There's a conversation around the line of succession similar to 'at what point to you get to someone reasonable if Trump is impeached' given Pence is not ideal.

Given Rebecca Brand resigned.. if Rosenstein is fired the next in line is the Solicitor General, a guy called Noel Francisco - I suspect he's thinking 'man, I really don't want to get pulled into this, I like my anonymous life'.

There's a massive difference between Pence and Trump of course, Pence being a more conventional Republican.

And besides, after Trump, the bar will be so low... all he would have to do is not be friendly to the Russians.

This whole thing is going to get ten times more exasperating if they amp up the deep state conspiracy theory bullshit.

So if I send him some stories across Twitter that people are conspiring against him on social media, or some shit, you're telling me I'll get a job?

I mean, it probably pays better than whatever I'm doing now. I'd consider it.

Yo! Trump! Send some of that swamp money my way! I'll bitch at people on Twitter for you!

On the This American Life podcast they had a section with Sean Spicer defending walls to reporters, he was like..

"This picture is a levy wall and that's a bollard wall"
"It's a chain?"
"Technically it's called a levy wall"
"No but it's just a chain, and those are just some bollards"
"I think you mean bollard wall"
"No, they're bollards"


It was as surreal as anything Alex Jones says.. I think if one gave up on any pretence of seriousness then press secretary might be rather fun.

This actually happened...

The reporter was from Breitbart, so no surprise they have no understanding of reality and how infrastructure works.

Probably since Breitbart is a liberal rag now. No really. Look at the comment section of that video of the Breitbart reporter asking about the fence wall.

Oh man if only I could get a job in the Trump administration I'd push through a bill funding waifu robot research.

Oh, I don't read Breitbart (since it's too right-wing for me, but mostly because the news are pretty much will be very biased to right-wing and Trump), but if it is really turned to liberal rag (biased)....well, that's a downhill journey for the once-right-wing news channel, right?

Uh, I do think you can get a job for funding waifu robot research if you ask for support from the central backer of waifu robot, Japan.
