New White House personnel chief tells Cabinet liaisons to target Never Trumpers

[Speedwell]

Is the issue that some don't agree with him? Or rather that they take actions many times to publicly demean and take actions against their employer? Does any American work place allow that?

As many American workplaces such as allow a supervisor to publically demean and take actions against the employees for personal reasons.

Such as whom?

 

[TLK Valentine]

Bah-ha. Sounds a little sophisticated for Trumpania tho, shooting refugees at the border puts him more in a Pinochet stylee I would say.

Well, while Donald certainly isn't the most well-read, there is a certain similarity.

Donald tends to see everything as a zero-sum game. It's not enough for him to win; someone has to lose.
It's not enough for him to be right; he has to show the other one wrong.

It's why he's a chronic counterpuncher -- he can't show he's not hurt (because he always is); he has to hurt others.

Hurting others becomes an affirmation of his happiness... from there, it's not a great leap for hurting others to become a source of his happiness.

His followers fall into line and think likewise because... well, they're followers. What else can they do?

There are examples of both Bobber. If you have not been paying attention to that, I can't really help you.

Also, he is not THEIR EMPLOYER, he is their BOSS. And there you again AGAIN equivocating Trump with America. They are not the same.

No, but you are implying that the US was somehow "out of shape" before Donald.

I'm simply requesting a bit of clarification.

OK, I'll clarify...The fact something/anything can be made better, or fixed, "put back in shape" . especially when there are many things being fixed, means that thing was, in a past tense, out of shape.

Hope that helps.

 

[Kenny'sID]

It's almost like you are trying to deny what demonstrably happened.

What exactly do you think has happened?

 

[Tom 1]

More like I don't clutch at straws.

Touché

 

[Kenny'sID]

Well ... he's not smart, ... he's uninhibited ... like most demagogues. There's a difference ...

I think he's pretty smart at what he does, you know, like running the country as the business that it is.

You say no, oh well. No surprise at all, when any such comment comes from the "Trump can't do nufin' right", crowd.

Not really. America was in a good place before Donald; one could argue that it is currently in a better place.

"Out of shape" explicitly means that something is in poor condition (specifically poor physical condition, but we can follow the analogy). And "poor" is not good. You can look it up if you're allowed to.

Hope you still think that when you get downsized.

of course you will; what choice do you have?

What president doesn't make someone unhappy? and be sure to number the list so I can keep up.

From the "This is how a 'fight to the death' ends when you lose", files: New White House personnel chief tells Cabinet liaisons to target Never Trumpers

Johnny McEntee called in White House liaisons from cabinet agencies for an introductory meeting Thursday, in which he asked them to identify political appointees across the U.S. government who are believed to be anti-Trump, three sources familiar with the meeting tell Axios.
...
Trump has empowered McEntee — whom he considers an absolute loyalist — to purge the “bad people” and “Deep State.”​

Trump should have cleaned house on day one like Obama did. It would have solved a number of issues.

personally, I didn’t think that when Obama downsized businesses in the US, forcing manufacturers to move out of the country. I was particularly unhappy when he said some jobs would never come back.

glad the the President waved his magic wand.

 

[grasping the after wind]

Like all the firing squads in Norway and Sweden?

C’mon man.

Norway and Sweden are not socialist countries.

What does this have to do with running the country like a business?

I mean, sure, if that's what you want, go ahead... just be sure to suck up to the boss -- he demands it.

 

[TLK Valentine]

Trump should have cleaned house on day one like Obama did. It would have solved a number of issues.

Well, considering that the Federal government has approximately 4,000 politically appointed employees, of which about 1,200 require Senate confirmation, that would have a daunting/nigh-unfeasible task even for an administration which was prepared for the transition... which Donald's was not.

As it is, Donald is surrounded by "Acting" directors of this-or-that...

 

[TLK Valentine]

personally, I didn’t think that when Obama downsized businesses in the US,

He who controls the past controls the future, and he who controls the present controls the past.

Norway and Sweden are not socialist countries.

Sometimes they are painted as such when the Right is trying to scare people about single-payer health care and other social programs.

And other times they are painted as such when the left wants to fool people into thinking socialism is not so bad.
