I think it was a mistake to attempt to exclude the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Director of National Intelligence from permanent seats at National Security Council meetings.
Do you agree?
This wouldn’t surprise me ..Mattis and Kelly are the adults.
Do you approve of the White House staff pulling end runs on General Mattis?
This is even more evidence that Mika and Joe have had some behind the scenes access.
People really need to stop saying everything is fake news just because it is something that isn’t favorable to someone in the Trump Admin.
Someone clearly overstepped on that Joint Chiefs of Staff thing. I couldn’t believe someone thought they would get away with it.
I trust President Trump 100%, he hasn’t let me down yet...
I read and remember that particular article. I also remember how Scarborough and Mika turned on Candidate Trump during his campaign to the nomination and I’m certain he does, too.
Candidate Trump stopped all communication and calls to their sorry show.
All I can figure is that President Trump has determined that he can get more from those two than they can get from him.
After this blurb today, we shall see.
I think that is media talk...you think “Mad Dog” would put up with that for 5 secs? No, neither do I...media again trying to make a story out of nothing...
BTTT!
Yeah, I have no clue what the deal is on that but it laid out a pretty good case. Then More info comes out that bolsters that case.
Who knows what Trump is up to but I have no doubt there are very real power struggles going on behind the scenes.
Mad Dog isn’t going to put up with the shenanigans we just saw about the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
That is a very young White House staff. I would like to see pictures of all past staff and Trump’s to compare.
Do you understand what happened? The play has already been made. Mad Dog wasn’t having it. It has been changed as I understand it.
I love that picture. The Obama White House staff looks like an pharma advertisement for a constipation drug.
So you are saying the story about Bannon and Joint Chiefs of Staff was fake news?
I have to go look at that.
What someone should say to the ‘unimportant media people’ who think they run this country is ‘B.S. walks, don't cash checks your butt can't cash’...media of any type now days isn't worth the cost nor the energy to pay any attention to it...
When President Trump says something I listen...
That was my initial thought as well.
After consideration though, there is some usefulness to placing your administration staff members in the limelight and see who stumbles prior to being in a situation and having that same person fall flat.
WH put out a memo.
Bannon in..Joint Chiefs of Staff and DNI out except
when
“The Director of National Intelligence and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff shall attend where issues pertaining to their responsibilities and expertise are to be discussed”
that is a diminished role
I don’t think Mad Dog and that side are going to tolerate that.
There’s a companion pic to that which includes ValJar and I think Susan Rice, among others. The two pics are simply priceless for the shock and awe evident on the faces, and were taken the day after the election IIRC.
Politicsusa is VERY far left and I just never count on its articles being accurate. Bias there tends to dominate, so take anything there with a grain of salt. Maybe a large does.
That may be but I encourage you to read that article and then look at the access that Mika and Joe have had.
Just because it is far left ...doesn’t mean there isn’t meat there.
