He has done this all his life in his businesses. He is sick and actually thrives on chaos. If none exists he isn't happy and stirs things up so he can be a spectator. He loves to pit people against each other. His biographers have all said this about him.

And malevolent.

Some manipulative characters were looking for a public face to put on the mayhem that they were planning for this country. Reaching way down to the bottom of the barrel they found a perfect candidate and then stole the election.

Not saying it's rUSSRians or Kochs or SPECTRE. Just sayin.

Now Trump is in the White House, and we see with our own eyes what it is like when America is run not like a democracy but like a business.

And what we see "ain't good."

In fact it is horrible, corrupt and chaotic, selfish and mean.

And then we realize that the real reason American businesses cannot compete with, say, German or Chinese or other countries' businesses is that they are horrible, corrupt, chaotic, selfish and mean, not always and not all of them, but all too often.

We need to clean up our business world. They should compete fairly. They should care about human beings, not just profits.

I think we should start by enacting laws that guarantee employees more rights in the workplace -- such as the right to speak forthrightly about what goes on in their workplace. German free speech laws, a subject I once studied, are broad enough to apply to private parties and not just to the government. Maybe we don't want to go that far, but we should go far enough to protect employees who speak publicly about corruption, unfair practices, cheating, dishonesty and cruelty in the workplace. We need overall to give employees greater security and more rights in the workplace. Employers should not be able to simply fire people at will. They should be required to justify firing someone. And we should do everything possible to encourage mutual respect, openness and fairness in companies, especially for employees.

When I see the amount of employee turnover in the Trump White House, I am utterly shocked. But Trump is just running his "business" as many business owners in the US would like to.

Within 30 min I was called into the assistant manager's office and reprimanded. That is when I tried to start a union but the store went bankrupt and closed within 6 months. I was GLAD! When I had to go back to college and change careers I decided that whatever I chose it would be unionized. I became a teacher and a union rep for my school. It was a very, very weak union but it was better than nothing.

The shitgibon has a sad and his wet nurse has quit! Poor widdle primate.

Trump doesn't have the balls to outright fire Sessions.... he knows that would be too obviously obstruction of justice..... so he is trying to humiliate him into resigning.

Good for Sessions for basically making Trump fire him to get rid of him.

Let me be clear.. that is the ONLY thing I am saying "good for Sessions" about.

On both counts. I picture his wife slapping him upside the head, in that unique way Southern women do by saying, “bless your heart honey...” making him stand up to Trump. Never underestimate the power of Southern women

handy 'kick' toy. In the true sense of the word, he IS king con's scapegoat.

He has already offered it once at least.

As much as I hate that guy, I hope he stays as A.G. as long as Trump is in office.
Who would possibly take his place?

Anybody who's actually more qualified would never want the job, and wouldn't pass the loyalty sniff test anyway.
Anybody who's more evil might want the job and swear loyalty to Trump, but would never be approved by Congress.
So Sessions is stuck there in DoJ, he can't quit, and Trump can't fire him.

Sounds like rightwing HELL, doesn't it?

He could get senate confirmation and Arkansas would replace him with another republican. Or Nunez but I doubt he would make it.

He would be perfect for this White House.

.... He would be a nice distraction for tr-dump and he would be a real lap dog to do what tr-dump and tr-dumpetts want. Religious issues, social issues, economic issues.etc. etc..

Could be a nice spring board if Ted tries for the Oval Office again - the Fundi Religious Nazis would love it.

I think he would win going Mano a Mano.

.... thing is Cotton looks normal - almost charismatic, - impish little boy. But once he starts talking you know right off he is a Fascist self centered pig.

Now just need his whole family to turn on him, and end up in prison. I don’t care where...

It seems to be his modus operandi.

How he rolls.

We'll spraypaint it gold, just for him.

With weird bugs. Nothing too up-to-date.
OR
Sentenced to working on a crew building homes for Habitat for Humanity. With regular volunteers. They would be his boss. For a long time.

Thanks!

It's so very frightening how much Agent Orange sounds and acts like Hitler here! That is just what he'd say and how he'd act. We are truly fucked if he's not impeached or doesn't resign.

Welcome to DU!

I have a daughter about that age and would never dream in a million years of taking a picture with her in a dress like that kissing me on a bed. Must be something wrong with me.

like you are just fine.

Welcome to DU!

He is melting down faster than the Wicked Witch of the West... total incompetence we all foresaw when they stole the election. My only wish is Godspeed Mr. Mueller.

His demise as President has just accelerated considerably I think.

