Ah Breitbart, that bastion of quality reportage!

Yes... Stephen Bannon. Now where have we heard that name recently and in what context? A mystery where he might be getting his information, eh?

Who is going to replace all of these very experienced people?

More random billionaire Trump/GOP donors?

More Trump offspring?

At this rate they'll have to prop cardboard cut-outs of Trump behind all the empty desks..

Perhaps qualified agents who know what they're doing?

Be nice if he picked a few of those for his cabinet.

No-one with a long term career plan is going to tie their reputation to the Trump Clown Show.

And we also said what is done by Executive Order can be undone by Executive Order. I’m curious, because I don’t know the answer, but how many of Trump’s EO’s were merely undoing previous EO’s. How many were done as intended; which is to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed" (such as action to get the Secure Fence Act of 2006 fulfilled, or to follow the law on the books regarding illegal immigration, etc...), and how many were measures that truly sets or changes policy?

So executive orders are good again in your narrative. got it.

BTW Amerika, you might want to check your sources a bit harder - the image you posted as being from an event the end of the Obama administration has been in constant use by anti-immigration and far-right sites since at least 2013

See here for example:

Here it is in 2012!

Please don't provide contradictory evidence. Amerika already has all the 'alternative facts.'

Zero credibility in your post, given it came directly from the Trump administration's PR wing.

I thought that added credibility, seeing as they are nowadays part of the administration that has the power to do the hiring and firing.

Contradictory evidence and alternative facts are fine, if they are true.

"The glass is half full." "The glass is half empty".
Those are alternative facts.

Okay, so it looks like the article I remember seeing in the final days of the Obama administration apparently used a file photo. Doesn't change anything to the statement I made.

Call me crazy, but I would want a qualified and dedicated person who cares more about protecting our borders and obeying our laws in key positions, over a long term career plan person that plays politics.

How's this for "surprising consequences"?

Trump's approval rating on Inauguration Day was 37%.
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/315223-poll-trump-approval-rating-hits-new-low-hours-before

Six days later, his approval rating is 59%.

No, this might come as a surprise to you but being essentially the official state propagandist does not add to one's credibility.

One is from Rasmussen one from Fox News. Different providers, different question, different methodology.

I would call that a different interpretation. Calling the half full or half empty glass fuller than the half full or half empty glass of four years ago emptier would be an alternative fact. Or calling a half full or half empty glass, full full would be an alternative fact.

Love how Trump was barking on about people being registered to vote in more than one state, and some of his staff (including Sean Spicer) are registered in 2 states.

It does prove his point, ironically.

It's actually not illegal though.

Though who would be bored enough to queue for hours to vote in one state and then travel hundreds of miles to queue for hours again to vote in another?

Trumps latest round of lies, his narcissism still fails to allow him to let go of the key truths around his lack of comparative popularity........biggest inauguration ever, won the popular vote due to 3.5-5m people voting illegally, he cannot let these things go. SAD!

And here's today's pipeline leak, these pipelines leak regularly, do a google news search, this is why the Sioux don't want the Dakota Pipeline to traverse their property and flow under their reservoir, the Missouri River, a valid and fair concern.

An underground pipeline that runs through multiple Midwestern states has leaked an estimated 138,000 gallons of diesel fuel, according to the company that owns it, Magellan Midstream Partners.

Correct, what would be illegal is if the person voted in more than one of the states they were registered in.

Dear old Donald takes us the closest to midnight we have been since 1953 and the first Hydrogen Bomb Tests. Great to see him bringing so much winning to the world in his first few days in office! WIN!

Clearly.

The bit you didn't quote pretty much said that. Perhaps it was a bit too oblique for you?

I was waiting for your response actually; an intelligent, rational person would realize that they had been duped by a deceitful source, and would acknowledge what had happened; a foolishly stubborn person would double-down.


Its increasingly clear what you are.

DT wants to reintroduce torture but nobody agrees with him
DT wants to investigate voter fraud which nobody agrees happened.
DT causes a breakdown in relations with Mexico at the time many of the senior diplomats are resigning.

Things are going really great.
Wonder what have been achieved in 100 days.

What about the Cuba missile crisis?

Not mentioned but much more dangerous than any of the points actually mentioned.

...and Guantanamo Bay closed.

Seeing as how we've suddenly changed the definition of getting things done, and all.
