The Main Problem With The Process

The White House has tremendous energy, it has tremendous spirit. It is a great place to be working. Many, many people want every single job. Believe me, everybody wants to work in the White House. They all want a piece of that Oval Office, they all want a piece of the west wing. So many people want to come in. I have a choice of anybody.

Yes, The Big Orange Guy has his choice of anybody, yet he has picked some of the most grotesquely incompetent and venal monsters imaginable. The record cannot be more perfectly clear on the issue.

That leads us  to the current media hot topic. Thanks to Gary Cohn folding his tent and pulling out of the chaos known as the Trump White House, it is the extreme turnover rate in the administration. It would seem many are called, but most who serve prove to be corrupt two bit cranks while the rest flee after realizing just how bat shit crazy their new boss is.

The main problem with The Process seems to be the screening and hiring protocols, which currently have all the professional integrity of back alley crap games run by bored pimps and the occasional loan shark looking for an easy mark.

Let's face it, someone really should have figured out beforehand, Rob Porter and David Sorenson liked to spend their spare time savagely abusing their wives. Or that, Hope Hicks was not only fucking Porter, but may have been doing the same with Corey Lewandowski. And, Mike Flynn was so deep in the pockets of Russia and Turkey he needed to unfold himself every morning before showering.

It does behoove us to note Preet Bharara, Sally Yates, and James Comey all worked for The Justice Department and were fired because they didn't--let's say--fit in with Mr. Trump's concepts of duty and loyalty. Hey, by now everyone should know respect for the separation of powers is a drag on the current job market at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and fealty to The Leader is prized above all.  

Beyond them we move on to profane rubes like Anthony Scaramucci. He was such an obnoxious bugger he apparently got his ass shanked by the publicly humble and soft spoken Ivanka.

Steve Bannon hung on longer than, "The Mooch," but in the end was so unhinged he left the stifling halls of power for a more fulfilling career as a freelance ultra right wing kingmaker. That was his excuse anyway and by God he's stuck with it, despite multiple reports he'd royally pissed off just about everyone he was working with, including the entire Trump family. Bannon's first post White House project was to back Roy Moore in Alabama's GOP Senate primary. His man won against the Trump endorsed candidate Luther Strange, then lost the general election mainly because it turned out the former chief justice of the state's supreme court was an extraordinarily dirty old man.

Sebastian Gorka quit because he came to believe members of the administration were undermining Trump's Make America Great Again initiatives. In other words, the Trump inner circle turned out to be far too leftist for Brother Gorka.

The list goes on and on. It includes the hapless buffoon, Sean Spicer and former and now once again reality TV star, Omarosa Manigualt. She was so weird reports are she had to be forcibly removed from the White House by security. There was also, Tom Price, the Secretary of Health and Human Services who never saw a private, or military aircraft he wouldn't charter at tax payer expense.

Others who have hit the road are once Chief of Staff Reince Priebus. He formerly ran the RNC, but when it came to commanding Donald Trump's White House didn't have a clue. In addition there is, Katie Walsh, former Deputy Chief of Staff, Walter Shaub, Director of the Office of Government Ethics, Michael Dubke, Communications Director, Andrew McCabe, FBI Deputy Director, Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald, Director of the CDC, and finally. the aforementioned, Gary Cohn, Director of the National Economic Council.

Reports maintain Cohn resigned because he couldn't talk Trump out of leveling heavy tariffs on aluminum and steel imports. According to sources, it was a decision arrived at during a fit of presidential anger over just about everything other than--you guessed it--aluminum and steel imports.

How can anyone believe, Donald Trump is capable of running this country in a coherent fashion? His staff selections have consisted of a bunch of self serving egomaniacs, borderline traitors, feral neo-nazis, and, to borrow a phrase, "I assume a few good people."

It is so bad, our only glimmer of hope at the moment is, that for a variety of reasons, none of these vile fucks last very long.

God save The United States of America.

And yes, if you were wondering, the bar is open.
