Yeah, even to a casual observer, it's quite evident that most of the folks in the trump administration suffer from being full of Special High Intensity Training (SHIT) but in virtually all cases that training is in the wrong area or is totally irrelevant to their Supposed Position Or Task (SPOT). This, of course, results in a virtual epidemic of SHIT SPOT's.
Unqualified, padded resume, serial liar, fake charity, magazine cover hoax - she fits right in.
Did you see that Seema is up to her old tricks at Medicare? I read that she has been able to keep trump campaign and transition staff employed to the tune of millions of dollars to run her social media bs. Her friends bill us $380/hour for answering her email.
No time to post link now but it should be easy to find
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”

Yeah, I saw that story earlier; even posted a comment on yahoo about how she knew she was applying for a position in the trump administration and probably thought she was SUPPOSED to lie.
This is the sixth Pentagon official to quit in the past month. This cannot be good.
From Defense News:
[Eric] Chewning becomes the sixth high-profile exit from the Pentagon in the last month, although there should be no gap between his exit and Stewart’s start. Pentagon spokeswoman Alyssa Farah said the building “continues to bring in high quality personnel" to fill the empty spots in the building.
All the best people. That comes on top of this. From The New York Times:
Rear Adm. Kevin M. Sweeney has resigned his post as chief of staff to the United States secretary of defense, the Defense Department said Saturday.
Mr. Sweeney had become chief of staff to former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis in January 2017, and his resignation comes soon after Mr. Mattis’s own pointed departure in December. The two had known each other for years.
Mr. Mattis said then that he had resigned in protest of President Trump’s decision to withdraw American forces from Syria and in protest of the president’s rejection of international alliances. Mr. Mattis had originally said he would step down at the end of February, but angered by Mr. Mattis’s criticism, Mr. Trump said he was removing Mr. Mattis from his post two months early.
... So what kind of lawyers would take a case like this? It appears that it isn’t top conservative legal talent. According to George Conway, the Trump critic and high-powered conservative lawyer (and husband to White House aide Kellyanne Conway), the top law firms won’t go near Trump. He has a bad reputation for not paying his legal bills and refusing to follow his attorney’s advice, making the lawyer (and him) look like fools. They also worry that the top law school talent will go elsewhere rather than be associated with this administration.
Trump has already gone through a slew of attorneys in his three years in office. His original White House counsel, Don McGahn, left long ago, as did Trump’s personal lawyers John Dowd and Ty Cobb, who handled the Mueller investigation. Also gone is Emmet Flood, who was on Bill Clinton’s impeachment team and would have likely been an asset in this proceeding....

The part of the trial I watched yesterday was kind of like the old "Green Acres" television show with Oliver Douglas being the Democrat presenter and Mr. Haney doing the GOP side. The GOP section of the Senate consisted of 53 Arnold Ziffles.

Let’s dispense with one thing off the bat: President Donald Trump’s impeachment defense is — in addition to being riddled with false factual claims and misleading characterizations — legal claptrap.
It’s also likely to work.
The essence of the argument, which appears in a 110-page brief submitted Monday by the president’s ragtag legal team in advance of his Senate trial, is that Trump can’t be impeached for behaviors that are not actual crimes....
Perhaps it should come as no surprise that a president who described the Constitution as “like a foreign language” would cling to such a legally preposterous claim. But to be fair to Trump and his lawyers, it’s the only one left. The evidence amassed during the House impeachment proceedings — that he shook down a foreign government in the service of his own reelection campaign — is overwhelming, and Trump has yet to counter any of it with so much as a single piece of paper or word of testimony. He has given himself no option but to say, in effect: “Yeah, I did it. So what?”
... So why is Trump’s argument almost certainly going to work? Because the Republican majority in the Senate, led by Mitch McConnell, knows that its own survival is tied to Trump’s, and cares more about its grip on power than its fidelity to constitutional governance....
Plus, it IS a campaign felony and treason for POSPOTUS to request an investigation of his political rival by a foreign government even if there was no coercion. Idk why that wasn't a separate charge.
In other words, Moscow Mitch and the rest of the Repugs are greedy and pants-wetting terrified wimps, co-conspirators that detest all integrity and responsibility and truly hate America.
In the 25 years of D presidents, there have been a total of 3 executive branch officials indicted, with 1 conviction, and 1 prison sentence.
In the 28 years of R presidents, there have been a total of 120 indictments of executive branch officials, 89 convictions, and 34 prison sentences.
But I'm sure "there are very nice people on both sides"
That's hard to believe. Not the R part, but that there aren't more stupid D's.
I think this is the source for O Really's data, though the numbers are slightly different for the Dems:
7 indictments
3 convictions
1 prison sentence, as O Really says
Note: The sole Obama conviction in 8 years was Republican/Independent Gen. David Petraeus’ misdemeanor, so not even a "stupid D". Hah.
... GOP Admins Had 38 Times More Criminal Convictions Than Democrats, 1961-2016
We compared 56 years of corruption in Republican and Democratic presidencies: both sides are not equally corrupt. https://rantt.com/gop-admins-had-38-tim ... -1961-2016
“Vindman was asked to leave for telling the truth. His honor, his commitment to right, frightened the powerful.”
... Vindman’s twin brother, (United States Army Lieutenant Colonel and JAG Officer) Yevgeny, was also dismissed from his post as an ethics lawyer for the NSC, according to people familiar with the matter....
Soviet style purge for telling the truth, but without the executions, yet. Of course, POSPOTUS was too much of a pansy, as he's been his entire life, to do the firings before the impeachment vote.
Comments:
My guess is that Mr Sondland’s donation will be less for the coming election.
Speaking of which, leaving soon?
Yeah, I saw that story earlier; even posted a comment on yahoo about how she knew she was applying for a position in the trump administration and probably thought she was SUPPOSED to lie.
and start to wonder if they can lie in court.
