So... what exodus?

Thanks for your lack of text to show your delight!

No comment except a one-liner, as usual?

He just takes a crap on the board and then leaves... what else should we expect from a demoCRAP?

Mind you, I posted a very pro-Trump story regarding NK this morning.

The markets are not liking Cohn leaving, on the heels of Porter. There's no doubt that the tariffs are why:

By morning perhaps this will turn around, but when Cohn was thought to be ready to exit, after the Charlottesville problem they also tanked.

It's a biased group here. ;) Gotta cover the behind.

[Black Diamond]

So... what exodus?
The one where Obama parts the Red Sea.

[aboutime]

petey, our friendly liberal TURD-MASTER, is convinced only he knows what the underlying reasons are for anyone who leaves the administration.

Oddly enough. Turd-Master petey intentionally NEVER mentioned the number of people who left the OBAMA administration early, or the Clinton admins.

That would prove petey is a HYPOCRITE....which....he really is.

[Gunny]

It's a biased group here. ;) Gotta cover the behind.I don't know who he is, nor why anyone cares if he quits.

[Black Diamond]

I don't know who he is, nor why anyone cares if he quits.
He's a free trade globalist. And an economic advisor on trumps team. His resignation makes people think trump may actually carry out his America first agenda.

[pete311]

I don't know who he is, nor why anyone cares if he quits.

He's was the senior economic advisor. Some thought he was next in line for fed chair. That's a big deal.

Obama's Military Coup Purges 197 Officers In Five Years

It is the latest in a series of high-profile departures from President Trump's team.
There has been speculation that Mr Cohn, a supporter of free trade, was angered by Mr Trump's plans to impose tariffs on aluminium and steel imports.

Okay. Say Cohn quit because he didn't like the direction the "company" is heading. Bid deal. I've done that. I think it's called "choice".

See what happens. Maybe he will play Benedict Arnold like Scott McClellan did and go on every interview show imaginable bashing the administration.

Who cares?

Let him say what he wants. Why work for a boss you disagree with? On Trump's part, why keep an unhappy employee you fundamentally disagree with?

Seems pointless. Kind of like Pete trying to make a big deal out of somebody I never heard of quitting a job .... Last I heard, the only job you haven't quit (or been let go) is the one you have NOW.

I think McClellan was worse. He was all about the administration towed the bush line and then when he's gone, he's sitting on Bill Mahers lap.

Maybe it was important at the moment. I guess. When I see crap like that I just dismiss it as sour grapes and find something "real" to bitch about.

For some reason, anytime some is fired or quits on Trump, Pete gets all wet over it and has to make an announcement. I don't however recall any Pete proclamations each and every time Mueller's "investigation" is shown to be a phenomenal, partisan witch hunt.

Yeah I don't remember it being all over the news but I remember seeing him and for some reason it burned my ass. No one tops John Dean, though. Special place in Hell for him.

Playing keep-up with fabricated, the sky is falling leftwingnut stories just doesn't fit my schedule. :laugh:

True. Such is the news cycle these days. Except for sex scandals. That's a different animal.
