#1 President Trumps biggest mistake was using so many hold-overs. After this election, he should have resignations on his desk the next day of every dismiss-able political appointee from GS-1 to a GS-O-My_God - and fire the lot of them if they even sniffed the air near Obama or Soros or Pelosi, Nadler, ~~Shit~~ Schiff, or their henchmen.

#2 Ya don't say...

A very American coup: no knives or gunfire or bombs, just relentless full-spectrum lawfare, congressional bolloxing and media bullshit

#3 President Trumps biggest mistake was using so many hold-overs.

What options did he have? He's a DC outsider, unlike DC insiders he did not have a ready bullpen of Party DC insiders ready to back him up.

In addition he's been met with non stop lawfare in and out of the judiciary, lots of resistance within both houses of congress by his own party and some might even say treason if you factor in the machinations of the SSCI.

So, OldSpook, what was that again?

#4 He was under investigation even before he was sworn in. He couldn't just fire everyone and I don't think he realized the partisan resistance he would face at all levels of government, with him being a business man and everyone just accepts the new CEO usually.

This time around, especially if the 'Pubs seize the house, expect massive firings throughout the government.

#5 Purge the SES gob network.

Members of the SES serve in the key positions just below the top Presidential appointees.

#6 "Old soldiers never die, they just fade away." Some don't just fade away when there are books to be written and sold and important think tank work to be done.

McMaster presents himself in a self-flattering way to Scott Pelley. What was his role in the coup d'état if any? I wonder who he viewed as his enemies at the WH beside Trump?

#7 McMaster was a good military commander, but he lost it in politics. As for the President, he should have cleaned house more than he did, but figuring realistically how to do it is a lot harder than knowing that he needed to do it.

Kind of like how Patton used the former Nazisin post WW2 Germany, except that the Nazis didn't backstab him the way the Obamanistas did Trump.

Interesting how that works, worse than actual Nazis.
