I agree with you about the time and the place. I also think that the person he is berating publicly must be considered. I read “Let Trump be Trump” which I enjoyed as a walk down memory lane to the election and for some insights into Trump. I was surprised to read about his outbursts and public berating of people. He is a good learner so I expect to see him be more effective with this.

Either that or you really are that dense and out of touch

“I remember the one and only instance after boot camp where a senior NCO got in my face and gave me a dressing down for something that if called trivial would be overstating its significance. After he finished venting I politely told him that if he ever addressed me in that manner again he had best make sure he has an appointment with the base dentist first. He avoided me thereafter.”

We all renember that kind of crap. Most everyone figured out it was a BS game and went along with it. “Yes sir, no sir or I don’t know sir but I will find out” and everything pretty much got fixed.

Trump should demand that his team make the country secure.

John Kelly, Trump’s COS!

Personally, I like the fact that Trump is willing to get on his people. His staff needs to be comprised totally of people who will, in their jobs, go to the wall to support him and his policies. I’m just sad that he’s unable to find enough people like that. His process of getting good senior staff should be laid at the feet of Bitch McConnell, because I believe that Trump is compromising on some appointments because Bitch will not allow them to be approved by the Senate. Get rid of that worthless, backstabbing f*cker and things would go into high gear immediately.

Don’t staffers at this level sign letters of resignation upon being appointed to their positions, and serve merely until their supervisors accept their resignations just by applying the appropriate dates of acceptance? That is my understanding.

NY Times sews discord and division whenever wherever possible in all matters Trump.

> “Of course, some weasel at the meeting has to leak to The NY Times ...”

No. There is no leak, there is only lie.

Tyler Q. Houlton, a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security, disputed that Ms. Nielsen had drafted a resignation letter and was close to resigning, calling those assertions “false.”

The NYT has effectively reported that it is reporting fake news. I suppose that is an improvement.

the commie owners of the NYT could save themselves a lot of money
by firing their socalled ‘reporters”/writers

and
just running past anti=America, anti-DJT artices
over and over and over and over again

...the readers would never be able to tell the difference

That would be Kelly. You know, the guy everyone was calling a magnificent bastard a couple of months ago.

The only reason the Times writes this crap is to sell clicks.

Please consider that this is completely made up to create turbulence in PDTJ’s team.

ignore the “fake news” and scrutinise the writers.

Michael Shear is in the Podesta emails, of course, seeking positive fluff on Obama:

Wikileaks: Fwd: obama / tim cook
Press req from Michael Shear NYT (deep background).
23 Feb 2016
Hey John, I know you’re busy, but if you’re looking for a quick, 5-minute respite from the campaign, you could call me on a totally different subject. I’m working on a piece on the relationship between tim cook and obama over the last few years. the visitor logs show you at one point met with Cook in the navy mess downstairs at the WW. i assume you had a chance to witness how they were together. not looking for quotes, which i know would be tough in your given position. but hoping that you might be able to just give a sense of how that relationship seemed to you, on deep background. possible? mike

Perlroth was early in the Russia collusion fantasy:

20 Dec 2016: NYT: How We Identified the D.N.C. Hack’s ‘Patient Zero’
By Eric Lipton
The Times had extensively covered the remarkable story of Russia’s effort to influence the election — with David Sanger and our colleague Eric Schmitt first breaking the news back in late July that the hack was almost certainly the work of Russian operatives (AFTER David and NICOLE PERLROTH had explored how the Russians were casting the Democratic convention into chaos)...

24 July 2016: NYT: As Democrats Gather, a Russian Subplot Raises Intrigue
By David E. Sanger and Nicole Perlroth
WASHINGTON — An unusual question is capturing the attention of cyberspecialists, Russia experts and Democratic Party leaders in Philadelphia: Is Vladimir V. Putin trying to meddle in the American presidential election?

Until Friday, that charge, with its eerie suggestion of a Kremlin conspiracy to aid Donald J. Trump, has been only whispered.
But the release on Friday of some 20,000 stolen emails from the Democratic National Committee’s computer servers, many of them embarrassing to Democratic leaders, has intensified discussion of the role of Russian intelligence agencies in disrupting the 2016 campaign...
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/25/us/politics/donald-trump-russia-emails.html

amusing to read both these NYT pieces, given what is now known.
