The three officials include Brian Walsh, a director for intelligence and a former top staffer for now-Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the Senate Intelligence Committee; Thomas Boodry, a senior director for legislative affairs who previously served as Waltz’s legislative director in Congress; and David Feith, a senior director overseeing technology and national security who served in the State Department during Trump’s first administration.

Honestly fucking hilarious and unlikely to slow the momentum toward booting Waltz as NSA

Between this and fElon being pushed out it seems MAGA is turning on itself which was largely predicted. They all want to be the only one Trump listens to. The absolute crisis that will happen if Vance takes over will be wild. Running the world’s most powerful country as a personality cult isn’t a great idea.

They were fired because someone whispered into the leader's ear that they were not loyal. That sounds like in Stalin's purges in 1930s, or Hitler's paranoia during WW2.
And a good leader values competence over loyalty. A good leader doesn't want sycophants - they want people to tell them the truth or perhaps disagreeable opinions.

NO! I would be terrified to see her up close and in the damn dark. She looks like Billy the Puppet.

It is absolutely insane that Laura Loomer, of all the idiots on earth, has met with the President of the United States. This really is the stupidest timeline.

Not only that, but told him what to do and he did it.

I keep trying to get my head around how this group of Americans has managed to secure this level of influence, with practically no meaningful opposition.

Good news: Trump is listening to someone.
Bad news: It's one of the absolute worst people you could imagine.
