Trump retains 50 key Obama aides (for now)

Chomsky said:
Quite honestly, I never understood the need to wholesale-clean-house when a new administration comes in.

Are we saying that all these individuals replaced are incompetent? I think not.

I think trump is doing the right thing. My piont is, the right thing he is doing is extremely counter to what he ran on and said.

President-elect Donald Trump will keep 50 top aides to President Obama on critical issues like the war on the so-called Islamic State, international sanctions and global counterterrorism efforts, his spokesman announced Thursday.

Interesting. I thought he was supposed to have a whole different plan where he knew more than the generals and would defeat ISIS in no time blah blah blah and more trump blah. Wonder what happened to that?

Continuity of information is something I had been afraid we might loose.

Hyperbole?

It only now bothers you?

Considering all the malarkey that you have been throwing out there about the man, and every conservative in your own posts?

Ah, so that was your version of payback? I hope that strange little outburst was cathartic for you.
 
poweRob said:
The only criticism here is that he's, again, not following anything close to what he ran on. He had nothing but contempt for Obama's policies in these areas. He knew better than everyone. But now? Not so much.

And if he fired them, you would still be bitching.

Yeah, I realize that Rob.

As an aside, Trump picked a pretty ****ty band for the Inauguration Welcome. The lead singer absolutely sucks!

Me too. Like I said, I think he's doing the right thing here but if you asked me yesterday what he'd do... I'd say by his talk, he'd have fired everything and everyone.

Ahem, point still stands. You are deliberately hunting for things to be outraged about, even if they are the correct thing to do in your opinion.

Yeah and come tomorrow and beyond he will continue to do the right thing by undoing Obama's failures and make America Great Again.

Look at you agreeing that keeping Obama's picks is the right thing to do. You are definitely growing.

I am saying if he fired them, you would still be making a thread complaining about that. My point is you want something to be outraged about, even if you agree with it. Its a kitchen sink strategy, be outraged about everything until something sticks. Problem is that was already tried in the election and backfired, so do you still want to continue down a path of failure?

:lol:... it's still about me I see. I don't like that he lied no matter how much I expect it... becuase liars suck. I'm just fortunate that his lie hurt your world view not mine. Whats funny is how you are such a trump fan that you have to ignore this by using me to deflect.

Oh thats a ridiculous exageration.

This narrative that he's really a Liberal in dsguise and that he's pulled the wool over his supporters eyes is far fetched when consider his cabinet appointments.

Either that or he's really really trying to sell it. Like appointing Jeff Sessions to head up the DOJ..Lol

Oh he's a hard core Lib allright

Just commenting on this ridiculous partisan attempt to convince Trump voters that they've been had, and yes your thread is just more of the same.

The next thing you know you people will be trying to convince us that he's trying to push through single payer right under our noses

Oh wait, that thread was posted yesterday.

I am not ignoring it. I just don't find it as big a deal as you obviously do. He's not even President yet and you seem to find something new to complain about every day. The search for outrage is a never ending one, apparently.

Who would 'you people' be, Fenton?

trumposters will defend their dear leader on their way to becoming GOPutinistas.

The play is for independents seeing McConnell refusing a select committee.

Seeing Burr trying to keep the trump campaign off limits from Senate Intelligence.

Seeing the House trying to gut ethics oversight for crooked Price .

Glass houses.

GOPosters could dish it out in 2008/2009. They are a sensitive lot now.

They should be thanking these 50 Patriots for staying on and helping to keep America safe.

The one thing that is for sure with them is to deflect from the thread content .

I'm using the same exact words they used on us. Calling their guy "messiah" or "dear leader". They dished that **** out nonstop and now they don't seem to be handling it well. And I'm just lmao.
 
That's smart. You need that institutional memory at least in the beginning.
