There was a rather disturbing development today.
There was a lot of distractions. But, in the middle of it all, some of the top officials at the State Department were fired. The first report was that they had all resigned. Obviously, a planted story.
Why would Trump, and the men behind him, want to get rid of the most experienced, most qualified people in our State Department? And put Putin's oil man in as the Secretary of State?
Well from kt's POV,"rather disturbing developments" will be pretty much daily fare.
1.) Be that as it may, the WashPost and other MSM outlets
went Fake-News and reported they'd resigned, as if in some sort of heroic symbolic protest. They may have "resigned", but when given a choice: resign or be canned.
2.) This was just a handful of mid-upper bureaucrats, who oversaw the operations of embassies, consulates, and like facilities. Necessary functions, but, contrary to DU-Prog-Lib hysteria-mongering, no diplomatic crises will result, on any level.
The MSM have, since 11/9/2017, been fear-mongering a
chaotic administration narrative, and DU-folk have been eagerly lapping it up. Reality has been quite different, but Libs' & Progs' capacity for denial is quite elastic.
