is Reince still serving up those 'nothing burgers?' .......

I stated here @ DP yesterday that Trump has 'sadistic personality disorder' one trait of which is gaining pleasure from humiliating others.

I mean, really, shades of LBJ in calling him in to swat a fly. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/201...s-up-about-his-six-months-of-magical-thinking

Thank you. That was interesting. More confirmation of what we already knew along with some interesting new stuff.

Evening- that is how he is- he uses humiliation- he verbally abuses people- wait for more detailed books to come out over the next few years.

Was he working for America?
He was working for a guy who's doing a pretty awful job for America. Don't blame him.

You know what you might have a point there, Priebus very well may be of so low quality that he as not working for America...

NEVER ASSUME

I know you were not asking me, but allow me to give you my take. Reince was not Trump's first or second or possibly third choice for the COS job. Trump was persuaded by the Republican "establishment" to give the job to Priebus because Reince knew how DC worked having run the RNC. It was originally beleived that Trump could be "polished" a bit to make him appear more "Presidential" and Priebus could do the job. We now understand that such a transformation is not within Trump's DNA.

In a nutshell, Priebus failed because he was simply not able to "make chicken salad out of chicken ****".

He did not earn being called into the Oval Office to swat a fly for the President. Period.
