Personally, I think all of the people underestimating the administration are being foolish. Watch what's happening while these distractions are going on.
This. This administration is a LOT more clever than what we're giving them credit for. We are falling for the "look over there" gambit hook, line, and sinker. People getting worked up for good reason about the Muslim Ban, meanwhile he is gutting the AG's office and kicking the Director of National Intelligence and the fucking JCS off of the National Security Counsel and installing the CEO of a right wing Nationalism rag to the Principals Committee.
To repeat: the CEO of Breitbart is the leading member of the leading council of our National Security Counsel, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (the civilian in charge of the military) can attend when invited.
The ban on Muslim immigrants is extremely important, but this is much, much bigger.
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is a military General. The position rotates between the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chairman_o...s_of_Staff
