Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson has withdrawn as President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs, he said in a statement Thursday morning.
“Hoist with his own petard” is a Shakespearean idiom from Hamlet meaning “to cause the bomb maker to be blown up with his own bomb”. A petard is a small bomb used for blowing up gates and walls when breaching fortifications. It is of French origin and dates back to the 16th century.
Tom Bossert Homeland Security Adviser has been fired by the newly installed national security adviser John Bolton. Nadia Schadlow Deputy national Security Adviser for Strategy has been fired and will leave her position at the end of the month, she is the third senior national security official to be pushed out in the wake of national security adviser John Bolton’s entree to the White House.

Sarah Palin! Why does she not have an official part in the administration? It’s not like the bar was set to high for her and Trump needs more people.

Will the last adult in the Trump administration please turn out the lights? Maybe then all those dang kids will finally take their naps!

What do you think this says about this administration’s ability to vet it’s candidates before recommending them for positions as department heads?
