(first Bannon, now . .) Mike Flynn is building a wall inside the National Security Council

"You will not have the experts in the room when the principals are having these discussions," worries one NSC veteran who has heard complaints from White House officials this week. The person, like others, agreed to speak on condition of anonymity.

"They are not being used," added another source with direct knowledge of the developments, who similarly expressed concern that the Trump team is "doubling down on cutting out the professional experts."

"They have been emasculated and have no authority," the source added. "But they are still getting hammered by agencies and allies and don't know what to tell them. … Many are heading for the exits."

The concerns come after Trump granted his political strategist Steve Bannon, who is separately constructing his own power center inside the West Wing, membership of the highest rung of the National Security Council, traditionally reserved for Cabinet chiefs.

Is there no end to your regurgitation of unsourced bullshit.  You really should try to get your head out of your ass.  Don't worry, your welfare checks will keep coming in for a while.

. . . unsourced bullshit!

It's all a conspiracy! Vicious lies! Leave my leader alone!

Information from unnamed sources is almost as good as that you might gather from lavatory walls.  It's very easy nowadays to find something in writing that satisfies your bias.  Most on this thread recognize this.  Every time you post one of these masterpieces you as much as say hey I'm a dumb shit with no powers of discernment.  You might as well wear a kick me sign.

Under the bus >>> Military officials say Trump ordered Yemen mission without enough intel, ground support or prep -- Pentagon Points Finger of Blame at Trump

". . .the special ops raid in Yemen did not go according to plan and it went badly. This Times account relates a "a chain of mishaps and misjudgments that plunged the elite commandos into a ferocious 50-minute firefight that also left three others wounded and a $75 million aircraft deliberately destroyed." Chief Petty Officer William Owens was killed in the operation. There also appear to have been a large number of civilian casualties."

"What Reuters identifies as "U.S. military officials" says that "[President] Trump approved his first covert counterterrorism operation without sufficient intelligence, ground support or adequate backup preparations."

elsewhere: "He's done. You can't fight a war against State, The Pentagon and Langley and survive. It is just a matter of time and not much."

At least he managed to tweet the NY Times shpuld be bought and folded before acknowledging the firefight, injuries and deaths (that happened before the Times tweet). Yesterday he said his meeting with the dead soldier's family was 'beautiful'. Thankfully his daughter looked like she was ready to do a fashion show, so that will have cheered up the CPO's family no end.

You know what they say about stories that begin with 'This is a no shitter' don't you? It's either the stone fucking gospel or its gold plated bullshit.  You know where I taste the truth of your statement?  It's the convo's with Hall.  Two of them.  Less than a minute. 
If you had said that you two had talked over coffee or that she blew you in the elevator on the way to the incinerator and made you hold the burn bag while she  gargled your balls.... I would have called Bullshit.

The video for that is later.

This special operation had been planned months in advance. Lol, an operation goes wrong, therefore, obviously Trump recklessly ordered it. Probably just for lulz, right?

I didn't say he ordered it; He likely didn't. I was commenting on his reaction to the aftermath.

Frederick Douglass has done an 'amazing job' too. I wonder what he's doing now?  :

He should have sent Chuck Schumer to weep on camera and call the terrorists 'mean spirited.' That would show them.

Poor kid. He's been dragged though hell, and will never live this down.You can tell he's sensitive, well mannered, quiet, smart.

Thank you for your concern, but enough about me. I take the criticism from the haters (as I like to call them) with a stiff upper lip and an extra large helping of sang froid. I take comfort from the fact that they are all clearly products of incest. Particularly Captain Nemo (aka Kiddyfiddler), who was kept in a cage by his sibling parents until he was 35.

Treasury dept is easing sanctions between US companies and Russian FSB before investigation into hacking is complete. So that's alright then. Putin is wetting himself laughing his bitch is playing the game.

Don't worry; you'll be out of diapers and into adolescence in a century or so. Then you'll choose a grown up for a President.

It's interesting to me that reports say it was 'deliberately destroyed' making it seem like US forces did it, which sounds a bit reminiscent of the Bin Laden raid and that crashed stealth helicopter.

From what I understand, that's exactly what happened.  We shot a missile at it on the ground, after the raid.  Presumably from a ship.

That would polish out. No need to write it off.
