I guess it's easy when you believe you're the smartest, bestest person that ever trod the earth and have the power to fire anyone who disagrees.

Trump is already looking to be massively successful. Dems have a bad map in 2018 which will lead to more Republicans in power. Liberals are dying more and more everyday and they don't realize why.
I keep asking you guys this and get no answer, other than signing his name what has he actually done? All these EO he signed still need congress to become full laws, so what has he actually done? ACA still around, wall still has no real plan or funding,

I entirely hope so. I voted Republican in my first two Presidential elections. I didn't like Obama and liked what I heard from McCain and Romney. The issue is I look at Trump and see an evil, lying, hateful, hypocrite. I can't stand for that.

Spicer made a bold and lengthy attempt to do so on George Stephanopoulos's show this morning. Some bull **** about Bannon being a necessary information filter between all the intelligence and the president.

The average spoken words per minute for a fast talker is 180. Spicer is averaging 250 WPM with his answers. A veritable cascade of diarrhetic expulsion. All of it, meaningless obfuscation.

Does anybody here actually know what the NSC does?

I admit I have no freaking clue.

" Since its inception under Harry S. Truman, the function of the Council has been to advise and assist the president on national security and foreign policies. The Council also serves as the president's principal arm for coordinating these policies among various government agencies"

From Wiki. Pretty much sums it up

Which is why some are now referring to Spicer as "Sphincter"...LOL

Elevating Bannon is akin to a Democratic president elevating Maddow to the position.

Dropping the JCoS and intelligence is downright scary.

Sounds like the acts of a scared man. Very Nixonian of Trump, I fear this.
