Sounds like a mess. And Trump knows about the mess.

Watch what happens in 10 days.

As General Spaatz once said: there are 4 kinds of people: me firsters, me tooers, deadwood, and the dedicated. Near as I can tell it’s all the first three categories. There is a small handful of the dedicated, but they are really small. And he also said that mefirsters - who are really smart, generally - have a nasty trick of appearing to be dedicated when they are just nothing but mefirsters.

With a few exceptions the NSC staff is borrowed from the agencies. Just send them all back and clear the place out. The “interagency” is a bizarre mess anyway. There is nothing more bizarre and headache inducing than seeing and NSC meeting up close and personal. You just want to call in an airstrike on your own position and end it all.

If Trump can’t do anything about this guy in this position then he should take his daily briefs and then go around him and bring in all the heads whose output goes into the daily brief and grill them as a regular thing and make sure that everyone understands that the first time any political gamesmanship is detected the charge will be called treason. “Intelligence” is nothing to play with. It’s dead serious.

“I wonder how many honest people there are in Washington D.C.”

Wasn’t this the question Abraham and God debated about the city of Sodom in the Genesis 18.23-33? At the end of the conversation God promised Abraham, ““For the sake of ten [righteous people] I will not destroy it.” His angels then went on to Sodom, told Abraham’s relative Lot to flee with his family, and then the city was destroyed.

First thing I thought of, too.

The second thing was, as Archie Bunker would say: "Lot's wife was turned into a pillow of salt."

“Somewhere amid the 1,500+ pages of legislative clutter in the latest Continuing Resolution—the bill apparently killed by public exposure alone—lies a provision so audacious, so shameless, I can only assume it was drafted by a cabal of Congressional career criminals. Section 605—a sterile title masking its true intent—amounts to nothing less than a legislative fortress erected to shield Congress from the Justice Department, the FBI, and, most troubling of all, accountability.”

Mike Turner is my Congressional Representative, he has been there forever and is a big advocate for sending money to Ukraine. Mike Turner was a big supporter of John Boehner and naturally Paul Ryan. Mike Turner has been tied to the intelligence community for years. He like most establishment Ohio Republicans is a “principled Republican” who opposes President Trump, he has been smarter than most as he hasn’t come right out and said anything. He did an interview on the old Tucker Carlson show where Tucker asked him why he was more concerned about protecting Ukraine’s border than our own especially when there was fentanyl coming across our border killing his constituents in small town Ohio. Mike Turner didn’t answer the question but went on about how important it was to fulfill our international obligations. Mike Turner would most definitely undermine or sabotage President Trump in order to secure the deep state agenda.

It doesn’t take an expert in intelligence to fire everyone currently working in that department. Someone maybe under the impression that Trump’s choice is to lead the department when maybe, just maybe the real task is a clean sweep. 🤔

For those unfamiliar with a profit make organization, sometimes it time to clear the boards and close it down. Owners hire experts to come in for that task. Welcome to the brave new management style boys and girls….

“Mike Turner is my Congressional Representative, he has been there forever and is a big advocate for sending money to Ukraine.”

Trump, for sure, won’t believe a damn thing Turner says regarding Ukraine, as Trump now understands the war and its causes - so Turner’s background will make him an NPC, at least on Ukraine.

It’s not like the good guys and the bad guys each wear uniforms (not talking about military uniforms).

It’s going to take some time to sort everyone out.
