Yet Another Trump Resignation

[Bazile]

Has there ever been an administration where there has been so many
resignations / sackings ?

And only in the first term

[ichkeria]

Brett McGurk?
It’s what happens when have people who have the first clue about what they are doing work for someone who doesn’t.

[ToraToraTora]

Trump has resigned? missed that!

[Peter Pedant]

HI Itch
have a good christmas

saddo article in the FT this week end on what happens to these people - they dont have careers

like the one who told Eden not to invade Suez - he resigned as an arabist in the cabinet, was kicked out by his local consitutency, and became a hack I think
Adviser on the Crown where the suez crisis is painted in modern colours

the special prosecutor of Clinton ( he was acquitted ) said that was why he didnt get to .... the supreme court

gove will forever be known as the fella who stabbed someone in the back, a second in the front, and couldnt dispatch a third one as he had run out of places to stab people

[Peter Pedant]

all Abers firing on six cylinders I see this evg

[TonyV]

Do they walk or are they pushed?

[ichkeria]

Merry Xmas Peter.
What infuriates is not the Trump supporters. They say stuff you’d expect and good luck to them. It’s the so called liberal commentators who think that there is some sort of method in his madness.
There isn’t. All I can see is someone who genuinely ain’t got a clue mate ;-)

Hi again
//There isn’t. All I can see is someone who genuinely ain’t got a clue mate ;-)//

Nixon spent so much time on watergate ( up to 95% of the waking day) that he didnt have time to govern - but his underlings did a good job

here Trumps underlings are junping ship
but the gt american govt doesnt seem to be going under - tooearly to tell? if you give up afghanistan then it will take a few years for the liberated to reach Europe and America ('we have never taken Syrian refugees') and give us a taste of their liberation

erdogan is a muslim brother and if the ammericans leave the Kurds then the Turks will massacre the Kurds ( again ) but does that affect us?

chou en lai was asked about the effect of the Fransh revolution and said - it is too early to tell

[ichkeria]

Of course it transpires that Chou thought he’d been asked about 1968 not 1789 ...

[youngmafbog]

Draiing the swamp. Good, need some of it here about 600 of them to go.

The turnover of White House staff is record breaking,with many holding Office for the shortest time ever. The list so far is:

James Mattis
John Kelly
Matthew Whitaker
Nikki Haley
Jeff Sessions
Don McGahn 
Scott Pruitt 
David Shulkin.
Andrew McCabe
Rex Tillerson
Gary Cohn
Hope Hicks
Rob Porter
Omarosa Manigault Newman
Richard Cordray
Stephen Bannon
Anthony Scaramucci 
Reince Priebus
Sean Spicer
Walter Shaub
Michael Dubke
James Comey 
Katie Walsh
Michael Flynn
Sally Yates

No wonder there is instability and chaos around the 45th President.

draining the swamp? ymb, who exactly hired these ones in the first place?

[Peter Pedant]

// Of course it transpires that Chou thought he’d been asked about 1968 not 1789 ...//

o god didnt know vat! big fave in china nowadays as he managed to turn away the excesses of the Revolution ( whitewashing 17 th century murals and so on )

surely now Trump shold be holding a roll call each morning see who has jumped ship during the night

[ichkeria]

Don’t disturb him lol
Well only get another “well anyway if he’s offending the right on brigade he must be doing something right” possibly to the tune this time of “Oh little town of Bethlehem”

[Peter Pedant]

// Draiing the swamp. Good, need some of it here about 600 of them to go.//

when trump wanted to drain the swamp, he wasnt talking about culling his own lot

when Flynn was appointed for 23d way back when,
Obama told Trump he couldnt appoint him as he had had illicit meetings with the Russians, undeclared meetings, had lied about them to the FBI
but trump went ahead and did so

[ichkeria]

The only possible reason I can see for Trump “draining” a swamp is simply to make way for his own hippos

[DTCwordfan]

With 63 million having voted for the Bouffant, he has plenty to chose from......

[Peter Pedant]

do you think any English politician could get elected with: 'I am gonna shoot all the Men at the Ministry' ?

we dont look on politicians as 'the good guys' a lot of the time ( most of the time ) standing up for the liddle fella

[Gromit]
