Apparently Kelly just did. The First Lady's staff was supposedly frustrated with the W Wing staff.
Maybe Kelly just fired the source of the problem.
Big slap down for Bolton.
That Kelly had Ricardel fired not Melania? Really?
Of course, it does beg the question as to why Melania would have any involvement at all.
Ricardel apparently had some friction with Mattis over some hires he wanted to make that she blocked as being insufficiently loyal to Trump...they publicly supported HRC...
But Mattis is reportedly on the way out.
But first is our Homeland secretary, Kelly's protege...and Kelly's reportedly on the way out after her...
So, why Ricardel??? Over seating assignments on an Africa trip??? What the heck does that mean?
Did Melania want a chum sitting next to her or something...

So why do we need all that extra funding if the only additional thing we're doing is sitting out in the desert doing nothing? You know how much of a bureaucracy the military is, and how much wasteful spending there is.old salt wrote: Trump is funding the military, while the only deployment he's added has been to our southern border.
His chiding of our under-investing, under-deployable allies resonates.
Why do you feel our allies are under-invested and under-deployable? What have they needed to do that warranted additional spending?
Re: Orange Duce
We're not just sitting in the desert.

Our maritime deployment strategy has shifted, closer to home.
We're catching up on readiness, following a decade of under-funding & over tasking, replacing obsolete, worn out weapons systems.
Re: Orange Duce
Since when does Mel get to hire/fire national security staff?“It is the position of the Office of the First Lady that she no longer deserves the honor of serving in this White House,” Stephanie Grisham, the first lady’s spokesperson, said of Ricardel in a statement."
Also love the Marie Antoinette/off with her head tone. Sounds like the way you would off the housekeeper for pilfering the silverware.
Mel really thinks it is an honor to serve the Trumps???? You wonder why anyone in their right mind would go to work for these low class people.
Boycott stupid. If you ignore the gator troll, eventually he'll just go back under his bridge.

Re: Orange Duce
You were under-funded because the Rs didn't want to raise taxes or cut spending when it all started....everything had to be revenue neutral, again under the Rs. Now you got your money and more debt, under the Rs.old salt wrote:We're not just sitting in the desert.

We need to find a new complex, rather then the military industry...DoD needs to figure it out and live with less.

Re: Orange Duce
As of a month ago Trump's approval rating among active duty military was just barely above water, 43.8% approval to 43.1% disapproval. Would think given the south coast deployment and his total f*ck up over the long weekend, approval rating is probably underwater now.

White House is probably required to hire X number of people in their right mind in order to fill part of the minority hire quotas. That's a real minority hanging around with Prez Rain Dancer and pals.ggait wrote

For the second straight year Trump will not attend the Kennedy Center Honors celebration cultural achievement. He’s only president of his base and they don’t do culture.

And these are urban fires, not forest fires. This isn’t about cleaning brush. The Cali fire fighters ain’t happy with Duce threats to cut funds.
The US Forest Service defines the wildland-urban interface as the place where "homes and wildlands meet or intermingle", or more specifically, where "humans and their development meet or intermix with wildland fuel".
According to WBUR, inmates make up nearly 40 percent of California’s firefighters, saving the state $100 million per year.

Yes, I use the word "reportedly" because it's actually being "reported" as compared to your statements as if you actually know better. I don't, so I reference the open question that is being "reported". Such are not always accurate, but golly they've had a heck of a lot better track record than your pronouncements.old salt wrote:Reportedly, reportedly, blah, blah, blah.MDlaxfan76 wrote:So, you're saying that the reporting is wrong?old salt wrote:Yeah, & that was supposedly the incident that exasperated Trump, who blasted Kelly for not making the problem go away.

Don't get your hopes up based on what WH hacks leak to MSM hacks, just so they get today's bombshell by deadline.
Asked the question about Melania's involvement simply because her office actually made a statement. Pretty darn unusual, so what the heck does she have to do with it? Is it your hypothesis that Kelly wanted Ricardel out and he got Melania to make the statement? Really?
BTW, I'm not all "getting my hopes up" about Mattis getting pushed out or fed up. Quite the opposite.
