is Gen Kelly the head of a silent coup??? will he relinquish power to more rational civilians? inquiring minds want to know

When you have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find nominees, sometime you knock bits of scum into the brew. So it is with Trump. Serious, qualified candidates won't apply, so you get bad jokes like Sam Clovis. Trump nominee Sam Clovis: 'As far a...could lead to legalization of pedophilia. The deplorables are now in the administration...

"LGBT behavior" is one of those little semantic tricks some people think they can use to outsmart reality. Like calling it "The Democrat Party".

It just confirms you are a moron who believes in magic: If you can just say the right series of words then all the gays will decide to be straight.

They can't face the fact that most people exhibiting "LGBT behavior" do it because they are LGBT. Of course bisexual people confuse the issue because they really can choose a straight relationship or a gay relationship, but the number of bisexuals is much smaller than the number of us who really have no choice. And "people who have no choice" includes heterosexuals as well!

Trump's "new" policy of secrecy about all aspects of the Afghanistan war isn't secrecy at all. We are in a NATO coalition with 39 other countries, so we DO have to tell all of them (plus the Afghans) exactly how many men we have there at all times, where they are, and what they are doing so we don't get a lot of people killed in friendly-fire incidents.

The only people who aren't supposed to know anything about this is us, the American Public. Classic Trump strategy. But I don't think he is doing it so he can do whatever he wants without having to tell us about it or answer questions from the press. He's doing it because it is a complex topic and he would rather not have to talk about it at all. This is a strategy for incompetent or brain-injured people to hide their deficits.

Every complicated topic is "secret" so he can only make a few vague generalizations about it. This lowers the requirement for him to have deep (or any) knowledge on the subject. This is a radical departure from ex-professor Obama, who DID study and indeed master every subject of interest for a President. Notice that Trump is actually leaving most Obama policies intact, because understanding them enough to change anything and not make a colossal blunder is too hard.

Notice that he is nevertheless doing his level best to sabotage the most important ones.

Sure, he assumes Obama was bad, therefore everything Obama did was bad. But he's only tackling the simple ones. Like Obama was against the KKK and Nazis, so Trump has to support them...

Foreign policy in Afghanistan is another kettle of fish. Obama's policy can't be summed up on a double-spaced single sheet of paper (with Trump's name in it several times), so it is too boring. Let the generals figure it out.

Trump as King Lear:

No Man Is An Island

The first big hurricane of Trump’s presidency will be managed by Obama-era officials. Thank God.

couple of questions and thoughts

I see someone has written an article asking the question what if Mr Trump refuses to leave the premises of the WH after he should be impeached and convicted? I think I have asked this before and I believe his response would be GFY I am president

I also see Dir Pompeo has also been under scrutiny. What if really unfavorable to criminal activities should be uncovered by all the investigations ongoing, would Dir Pompeo quash the evidence or would he allow it to be published? He is a far right nut case who has been a long time Trump supporter. Does his loyalty reside with Mr Trump or America? I suspect none of the far right give a crap about America but they do care about their agenda.

The clue Mr Trump may truly be unhinged will be to find any tweets which do not portray him as the greatest president. If he ever authentically apologizes .... he is about to press the red button

And now Trump has pardoned Joe Arpaio.

I thought presidents could only pardon people convicted of felonies. Arpaio's crime was a misdemeanor, wasn't it? I probably have it wrong.

Sad day. Nobody needed to face true justice more than Arpaio.
