Karl Rove: Trump Will ‘Blast Presidency To Bits Before The Year Is Even Out’
And as you read the piece below, do note this bit from Rove...
[Mr. Scaramucci must employ] consultation, thoughtfulness, collegiality and [must] constantly think ahead.
... and think about it in the context of what we learned just two hours ago from The New Yorker's Ryan Lizza.

Even for this dramatic administration, the past seven days have been extraordinary. Start a week ago Wednesday, when President Trump said Attorney General Jeff Sessions “should hav
Only Karl (“Never let a good crisis go to waste.” – in 9/11 aftermath in context of the invasion of Iraq – a country not involved in 9/11.) Rove – would call Jeff Sessions “a decent and principled man.” Sessions is a widely known an openly accused bigot – a user of “boy” to address blacks” and a corrupter of democracy through voter manipulation (http://time.com/4663497/coretta-scott-king-letter-warren-senate-sessions/).
Rove’s statement is exceptionally informative, however. This is because it describes both Rove’s and the modern Republican Party’s concepts and definitions of “decency” and the “principles” to which they have repeatedly dedicated – and compromised themselves with. As the old saw goes “It takes one – to know one.” Rove has neither decency nor principles – and neither does his bud – Sessions.
Ironically, Sessions (and his dubious reputation and resulting lack of professional qualifications to be Attorney General (typical of most the Trump senior staffing) is being defended by both Republican’s and Democrats because:
1. Republicans know if Trump fires Sessions that Trump will be probably removed from office, or they themselves will be revealed as conspirators in Trump’s corruptions and that their ill-advised agendas will once again be lost for another generation.
2. Democrats defend him because they know if Trump fires him and Republicans continue to fail their Constitutional mandate to remove and incompetent and corrupted President from office – they have neither moral courage, the power or authority to remove him and that only leaves a military take over – which would essentially destroy the US democratic system of government – no matter how demonstrably dysfunctional it has become in recent years.
We as a country are at a cross-roads where failure to remove Trump from office by Constitutional processes, or a military coup – assures changes in the historic US democracy paradigm that the country likely will never recover from. The current operational strategy of the Republican Party of “We survived the incompetence of GW Bush and we’ll survive an elections corruption, incompetence and collusions with an enemy state of DJ Trump – is an extremely ill-founded and poorly based in non-comparable contexts. Which regarding the Republican Party senior leadership (minimally) takes us right back to “It takes one – to know one.” regarding incompetence and corruption.
So bad a condition that the electorate and Hilliaria have put us in! It almost makes me glad to be 74 years old with death not far away. I see no solution to this oligark transition of our Republic.
