You get this at every level of management, in government or out. If you can't carry out the directives the door is over there.
What a radical concept lol.

The hysteria of the left apparently knows no bounds.

Surely some of them most hold jobs and understand these concepts.

Secretary of Defense just publicly disagreed with Trump's confiscate-their-oil approach.

Hope this doesn't mean a hasty end to his tenure as he seems to be the only sane, non-swindler in the bunch

He can fire or reassign his appointees any way he likes.

Apparently this guy was an expert in South American/Latin American affairs and didn't agree with Trumps approach. Maybe he should have disagreed up the food chain instead of in public.

As for Trump- removing the guy from that position may not be the wisest thing to do, but hey it's his circus and his monkeys.

this advisor his openly critical of Trump's proposals of immigration enforcement.

He doesn't want a wall on the border to stop massive illegal immigration and drug trafficking and he doesn't want deportations because he doesn't want to upset Mexico and the rest of Latin America.

Maybe he should work for Univision or Telemundo and be the co-anchor of Jorge Ramos because he sure doesn't belong in the W.H. administration in what Trump is trying to do.


yeah I call it hysteria.....its a mental disorder that spread quickly with the liberals on election night, you are another living proof of that.....

of course he has to be diplomatic and say in public we won't confiscate the oil used by ISIS.

but in private, hell yeah! we are taking the oil and mop the floor with them.

we are at war with ISIS.......of course we will confiscate their resources and money! DUH! I know for liberals is not politically correct because it might upset some in the Muslim world but that's how we deal with our enemies.

We confiscated German and Japan resources and oil during WW 2 and if we couldn't confiscated we bombed it.


Trump says it and Liberals get offended......they are like " how dare you say that, you know how many Muslims we are going to offend. You are helping ISIS recruit" LOL

Craig Deare’s ‘ethical and moral flaws’ make him unfit for NSC job. He should follow Flynn out the door.

“I was shocked to learn that Craig Deare is being considered for a key position on the National Security Council,” said Dennis Caffrey, a former dean at CHDS. “He has serious ethical and moral flaws.” Among those, Caffrey said, was Deare’s loss of his security clearance after it was discovered that he’d falsified a U.S. Army performance report while assigned to the staff of then-Florida Sen. Bob Graham, who at the time was chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee; Deare even used the office robo-pen to forge the senator’s signature... Deare’s personal relationships with high-profile military and civilian Latin Americans tied to human-rights abuses also raise questions about his fitness. One of his closet friends at CHDS was Jaime Garcia Covarrubias, a former senior adviser to Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet and allegedly a member of the DINA state intelligence organization linked to some of the worst human-rights crimes of the Pinochet regime."

Craig Deare
The article in the Miami Herald that the above comes from is dated February 15, 2017. So, has he only been in the job for a few days? Seems like he should have been 86'd before he began. But, it doesn't sound like "criticism" is the reason why.
