Last December, the Washington Post claimed: Trump must dump Michael Flynn

In the 1964 movie “Dr. Strangelove,” the part of Brig. Gen. Jack D. Ripper, described in Wikipedia as a “paranoid ultra-nationalist,” was played by Sterling Hayden. If the movie was made today, the role would go to Michael T. Flynn — on the face of it as much a paranoid ultra-nationalist as the fictitious Ripper. Flynn, though, is no fictional creation. He’s Donald Trump’s choice for national security adviser.

Flynn, a former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency and a retired lieutenant general, is already known for his bizarre tweets, not to mention his bizarre management style. (He was ousted by the Obama administration for the way he ran the DIA and for his odd judgment.) He was always an inappropriate choice for national security adviser, a post so powerful that it vies with secretary of state in influencing the president on foreign affairs and national security.

I hate to think how Flynn will be remembered. He is already known for believing that Islamic law was spreading in the United States and for claiming that Hillary Clinton was somehow responsible for the attack on a U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya. Now, though, the New York Times reports that Flynn posted on Twitter a phony report that New York’s police and prosecutors “had found evidence linking Mrs., Clinton and much of her senior staff to pedophilia, money laundering, perjury and other felonies.”

One by one, each member of the Trump administration will be branded “the most evil man in the world” and they will all be targeted. It just won’t stop.

Which is why Trump has to stop caring about this stuff. Next time? Wait for a trial. Wait for a conviction. After the sentencing, THEN announce that guy has left the Trump administration. Not before.

Without question, the Washington Post is not just part but a principal actor in insurgency to takedown the current government.

The Washington Post is treasonous and all powers of the federal government, including the Justice Department and the Pentagon must be used to quash their actions.

Trump made a mistake on sacking Flynn. It bothers him greatly. He has much on his plate but he should never get pushed around like an old woman again.

“One by one, each member of the Trump administration will be branded “the most evil man in the world” and they will all be targeted. It just won’t stop.”

Trump must dump Flynn, Miller, the other Miller, Gorka, Bannon, Conway, Sessions, and then they’ll be happy.

Wait, we forgot Ivanka, Eric and Don, Jr. ... that’s it, for now.

Trump fired Flynn because Flynn lied to Trump. There’s nothing complicated about it. Sessions did not lie to Trump. If he did or does he will be fired. There’s nothing about the Fake News that is going to have anything to say about it

They were treasonous under Nixon.

Nothing has changed except the threat to “their Leftist ideology” which trumps individual citizens, their safety, their votes, the election processes, the leaders they elect, our courts, our Founding Fathers, their founding documents they handed down, and the very existence of our nation.

F the Washington Post and every single one of it’s employees, who couldn’t care less about what type of an evil soul-less enterprise they work for.

That goes for every other person in this nation who is intent on destroying our president and prevent him from reaching the goals we elected him to attain on our behalf.

I was sickened to see Flynn have to go, but I trust Trump knew something he wasn’t blabbing to us about, by sharing it with us in play by play detail. Part of it may well have been to protect Pence from being tagged a patsy of some kind. And, Flynn had not been straight forward with Sean Spicer “and others”, either, according to Spicer at a press conference, beyond only Pence. Pence was the one who had carried water for Flynn’s story.

Now, Jeff Sessions situation is different. I was sorry to hear him give an inch for the sake of an investigation without a case, without evidence, without witnesses, but only noisy accusations.

We better be praying against an array of really evil forces surrounding this president and his administration, his residence and his family.

Why he has not cleaned house of Obama hold overs, before now, I’m sure I don’t know. We are drowning in Enemy activity, but this is a spiritual battle to be fought on our knees, above all else.

Funny how the leftists conveniently forget Flynn was a democrat when making up all these insults about him.

In the heat of moment and fast pace of what was happening at the time; it’s possible Flynn forgot something and lied unintentionally. It can happen under the right circumstances.

What bothers me is when the rabid, hate-filled, pus-minded, camel dung smelling, leftists get their way. They don’t ever deserve that.

If we could look down into their soul all we would see is a very dark black husk of something that was possibly human at one time but has not been since they were taken over by the dark side of leftism with all the good burned out of them. Their hatred being all consuming has left them without the ability to feel anything. Not love, nor regret, nor shame, nor sense of doing something wrong. They can’t feel any of it so nothing is off the table for them.

Nothing. They are by definition mentally disturbed psychotic psychopaths. They appear to even be proud of it. Curious. Maybe it’s something Satan allows them to feel, along with all the other bad emotions like smarmyness and a feeling of being better than others since they can’t feel anything else. Something for better/smarter minds than mine to figure out. Maybe that’s why all they really know is snark. Well; that and to repeat their leftist talking points for the day/week/month ad nauseum.
