A Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On - Head-Shaking, That Is...

So Sessions is out today backing and filling about not briefing Drumpf about wiretapping. Everyone in the Trump administration is working hard to try to cover their own asses against the next dumbass thing Trump says.

Working for Donald Trump must mean that you're constantly shaking your head about something the orange-haired White House resident has done or said. Not a very stable work environment, I'm thinking.

I know that pretty much everyone has an idiot for a boss, but this is freaking ridiculous...

They knew who they were going to work for. Could they possibly be so stupid they thought he become "presidential" over time?

You notice how long stretches go by that seem relatively normal? They've probably got a "minder" on him. The second he's left to his own devices he makes up another lie and spews it out. The man isn't mentally fit for the position. End of story.

She doesn't seem to blow up and fly away like a loose balloon very often.

...trying to look innocent as his sibling gets in trouble.

We'll get to you later, buster.

The boss has idiots working for him, so there's clearly a ripple effect. One idiocy leads to another - question where it ends and where it begins - perpetually ricocheting idiocy in the WH.

...we're experiencing full republicanism, long exposed as a farce, adopted by voters, nonetheless.

Sure, it's serious stuff. Infuriating, too.
