Only the Best People

[Rajoo]

President Trump insists his isn't a White House in chaos, but it's hard to deny the near constant churn of key aides, including Tuesday's announced departure of economic adviser Gary Cohn. A full 43 percent of top-level positions in the Trump White House have seen turnover. That is not normal.

"After two full years President Obama was at 24 percent and President Bush was at 33 percent," said Kathryn Dunn Tenpas of the Brookings Institution and the White House Transition Project, whose research specialty includes staff turnover. "So, [Trump] already passed them with his first year turnover. It continues to surge."

Let's give Trump a break OK, he is still looking for the best people and the better people are leaving. Except, only the worse ones stay behind.

So who is next? McMaster is a given, Kushner needs to be gone and take Ivanka with him. Kellyanne who is still on public payroll yet politicking. John Kelley who now can match Trump on lying. Just remember, it's not chaos but energy, lots of negative energy which is why people leave.

Betsy DeVos visits Parkland school, angers shooting survivors

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos made a contentious visit to the site of last month’s Florida school shooting Wednesday, in which she was criticized by survivors and abruptly walked out of her own press conference.

DeVos spent the morning at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where former student Nikolas Cruz gunned down 17 students and teachers on Valentine’s Day. Her visit immediately sparked criticism and backlash from shooting survivors and advocates on social media.

“Do something unexpected: answer our questions,” Aly Sheehy tweeted at DeVos. “You came to our school just for publicity and avoided our questions for the 90 minutes you were actually here. How about you do your job?”

Trump’s Department of Education chief can’t defend a single position she holds on education during 60 Minutes interview. Completely incompetent for the job. Only the best people...

I recall a thread from last year in which Whell (falsely) sang her praises for running a successful charter school (she didn't run it, she financed it).

So unsuitable for the job that they had to bring in Pence to cast the deciding vote. A year later, she’s proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that she’s unsuitable. Whell’s an idiot, as we are well aware, so can be ignored.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Furious about her treatment on the CBS news-magazine program on Sunday night, Betsy DeVos spoke to reporters on Monday, and called “60 Minutes” a “total waste of a half hour.”

“I had never watched ‘60 Minutes’ before, but I can tell you this, I will never watch it again,” the Education Secretary said. “I have better things to do with a half hour of my time.”

Calling her interviewer, Lesley Stahl, a practitioner of “gotcha journalism at its worst,” DeVos said that it was “very unfair of her to ask me so many questions about education.”

“She asked me one thing about schools, and then another, and another,” she said. “If I had to answer every question she had about schools, I would have had to bone up on education for a month.”

DeVos said that she was “frustrated” that Stahl neglected to ask her about any of her “really good ideas” for the nation’s schools, such as “purchasing guns for teachers with money that is currently being wasted on books.”

“If a bear comes into your classroom, throwing a book at him will only stun him momentarily, at best,” DeVos said.
