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 d
eputy 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.

Nope. Only a simple majority. 60 votes were needed for cloture...but again, thanks to Harry Reid, that's no longer necessarily the case.

 

This is the absolutely epitome of the phrase "Be careful what you wish for..."

 

This will be your legacy, Harry. Well done. :lol:

Dems will block

we should have them play OC They'd do as good as Wood last year and be knob gobbled just the same.

Go for it! I hope they get us to a majority vote senate, Good for Dems!

don't you realize, mostly dye to Reid, this is bad for everyone? And now schumer who is half as smart is running the minority post and sure to blunder it? When we need a balance of power the Democrats fail at that as much as having full power.

In the long run this benefits Dems :thumbsup:

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.

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.
