Cabinet Shakeup
 

So... Rex Tillerson is out and Mike Pompeo has been named as the new Secretary of State - a guy that is openly in favor of regime change in NORK

Gina Haspel, the deputy director at the CIA has been named to succeed Pompeo at the CIA, becoming the first woman director.

I wonder how the pro-woman democrats are going to react?


Interesting moves

This is going to make the left squeal like pigs :lifter

Gina was the Station Chief for the Cat's Eye program in Thailand.
She likes WATERBOARDING..

Good for DT, breaking that glass ceiling I would think the feminists would be tinkled pink!

Now on to the next doing nothing Cabinet member. I nominate Sessions.

Sessions may have been ok if he had not started the job by reclusing himself from anything. The republicans made a big mistake when they allowed a special prosecuter to be named for the Russian witch hunt. They get in charge and do not know what to do, they think they can play nicey nicey with the dems who would never allow a special prosecuter to delve into any of their shenanigans which just happen to be real.

That her husband allowed her to take the job.

So...
Imagine the layout of the political checkerboard:

Rex Tillerson was the director of Exxon Neftegas way back when
Rex Tillerson supposedly didn't even contribute money to Trumps campaign
Rex Tillerson was up to his elbows in Russian oil money before he got into politics

POTUS hired him as the Secretary of State and kept him in place even as the entire DC establishment wailed and squealed about Russian collusion.
-POTUS told all of them to pound sand.
Russian collusion has been the go-to subject matter anytime the monkeys on the left are looking to throw their feces at someone...
...and a SecState with personal ties to Putin was just a big fuck-you to every single member of the establishment.

Sessions was supposed to clean up the trash in DC and as soon as Stuart Smalley started raising his voice, Session started to posture like an old frail dog rescued from the pound; then he recused himself from the Russia debacle - and the Democrats jumped at the chance to run the Justice Department for Sessions simply by making everything about Russia...
...and Sessions just sat back and recused away an entire year that he should have been going through DC corruption like Buford Pusser going through a gambling hall.

Now, the Congress has said they are shutting down the Russia probe - no collusion to find here - even while the POTUS had one of Putin's old drinking buddies covering down on the SecState gig - because, well, fuck a bunch of silly liberals.

The same time that the Congress says they are done wasting time on the Russia probe - the POTUS says farewell to his Russia connected SecState and replaces him with a fresh face. Tillerson can go back to work getting rich with the global oil.

Now that there isn't much of a Russian recusal excuse for not getting anything done, Session is going to have to shit or get off the pot - pronto. If I was Jeff Sessions, I would be spell checking my resume.
Who thinks that they will see some very public law-enforcin' being done by Jeff Sessions in the coming days? I expect to see Sessions start acting like an aging ballplayer on the last year of his contract, playing his ass off in hopes that he won't get released.

Shrillary Clinton, the wicked witch of the West-wing is out claiming that women who vote republican are nothing more than blindly oppressed automatons serving as voiceless, weak, timid, uneducated, domestic child-bearers dutifully serving their misogynist, racist, deplorable white husbands...
...and while the media is in free fall trying to paint the first female CIA director as an evil dominatrix that waterboards her clients, President Donald J. Trump is out in the sanctuary-state picking out walls like a new married couple picks out drapes



I love it when the establishment gets caught on their heels like this. Even Shepard Smith was tripping over his tongue today. I hope the POTUS manages to turn them all into dysfunctional alcoholics as they try to really figure him out!!
...I am hoping covering the Trump administration turns all of the establishment press corps and their political handlers into raging heroin addicts - giving blowjobs in the front seat of a rental car parked next to a smelly old dumpster just to pay for the drugs they need to make the emotional pain go away.

It is said by some that Tillerson was hired because of his oil background.

That background gave him an edge dealing with the leaders in the middle east. With a number of ME leaders coming to the WH and the focus changing to the far east President Trump may see Tillerson's job as done.

LOL...The Pro-Women Democrats would most likely expect Gina Haspel to wear a Vagina Hat/and Costume to work everyday....:D

Term Limits....I like it and think if we got rid of professional politicians and regulated lobbies it would start to right the original intent of our government. Serve for the sake of serving...what a concept.

My only compliant is the impact the firing may have had in turning the PA congressional election in favor of the Dems. Anyone sitting on the fence, the undecided, the swing votes, may have been pushed to vote against the GOP in search for stability, respectful statesmanship, and professionalism in terminating a SoS.

Trump handled the firing like an amateur in their first leadership position. Certifying authority with complete disregard of fallout. Ego vs thoughtful 360 perspective, he obviously did not consult his Generals.

Penn,

Is there much of anything in DC that is handled properly? All in all everything that goes on in DC and much in state and local governments is with total disregard to the little people. As a whole respectful statesmanship and professionalism is dead, or maybe it is just that the qualifications for statesmanship and professionalism have changed.

If I were sitting on the fence in PA my eyes would have been on the stunts performed by hacks like McConnell, Ryan and Sessions, not the Presidents.

The Conservative Treehouse is reporting that Paul Ryans's SuperPac ran ads supporting Conor Lamb............Andrew McCarty and Gregg Jarrett are saying Jeff Sessions based his recusal on the wrong law.

I am horrified at the possible direction our country might go if democrats were to regain control of the house and senate...
...the idea that they will eventually regain control the house, senate, and white house makes me mourn for the dark possibilities that lay ahead

And yet, I don't think I could field a weekend softball team with republicans that deserve the right to be entrusted with control of our government


The United States of America is the greatest nation in the history of planet earth and yet, the human beings that comprise our government are quite contemptible.
