So Kelly didn't handle the problem?

[old salt]

Yeah, & that was supposedly the incident that exasperated Trump, who blasted Kelly for not making the problem go away.

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.

So, you're saying that the reporting is wrong?

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...

Reportedly, reportedly, blah, blah, blah.

Don't get your hopes up based on what WH hacks leak to MSM hacks, just so they get today's bombshell by deadline.

...or maybe Kelly lined up the firepower he needed to jettison Bolton's flunky & one of his & Mattis's primary PITAs.

Macron & the other NATO/EU free riders, seeking the benefit of sharing our cyberwar capabilities, ...gratis of course.

Trade parity & more equitable R&D burden sharing is their ticket to ride.

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.

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.

Why do you feel our allies are under-invested and under-deployable? What have they needed to do that warranted additional spending?

We're not just sitting in the desert. Trump's continuing the deployments he inherited in Afghanistan, Poland/E Europe, Syria & the Horn of Africa.
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.

“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."

Since when does Mel get to hire/fire national security staff?

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.

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.

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

Spend on our infrastructure and our education.

[HooDat]

Spend on our infrastructure and our education.

and especially infrastructure.

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.

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.

The French laid a wreath at Arlington yesterday.

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.

Back in reality world, Paradise California is urban. Umm....ok.

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.

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.

Hannity is at it again....after calling CNN Fake News, he mentioned there is a fight in the Democratic Party between the far left and the far far far left....and that "HILLARY CLINTON IS DEFINITELY MAYBE RUNNING FOR OFFICE IN 2020".....Definitely maybe..... got to hand it to Hannity....he knows his audience!

[cradleandshoot]

I don't give 2 figs about what Hannity says. When her royal majesty proclaims in public that she would like to be POTUS... maybe an off the cuff remark... maybe not... never ever underestimate the power of the Hilda beast... cussing1 angry4 angry5 bang1 bang1 angry8 angry4 angry5 The wrath of Hillary is the death of many lamps.