His mental state is breaking apart. His meeting over gun control shows he is so unfocused and scattered. This is even scarier for our country. He is liable to completely come undone.

or the more recent one, which doesn't hold a candle to the "old" one..

It is possible that there are readers who do not know who.."Leo Blum" is. If there are any, they must watch one of the funniest movies ever made...Zero Mostel is incredible..as is Gene Wilder ..as "Leo Blum"..

Yes, The Producers is a solid gold film...go to the local library and take it out. You will not regret it.
and..............this is not an advertisement for "Netflix"

.

Obama's fault!

It's also Elizabeth Warren's and Nancy Pelosi's fault. And don't forget Robert Mueller.

Is it too late to impeach him?

your comments, MustLoveBeaglesgles.. Hillary and Obama.

Start at 11, lunch at 12-1, exec time at 2-3, knock off before 4.

And he is surprised by what is going on. Hello? Just put in a reasonable work effort and you will see how things are working.

And here's a clue, people who are interested in the work they do, and get recognition and rewards for doing well, are happy and loyal.

Treat people like doormats, and well, don't be surprised when they get angry and leave.

is that corporate America has endorsed this policy for many years. People are commodities and not considered valued parts of the team by so many companies. My husband got that treatment after being a professional for 40 years. He got laid off. So in the WH, Trump is just treating people the way he believes that his company employees should be treated.

Not workin' out so well, eh Donnie?

I've lost count. I'm almost 60, and loyalty was dead by the time I was 25.

Luckily, I've always managed to find a better job than I had. Doesn't mean I liked it. It sucked. Why me and not them?

But what trump does is much worse than what corporations do. He actively disrespects the people who work for him. He is an asshat to work for. People there must HATE going to work every day. They will be scarred by this for years.

He destroys everyone and everything he touches. He needs to go to jail. now.

My husband was 63 when he was laid off. We were left with no health insurance and no income (some health challenges of mine took me off work just prior to this whole mess). Scary times. He was able to do some consulting for a few years, but the cruel and toxic way he was treated had an impact on our whole family. I cannot imagine what that does to the people working for #45.

His bullying is so toxic. He has to be cruel to make himself feel better.

When things in our political situation nearly overwhelm me, I put a picture in my mind's eye of Toxic Man in an orange jumpsuit, shackled hands and feet, with his strange comb-over hair hanging limply at his shoulders - bald pate shining brightly for all to see. And I hope against hope that it becomes a reality.

Asking Gump to put in more work is like asking a drunk to drive 100 miles instead of 20.

To paraphrase Malcolm, the chickens are coming home to roost. As an old farm worker, that makes me glad.

The buck stops here means the buck stops into his pocket.

drumph would just keep it and not take the responsibility that comes with it.

he should probably get someone to leak that it's so orderly and buttoned down that there are absolutely no leaks at all in the white house.

Mandate that all Republicans hand their resignations immediately, and failure to do so will result in a anti-Republican campaign for 2018.

What the hell, the big blue wave is coming to take over Congress and forcibly remove unwanted trash.

Snowflake, etc.

It's a cartoon from Andrew Rae. It was published in July 2017.

the man who thrives on palace intrigue is pissed off that his manipulations and bullshit worked. but no worries after his tantrum he'll be as convinced as ever that it's Hillary's fault, the media's fault, Obama's fault, the Democrats' fault, his wife's fault, anyone's fault but his. Trump cannot, categorically cannot, face his own faults. never has, never will. he just never grew up that much.

Choke on it, shitgibbon.

Will not celebrate until he's dead and gone.

The first thing that comes to mind is trump singing the song from the Wizard Of Oz, "If I only had a brain".

He doesn't have courage or a heart either.

Daddy's reclaiming his crown err dunce cap.

corrupt. In 1970, Pres. Nixon and Congress withdrew environmental and health protection responsibilities from the resource departments and agencies and placed them in EPA, an independent agency, safe from corrupt members of congress and senior government managers. Today, we have come full-circle back to 1969, with the Secretary of the Interior and the Administrator of the EPA locking arms in slashing environmental and health protections. When the DEMs finally get this wrecking crew out of their offices, we need a review of their actions to identify their illegal actions, bring charges, have trials, and send the corrupt leaders to prison.

they could watch it all day. lol

Wait until Mueller indicts your pimpled ass.

I guess that is why Sessions is being blamed for merely existing. drumpf has cracked and is now more dangerous then ever.

HE's either on meth, or has serious problems going on right now. Or both.

People.

Words.

Corrupt mofo's.

Whores.

I *am* elite! I have *all* the best!

He wants chaos. He wants to bring down our government and country.

I ain’t celebrating, or laughing.
