Besides Being The Most Corrupt, It's Also The Leakiest, Most Dysfunctional White House White House In History

Trump is slashing the National Security Council-- by half!-- although no one is 100% certain if Putin ordered him to cut it that drastically or not. Trump's new national security adviser Robert O'Brien-- the guy he hired after Bolton decided he wants to write a book about working for Trump instead of work for Trump-- was on Fox News explaining, with a straight face, that the shift would increase the percentage of political appointees compared to experts from the government agencies who normally fill the bulk of roles at the NSC, which is widely seen as the brains behind White House foreign policy making.

I wonder if the new revamped and super-politicized National Security Council will assign a team-- or at least someone-- to prevent Trump's staff from-- accidentally?-- sending out the Republican talking points to Democrats and to the media. Yesterday, after Marie Yovanovitch testified in front of Congress, the Trump White House sent out a memo instructing Republican members of Congress and media allies what to say about it. Spoiler: this is an actual copy-- you can wait 'til the talking heads shows in the morning to hear them from people like Lindsey Graham if you want... Or just find Rush Limbaugh or one of the other Hate Talk Radio clowns on their shows.
