The president has bailed.

These resume padders can go to jail with the rest of them.

using a bunch of militia goons, don't you think it would be a good idea to replace all the people in the military who might stop them? Wouldn't it be a good idea to fire the patriots and replace them with ass lickers who will support your illegal actions.

This isn't spite, and it isn't a joke.

Watch "7 Days in May".

CNBC White House correspondent Eamon James said he asked a Trump Administration official what to make of the dramatic Pentagon staffing changes Wednesday and was told, “It’s just Trump guys getting revenge on people they don’t like and padding their resumes. It doesn’t mean anything on the policy front.”

The sophomoric response was echoed by another former Trump official who said the switcharoos occurred because “the person who really wanted Mark Esper out because he coveted Mark’s job is [National Security Adviser] Robert O’Brien. O’Brien wants someone to keep the seat warm so he could get the job [in a second Trump term]. Christopher Miller is his guy, so now he can reach in.”

Yeah, good call there, O’Brien!!
