. turn hands so you are on top / dominant), i've seen stand up arguments because of it.

It's a power-play, and surprise, surprise, Putin came out top again.

I don't see a problem with this. Or is it just an old (dead) European tradition to always greet the lady first and then the gentleman?

yes i agree. the joke was on trump

Edit; - also Trump telling the Senate not to do anything else now other than healthcare has been totally ignored
