Maybe I'm confused, but when you bitterly point and laugh whenever one of them is fired, it sounds quite a bit like you'd rather he keep them in office. Hate boners aren't exactly rational I guess.

Could be. That and she thought she was entitled to be Queen of America.

Plus Bush and Obama were pretty loyal to their staff. I've never heard former staff ever say a bad word about either of them.

^ I wonder how much this scumbag has cost America. Not just in his misuse of the US tax dollar, but for the cost of the 14 investigations that his abuse of office has generated.

^ What's unprecedented is the rate of turnover in the Trump admin:-

Given how Trump bragged about "getting the best people", two things are remarkable; (i) the people he got (ii) their inability to hold the office: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...istration.html

^ Just from this list we have Flynn, Spicer, Porter, Price, Bannon, Scaramucci, Hicks - not exactly a roll of honour imo.

And that, on its face, is meaningless.

Does anybody remember making fun of conservatives for weeping over every non-issue in the Obama administration?

-1 nicest member point.

^ :confused: What I wrote seemed to make sense to me.

^ HaHa! I guess I must have a "hate boner" too. Here's a women who is quite convincing (first 5 mins anyway) about how Pruitt's behaviour is contemptable at a superficial level (petty misuse of funds) and dangerous at a serious level ( environmental damage):-

Make the hubbub about their corrupt actions. High turnover rate doesn't necessarily point to anything meaningful, especially since there's been a bit of variety for the reasons people are leaving/being removed from their job.

It's disingenuous and does more harm to your side than good when you zero in on non-issues, especially when you have so much to work with. That's why I brought up Obama-era conservatives: being reactionary is not a good move for any political stripe.

And no offense man, but it reads like you approach the media without the necessary criticism that our modern times command.

^ Yep, high turn-over rate is a secondary issue. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

^ Turnover has been a non-issue in previous admins, but Trump turned it into an issue when he touted himself as a businessman able to get the best people. Every businessman knows that high staff turnover is an indication of either a poor selection process or poor work environment, and is usually attributed to bad management. It's not a big deal, but I still feel it's worth deflating one of Trump's unjustified bragging points.

^ Yes, probably true. grindy once posted a really good article about how people get sucked into media-induced anger which made me aware that I was pretty gullible. :(

1. I care about action, not hypocrisy. Shifting on campaign promises is a trademark move of politicians.
2. Government=/=business and viewing it as such engenders ludicrously dangerous policy.
3. It's not a big deal, agreed.
4. Zeroing in on things that aren't a big deal does not reflect positively on you and unfortunately that's extrapolated to represent your side, especially given that so many people have opted for echo chambers that exposure to the other side is far too infrequent.

I guess you could say that it's different since Fox logic representation is no longer the severe minority. Actually, you're right. What we're seeing here is worse. Everybody turned into their dumb uncle at Thanksgiving dinner.
