    If the only 'adult in the room' is a military man and he's hiring and firing above the POTUS you have a military dictatorship on the way. All banana republics start like that. I don't really care that your scant mind is filled with lefties and hysteria, maybe go lick some more tears off a liberal face.

    No one in their rite mind would accept this job without assurances to that effect. Likely Kelly laid it on the line and straight out told the Donald to **** or no freakin' way.

    Kelly is not stupid.

    At the rate Trump loses staff, I reckon my pet Chihuahua has a decent shot of becoming a White House staffer

    And many naive fools on the left believe that people in the CIA, NSA and FBI are strict vegetarian pacifists who have a collection of My Little Ponies on their desk and are such nice people they'd never hurt a fly for which all they do is perfectly legit, above board and transparent. They still believe what the intelligence people told them about the Spanish sunk the USS Maine, Saddam really did have WMDs, that the divers lied when they said the Luisitannia was a weapons transport ship justifying entry into WW1, and Vietnam really was because a N. Vietnamese boat attacked a US destroyer.

    They will believe anything they are told to believe like someone in kindergarten believes anything the teacher says.

    The Trump administration is proving incredibly successful, light years ahead of Obama's first 6 months. Who is in chaos is the Democratic Party and MSM - the two groups with THE absolutely lowest approval ratings.

    Why the soap opera?
    The Donald should be allowed to fine tune his administration as he chooses.

    Is News Media, Inc. aka Lame Stream Media
    so hard up for real "news" and the journalistic challenges
    reporting "news" presents that they rely on making
    a Soap Opera of it all?

    Emotions are like food to them. They are insatiable gluttons in that respect. Everything revolves around how they "feel".

    As was suspected- you do not know what "deep state" means, within the context of how the term is being used.

    The dictionary definition comes close but, 1) that there are actors that exert influence over Gov't policy is no "secret"
    2) The definition does not mention the influence of external actors "Oligarchs/ Oligopolies" who are neither members of Gov't agencies or the military.

    Hopefully this helps.

    So what if the Dem's call a herd of stampeding bulls a herd of stampeding bulls. Why do you focus on the Dems instead of addressing the problem of chaos in the white house ?

    3 top people sacked in 10 days ?

    What was the point of bringing the Dems in to the equation ?

    I do agree with you that Christians are fully not welcomed in the Democratic Party and should vote straight Republican ticket in every election for every office. At least we agree on something.

    What are you talking about ? Obama did not have both houses of Congress ???????..... despite that he got more done than Trump.

    Further, the conversation is not about what Trump or Obama got done in the first 6 months or the state of the Dem party or MSM, it is about the current chaos (3 people sacked in 10 days) in the Trump Admin.

    I can not stand the Dem Establishment and I agree 100% that the MSM is a clown show. This however, has nothing to do with the fact that the Trump admin is in Chaos.

    Our whole political and justice system is. This is partly responsible the Trump administrations current issues.
    This general chaos in the Political and Justice system is largely a function of blind myopic uber partisanship - the kind that you are demonstrating by your absurd denial of the Trump Admin's current "chaos".

    The Dem's lost because they had no plan, no ideas and an utterly horrible candidate who happened to be a confirmed establishment insider and corporate crony in an anti establishment/anti corporate cronyism election but this has little to do with the current chaos in the Trump admin.

    The whole establishment (red and blue political leaders, deep state, MSM, and international financiers) is going after Trump. The reason there is so much chaos among his staff is because his staff are political operators. These political operators do not exist in a "Trump Vacuum". They exist in a whole massive game where they are subject to many influences and every actor in this game (sans Trump's own family - for the moment as even family sometimes turn against each other) is in their position on the basis at being good at picking winners and losers in this game and as such are subject to a whole range of political influence.

    This reason why Trump is facing so much disloyalty is because the people in his administration are dealing with major influences and influencers that want Trump gone. Surely you must see this.

    Look at the oddsmakers (folks that are willing to put their money where their mouth is). These folks are the least likely to be influenced by partisanship or other emotional factors. In May the probability that Trump would exit before the end of his term was 55% !

    That is astonishing.

    IMO this is a clear cut description of the impediments Trump faces, but it ignores two facts:

    1. He was chosen by many for just this reason, and
    2. He is a skilled trickster that has a good many ways of accomplishing what he was elected to achieve.

    As a bonus,

    3. He has quite a few people rooting for him. More than the Deep State media will admit.

    The issue being discussed was the current "chaos" in reflection to the posters deflection to "evil Democrats".

    With respect to your comments. I agree that Trump won largely on the basis of the people wanting "throwing a molotov cocktail into the establishment. I allude to this in my post.

    2. Trump will achieve what the Establishment allows him to achieve. Further Trump has already done a 180 on some of the things he was elected to achieve ... such as: his isolationist position and in relation to his talk about fighting the Islamist extremists, his rhetoric on lobbyists and crony capitalism, and other things.

    3. Members of the raging masses can root for Trump all they like - it is the members of the deep state and other political actors that matter.

    4. Keep in mind that at the end of the day this is all just a show to keep the raging masses distracted and divided.

    Kind of like how Trump supporters believe 1+1=3 because Donnie tells them to?

    Cool.

    Glad to see the Mooch go.

    Everyone should love this, Democrats and Republicans, because he was making a mockery of his position with his loud mouth, arrogance, threats to fire people, etc.

    Nevertheless, things will happen as a result of Trump's election that would not have even been considered had he not finally spoken out, and other things--very bad things--will be either slowed down or stopped because it will take time for the bad actors to re-rig things to accomplish their outrageous goals.

    I don't think that he was the target of the media. He was his own worst enemy.

    I don't believe that this is a show to keep the raging masses distracted. He is simply a disorganized and chaotic person who
    ran his businesses like he runs the Whitehouse. He is a con, inept and unqualified to govern.
