Dude, there’s 5 other tweets in that thread…

I like this one:

Good Lord! I don’t know who he thinks he’s convincing, besides his super-dedicated base.

Hui Chen – a former Pfizer and Microsoft lawyer who also was a federal prosecutor – had been the department’s compliance counsel. She left the department in June and broke her silence about her move in a recent LinkedIn post that sounded an alarm about the Trump administration’s behavior.

“Trying to hold companies to standards that our current administration is not living up to was creating a cognitive dissonance that I could not overcome," Chen wrote. “To sit across the table from companies and question how committed they were to ethics and compliance felt not only hypocritical, but very much like shuffling the deck chair on the Titanic. Even as I engaged in those questioning and evaluations, on my mind were the numerous lawsuits pending against the President of the United States for everything from violations of the Constitution to conflict of interest, the ongoing investigations of potentially treasonous conducts, and the investigators and prosecutors fired for their pursuits of principles and facts. Those are conducts I would not tolerate seeing in a company, yet I worked under an administration that engaged in exactly those conduct. I wanted no more part in it.”

Thats an option. But I think in a organization you need to fight for what you believe is right. Just quitting make everything easier for evil people.

3867

You can’t really fight a government agency though. Quitting is often the only way to draw attention to it.

Which is why people were saying Yates should have resigned, etc.
Government is a different animal than business, especially if you aren’t an elected official.

Ostensibly, you’re in a public position to serve your nation. While in most circumstances that can go on regardless of whomever is in office, it’s possible that your role can be so diminished as to make whatever impact negligible and in the end your greatest service to the public is to quit loudly.

Agata Kornhauser-Duda gave Trump a very special greeting.

You go, girl

And another one:

“It’s clear that there isn’t more I could accomplish”

Completely appropriate comment to the image. Not only Trump is a machist, but a narcissist, that hand flying to salute the other woman had angel wings. I don’t hate Trump, but is only healthy to show resistance against what Trump represent.

Oh man, the look on his face!

Here’s a tiny snippet of legitimate optimism: Republicans in Congress are simply ignoring him.

So, things sure are chaotic in the Trump White House.

(audience) HOW CHAOTIC ARE THEY?

They’re so chaotic that the latest people to dish behind-the-scenes dirt to the Washington Post are his own legal team.

He won’t follow instructions. After one meeting in which they urged Trump to steer clear of a certain topic, he sent a tweet about that very theme before they arrived back at their office.

He won’t compartmentalize. With aides, advisers and friends breezing in and out of the Oval Office, it is not uncommon for the president to suddenly turn the conversation to Russia — a subject that perpetually gnaws at him — in a meeting about something else entirely.

And he won’t discipline himself. Trump’s legal team, led by Marc E. Kasowitz of New York, is laboring to underscore the potential risk to the president if he engages without a lawyer in discussions with other people under scrutiny in widening Russia inquiries, including Jared Kushner, his son-in-law and senior adviser.

And why exactly is this in the optimism thread? Because there’s another thing he won’t do: pay the bills.

Another question is who will pay the legal fees for the president and administration officials involved in the Russia inquiries. Some in Trump’s orbit are pushing the Republican National Committee to bear the costs, said three people with knowledge of the situation, including one who euphemistically described the debate as a “robust discussion.”

Although the RNC does have a legal defense fund, it well predates the Russia investigations and is intended to be used for legal challenges facing the Republican Party, such as a potential election recount.

The RNC has not made a decision, in part because the committee is still researching whether the money could legally be used to help pay legal costs related to Russia. But many within the organization are resisting the effort, thinking it would be more appropriate to create a separate legal defense fund for the case.

The bastard is so cheap he won’t even spring to keep himself out of jail, meaning he’s likely to end up with a cut-rate defense. And here’s the thing - even if he does get off, paying his bills will cripple the RNC both directly by draining its coffers and indirectly by poisoning the fundraising well (“With each dollar you give, every cent will go to electing real conservatives - well, after we finish paying for all those lawsuits. That’ll be in 2030 or so.”)

Trump is so anti Clinton he wont even pay (a) Bill.
Edit: Or get one through Congress :)
