What happened after Trump kicked the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the DNI off the NSC?

(The National Security Council)

There was a secret mission by the Navy Seals to attack an al Qaeda compound in Yemen. One Seal was killed and three were injured. One of our up-to-date, high-technology helicopters crashed in a "hard landing" and had to be destroyed.

When there are no military advisors and no knowledgeable intelligence officials advising this President, there is no telling what kind of trouble he might get us into?

These protests over the immigrants is a big story but we should not over-look what he has done with the National Security Council.

so it will "legitimize" his assholiness and force "togetherness" and allow him to say he has support to do invasions again.

Trump is a "with me or against me" kind of guy and the slightest disagreement can put anyone in the "against me" category.

... LEAST it looked like he was winning after his battles in Poland.

Benedict Donald is a fuck up from the jump and I don't believe for a second he wants to get frogy with Iran.

He's an asshole and he's useless...

Type a guy you never want around for anything
