Kelly, Mattis, Tillerson, McMaster, Ivanka

I am getting tired of the media portraying these people as sane, rational, noble people that are serving their country. That they are there because they care for this country and if they weren’t there then things would be terrible.

No, they are people who share Trump’s views and are as despicable as he is. They are no different than Bannon, Lewandowski, Gorka, Stone, and Flynn; they just hide it better. If they were those things that the media pretends then they would resign and call Trump out on his behavior.

Molly Ivins: "You can put lipstick on a pig and call it Monique, but it's still just a pig."

The actual source is murky at best--google brought out Ann Richards and seemingly dozens of others credited with it.

The point for me is: SARAH PALIN WOULD NEVER HAVE THE WIT TO SAY SOMETHING SO CLEVER.

Sorry for yelling, but I loves me some Ivins and hates all things palin...

I could get in line with all of those statements. If I hear anything from palin I am flinching.

Can he maintain his integrity or will he get sucked into the dark vortex?

Someday this is going to be very interesting reading when the books are written by Trump's staff.

McMaster went on tv to defend Trump's first travel ban. Kelly just defended Trump's outrageous treatment of a Gold Star family. Kelly went after a person who properly criticized Trump.

They are all the same, they seem to be as bad as Trump.
