Thread Name: BS: The Alternative Facts Thread
Subject: RE: BS: The Alternative Facts Thread
Hair Farce One has provided us with the latest (as far as I know) Alternative Fact. He blamed "fake news" for Flynn's departure when he was the one who claimed credit for firing him on the basis of, we must conclude, "fake news". His "review" of intelligence agencies is an obvious diversion, he's got to be scared about what's going to come out in the Flynn investigation, regarding not just Flynn's phone call and subsequent lies about it but his own organization's involvement with the Russian government. I have no doubt he was encouraging Flynn to reassure his Russian buddies in the wake of the Obama-imposed sanctions, a violation of the Logan Act. The old flimflam man has taken on a scam that's way beyond his abilities.

He's still running in campaign mode where all he had to do was bamboozle white rednecks and some extreme conservatives, now he's got to deal with the majority of the electorate, congress, the judiciary and the rest of the government.

As far as the next to exit the clown car goes, when Trump's numbers really begin to slide it'll be Bannon because he doesn't need a racist bomb-thrower at this stage as he's already won the electoral college and perhaps preceding him will be Priebus as this administration is an unholy mess. He needs a respected, experienced political operative as chief of staff to clean things up but what decent human being with those qualifications would have any thing to do with him.
