    Can she tell the truth even once in a while? I bet no other cabinet and WH has had even close to turnover (43%) this one has... especially with people leaving under scandal.

    Couldn't find anything that compared Trump's term to date, but here's something that looked at his first year (December 2017):

    considering that JCS, during the "great" time were seriously considering 1st nuclear strike with the knowledge of the 600M+ death toll estimate (which we now know is an underestimate)... yea




    There is a remarkable chapter in your book called Questions For The Joint Chiefs. When you write that President Kennedy coming into the White House - he did not have nor did anyone on his team have a copy of essentially our plan for nuclear war, the Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan, and that when they asked for it, they were - you know, that the military was sort of reluctant and then they gave a briefing but not the actual plan itself, you had a copy. You examined it, and you wrote some questions. You - what troubled you about the plan that you saw?

    ELLSBERG: Well, many things. It was a very strange plan. I'm not the only one who's called it the worst plan in human history. This was the plan for general war. It was an all-out attack on every city in the Soviet Union and China and attacks in effect in most of the Eastern Bloc because of air defenses and command and control that kept for no reserves, created fallout that would kill perhaps a hundred million people in West Europe for our own weapons if the wind were in the right direction for that.

    And many - and a hundred million in other contiguous areas the Soviet Union like - neutrals like Austria and Finland and Afghanistan (laughter) actually but also several hundred million in the USSR and China - several hundred million killed. That added up to an intention in a U.S. first strike, if we preempted or if we escalated a war in Europe, to 600 million dead that they were calculating, a hundred Holocausts.

    DAVIES: You know, when you were looking at nuclear policy in the 1960s, there were consequences of a widespread nuclear change that scientists weren't yet then aware of, what people call nuclear winter. You want to explain what that is and what stakes it presents?

    ELLSBERG: Yes. What I discovered - to my horror, I have to say - is that the Joint Chiefs of Staff contemplated causing with our own first strike 600 million deaths, including 100 million in our own allies. Now, that was an underestimate even then because they weren't including fire, which they found was too incalculable in its effects. And of course, fire is the greatest casualty-producing effect of thermonuclear weapons. So the real effect would've been over a billion - not 600 million - about a third of the Earth's population then at that time.

    You can admire his principles but this just allows an evil freak to take the post.

    Haspel's previous call to fame was being appointed as deputy director of the CIA by trump, who at the time said she was the "first female career CIA officer" to be named to that post (of course, a trump mistruth since Obama appointed Avril Haines to the same post in 2013).

    Previously...

    Tillerson dares to connect Russia to the UK poisoning and is summarily terminated. The most incompetent and compromised administration perhaps ever.

    Not one to put lots of credence in WashEx (the newspaper version of Fox News), but...

    Trump being a coward who can't confront people face to face should get more play.

    Amazing Race used to have an entirely different cast every new season, 2 seasons per year? Totally normal.

    The actual author of "The Art of the Deal" said this before the election. So far his entire personality profile has been spot on. He repeatedly said that Trump doesn't fire people, instead trying to make them quit by making them miserable. If a firing takes place it is by having someone else do it.
