ONLY THE BEST PEOPLE Acting Sec of Def, Shanahan, calls it quits due to abusive spouse

Isn’t that a requirement for any job in Trump’s admin?

Marriage is a holy sacrament as long as you can slap the mouthy bitch, dump her for a younger hotter bitch once this one has given you kids and can divorce because your dogma is so inflexible and hypocritical that no human being can live with you. God Bless the GOP. Make America Great for Deplorables Again.

The gift of crazed, alcoholic, borderline frau wife is one that just keeps giving...

Did Trump also beat the shit out of Melania while she was pregnant and caused some brain damage in Barron? He was shagging around with porn actresses back then. That's why he flocks with all the wife beaters in DC.

Trump's barely mobile elder sperm were enough to limit Barron's potential. No violence necessary. Though I'm sure Trump knocked her around for coughing or rolling her eyes or frowning as he undressed.

That is one fucked up family; the whole thing literally reads like a ripped from the headlines episode of Law & Order including cops (and even to a certain degree defense lawyers) who are sickened by the father's efforts to protect his psycho son (but he's got a baseball career!) after a brutal assault on his mother. Granted, the mother has issues, but I'd be willing to bet that the parents knocking the hell out of each other was just a day at the office for that bunch.

Not as if the incompetence of the Derr Dump admin can be underestimated, but how did anyone think this wasn't going to come out?

Jesus Christ, that’s a house full of crazy.

I thought only poor people did this.

Poor Donald

Their 17 year old son had to beat the bitch with a baseball bat, so she must be a holy terror.

So classy. Only the best.

"you clean her up"

THIS guy was the best they could come up with? I really have to wonder who else was on their list of potential nominees.

Shanahan’s intense familial dysfunction must read as somewhat familiar to Trump. Remember that a history of familial dysfunction, including intergenerational mistreatment, informs Trump’s understanding of childhood and parenthood.

Some of his family and Shanahan himself spoke with the WaPost over the last man months about the history causing him to withdraw. While Shanahan’s actions are seriously flawed and often morally vacant, the context of a much larger and violent dysfunction in his family strikes at the heart of why he resigned.
