That's very funny, because last night watching Lou Dobbs (David Asman filling in for him) one of the panelists said that he was amazed in the wake of Porter's resignation, that Trump "has the most remarkably competent core left of economic and military advisors of any administration in my lifetime." And Asman readily agreed.
You have a Secretary of State who ran Exxon/Mobil, which last time I looked was the largest corporation on earth in profit, to the point that its profits exceeded numbers 2,3,4,5, and 6 combined. Who has managed world-spanning budgets that exceed the annual GNP of many countries.
Trump's chief of staff is a general who was in command and had a plan to win in Iraq and Syria, but Barack Obama fired him. Now we are seeing that general's plan implemented, and in barely a year has wiped out out 97% (!!!!) of ISIS strongholds.
Similarly economically, Trump has overseen the largest stock market gain of our lifetimes. And even a few days of very large corrections have not come close to eliminating the gains.
Looking back at the Bill Clinton and Barack Obama administrations, I saw a number of similar exposures, scandals, and forced resignations. In Obama's case, an unprecedented number of unvetted corrupt incompetents that were, when exposed, unable to take the cabinet positions they were appointed to. Including a Treasury secretary who had not paid his taxes!
So... spare me the diatribes about how Trump's people aren't the best.
And as I recall, even Porter's ex wife didn't feel his past offense rose to the level he should lose his office.

I have a few other appointed corrupt incompetents I'd like to add to the list: Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Bruce Ohr, Sidney Blumenthal, Christopher Steele, James Clapper, Michelle Rhee, and ultimately Hillary Clinton!
The worst rat's nest of self-serving America-destroying power-abusing enemies of the state to be appointed to high office since Watergate.
And when all is laid on the table in the coming months, probably EVER !

I think it's a fact that some of the women who have destroyed men in the last year are not telling the truth, and have other motivations than what they front.
In this case of Rob Porter, there are police reports and photos of one of his wives with visible bruising.
Okay, so he's a jerk (or at least is a guy who made some bad decisions in the past) and when the White House chief of staff got the news and reviewed it, Porter was forced to leave in a few hours. And now Democrats try to make it so that ALL in the White House are guilty of something because Porter slipped through the cracks. HE WAS FIRED! What more do you want?
The call for chief of staff Kelly to resign is absurd. Porter was hired by Reince Prebius, he was already in place when Kelly became chief of staff. There is some controversy over why the FBI slow-walked Porter's background check. And there is only one reason Democrats want Kelly leveraged out: He is a very effective chief of staff, who has overseen a rise in Trump's popularity and legislative success as president, and commensurate rise in the polls.
I'll take the Democrats seriously when they completely abandon sexual harasser/assaulter/rapist Bill Clinton, and his enabling wife Hillary, who led the charge to publicly destroy his victim accusers. Women SHE KNEW to be telling the truth. But destroyed them anyway, for no other reason than to advance her political ambitions at their expense.
- from Do Racists have lower IQ's...
Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.
EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
