Washington Is In Political Chaos

The mainstream Media is proclaiming chaos in our nations's Capitaol, but much of it seems to be of their own devise.  President Trump claims his Administration is humming like a "fine -tuned machine".  Meanwhile, he has asked for and received the resignation of National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn, whom he assures us has done "nothing wrong".  So, why did he ask for his resignation, after less than a month on the job?

Whatever happened to the concept of a "100 Day Honeymoon", or a grace period for each new president's Administration, once they first take office?  I guess that's only true for an administration that the liberal Media likes.  The Trump Administration doesn't qualify!

And why is it taking so long to approve the appointments of the rest of Trump's nominees?  I think the Democrats are mostly responsible for bogging down the confirmation hearings, but I thought the Republicans were prepared to use the so-called "Nuclear Option" that the Democrats voted into law, which  said appointments could now be made by a simple majority vote of the Senate, instead of the former 2/3rds. requirement.  So why don't they use it, and tell the Democrats to, "sit down and shut up"!  The Democrats are probably trying to drag it all out  until the Midterm elections, in the hope that they can win a new majority in the Senate.  Do you think they will be reluctant to us the "Nuclear Option" against the Republicans?

I just hope the Republicans who lost the nomination to Trump are not still so bitter as to put their personal feelings ahead of the future of our nation, and to side with those nitwits in the Democratic party, just to make things difficult for Trump.  I certainly hope they are not so shallow, and immature as to place their own disappointments ahead of our collective national interests.  If so, I, at least, will remember their behavior, if they ever plan to run again for the nomination!
