Lar, President Trump is no empty suit, but the truth is, one man is one man.
To run a government you must have many people, all working for the same goal as the leader.
The fact is we have lost too many people who think as the POTUS does, and in their place, are people who think and work at cross purposes to the POTUS.
We, his base, are alarmed. One lost subordinate, two, three or five .... fine. But it seems as though it has become all of them. Now he is surrounded with ideological enemies.
How can this possibly work, how can it be beneficial to the goals we elected President Trump to accomplish?
The reality is, his base is alarmed. I'm one of the very first Trump supporters on Free Republic. I'm alarmed. You know me well to know I have been steadfast, and no Fainting Nelly am I.
But there is a time when quantity (of the losses) becomes it's own quality.

You nailed it, Laz. Yes, we are alarmed and rightfully so.
Now I’m waiting for the “You’re a Pearl Clutcher” and “You’re a Concern Troll” attacks.
You said it perfectly. When the entire political establishment is at war with you, you don’t need to be fighting your own staff.
Sheriff Joe pardoned

No big troop bukldul in Afghan.

Now, if this is McMaster/Jared “winning” then we ought to all be praying for more McMaster.
BTW, word is Gorka had a gun issue that was preventing him from getting the proper clearances, but I don’t have more detakls.
