Best of Trump

[Joey Mack]

It is unfortunate.. I really thought she would last a long time.   Hopefully Mr. Mullin will do a good job.

She didn't really get "fired" as much as some would like to believe, actually she just got transferred to a different department.

Its called "saving face". Do we not know how politics works yet? The Department of Homeland Security is a bipartisan cabinet level organization created via law by Congress with a 23 year history. It has a $105 billion annual budget and has 22 separate entities under its supervision. Being removed as its Secretary and assigned as an envoy for a gathering at a golf club means you are disgraced and inept regardless of what the tweets and talking heads say. The Shield of the Americas is not a department rather an idea conceived by this admin. Good or bad, my guess is it will cease to exist when the balance of power changes. Look at the list of firings, resignations, and dismissals from Trump's first term. When your no longer useful your gone. He has a very clear history of eating his political young.

Not much of an opinion on this one… don’t know enough about her of the position… but I did like that commercial… could a used it years ago bob

John Kennedy seems to hold a high amount of credibility on this forum. He is a US politician and thereby corrupt himself. However, you can tell he is really struggling not to flat out label her actions as corrupt. If she belonged to the other tribe my guess is he would have mopped the floor with her.

"my research shows that you did not bid them out. In fact that one of the people you picked, the Strategy Group, I'm sorry, Save America Media, was a company formed eleven days before you picked them. And that the Strategy Group got most of the money. The head of that is married to your former spokesperson."

A non corrupt, competitive bid process would never award a multi million dollar federal government contract to an 11 day old company.

lol clearly you do alotta reading.. bob

[mowerman]

Most of the time following news stories,,, all I hear is womp womp womp.. both sides blaming the other side… I usually root for what’s best for United States… and usually disappointed … lol bob

[mowerman]

Gasoline back to 415 a gallon here and nobody does shit about it …. And I totally blame west coast greedy politicians… this is ridiculous … thankfully I don’t use a whole lot of it.. bob

[mowerman]

We’re stuck paying high prices for Newsoms, California gasoline. I’m sure it’s probably all set in Stone and signed contracts and all that shit that nobody can really do anything with anyway OK now I am ranting lol happy Friday fellas ha ha

I don't understand politics, because I'm stupid, but there's this-

"Kristi Noem was NOT fired. She was NOT booted from the administration of Donald Trump.

She is moving into a new role within the administration, continuing to serve this country in another position.

That’s not being fired — that’s continuing to serve.

Let me break it down for the people pretending not to understand: if you work somewhere and your employer moves you into another role, you weren’t fired. You’re still part of the team — just serving in a different capacity.

Kristi Noem is an American patriot. She did a phenomenal job enforcing the law and standing up for the safety of American citizens.

Thank you for your service, and for continuing to serve this country."

I also heard that no she was not fired … but that’s what main stream media is telling us.. bob

[67RModel]

She obviously was not fired. She was reassigned to a position with no meaningful authority or any real accountability so as to make it appear it was not a mistake to put her in that position in the first place.

I got fuel yesterday.  This is Southern Ohio at a little mom and pop fuel stop i buy from all the time. Its usually one of the cheapest places in the area. I dont know what to say, but im pissed.

[mowerman]

Not sure what to make of it. I didn’t think she was a good pic to begin with. Seems some grouchy old drill. Sergeant would’ve been a better choice for that position.

[mowerman]

That’s pretty much regular prices around here it’s effing ridiculous. We got it down till like 385. We were all pissing our pants then right away and they come up with a couple of more excuses why it has to go racing right back up again and yes, 415 is the bare minimum here. I’ve seen it as high as 465 south of town everybody’s got more money.

[67RModel]

I guess I would say elevated fuel prices are a very predicable and expected outcome from any sort of agitation in the Middle East. What we are seeing now is total chaos and instability in the Middle East. You literally have a Muslim country firing rockets and drones into other neighboring Muslim countries, which is unprecedented. Most of those rockets are targeting oil infrastructure. I think one of Iran's strategies is to make gas prices so high so that those that still support Trump at home turn against him and he is forced into some type of off ramp on the war, strikes, military operations, or whatever its being called.

Neom:

It is very simple, she went from being an asset in his eyes to a liability. 

I have no idea if he knew about the ad campaign and its costs before hand or not. He didn't care about the mess in MN or the citizens being killed or hurt. But make him look bad with a multi million dollar ad campaign and YOU are going to take the fall, not him.  Waste fraud and abuse is in the spotlight, and you are going to take the fall. 

It wasn't Dem outrage that cause her to loose her job it was Rep outrage that did.

[67RModel]

Took this 20 minutes ago. PA does have very high fuel tax though...

[Joey Mack]

$3.19 here in central N.C.

[mowerman]

We would be thrilled with that
