B-Man Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 THE NSC REORGANIZATION KERFUFFLE: In terms of organizing and sizing the National Security Council, Trump can do just about anything he wants. The NSC works for him. He can staff it to meet his needs. To say he can’t is Fake News. The UPI dispatch covers the basics. Trump also has pared the council to six deputy national security advisers, compared to the 23 on Obama’s council. Long overdue. Obama stacked his NSC with cronies. Loyalty to him came first. Having political chums or relatives in the mainstream media was an additional qualifier. It sure wasn’t military experience or other types of rubber-meets-the-road national security experience. Last night Glenn fisked Susan Rice’s latest act of naked hypocrisy. “The troika made up of Susan Rice, Samantha Power, and Hillary Clinton was perhaps the most disastrous foreign policy crew in American history.” Glenn was elaborating on this post at booksbikesboomsticks.blogspot.com. Trump has decided to downgrade NSC participation by the Director of National Intelligence and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. However, they are statutory advisers. However, the mainstream media and usual suspects are acting like the DNI and Chairman JCS are out of the loop. They aren’t. The BBC reports they’ll attend NSC Principals Committee meetings when discussions pertain to their areas. https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/the-nsc-reorganization-kerfuffle-in-terms-of-organizing-and-sizing-the-national-security-council-t/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 In the long run this benefits Dems again, and I know you're a perimecium but this benefits no one. Politics simply being left & right hurts us all. This can't benefit anyone. Ever. And you're too stupid to see that.

Benjamin Franklin Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Yep. You're right. Now what are the chances that we actually get a vote? 51 votes is better. President picks. Senate advises and consents.* That's how the system is supposed to work. As long as Trump doesn't nominate a penguin, his pick should get approved. Enough with the stupid games. *except in undefined periods in which the Senate need not advise or consent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
