The rats are jumping or being pushed off the sinking ship

Lord Dampnut's communications director is gone. Spicer is not far behind.

Feel free to post predictions/announcements of further departures here.

There's a rumor floating around that Reince Priebus is going to be named Ambassador to Greece...

Man, now there's a plum gig... Live in all expense paid luxury in one of the most beautiful places on earth, where your "job" consists mainly of throwing and attending lavish parties...

After the hell of serving as Il Boobce's Chief-of-Staff, I imagine he'd jump at that in heart beat...I sure would..

There's something to be said from a political standpoint for the idea of buying off senior staff members that you want out of the White House with Ambassadorships to countries that don't require a lot of diplomatic expertise or heavy lifting, rather than just giving them the boot...(Like Trump did when he named former NSA deputy director KT McFarland to be Ambassador to Singapore)

You give them something that makes them happy, and also keeps them as a member of the Administration so they don't immediately run out and sign a book deal to trash you...

Will the next White House Press Secretary being shoved into the piranha pool be this mistress of misdirection?

I can't wait for Melissa McCarthy's send-up of SHS on SNL next season. I'm going to miss the Spice man.

Been a few years, but I thought it jumped the shark long ago.

For someone who supposedly only voted for Trump as some sort of a protest vote, you are pretty eager to parrot his little snarks.

To be fair to oldr, he doesn't have much good to say about anything on TV (unless the characters have long beards and poor dental care...)

No, but to post, "is SNL still on" is disingenuous in the extreme unless someone has been living in a cave for the last political season.

And what other little snarks of his (Trumps I am guessing) have I parroted?

As someone who barely watches tv at all and certainly not when SNL is on (presumably in it's original day/time slot) I have no clue what I could be parroting, let alone multiple parroting.

Did trump say that snl has "jumped the shark"?
if so then I agree as the last time I watched it I could not stay tuned. Of course that was some years ago. Maybe it has gotten better, but I do not know, nordo I care enough to find out.

Not surprised at all that wes has absolutely nothing to say about Kushner's perjury or how his messiah made a complete fool of himself, and your country, on the world stage over the past week.

Even they are not on anymore. :(
So my tv now is down to Married with Children for a 1/2 hour on friday night (on logo I think, channel 179 here in cablevision land) after I get home from my meetings (or meeting up with my sponsee, or both).

or a late night motorcycle ride. :ok

Isn't 'Logo' the gay-friendly cable channel?  What's the connection between that lifestyle and "Married ... With Children"?

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

I snark on my own behalf, not in the service of anyone else's bidding.

I do like that Wes. After a suitable interval I will use it myself and of course claim it as my own.

I have no idea what the connection is, but it does seem to be a gay friendly channel.
I see adds for some fire island show (i am guessing it's a jersey shore type of thing only with all gay guys) and some Rue paul show.

They also show reruns of All in the Family, Alice, Mama's Family and I think Rossanne.

As of yet there haven't been any complaints from any of the brick shithouses I have banged, so I must be doing something right.
