Change the southern border immigration/asylum policy back to what it was under Obama (no “wait in Mexico,” no family separation). That would definitely turn off a large portion of his base. After all, that was his opening gambit.

He’d do it in the dumbest possible way. Probably by declaring martial law and suspending the Constitution or something.
I mean, getting a cushy ambassadorship kind of involves some pay to play, but it’s never, not ever, this nakedly skirting law and ethics rules. “We’ll pay $100k on the nomination, and the remaining $400k on confirmation” ? And he CC’d a senate committee chair in that response email???
Goddamn. That is Jerry Springer writing city checks and signing them to a hooker levels of stupid.
And what is it with people who send emails about their crimes? How dumb are they?

Criminals, especially the ones who get caught, are usually pretty dumb.
Well, yeah. Why would a white supremacist get fired from a white supremacist administration for being a white supremacist?
Stephanie Grisham must think all those Barack & Joe White House Post-It Notes memes are real.
Stuff like this is insidious. You have a senior White House staff member out there telling a blatant lie, but that lie mirrors memes and/or misinformation already spread around social media, so in the mind of the rabid base meme+soundbite=TRUTH. When the entire Administration, from the President on down, all lie about everything, reality becomes whatever they want it to be.
These people don’t just need to be removed from office, they need to be indicted, tried and sent to prison for essentially trying to undermine American democracy.
Foolish people think Trump must be incompetent because there’s basically no one left in the Administration who has been confirmed by the Senate, but old Donnie is crazy like a fox. It’s all just part of his master plan.
With the departure of its Senate-confirmed leader last week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued a new edict regarding which U.S. officials are worthy of a framed portrait on the agency’s walls.
Just one: President Trump.
The shrinking photo gallery is the result of an agency mandate to feature only Senate-confirmed leaders and elected officials on its walls. Because Trump has said he prefers to keep many top officials in “acting” positions to make it easier to fire them, and because the president has repeatedly refused to nominate the agency’s leaders for confirmation, Trump’s photo will stand alone.
Suck it, government officials! The world’s greatest dealmaker has grabbed 100% of the official portrait real estate and he only needed to leave countless appointments vacant to do it!

I’ll always have fond memories of Kelly’s CBP portrait. It looked like someone shouted “over here!” as he got up from a meeting and then snapped a photo.
I’m sure Republicans will demand an immediate investigation:
There are IMAX cineplexes with less projection than the GOP.
How the fuck was it at 50% last week? We know ras has a republican lean, but that poll was off from the average by 9-10%…I guess they are the one lonely set of green points above 50%.
