Trump MAGAThread IV: Twixt Scylla & Some Bad Hombres

[Eol Sha]

So has Flynn resigned?

I wonder what that will mean for his proposed Middle East policies.

welllll trump is likely to put in another nut, its what he does after all. but the next nut is unlikely to have colluded with the Russians efforts to influence our elections.

Those aren't the allegations against Flynn.

they are if you read the reports. he was talking to the Russians before the election. why would he pay them off with sanction relief otherwise?

All sorts of nuts out there, I suppose, but given the policy flexibility of the trump administration, I am interested as to whether flynns ideas will continue with his successor.

I'm mostly concerned because several analysts (and posters here) were treating Flynns thoughts as actual policy plans.

no way to know but there is no reason to think that trump would avoid someone with the same mind set.

Keith Kellogg, David Petraeus, and Robert Harward seem like the leading candidates. Stephen Hadley is another potential choice.

Trump really likes Petraeus, but he's got a lot of baggage (with the whole mishandling of classified info scandal).

His resignation was ordered. It's like halfway between resigning voluntarily and being fired, I think.

No, it's pretty much being fired. Like if your boss approaches you and says "I got all this shit here that I can fire you for, and one way or the other you're not going to be working here at the end of the day, but I'm giving you the option to quit right now and spare us both the circus".

I would enjoy the crisis if something definitive came out, and Trump, Pence, their entire cabinet, and much of their appointed officials were charged with treason.

We can only hope.

Then Paul Ryan would become President, right?

I really don't like Ryan, but he'd be someone I could settle for begrudgingly.

I think the issue is that people actually believed we could somehow be 'friends' with Russia like Trump alleged.
