"Grown-ups in control" (except for the Oval Office).
I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it:

Steve Bannon loses National Security Council seat - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-39508351

I do fervently hope this is a turn to competence where seriously needed, in spite of the idiot in chief.
With Bannon out, White House gets serious about national security

A competent government under Trump would only mean perpetuating the GOP monopoly. I would rather a dysfunctional Trump administration.

A new Healthcare Plan? Bring it on.
Tax cuts for the wealthy, call it what it is.
Architectural plans for the Trump Great Wall, go for it.
Continue to saber rattle NK, please.
Threaten Putin over Syria.
Tweet away to your heart's content.

No worries. There's little chance of Trump becoming even a marginally effective President. He is mercifully incompetent.

Has anyone done a cost/benefit study for the great wall? Is it really worth the cost or are we shooting our foot off over fear mongering? And what about the environmental impact, migrating herds and such. Anyone putting any thought into that or is this going to be another knee jerk boondoggle?


And did you really just write "a competent government under trump"? LOL!

If the idiot in chief thought he was getting a covert easy path to a kleptocracy similar to the Russian Federation with their assistance​, discovery and the realities of the Presidency have certainly sidetracked that self-serving fantastic agenda. One hopes there's enough unencumbered competence in the admin to replace that absent from the Oval Office.

Is it too much to expect the US to make four years of the idiot in chief on autopilot?

Is there any possibility that Bannon was the primary problem? I kind of get the feeling Trump follows, he tries to say the right things(even though he is clueless) . Maybe Bannon had Trump's ear all this time and he was the reason for this outrageous BS we have had to deal with. Here is hoping!!!!
