Like a boss: Trump seeks out and listens to the military’s little guys
By Monica Showalter
FTA:
“I want to sit down with some enlisted guys that have been there,” Trump reportedly told advisers, according to Peter Bergen, author of “Trump and His Generals: The Cost of Chaos.” “I don’t want any generals in here. I don’t want any officers,” he added.
Enlisted members of the military may have been seen as better able to critique the war effort as their roles tend to place them closer to combat and the consequences of a command. Enlisted members are also less concerned with the day-to-day politics that might affect higher ranking officers.
Schiff Goes for Total Coup, Now Targeting Pence in Impeachment Effort
This fully comports with my "Flaming Bags of Dog Poop" theory of the House impeachment scam.
Tell me I'm wrong.
The Flaming Bags of Dog Poop Impeachment: Nancy sets fire to a flaming bag of dog poop at the front door of the Senate, but delays ringing the doorbell. This buys time for Schiff and Nadler to put together a second bag of flaming dog poop. Nancy sets up the second bag of dog poop at the back door of the Senate. Sooner or later, Nancy rings the front doorbell. Mitch stamps out the fire at the front door. Then Nancy rings the doorbell at the Senate's back door, forcing Mitch to track dog poop throughout the Senate. Mitch stamps out the second flaming bag of dog poop, getting his shoes even dirtier. (This seems to be the most accurate predicted plan for Impeachment.)
Fascinating progressive economic article that doesn’t want to blame Obama for his bad economy and doesn’t want to praise Trump for his good one, so meanders around the facts, complaining all the while.
