Being a “terrible human being” is a feature, not a bug. He was complimenting the orange shit-stain.

Mick isn’t standing in for Flynn, I think you are thinking of General Kelly, also a fairly terrible human being.
If this was Trumplethinskin’s “A” team, these jokers are dipping into the C- maybe D+ territory (see his UN pick)

Well, hey, as long as a woman who is a democrat isn’t in charge, that’s all that matters… I mean, Trump will wreck the economy with his dumb policies, make us a laughing stock, and open our the government to utter privatization across the board, but hey… as long as a democrat and a woman isn’t in charge… it’s all as god intended…
God, I hate these people.

If you agreed to work for someone whose habits and other opinions you found odious, but signed on anyhow, you shouldn’t be surprised when you get called on it.
@enkidoodler, I think it’s gone beyond AAA farm team, and more like recruiting from the Pee Wee T-ball team.

Y’all need a fact checker.

Trump: “I’ll make you rich.”
Mulvaney: “More than than I was getting from our treasury?”
Trump: “Oh, you can still do that!”
Mulvaney: “Ohhh you’re the best!”

Mulvaney is Trump’s acting Chief of Staff, standing in for Mike Flynn, who might be going to prison.
As others have pointed out, he’s not standing in for Flynn. He’s currently still at OMB, and was standing in as acting head of the CFPB until earlier this month.
Flynn was Trump’s first National Security Advisor, and lasted a remarkable 24 days in that role. He has not had a role in the administration since his dismissal in February 2017.
John Kelly is the current White House Chief of Staff.
And Mulvaney will not become acting Chief of Staff until Kelly leaves at the end of the month.

The only reason I can imagine for why Cory thinks Flynn is Kelly is that he believes all Trump administration generals with Irish surnames are the same.
It’s right there in the first paragraph of the job description. Now we’re outraged?
Wasn’t Mulvaney also in charge of wrecking everything up at CFPB? How’s that coming along?
right you are. So. Many. Generals.

How many generals do you need for a proper junta?

Still not right–current chief of staff is John Kelly. Mulvaney still isn’t acting chief of staff. And Mike Kelly is a Republican congressman from Pennsylvania.
You know the rules - corrections must be prefaced with “Um, Actually”.

To be fair, it would be impossible to find someone who didn’t think Trump was a terrible human being. It doesn’t matter what one’s politics are, there’s different reasons to find him abhorrent. In fact, there’s no moral standard in which Trump is anything but terrible. Even Trump’s most ardent supporters admit he’s a terrible human being - he’s just their terrible human being (or they believe so).

I can’t help but think how things have changed since, ‘The Apprentice.’
On that show, the worst thing that could happen was hearing the dreaded words, “You’re fired”
Now the most dreaded words are, “You’re hired.”

What I find most dangerous and offensive is the group of self appointed “leaders” of the American religious right who flock to Trump and call him God’s anointed one. They are attempting to establish the church of the Republican Party.
The definition of religious freedom is the freedom of certain select religions to force their hypocritical version of morality on everyone.

All the “best people” know that he is a terrible human being,
