I have a degree in Political Science and Economics. While earning that degree, I interned for a former Chairman of the U.S. House appropriations committee and the Parliamentary Special Secretary for the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Then I earned a law degree. Mapping the contours of executive, legislative, and… Read more

Last week Full Frontal had a former policy advisor on. He said an entire team had been hired to help Trump’s campaign come up with policies, and this man, although a conservative, was also a moderate and joined hoping that he could keep things more even keeled than the batshittery that the campaign was spewing.

I work for a tiny federal agency that I’m 90% sure Trump does not know exists... never mind bothering to formulate future policy or plan for transition. He has never made any comment on us that I can find. Hillary at least had a positive sentence or two on her website. We’re all just sitting around waiting for him to… Read more

I have it from a good source that the Trump Transition Team has been watching this instructional video:

Donald doesn’t drink

Literally nothing is outside the realm of possibility here. I think there’s still a chance he never takes the oath of office.* Or he could get impeached for any number of past (or forthcoming) fuckups. On the surface, at least, it would seem to be a brilliant play politically for republicans. They could have at least… Read more

Give it time. Soon he will have written all the best pages. Great pages. Yuge pages. Nobody writes pages like Donald Trump writes pages. Read more

Ummm... Chris Christie for Attorney General, a man who will probably be indicted at any moment for Bridgegate will be in charge of America’s justice system. No conflict of interest there! Read more

One of Trump’s advisors said as recently as last weekend that they were planning on what to do after the election with the assumption that Trump would lose, and had no real plan for a victory. Read more

“ Trump’s team had (as of Wednesday) literally no pages”

This is my favorite part from the WSJ article: Read more

“Hello, uh, governor Romney? I don’t suppose you still have those binders of women handy...? Also, some transition papers, a competent staff, any idea what the president does, and some Jack Daniels?” Read more

We are in a position such that when they put in Reince as Chief Of Staff, I think I actually breathed a sigh of relief as there would be a goddamn adult (albeit one I have no time for) in the room.

Breitbart are in the goddamn White House. Read more

“OK people, step one is get that statue of Jay Z out of here. He said a lot of nasty things about me.”

Bannon and Priebus will be teammates, and have always been teammates. Read more

Guys it’s ok. Roger Goodell reviewed the evidence and cleared him of those pesky domestic abuse allegations... Read more

I keep reading, and hearing, everybody talking about the mid-terms in two years and the next election in four years, or even how, in the freaking 2030s, when the demographics change, the left will get back into power. The problem with all this is that everybody’s assuming there will be a Left left in the2030's, or… Read more
