Nick Ayers decides that he’d rather leave the White House than take the Chief of Staff gig.
I read on Twitter: Ayers looks like the bully in every 1980's teen movie.Nick Ayers decides that he’d rather leave the White House than take the Chief of Staff gig.
Sinking ship. No reason to damage what appears to be a rising career within the GOP.Ayers went from "meeting with Trump to negotiate terms of the COS job" to "quitting in 3 weeks" in the span of about 30 minutes.
I’m reading Trump wanted a two year commitment and Ayers said noAyers went from "meeting with Trump to negotiate terms of the COS job" to "quitting in 3 weeks" in the span of about 30 minutes.

If I had to guess - he knows who the replacement is going to be if he doesn’t take it and wanted no part of it.It sounds like Ayers were perfectly willing to stay on the sinking ship for a little while, but Trump demanded a 2-year commitment. When Ayers declined that request, the #### hit the fan and now suddenly Ayers is gone.
What I want to know is: did Trump say "Give me 2 years or you're fired", or did Ayers say "Give me flexibility or I quit"?
It just seems strange to me that Ayers is suddenly not interested in returning to his old job.
Looked like he thought it would fly
It's like he thinks it's a dove.

Meadows and Whitaker are the ones left on this list since it was last updated oh an hour ago.The focus now turns to other candidates to fill Kelly’s shoes. Among the people Trump is actively weighing, or has mentioned as possibilities, are Republican Representative Mark Meadows, chairman of the conservative Freedom Caucus;U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer; budget director Mick Mulvaneyand Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, according to several people familiar with the matter.

I am in the process of interviewing some really great people for the position of White House Chief of Staff. Fake News has been saying with certainty it was Nick Ayers, a spectacular person who will always be with our #MAGA agenda. I will be making a decision soon!

I wonder if Pence, or Mother, had any say in Ayers future as VP chief of staff...or are they scared to stand up to Trump for fear of being dumped from the ticket?It sounds like Ayers were perfectly willing to stay on the sinking ship for a little while, but Trump demanded a 2-year commitment.

He's really slipping with the "Fake News" thing, since even Fox News said Ayers was the top choice and that Trump would be making an announcement in a matter of days, and Fox even cited an early report from the Wall Street Journal naming Ayers as the likely replacement.Wheeeee!Donald J.

With good reason because Ayers was a big Jarvanka ally. It’s simple....Ayers didn’t bow to the king so he was beheaded.[scooter] said:He's really slipping with the "Fake News" thing, since even Fox News said Ayers was the top choice and that Trump would be making an announcement in a matter of days, and Fox even cited an early report from the Wall Street Journal naming Ayers as the likely replacement.
I think more-likely is the fact that Ayers is considered an up-and-comer in the GOP and he's seeing the way the investigation is obviously headed and wants to distance himself from Trump as fast as possible. I'm not sure any Trump associates will survive once the sh** hits the fan. This is going to get very, very ugly. And it will be interesting to watch the reactions of GOP officials. Who quietly sleeks away, who is vocal about it and acts like he never really supported the guy, and who will actually stick with him. Ayers probably doesn't want to see his promising career come to an end in a year or two.With good reason because Ayers was a big Jarvanka ally.

Tywin was very happy to be Hand considering that made him the defacto kingWhen Joffrey Baratheon is king, who wants to be the Hand?
Only because Joffrey was underage and preoccupied.Tywin was very happy to be Hand considering that made him the defacto king
He'll end up being his own CoS. Or one of his dopey kids.who's going to be dumb enough to take this job? The most toxic job you could step into...even his biggest supporters want no part of it....only the best!! MAGA

he effectively is anyway but it just takes whatever little guardrail there was out of the equation...and listening to people like Tillerson speak when they are out of office it's scary just how corrupt and clueless Trump really is. Laws, norms, truth don't matter at all...it's all about him and his brand at all times...not the people of this country, our American ideals or our future.He'll end up being his own CoS. Or one of his dopey kids.

If I thought I could control hm, sure.Only because Joffrey was underage and preoccupied.
Now imagine Joffrey in his 70s, yet no wiser and just as petulant, ignorant, and cruel. Would you be Hand to that?
If Joffrey had twitter it would have been a real mess. Trump would be in better shape without Twitter as well.If I thought I could control hm, sure.
However, as evidenced by his continual Twitter use with reckless abandon, Trump, unlike a child/Joffrey, cannot seem to be controlled by anybody.
Woof.who's going to be dumb enough to take this job? The most toxic job you could step into...even his biggest supporters want no part of it....only the best!! MAGA

No doubt. But I'm pretty confident in my guess that Tywin would have shut that #### down because he knew how to control Joffrey to the extent necessary for Tywin to achieve his ends.If Joffrey had twitter it would have been a real mess. Trump would be in better shape without Twitter as well.
Curious other problems were a focus of the Republican House last Friday? Oh that's right, questioning Comey on HRC emails.on the heels of the numerous Hillary investigations this is truly rich...we haven't even begun buddy...buckle up!!

McCarthy urges House Dems to not investigate Trump: "I think America is too great of a nation to have such a small agenda. I think there are other problems out there that we should be focused on... we've investigated this for a long time."
Just like Howard Sterns mom. “You should only do one thing per day”Have we ever discussed his thoughts on exercise?
After college, after Trump mostly gave up his personal athletic interests, he came to view time spent playing sports as time wasted. Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted. So he didn't work out. When he learned that John O'Donnell, one of his top casino executives, was training for an Ironman triathlon, he admonished him, "You are going to die young because of this."
He is truly evil.:(

Jesus. Unbelievable.Trump halts use of fetal tissue in biomedical research
This particular change directly affects finding a cure for HIV/AIDS. But this type of action affects all types of medical advances including cancer research.
This project contains waivers on multiple laws, not just environmental.:(
