I am however a measured political junky, so when I learned about the <a href=\"https:\/\/trumpadministrationfantasyleague.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Administration Fantasy League<\/a>, I discovered a fantasy sport that I could find the time and interest to join!  Join the Trump Administration Fantasy League by using the site\u2019s random number generator to draft seven unique players from Trump\u2019s administration that includes a selection of 29 players.  Then track the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TrumpAFL\" target=\"_blank\">league news via Twitter<\/a> and see your players gain points!  The creator of the site Matt McCaleb has been closely monitoring the latest news on the Trump administration to maintain up to date player stats!<\/p>\n<p>Currently former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn is at the top of the score board at 100 points.  Devin Nunes is a far second at 65 points.  Trump needs to up his game as he\u2019s only fourth at 35 points.  If he launches a war against North Korea, I\u2019m certain he\u2019d win hands down (although I don\u2019t see launching a war as a possible stat).  The stats used to measure the value of the players include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Arrested \/ Arrests another player\t100<\/li>\n<li>Dies \/ Kills another player\t100<\/li>\n<li>Resigns \/ Is fired\t75<\/li>\n<li>Flees jurisdiction\t75<\/li>\n<li>Turns state evidence\t75<\/li>\n<li>Prosecuted for a crime \/ Prosecutes another player for a crime\t75<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are many more stats and some that I question the low value of such as \u201cFabricates information\/Reveals another player\u2019s fabrication of information\u201d as only 10 points.  The fabrication of information can of course lead to overwhelming consequences, so I feel it should be worth more.  Or perhaps in the new world order, information fabrication is far too normalized to be worth much\u2026<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s tough to select a team, do you go for the most outspoken that may be out of the game sooner than later such as Bannon or the sleazier ones that may play the long game such as Devin Nunes?  And why are Eric and Donald Jr Trump one figure?<\/p>\n<p>With the current 29 players, I would select the following seven:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Steve Bannon<\/li>\n<li>\nKellyanne Conway<\/li>\n<li>\nDevin Nunes<\/li>\n<li>\nJared Kushner<\/li>\n<li>\nRex Tillerson<\/li>\n<li>\nVladimir Putin<\/li>\n<li>\nand Donald Trump himself<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don\u2019t play fantasy sports, not because I wouldn\u2019t enjoy it, but more so because I\u2019m not enough of a sports fan.
