Stupid Bastards, You Finally Did It

     Oh, this will end well...
     If one audits just NBC's online news feed, you'll immediately get a queasy sense that all is not right in Trump USA (formerly Washington, DC). First, there's the Stalinist purge taking place:
The Donald Trump transition, already off to slow start, bogged down further Tuesday with the abrupt resignation of former Congressman Mike Rogers, who had been coordinating its national security efforts.      
Two sources close to Rogers said he had been the victim of what one called a "Stalinesque purge," from the transition of people close to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who left Friday. It was unclear which other aides close to Christie had also been forced out.
     Now, some of you may have noted that on the campaign trail, Christie was treated to some disrespect. There was the infamous hot mic moment when Trump told Christie, "Get on the plane, you go home" after the New Jersey Governor had just given him his endorsement. And you may also remember this infamous, "I get the umbrella, you get the rain" moment.

      So, it made a lot of people scratch their heads when, despite him telling Christie he "wouldn't last past October 2015," Trump made Christie head of his transition team. Well, that lasted all of two and a half days after Election Night when Christie abruptly got demoted, which almost immediately prompted his resignation last Friday. Then former Rep. Mike Rogers of Michigan just as abruptly left the transition team amid reports that "a Stalinesque purge" was taking place of Christie loyalists. Rogers, you might recall, also was more or less the head of Trump's National Security team on the campaign and was on the short list to be Trump's CIA Director.
      Trump's loathing of Christie over Bridgegate is well-known but there appears to be a longstanding grudge between Trump and the NJ Governor- You see, between the time he was on the Morris County Board of Chosen Freeloaders and the Governor's Mansion, Christie was the US Attorney for the District of New Jersey. And in his official capacity, he successfully prosecuted a crook named Charles Kushner. If that name sounds familiar, it is:
     Charles Kushner is the father of Jared Kushner, Trump's son in law and the owner of a right wing rag called The Observer. Jared Kushner is also part of the Trump transition team. Kushner, Sr had pled guilty to 18 counts of tax fraud and witness tampering, which sent him to federal prison for a whopping two years. (Kushner's also a heavy financial backer for the Democratic Party).
      No, no family issues there. Christ, this isn't an incoming administration, it's a bad ABC family dynastysummer replacement series.


     It's bad enough that Trump's American Psycho offspring bought the old post office in Washington DC that they're planning on turning into a Trump Hotel. But the same guy who's fit only for taping gold commercials on the QVC network also tried to turn his ".gov" transition website into an infomercial for his many properties.


     After NBC reported on this on the 11th, the public jerking off got abruptly, well, jerked off the transition website.
       And if all that doesn't put cold sweat on your balls, one of the reasons Trump's transition train is practically derailed is because all the legal paperwork signed by Christie no longer is valid now that Pope Pence I is in charge of the transition. This means nothing will get done until Pence files new legally-binding paperwork. In the meantime, the State Department and the Pentagon are still waiting for the transition team to occupy offices that have been set aside for them.
     And, a week after winning the presidency, Trump still hasn't received a single intelligence briefing, even though he's already allowed to receive the PDB.
