Trump could kick out all these BAD Obama Nominees if he actually vetted his own goddamn nominees and NOMINATED people

He's not deconstructing the administrative state, he's neutering his own power. and bannon is too goddamn drunk and has his head too far up his own rear end to realize it.

These people would be dangerous if they weren't so loving stupid.

You're missing the whole show. The dems are a sideshow. They are the last thing in the chain of events.

The REAL poo poo is that people in the intelligence community are leaking poo poo on the regular to gently caress up Trump people. That is what is going on and it is almost unparalleled in the history of the US and it is fascinating as gently caress.

I mean the leaking seems more reactionary to me of the complete loving shitshow of this election and administration

like maybe Trump attacking the press and calling them fake and the enemy of democracy might have inspired some sort of reaction by civil servants

Mattis and others do as well. It's basically the "we gain nothing by losing a seat at the table" argument that trump probably intrinsically buys but then looks at Bannon frothing in the corner about jews and wonders if maybe we should just declare France an enemy of the state.

It's almost like whatever else they think and do, they're pretty goddamn resentful about Trump and his crew publicly putting them on blast

Who could've possibly thought the President Elect calling the CIA poo poo in defense of Russia might backfire

I don't think it's a personal vendetta for two reasons.

1.) This kind of leaking is actually incredibly damaging to the relationship between the president and the intelligence community. Whoever comes after Trump is going to be super cautious about everything having to do with the intelligence community. I don't think a personal vendetta would lead to such extreme actions.

2.) If you looked at what's leaked, it's always linked to two things: 1.) Russia and 2.) Trump's campaign. If the intelligence community was carrying out a totally personal vendetta bent only on harming Trump, they would be leaking other poo poo also.

So I think the conclusion I draw from this is that the people who are leaking either know he's an agent and are building a 'case' against him bit by bit in public, or the case is being assembled in private and information is being released as it's developed.

I personally think people in the intelligence community know he's an agent and what they are doing is slowly dismantling his power so that there's no chance he can remain president when they reveal all of their most damning evidence.

Why would people in the CIA give a poo poo about what the president says about the press? The leaking isn't a reaction to the election and the administration per se. All of the leaks center around either Russia or his campaign. If it was truly discriminant reaction to Trump being an rear end in a top hat, then they would release any sort of damaging poo poo they have.

whatever the gently caress it is, getting Flynn thrown under the bus and replacing him with McMaster is an insanely huge improvement even if it's still hosed up that Trump fills his cabinet with generals instead of civilians
