His fan base in D.C. is certainly diminishing rapidly!

(7,006 posts)Now the "story" is the Reince had "resigned" yesterday (Thursday). The REAL TRUTH, he was Fired when The Mooch went Potty-Mouthed to that reporter.
Ryan and Reince are going to make sure Trump's reign in all things White House, will be short. They are BFF's and everyone knows it.

(7,006 posts)Now, We Have To Be Concerned How Much General Kelly Will Consolidate Power. In Particularity, We Have To Be WORRIED About Plutocracy Rule By Kelly's Military Force trying to center power directly at the White House.
This is why we believe Trump just Tweeted his Impeachment Beginning.

(53,061 posts)1) Do you agree with them on the policy
2) Do you agree with their epistemological discipline, in other words do they work from established facts and base their opinions based on logic based on their principles. Since Frum has worked his comeback from the disastrous Bush period I think he has been intellectually honest, an asset that would have served the country well had he used it under Bush.

(7,800 posts)The most overrated intellect in Washington, I've heard him recently referred to. I can't stand the smirking jerk - but if he finally goes after the evil emperor - I'll like him considerably more!!!

(53,061 posts)I think Frum was insinuating that WSJ and Ryan were coordinating to try and check Trumps wild excesses and was a relatively recent development. At least one of WSJ board endorsed Clinton.
I believe that this was the editorial in which Frum said the WSJ would have shared with Ryan ahead of time. To be clear I believe that Frum was suggesting that all editorials that the WSJ that would be critical of Trump would be shared with Ryan ahead of time.

(25,258 posts)Chief of Staff truly serves at the president's pleasure. It's not confirmed by the senate. He is not involved with the public like FBI director, AG etc.
