Bizarre compared to what? Keeping incompetent, non supportive people in the white house for years and Years…just because they were once given a position.

Bizarre compared to putting the right people in place at the start.
Personally I feel it’s bizarre to people who aren’t used to the Presidency operating like a business.

Well run business do not have that kind of turnover. They could not survive if they did.

I’m open to see what might be done and I am happy about the Supreme Court Justice. I am pro life.

So am I, but is Trump truly pro-life, or just pro-appoint a conservative to the Supreme Court to pander to his electorate?

There is so much more to being pro-life than judicial appointments. Being pro life goes beyond conception. It also means being pro-healthcare, pro-education, pro-support for unwed mothers, pro-elderly… and supposes institutions to nurture life from conception until natural death, and a president who will bravely champion those causes even in the face of political hostility.

Imagine a nation-wide or even global institution that supports that.

Oh wait… that sounds like the Catholic Church.

It is beyond me how good Catholics can defend and even adulate someone like President Trump, so unconditionally in the face of such obvious incompetence.

I bet Kim Jong Un is taking notes.

One, they have no clue how business works and don’t realize that this isn’t normal.

Two, they only watch right wing ‘news’ sources, so they don’t really understand the full story.

Three, they have convoluted their religion and their politics to the point where they can’t distinguish one from another. The Vatican sees this plainly and is speaking out against it, but you can see on less well-moderated sites that many ‘Catholics’ think that Francis isn’t a real Pope anyway.

Not sure what made you think I thought Huckabee Sanders was fired.

I was speaking of Bannon.

That was a try at a joke. It was no surprise the President would let go of Mr. Bannon.

If he fires his press secretary, that would be news. I’d think he’d lost his mind. She is about as good at playing a difficult hand with a poker face as anyone I’ve seen. He does not want to lose her.

From Michael Moore, written almost a year ago–prescient, astute and trenchant:

"And now The Outsider, Donald Trump, has arrived to clean house! You don’t have to agree with him! You don’t even have to like him! He is your personal Molotov cocktail to throw right into the center of the b******s who did this to you
5 Reasons Trump Will Win


Another explosion (implosion) from the personal Molotov cocktail–the removal of Bannon.

Not only is this not normal in business, leading a country is much different than leading a business to begin with.

I have to agree with your previous post about the child 110%. I get it, Trump has probably received some bad publicity but man, a lot of the bad things is due to what he’s done.

I also agree, the victim card is getting old, used by his supporters

You know what’s getting old people always complaining about Trump about everything and nothing.

He’s not a CEO, but a president.

He doesn’t get to order people as a CEO does, because he doesn’t pay them. The taxpayers do through the Congress which appropriates spending.

Yes. He doesn’t seem to realize this. Or at least he didn’t, at first. As John McCain pointed out recently, Congress is not the president’s subordinate. They’re his equal.

The same goes for the judiciary. The president cannot give orders to a judge, period. They do not answer to the president.

It’s not so much because of who pays Congress, it’s because of the careful balance of powers built into our Constitution.

He deserves every single complaint he’s gotten. And he’s probably gotten away with more things we should be complaining about.

Don’t blame us, blame Trump who with his tweets and gaffs makes the headline news daily.

You might be surprised to know this, but, in businesses, we try to hire good people right from the get-go, not hire them and fire them six months later. You have a very interesting perspective on how business works.

My X husband was an audit partner at Deloitte and now CEO of a major company. That is true business and he did the same thing. On the flip side of the coin people who didn’t measure up, couldn’t properly excel in client relations were let go yearly and they found them a job with a client IF they were competent. If not they were let go which rarely happens.

Everyone simply wasn’t “cut out” for public accounting and not everyone who may seen well qualified is cut out for office in the government.

Does your company have a probationary period when hiring folks?

I must refer to EasterJoy’s apt analogy here.

This is like the mother grousing that “people always complaining about” her sweet little schnuck-ums, when her son is actually the most disruptive kid in the whole school.

Yes, Trump is everything you say he is PRmerger, in fact, if it weren’t for Trump, America would be great again, you know like it was under Obama.

Sarcasm is the protest of the week, josie.

I rarely use it.
