1. He's going to fire trump?

[louis-t]

2. He might fire himself.

[leftstreet]

8. LOL if he's smart he will n/t

[temporary311]

3. Miller and Gorka need to go, too,

along with anyone else they, or Bannon, had a hand in hiring.

[Sanity Claws]

4. Gorka?

That's my guess.

[TrollBuster9090]

9. That's DOCTOR Gorrrka to you, pah-jah-mah boy...

Or Doctor Goatee, to his friends. The title is critical. He didn't spend all that money on a mail-order PhD just to get addressed like any OTHER right wing troll. (And apparently he can WRITE. Don't know if he can read, but apparently he can write.)

[gratuitous]

16. I prefer Dr. Face Mullet

It's often been said that you can't judge a book by its cover, but I feel I'm on solid ground when I draw conclusions about Gorka and his alleged character just by looking at his smug phiz.

21. You can't judge a book by it's cover, unless it's a book on proctology,

and the cover is a photo of a prolapsed rectum. No question that there's a lot of shit inside.

19. As I said in another thread, "sonny"

5. Gorka is next

For sure.

[underpants]

6. Yeah he was Bannon's guy

Should have never been there and there's no reason for him now.

[leftstreet]

7. Yeah, if this is true that's my quess

10. Ezra Cohen-Watnick & Michael Ellis

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/07/ezra-cohen-watnick/534615/

There was one person, however, who McMaster couldn’t get rid of: Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the senior director for intelligence programs. McMaster tried to remove him in March, but President Trump, at the urging of Bannon and Jared Kushner, told McMaster that Cohen-Watnick was staying, as first reported by Politico. According to a senior White House official, the two men had a sit-down meeting the following week in which McMaster acknowledged that he hadn’t been able to do what he wanted to do, and that they would keep things as they are and “see how they go for a while.” That was over four months ago. That Cohen-Watnick, 31 years old and largely unknown before entering the administration, has become unfireable reveals how important he has become to the Trump White House, where loyalty is prized.

snip

Bannon and Ledeen may be wary of talking about Cohen-Watnick after his first, and thus far only, turn in the national spotlight. Washington got its first real look at Cohen-Watnick when he was identified as one of two White House sources who provided House Intelligence chairman Devin Nunes with evidence that former national security adviser Susan Rice requested the “unmasking” of the names of Trump associates in intelligence documents. In the intelligence world, incidental collection refers to intelligence agencies obtaining, in the course of monitoring foreigners, communications that either refer to or involve Americans, whose names are typically “masked” unless officials request that they be “unmasked.”

snip

Despite that early controversy, Cohen-Watnick retains one of the most consequential intelligence jobs in the nation, and his influence is rising. He is in the thick of some of the most important policy fights at the White House; he is viewed as an Iran hawk and has been characterized, for instance, as a main proponent of expanding U.S. efforts against Iran-backed militias in Syria. And beyond policy specifics, he’s become a flashpoint in the long-running tension between Trump and the intelligence community, a part of the U.S. government that the president has at times openly disdained.

18. McMaster already removed Ezra Cohen Watnick and Flynn holdover Derek Harvey

http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/02/politics/nsc-ezra-cohen-watnick/index.html

Ezra is gone but I think weasel Michael Ellis is still a WH counsel. He needs to go. Toxic Stephen Miller absolutely needs to go too but he may be staying if McMaster and Kelly think he is focused on domestic policies rather than trying to influence foreign policy.

[Pachamama]

11. I don't think Kelly had a thing to do with Bannon's firing....

Its delusional to think anyone has control over Twitler and what he does....This is all Trump himself....

[leftstreet]

13. Why would Trump cut him loose?

I actually think you're probably right, and Kelly will be the official 'fall guy' for the firings

Just can't imagine why Trump would wait so long, after so much Bannon damage, to let him go

[WePurrsevere]

12. Kelly probably thinks that getting rid of...

what he thinks are the bad influences on Trump that it will save his presidency. It won't though because the worst influence on Trump is TRUMP.

[maxsolomon]

17. Garbage in, Garbage out.

Kelly is trying to control the Garbage in part.

It could work if it weren't for the Treason thing.

[JaneQPublic]

14. Don't suppose Kelly can fire SCROTUS?

Ah well, a girl can dream.

[AlexSFCA]

15. #PresidentKelly ? lol

[MiniMe]

20. Can we put Kelly-Ann Conway on the list?
