With Reince Priebus’ Humiliating Exit, There are No More Adults Left in the Trump Administration
So President Trump just fired his Chief of Staff Reince Priebus after the Mooch humiliated him (and himself) in a nationally televised, paranoid, coke-addled tirade, and with that the establishment conservatives (you know the kind — always going on about how how straight they are but still constantly felating Reagan’s corpse on TV) they lost the last potty-trained baby-sitter in the Oval Office. Remember when Reince Priebus was supposed to be the one to protect the Republican Party from Trump’s baser instincts/Twitter feed? Now there are no adults in the room. No pilot at the front of the plane. No one in the administration that is a seasoned politician who understands how the levers of power work.
So what happens next? Here’s a glimpse: The same day that the rabid fangs of Scaramucci were introduced to the world, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke called Trumpcare holdout Senator Lisa Murkowski(R-AK) and threatened to withold funding for Alaskan infrastructure projects in retaliation for her disloyalty to the President’s agenda. You might take this as an indicator that the Trump Administration is learning how to use its leverage, a strong move, but a hamfisted and stupid, and one that never would have been made if there were any experienced politicians left to warn against it. James Hohman writes:
The secretary, or whoever at the White House ordered him to make the calls, clearly doesn’t understand the awesome power that comes with being the chairman of a Senate committee. Only an amateur would threaten the person who has oversight over his agency! If she wants, Murkowski can make Zinke’s life so unbelievably miserable. He has no idea.
This is what happens when a candidate delivers on the promise to “clean up Washington” and kick the butts of the “politicians” (said with a sneer).
The Republican Party knew it was making a Faustian bargain when it let Candidate Trump take the mantle, but they didn’t really think he could win — it would just be a good way to rile up the base to hold onto their majorities in the House and Senate. Then Candidate Trump became President-Electoral-College Trump and they thought, “Hey, Reince is our man, and maybe Sessions and a couple others in the cabinet can keep this repugnant yet politically-functional stew of weaponized fear, hatred of elites, and pure, unadulterated contempt for America’s first black president from boiling over.” But they were overconfident in their ability to control the President. They believed Trump would “mature” into the Presidency. That the Twitterhaulic would somehow stay on the wagon. That he’d listen to their advice when he realized that a steady stream of tweets is not the same as a steady hand for governance.
Instead, the President listens to Steve Bannon, the white nationalist maniac-turned-most-powerful whisperer in Washington, whose team of monkeys tried to write a legally defensible Muslim Ban. He listens to the advice of the 36 year-old boy who married his daughter and convinced him to fire the FBI director to stop the Russia investigation only to find it did the opposite. No one is able to keep him from the slow-motion murder of his own Attorney General. It’s even reported that Trump’s Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson is ready and waiting to be fired. Sean Spicer resigned this week after dutifully falling on his sword every single day for six months, only to be replaced by Anthony Scaramucci, an ego-maniac who speaks of himself in the third person and can’t do a three minute on-camera interview without trying to crawl through the camera, straight up Trump’s ass.
Reince Priebus was no Boy Scout, but he was a company man, and like the rest of the company men in the Trump Administration, Priebus, compromised his integrity for sure, but it could be argued that he sacrificed his reputation to keep this government aloft like a pilot trying to safely land a damaged aircraft with all of America onboard.

With Priebus out and Attorney General Jeff Sessions receiving his last rites, the White House remains a cesspool of courtesans all fighting for the favor of the King. If any more are added to the mix, we’ll need a White House aide under the desk in the Oval Office, holding a breast pump for the President to defile so that this administration of Moochian sycophants can remain fed. Meanwhile, America is still on the plane and losing altitude, and the last qualified pilot was just ejected without a parachute.
