    No problem my good man!

    Kris Kobach’s Conditions for Becoming Immigration Czar

    Mr. Kobach submitted the following list of demands during discussions for an administration post.

    1. Office in the West Wing.
    2. Walk-in privileges with the president.
    3. Assistant to the President rank - at highest pay level for WH senior staff.
    4. Staff of 7 people (2 attorneys, 2 research analysts, 1 scheduler, 1 media person, 1 assistant).
    5. POTUS sits down individually with Czar and the secretaries of Homeland Security, Defense, Justice, Ag, Interior, and Commerce, and tells each of the Secretaries to follow the directives of the Czar without delay, subject to appeal to the President in cases of disagreement.
    6. 24/7 access to either a DHS or DOD jet. Czar must be on the border every week.
    7. Ability to spend weekends in KS with family on way from border back to DC, unless POTUS needs Czar elsewhere.
    8. Security detail if deemed necessary after security review.
    9. Serve as the face of Trump immigration policy - the principal spokesman on television and in the media.
    10. Promise that by November 1, 2019, the president will nominate Kris Kobach to be DHS Secretary, unless Kobach wishes to continue in Czar position.
    Not a problem pal---trump will agree to all of that---just don't expect that the check will ever be in the mail

    The source is the WSJ-----but you and me have a very different measure of "reliable".

    As an update---it seems Kobach over played a bad hand and is now off the table and replaced with a less demanding sucker.

    Appears to be the most effective method to appeal to Trump. He could never live with the title of "dealmaker my azz".

    That list of demands is so far over the top that I wanted to find a link, more to see what else Kobach said actually. I found an article in the NYT http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/...ite-house.html I thought I got linked to one of those lefty sites when I started reading then realized I was. But it appears that everybody thinks he's on drugs coming up with a list like that, he sure thinks highly of himself that's for sure I'm thinking he's the only one that does.
    This is your mind on drugs!
