Don’t move the left around inside government. Fire them. They will commit mischief no matter where they are shuffled to, so fire them.

Something has to be done with these ambassadors. It appeared to me as if they were promoting THEIR policies instead of the Presidents. Difficult to hear them undermine President Trump with assumed, presumed, etc etc

WHY did it take so long?

WHY has Trump not fired just about every obammy appointee including flag officers? There can only be a few that are trustworthy. The losses of those that may be trustworthy and competent are just minor collateral damage. We’ll get over it and be better off.

Downsizing the NSC was supposedly on the front burner in 2016. Now we are a few months from the end of the Trump’s first term and it isn’t done? What the heck happened?

I still remember the gloat/boast that worshipful media breathlessly reporting Obama had > 300 ‘advisors’, including the likes of Clooney, etc.

It is incredibly difficult to fire or even rearrange people who work in government. I think We the People “lost” the day that government workers were allowed to unionize -— it set them up to be practically untouchable and working against us all the time. I suspect Trump came in thinking like a business man -— I’ll just fire them all. Well . . . Life for government workers isn’t structured that way. Should be -— but isn’t.

They should transition the Vindaman brothers from the NSC directly to GITMO. That would be a good first step.

Any and all holdovers should have been axed on Day One.

I believe a bloated NSC staff is evidence the person in the WH lacks self-confidence.
