    Well, since he seems to hire a lot of incompetent and/or corrupt aides, it's likely to be "very often".

    Why do they keep sending her out to these interviews? She looks like she's been crying all week.

    Really! A lot? I guess you speculate. How many did Obama fire? Petraeus is the only one I remember.
    Should have done Holder for selling arms to the cartels, Clinton for using an insecure server, Clinton for botching Benghazi, Somebody at the IRS for... Well you get the picture

    According to the NY Times, Flynn may have lied to the FBI during investigation.

    Flynn, you may recall, led the "lock her up" chants during the 2016 campaign.
    He is also the person who claimed that signs were posted in Arabic in the Southwest desert to guide terrorists coming across the Mexican border, citing no evidence. But none was needed since, according to Kellyanne Conway, there was no proof the signs were NOT there, even though no one had seen them. But the best cabinet, the smartest, highest IQ, most wonderful cabinet ever.

    Congressman Devin Nunes, chair of House Intelligence Committee, said there would be no investigation,. Yesterday he said it was a lot of nothing and Flynn would keep his job. Today he cites executive privilege. Jason Chaffetz, chair of he House Oversight Committee, refuses to answer questions. He is, however, planning another investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails.

    Sure, I'm speculating that people with no experience at something might be incompetent at it.

    How good a job do you think I'd do building a boat, given that I don't know shit about boats? And how is that different than, say, Ben Carson leading HUD?

    Well, he fired Michael Flynn...

    1. It's not automatic. Flynn was a psycho, so almost anybody would be better. (And I actually quite like Mattis.)
    2. Even if I don't, Flynn is still down. Him being replaced doesn't equal him getting back up.

    I think it will be interesting to see how many at the CIA get fired for leeking they Flynn story. Not only is it breaking the law to record the conversation, they were so hot to burn Flynn, they gave up the
    in they had to listen in on the Russians.

    There is a nest a rats yet to be exposed.

    I think that is a fact. It might even have been his function. He didn't seem like a National Security Advisor to me. That would be a Condoleezza Rice type. A hard ass General doesn't fit the mold.
    They sure snapped up the bait.

    Trump cannot hold his own in a chess match with the Russian intelligence service....talk about out of his depth...all he really has is a red hat with a slogan

    Is that an in-depth analysis? Or maybe Jack Daniels aided critique?

    Little of both but leaning more towards the Shiraz ending with Christian Brothers Brandy on the rocks.....in depth might be a stretch...I like to watch the meltdown from the comforts of sanity

    Not hard to figure at all.
    Obama came with a whole list of shit he was going to do to me. He started down the list, electric bills went up to beat hell, I lost my healthcare package which took me 35 years to earn... aw fuck it, too painful to list it all. Trump doesn't have that sort of plan, like to fundamentally fuck up my world.
