Trump's war on women continues with his selection of a woman to be his Chief of Staff

 Little known Susan Summerall Wiles or Susie Wiles for short.  Was Trump's campaign manager.  67-year old grandma and daughter of the late American football player and broadcaster Pat Summerall.  Back in the day involved in Reagan and Florida politics.


The New Republic.  I used to read this when it was just a mag in Barnes and Noble.  Kind of a liberal version of National Review I would read it on occasion.  With Michael Kinsley as editor I found it a tolerable read.  He's gone on to other things and now it's just straight up deranged political commentary basically untreated TDS.  Reminds me of the scene in Easy Rider when they drop acid in the cemetery.  


Is Trump gonna find a role for Snoop?

  1. Read somewhere she is compatible with Trump's modus operandi-chaos. Most of his staff from 4 years back still walk bowlegged.
    What would William F. Buckley say as he chewed his pencil, leaned back and rolled his eyes? "From my comprehensive pondering, I shan't be remiss in noting the efficacious confluence of a conundrum of pragmatic and perspicacious multi-directional interfacing of overall national and international direction notwithstanding. Now here's a word from our sponsor - Preparation H"

    1. The COS is supposed to be the gateway to the rest of the staff: but he doesn't operate that way - he sees some that show up, he ignores others. It's his prerogative, pretty much unplanned and that's what he does. Don't know if you call it pre-active or pro-active or seat of the pants. Get your big raise yet?

    2. I think I may have gotten a small bump in pay. What you described sounds like a lot of workplaces these days. How many times have I said "Morning" to a manager and they walk right past.

    3. Never fully understood the position myself. Is it like HR people can complain to her? Where does the WH chef fit in?

    4. White House always has a chef - I think Clinton's specialized in Big Macs. Not sure what the hours are, you planning on trying out for the position?

    5. No way in hell. Would sooner apply for the cat chef position at Purina.

  2. That nice old Grandma is chaos? You've been watching too much "Get Smart."

  3. She's little known but you read somewhere so now you have the dope, the scoop, the info. What would we do without BB?

    1. What? You would have to rely on the other BB (Breitbart) :)

  4. In other news 43 monkeys escaped from a lab in S. Carolina. Said to be heading north to Yonkers. Unless they all end up in City Administration, you might nab one and train it to use your weed cutter. You have the dope!

    1. Hochul would probably have them all killed and tested for rabies.

  5. What's the consensus there at work? Everyone for much lower taxes,
    I presume. Me too. We'll see.

  6. Since I started here about 9 years ago a strong anti-Trump spirit at work. Gotta be careful. Nurse Nancy tries to play both sides of the fence.

  7. Been retired so long, I can't recall any politics in the workplace. In the early 70s I was in cosmetic lab and the boss there wanted to round up poor people and have the Army shoot them with machine guns. He said it would take care of welfare and be good combat training. No one argued, just scratched their heads.

  8. Army law enforcement etc. might attract a certain amount of psychos. The kind that speed up to hit a squirrel.

  9. Knew a guy carried a baseball bat under the front seat of his truck, hoping for road rage. Not much traffic here though.

    1. I've started my annual feed the squirrels back porch operation.
      Read the paper while watching them on the kitchen deck 4 ft away. Boy, do they chew fast.

    2. Odd, there are no blue jays west of the Great Plains. Smart birds.

    3. Didn't know that. I may need to brush up on my ornithology.

  10. There be people who wake up in the morning looking for an argument. I get customers like that.

  11. Lot of people have wives like that. "Good morning dear" "Don't give me that crap, your cat threw up on the carpet and I walked in it"
