(2,003 posts)Why is it people are thinking top GOP officials are in some state of distress? They've found themselves wielding more power than they've ever known.
It's as if the headline reads, "Powerball winner in a state of panic over what to do with so much money!"
Sure didn't sound that way - said there was no chaos at airports and a lot of other shit

(776 posts)A law-abiding person will want to stay as far as possible from the personal service of President Trump. As demonstrated by the sad example of Press Secretary Sean Spicer spouting glaring lies on his first day on the job, this president will demand that his aides do improper thingsand the low standards of integrity in Trumps entourage create a culture of conformity to those demands.
A wise patriot might be wary of working directly for or near Flynn or anybody else tied to the Russian state, the entities it controls, or Russian business interests. The National Security Council staff has engorged itself to such an enormous size in recent yearsnow some 400 peoplethat there are many important roles to fill, safely firewalled away from Flynn.
At the other departments or agencies of government, heres the test: Odds are that the department or agency head will sooner or later be called upon to some improper thing at some point during the Trump administration.
and as we all know - if something goes well - Trump takes the credit - if it goes badly - "You're Fired" (and hung out to dry.)

He might be the most adult in the room and provide a modicum of grounding. With him gone, Bannon could ramp it up even more. I don't blame Priebus for not wanting to be complicit in illegal and unconstitutional activities.
