Seriously, who gives a s--- about Afghanistan?" Trump said, according to Guy Snodgrass, a retired US Navy commander and Mattis' former speechwriter. "So far we're in for $7 trillion, fellas ... $7 trillion including Iraq. Worst decision ever and we're stuck with it."

Snodgrass, who was assisting Mattis with PowerPoint slides for the president, said he prepared his presentation by taking into account Trump's tendency to dislike slides with "too much information."

Instead of using complicated military information in the briefing, Snodgrass opted for the "more straightforward approach: just pictures," he said.

White House Infosec team chief quits and many more also plan to quit or will soon be let go

quote:

"It is my express opinion that the remaining incumbent OCISO staff is being systematically targeted for removal from the Office of Administration," departing White House network defense branch chief Dimitrios Vastakis wrote in the memo. The security team had seen incentive pay revoked, scope of duties cut, and access to systems and facilities reduced, Vastakis noted. Staffers' "positions with strategic and tactical decision making authorities" had also been revoked. "In addition, habitually being hostile to incumbent OCISO staff has become a staple tactic for the new leadership... it has forced the majority of [senior civil servant] OCSIO staff to resign."

That the Representatives involved were violently forcing their way into the SCIF, rather than sitting around eating pizza. The addition of the false dichotomy between a violent protest and Occupy Wall Street in his tweet does tie a pretty bow on it all.

Peaceful protest is eating pizza (and being an old white dude). Forceful protest is snapping fingers in a circle.

Isn't this kind of what happened when the Obama administration entered the White House? I think the Bush admin was so full of old luddites that anything IT related in the White House was in total disarray when they left it to the next admin.

the similarities between this entire administration and my divorce have been honestly striking. One has really helped me to understand the other.
