WE: Bigger than Vindman: Trump scrubs 70 Obama holdovers from NSC
This purging is good. When you stike at the king, and fail, too bad for you when the king strikes back.
Some might say the administration should have removed prior administration holdovers first thing. But if the king’s ultimate goal is to drain the swamp, letting the miscreants expose themselves can be useful.

The utter failure of this administration.
In the words of GWB @ Trump’s inauguration address, “that was some weird shit” at the SOTU speech the other night. But this has to take the cake:
So, it turns out the Philadelphia fourth grader Janiyah Davis, who Trump said was trapped in a “failing government school” before he made the point of awarding her, and only her, a scholarship, live, on prime time TV, was already going to a top-notch “government” school, had no need for a scholarship, and didn’t have a clue why Trump put her in the audience.
It just boggles the mind how anyone can be that stupid, mindless and incompetent.
How To Make Liberals**
Take middle class wage-earners and convince them that the poor are just lazy, that safety net programs are the bane of a free society, that government is an impediment to the free market, that healthcare is already affordable because their employers pays for it, and that they should vote for those who would curb socialism, stop any progressive reforms, and remove regulations and unions from their beneficent captains of industry.
