Funny coming from the spokes-hag for the Make Murika Great Pretender…

It was retribution from a petulant child…

All Trump had to do was testify under oath to Congress and he would have cleared up EVERYTHING in one perfect visit to the Capital! And I mean everything.

NSC officials are routinely escorted with no notice by security from the White House grounds, later to be publicly disparaged and vilified by the President. Happens all the time. It’s in the HR manual. Look it up.

Yeah, what did Sondland expect for only $1 million? He’s lucky Trump sent him to Brussels and not one of those shit-hole countries, she added.

“They didn’t get fired, they just got relocated.”

Kinda like Alexander Solzhenitsyn and 18,000,000 other Gulag guests merely got “relocated”.

Gotta give Kellyanne credit, George Orwell couldn’t have made it more clear. Up is down, War is peace, Truth isn’t Truth…

Oops, that last one was one of Rudy’s

“Reassignment” doesn’t include being escorted out by security. That was done as an attempt to embarrass Vindman.

Trump was advised Vindman and Sondland were going to leave on their own. He fired them needlessly because he once had a TV show where he fired people. He’s still in a reality show, only with a much larger, global audience. He actually told his aides to treat each day as if they were in a reality show.

Before they were fired, Gordon Sondland & Lt. Col. Vindman were quietly planning their own exits. Officials told Trump this was likely, & advised him to just let them leave on their own to spare himself the criticism of firing witnesses, but Trump disregarded that advice.

if 30, 40 or even 50% of the voting population even remotely believes the crap coming from this administration, we are so royally screwed coming into an election that will be, to say the least, manipulated to the extreme by the very same.
It’s going to take a revolution of some kind to end this destruction of our country.
Bigger than voting

Pretty fucking funny Donald described his calls as perfect with perfect in quotations…too fuckin dumb to know that means they were in name only! Funny how about the only times he’s truthful he doesn’t mean to be.

I remember when it seemed remarkable that KAC would tell you things were the exact opposite of what they obviously were to your own lying eyes.

Next thing you know, KAC will be telling us that it was an honor guard, not security.

What’s even more apparent is how retaliatory this action was and how they escorted Vindman’s twin brother out the door for absolutely no logical, professional or legally grounded reason. It was all done out of total vindictiveness and petty retribution against a government employee that tRump in his delusional and feeble mind simply doesn’t like or trust. That’s not acceptable under any circumstances.

Of course he did, and now his spinners are trying to rationalize his irrational behavior. He is not well.

They don’t believe it, for the most part. They just like watching shit burn. They’re nihilists.
