You use that word ‘decisive’. I do not think you know what it means. -Inigo Montoya
See Plucky, that requires self reflection and analytical evaluation. None of which is a hallmark of the Trump White House.
Spicey, the WH wasn’t clear? So “Flynn has been compromised and is subject to blackmail by the Russians” isn’t clear enough? Obviously not if you’re boss that it was a good idea to keep him on another 2+ weeks and sit in on a call to your puppet master Putin.
And it only took 18 days and a kick in the ass by the Washington Post!
Remember when their line was “The leaks are real, but the news is fake” about Flynn being lying and compromised?
I just wonder how long the military can hold trump off from putting our forces into some (forgive me) trumped up war to distract from all this mess. They let him play with a few bombs but I can’t for the life of me imagine they would let him do anything on a big scale with the lives of our troops for some bullshit. I realize they are supposed to obey orders but I can’t see top brass letting him use them simply for distraction purposes.
And they did it only when the public found out Flynn lied to Pence about his Russia ties. So it appears Trump had no problem with appointing as his top security advisor someone he knew could have been a Putin spy, as long as Trump could keep it secret. So what else is Trump concealing from America.
Touche!!!
Unnecessary war, necessary distraction. Sad.
"repeatedly referring to her meetings with McGahn as a mere “heads-up.”
“Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention it, but we just found out the National Security Advisor is compromised by the Russians and repeatedly lied to the Vice-president about his contacts with a Russian spy. Just FYI. But anyway, who do you like in the Super Bowl this year?” The world according to Spicey…
Two things in all this mess stand out for me like a baboons behind. 1. How long were Flynn and trump paling around on the campaign trail while Flynn was “comprised” and 2. What accountability did pence have as leader of the transition team to head this off?
Translation: When forced to the wall, kicking and screaming…
It’s only a heads up if Yates comes over with Flynn’s head in her briefcase which appears to be the case.
And how long can McGahn last now? He’s a dead man walking unless he’s a real decision maker. They’ll back him to the hilt while they destroy Yates as a partisan and a lightweight. It’s so unacceptable
Flynn lost his job because he lost his security clearance. This isnt hard!
Just thinking about the big picture, Plucky:
She seems to end up in a great spot for next Administration appointments if Dems can win in 2020, eh?!
Unlike Spice Boy who is the model of clarity at all times, one who never needs a 2nd day grilling!
Maybe it’s just me, but I really think they fired Yates because she refused to enforce the stupid Muslim ban, not some stupid attempt to cover up Flynn ties to Russia. Trump really didn’t have to keep her on either way.
The Spicer Rule: “Logic dictates you don’t ask someone to come back and explain themselves a second time if they have done an effective job the first time.”
What does it say that Spicer has to come back EVERY DAY to explain himself?
“So I think logic dictates you don’t ask someone to come back and explain themselves a second time if they have done an effective job the first time. But again, I’m
notgoing to get into needling every little point about what happened.”
FIFLSS (fixed it for lyin’ Sean Spicer)
