Who does Trump have to take over? SOMEBODY has to be on duty at 12:02.

I'm still confused about whether Trump's people accepted his resignation flat-out, or with the request that he stay on through inauguration day, and that the general refused the latter offer.

But whichever is true, the general's attempt to sound mystified by the whole process doesn't speak well of his character. Based on this and the details of his career, he sounds like an affirmative-action general.

"Selective reporting is FAKE NEWS and is designed to spin the story at the whim of the editors."

It is the media's greatest weapon, since actual falsehoods can be exposed, and the media know the public will only tolerate a certain number of proven falsehoods.

So the main weapon is selective reporting: deciding what and what not to report, and which facts within a story to report or not report.

The way I read the story was:

This General was a Bush appointee, Obama kept him...

PE Trump offered to keep him, but the General decided he didn’t want to stay...

The WaPo left out the part that PE Trump offered for him to stay, so he accepted his resignation...so then the General either went to the ‘press’ and said blah, blah, blah and so the story ‘fake news’ got out that PE Trump was making him leave at 12:00, which it takes 3 minutes to accept the Oath of Office, so the General lied and the WaPo lied...

That’s the way I see it...

That somebody (including a person who may be one of many affirmative action picks) was appointed BY Bush from a group of people selected BY other Bush insider appointees does not mean they are the “best and the brightest” . Bush I AND Bush II did not make as many deliberate mistakes and bad choices as Obola’s insiders did, but they had twice as long to make as many near-as-bad mistakes.

To copy a phrase made infamous by another Washington DC insider.

On January 20th, Trump should bring up what he did in his Speech. Let everybody know that he was asked to stay on, but instead chose to walk off the job leaving everyone there in danger, and then falsely report to the press that Trump asked him to leave. Then say from now on, these games people play to divide our nation are going to have serious life-long consequences.

It’s disturbing, this late in the game and after Trump has clearly shown that the GOP is nothing more than the jovial punching bag used to fool the rubes into thinking that they have a choice when they go to the polls, that so many good hearted FReepers insist on sticking to the old script.

There is but one party in DC. It hates Trump and Trump supporters.

The Chicago Tribune is blaming Trump now. I’ve read several articles on this, and the media is making it Trump’s fault. I always read comments, and it’s sad...many people are saying he doesn’t want a black general there. Guess what? His replacement is a black general, but the haters don’t know that. They just run off their uninformed mouths.

The incoming general was promoted by Obama a year ago. He is a Chicago native

It was Bush who gave us the biggest affirmative action disaster of all time... that would be the Kenyan Usurper himself. And it was Bush who called Bill Clinton his “brother from another mother” during the last election campaign. Being a “Bush appointee” is nothing to brag about in my book. I mention it because we have 16 years of political appointees at least to purge from the system. That this clown basically volunteered to be numero uno does make him a footnote in Trump's legacy.

Wow, thanks for the ping. When I first read this story yesterday, I knew there had to be more to it. WaPo sucks! And so does Schwartz. Again we have the fake news machine fully exposed, though the uninformed who only follow msm news outlets will never know the truth about this.
