On the other hand, Trump doesn’t just want his orders carried out, he wants the world to know that everyone is jumping to his command, wants everyone to see his power and glory. He isn’t afraid of pushback. He’s been explicitly told that he can, in fact, do anything he wants, and Republicans, the Justice department, nobody, will stop him.
I believe Barr’s ego is hurt because Trump won’t pay heed.
I believe Barr should be smart enough to know that this is not a bug, it is a feature.
Behold the canonical list of Trump administration dismissals and resignations, which also includes standard retirements and promotions so we can’t just analyze the whole list to see which executive departments and independent agencies have seen the most turnover. And I’m too lazy to dig out the causes. Still, I can only wonder: who’s next?
I sure wish the US had a Deep State. Then the nation wouldn’t be in this mess.
So what, look up Obama’s tenure, he changed all the ambassadors and others.
“Lots of people go into banks to withdraw money - how are they different from me, just because I did it at gunpoint?”
Yeah, how about we look at actual numbers:
Trump Has Now Had More Cabinet Turnover Than Reagan, Obama and the Two Bushes (And that was as of last summer, after just 2.5 years in office.)
38% of President Trump’s “A Team” departures have undergone serial turnover as of Feb. 14, 2020
That was extremely interesting. Thank you for sharing it.
Ambassadors and prosecutors are regularly replaced by a new administration. Firings and resignations of large batches of cabinet and agency officials and staff are uncommon. Rewarding domestic and war criminals is also uncommon. I didn’t see either in the Obama or Clinton years. NOTE: I did not vote for Obama, or any Clinton or their krew. No, Obama was hardly a perfect president. But his toe-jam is classier than this POTUS.
TDS
I’d say your refusal to recognize the factual sequence of events (laid out in post #115) regarding Vindman’s actions is “TDS”.
This argument is the equivalent of yelling “ARGLE BARGLE” while sticking your fingers in your ears; satisfying to you, but unpersuasive to anyone else.
Trump threatens to sue his investigators and demands Roger Stone case be ‘thrown out’
Trump: ‘My lapdogs didn’t convict me, so everyone else who was convicted is totally innocent. And since they’re innocent… totally innocent… that PROVES I did nothing wrong!’
Right…people Hate a Trump no matter What. They will vote for Bloomberg, a rasist(proven) sexist, tyrant because they figure he can beat Trump. I didn’t vote for a Trump, not my deal. But I love the USA ( after living in multiple, socialists, dictatorships and not free countries) more than I hate a Trump.
The Daily Show?
TDS = Trump Derangement Syndrome.
I posted this over in the Clusterfuck thread but it also can go here:
Purge continues: Top Pentagon official connected to Trump Ukraine scandal is out
They were talking about Obama, not Bloomberg. The TDS does exist, but not in the way you think. It is deranged behavior when almost all Republicans tell us that the embodiment of the 7 deadly sins is better than the alternatives.
Which ones?
