    How many legitimately qualified individuals are we passing up in these type of professions and law enforcement just because someone ripped a joint a couple of years ago. It's ****ing absurd .

    Odd....I know plenty of folks who admitted past mar1juana use that received TS DOD clearance. It seems the line of questioning was more in line with whether or not someone is lying rather than occasional recreational pot use in their past.

    Something about 'technology' and 'real estate' just don't go together. So I looked him up. He's a friend to Kushner and Ivanka, unsurprisingly. He has an undergraduate degree in English from Princeton, where apparently he was a good tennis player. Long story short, I don't think we're losing much expertise in the Office of American Innovation with his departure.

    The lead science advisor to the President has a undergrad political science degree. More than half the posters on D&D are more qualified for the position of "lead science advisor to the President of the United States" than the current man holding that position. That is absurd.

    This has been correct for many years but it's possible Beauregard Sessions has tweaked the permissions.

    Rumor has it that John Kelly will take over NSA role as well, at least until he is fired too.

    In the past I included Kelly on the very short list of competent people in trump's cabinet, but certainly the Porter incident showed the error in my thinking.

    Trump being "on the verge" of firing someone and actually firing them is two completely different things.

    We know now from his history Trump loves to make people dangle out there, loves to threaten, and publicly humiliate them. However he seldom actually fires them. He just has a superiority complex, and thrives on this form of bully management.

    I doubt Trump fires McMaster. Anyone that has to be confirmed I have my doubts he will fire.

    Wasn't one of the "swamp cleaning" rules was that people weren't supposed to leave the trump admin to work for wall street?

    Don't be ridiculous, everyone knows the Administration for Children and Families administers child welfare programs. A perfect fit.
