Apparently, when you work for President Trump, your job may simply never be “secure.”

Or maybe, the President is just a true believer in getting a constantly revolving, fresh perspective on the issues that he’s dealing with from day to day?

It seems clear that Trump is doing an overhaul of his staff. Likely because he wants to get more of his agenda done before the midterm. And he cannot do that with his current pro-Obama/pro-Hillary staff.

Well I don't blame him..you want people who share your vision,,that is his right

The swamp is deeper and wider than originally thought!

[Frank Cannon]

Oh no. Not McMaster. Now the entire Federal Govt' will grind to a halt if not the whole world.

BTW, what did this guy do again? I'm drawing a blank.

[Suppressed]

Yes, it is.

However, it's clear that he has misled the American people and/or overstated his qualifications.  He has either not hired only the best, or he is leaving us without "the best".

If every Trump supporter had the intellectual honesty to admit this and say, "Mr. Trump, you campaigned on conservative claims, and we're not going to give you a bit of attention until you act presidential, focus on the promises, and achieve what you promised,"

...and then not give him a bit of applause, attention, etc., not attendance at a rally, nothing...not until he changed...

...then we could perhaps achieve some things more major than fiat removal of some minor regulations, $1.5 trillion in debt, etc.




But, instead, we find them holding a blanket up to try to cover the giant ass with no clothes.

[aligncare]

Great. Trump has  had enough of these losers and is clearly applying a tighter grip on the reins. Now, if only Sessions would get his pink slip...

[Suppressed]

Well, we can say, "Trump was totally clueless about security issues around the world!" and if you believe that, then I guess he didn't do well.  But if you think Trump was well informed, then I guess he did a good job.


If you knew specifics, you'd be moaning about leaks.

[Frank Cannon]

Well you hate Donny so a supporter like me doesn't really care about your definition of "Conservative" or who and who isn't "the best people" (a throw away line in a stump speech no one except President haters cite). I will also point out that the people you hoist up as the truest true are as corrupt or more so than the way you describe the President. That is why you are forced to parrot the daily talking points being shoveled off the shit wagon called WaPo on a daily basis to make yourself feel relevant.

The world you claim to want to preserve never existed. Your arguments against the President are boilerplate Lib talking points. You cannot cite any tangible policies that the President has enacted up to this point that were to the left of Bush. Your a broken record reminding others that your political acuity is about as precise as the build quality of a Yugo.

I was about to post the same meme.

Whatever the reasons - the perception being broadcast and seen across the globe is that Trump's government is entirely unstable and chaotic.

It's obvious that whatever Trump has said in stump speeches, in interviews, in rallies or wherever he utters a syllable - is only viable at the moment he said it and irrelevant the moment Trump begins a new sentence.  That goes for 'only the best people' that Trump has hired and put into leadership positions in his government.

Well considering you are bankrupt of decent ideas that are saleable to the the voters in the US and absolutely no viable candidates that are electable, looks like every one of your mutterances are moot before you hit the "post" button.....and that makes me feel good inside.

@PressSec

Just spoke to @POTUS and Gen. H.R. McMaster - contrary to reports they have a good working relationship and there are no changes at the NSC.

WSJ is saying they have sources confirming McMaster is still out, despite this tweet.  We’ll see if Sanders is being hung out to dry.

I know you don't care that Trump is pushing us down a slope into a leftist swamp by building one heck of a backlash against the GOP and conservatism, based on his phony branding, but let's go to your comment about W (someone I wouldn't call "conservstive").

Remember that time he called for boosting our borrowing by $1 trillion more?

Yeah, me neither.

Or called for suspending the first amendment protections, preferring the UK to the IS?

Yeah, Bush didn't.

Or said there should be paid leave guaranteed at the muzzle of government guns?

Yeah, that wasn't Bush, either.

Or spent every day doing his best to make this great republic look like a carnival freak show?

Yeah, not Bush.

But you're right.  Donnie has enacted so little, it's tough to find anything he's actually enacted, despite his deceitful bluster.  Good point.

[anubias]

Exactly.  Glad McMasters if finally gone.  Sessions can’t go soon enough for me.

See. You cannot cite one policy that Trump enacted that was Leftist. Just a bunch of quotes that no one cares about. You ignore the fact that the GOP you love so much refuses to do even the most basic things like eliminate Obamacare or cut spending.

If the GOP lost the House and Senate, would anyone know? Would anyone care?

I'll concede the fact that what passes for 'decent ideas' and sound principles are a no-sale in today's Amerika.  We have already been fundamentally transformed.

And what is a no-sale today in PA regarding abortion (as you stated on another thread) - will be a no-sale tomorrow when it comes to gun rights and freedom of speech and religion.

A little leaven, leavens the entire lump.

Another way of putting it is that a little Socialism and Big Government here - and soon - it's what everyone wants and expects and the ideas of limited government and personal liberty are discarded for more Statism.

And, the more chaos and uncertainty one creates - the easier it is to get people to accept whatever is promised to bring stability.

Sorry. This freedom you speak of is already gone thanks to a previous administration who presided over chaos and used it to craft some of the most restrictive and dangerous policies and agencies since Woodrow Wilson..........George W Bush.

So at what point is Trump going to be responsible for what the people he hires do?

It seems everyone is to blame except the guy who selected them...

At least they’re being chosen for good reasons.....


Several candidates have emerged as possible McMaster replacements, including John Bolton, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and Keith Kellogg, the chief of staff of the National Security Council.

Kellogg travels with Trump on many domestic trips, in part because the president likes his company and thinks he is fun. Bolton has met with Trump several times and often agrees with the president's instincts. Trump also thinks Bolton, who regularly praises the president on Fox News Channel, is good on television.

It's been a slow, incremental slide into oblivion I will grant you.

Some place it's genesis at 1865, others in 1913 and others since the Bushes and the stains that were the Clintons and Obama's.

Cannot say we are not warned in advance.

"But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty once lost is lost forever. When the People once surrender their share in the Legislature, and their Right of defending the Limitations upon the Government, and of resisting every Encroachment upon them, they can never regain it" - John Adams

"When virtue is banished, ambition invades the minds of those who are disposed to receive it, and avarice possesses the whole community." - Montesquieu as quoted by Thomas Jefferson

"It is only when the people become ignorant and corrupt, when they degenerate into a populace, that they are incapable of exercising their sovereignty." - James Monroe

Yeah. Amazing how Donnie's direct words are that offensive!
