Discussion: Schiff 'Hopeful' Bannon Depature From NSC Will Bring 'Coherent' Foreign Policy

Not likely. Trump needs chaos. Worse, he enjoys it. Craves it. Coherent policy does not suit him. Besides, it would show even more clearly how out of this depth he is.

We’ll have a coherent foreign policy when President Schiff is sworn in. :smirk:

ā€œI’m hoping that the shake-up we’re seeing, with McMaster taking more control of the National Security Council, will result in a more coherent policy before we have too many more crises at our doorstep,ā€

It won’t.

Hope is never a good strategy. Never was, never will be. Especially with Hair Chaos in the White House.

ā€œHope They’ll Changeā€ is not a good strategy.

Sorry, Adam. Removing the disturbed right hand man without removing the disturbed boss solves little.

I keep hoping I might have a winning lottery ticket someday too. That stands about as much chance of success.

Think Trump panicked over Syria. It was Bannon’s pet project.

There are a few more that would have to be booted off the island to make coherence possible. Quite a few more.

Foreign policy is coherent. Countries that have something to offer to Trump or Kushner get first rate treatment, countries that don’t get insulted and threatened. Rex Tillerson deals with the rest.

It’s not about Bannon world views, it’s about making Jared Kushner the richest man on earth.

It would have been a good time for McMaster to say ā€œHe goes or I go.ā€ Another profile in courage.

Hopefully they pulled Bannon’s security clearance which is held on a ā€œneed to knowā€ basis…little Stevie never should have been given a clearance in the 1st place.

What is up with the navy Seal training that we keep producing these right wing crazy idiots like Bannon and Tm Cotton and Montana’s Zinke?

Bannon and Breitbart have a lot of ties to Moscow and the RT and Putin’s FSB counter intelligence and foreign propaganda programs in the US, Western Europe, and Japan.

A coherency of any kind out of trump is about as likely as every person in America receiving $1,000,000 cash in small denominations in a box delivered by Fed-Ex from the White House.

That trump has a security clearance is scary enough all by itself

I’m not hopeful it will change anything at all. I think it’s a blatantly superficial change intended to mess with the revelations about Cohen-Watkins and Ellis and the obvious politicization of the NSC that was going on and that Bannon will still be pulling the strings. But I get it, Schiff is playing nice.

Note to Schiff and the rest of the Dems: STOP. PLAYING. NICE.
