The bottom line is he can hire and fire anybody in his admin that he desires to, just like any other POTUS. He only needs to get approval to appoint certain people through a Congressional committee, he does not need their or your approval to fire them for not doing as he instructs. My question is why doe sit matter to either you or Dave? You both hate the guy and many said he was going to be fired a long time ago for allegedly calling his boss a moron. Why are you in a tizzy now? I have run off people for the exact same reason, so it matters little to me.
My biggest gripe is with the reason Don gives for the firing, tying everything back to the sad old excuse of Russia. That is a pure lie and I am not afraid to call him out on it. Dave has the audacity to call his NYT source a real source because we all know their reporting is always true. Yep, lets take that Dossier they released for instance, 14 months of wasted BS for something they knew to be a fake political smear piece. Please tell me your sources are top notch, they are laughable at the very least.
Dave I also see you not disagreeing with the reason, is that something you were also told by your "sources"?
Let me clarify, the assistant I was referring to being fired and having a gambling problem came from Dave's link at the beginning of the thread.It was reported that he had a severe gambling problem.WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump’s personal assistant, John McEntee, was escorted out of the White House on Monday, two senior administration officials said. The cause of the firing was an unspecified security issue, said a third White House official with knowledge of the situation.
None so far.
The latest Russian attack on American soldiers was not successful but as I stated, if the next ones are successful, you guys will find some way to excuse Russia and Trump for killing them.
I do find myself getting too angry watching the President subjugating America to Vladimir Putin and you guys cheering him on to respond kindly so I will try to simply not respond at those times.
I will remind you that Hilliary and Obama allowed the russians to buy 25% of our uranium. They are the ones with the big red reset button. Obama was in charge when all of the hacking was happening and did not stop it or make a big deal of it until after his candidate lost.
Trump had no part in colluding with russians, that has already been determined after 14 months. He has bombed the russian fighters in Syria and has shot up a lot of their equipment. How you can say he is colluding is beyond me. On one hand you libs are worried that he will destabilize the world community, yet all of the rhetoric you keep putting out is doing more to piss off a major lunatic running russia than anything Trump has done to this point. You ranted about his getting us into a war with NKorea. yet he got the little madman to at least agree to sit down. No other Potus in decades has been able to accomplish that. You hate the guy, fine, but don't let your hatred make your mouth spew lies and garbage, it hurts your already dismal reputation for having a rational discussion with people.
Wrong

We don't want to "piss off " off Vladimir now do we?

Keep cheering the President and his boss on.
I will try to remain civil as you cheer the deaths of American soldiers.
Snopes is a fake and a fraud run by a husband and wife team of ultra left wing crazies. We have already established they are pretty iffy when used as actual facts. SHow your proof and quit flapping your gums. You can't other than throwing out garbage that is blowing through your ears. Prove it or drop it. Put your money where your mouth is.
Maybe you were not paying attention last month or are just being your usual disingenuous self, but when the Russians attacked our positions the American forces under the ultimate command of one Donald Trump hit back with the kitchen sink killing and maiming perhaps hundreds of them and their Shi’a allies. That would hardly be accommodating to Putin, I posit. Thrashing your partner’s forces with gunships, drones and B-52s would most likely be a fart in the shower of that relationship anyone but you you could see, Don.

Uh Oh !! It appears Niki Haley could be the next causality of Vladimir Putin's control over our Dear President.
https://www.mediaite.com/tv/nikki-ha...&ICID=ref_fark
SoS Tillerson lasted less than 24 hours after criticizing President Trump's boss.U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley continued her onslaught against the Russia by condemning the European power for the poisoning of two people in a chemical attack carried out in the U.K.
With Great Britain responding to the attack on a former Russian double agent by expelling 23 of the nation’s diplomats, Haley sided with America’s ally across the pound and scorched the country while speaking at the U.N. in New York City.
“The United States believes that Russia is responsible for two people in the United Kingdom using a military-grade nerve agent,” Haley said of the ex-Russian spy and his daughter who are extremely ill. “Russia must fully cooperate with the U.K.’s investigation and come clean about its own chemical weapons program.”
“Time and time again, member-states say they oppose the use of chemical weapons under any circumstance. Now one member stands accused of using chemical weapons on the sovereign soil of another member. The credibility of this council will not survive if we fail to hold Russia accountable.”
Waco, the guy is either insane or high. I am done. Ignore it is.
I proposed that if Haley suffers no consequence, then Don’s cockamamie treason theory is kaput. The proof of the pudding is in the firing kind of thing.
Revisit later to check on her status. Still think he is just funnin’ us.
