Pretty bold leap there I think. Flynn fucked up, so they bounced him. How is that a "flaw" in the administration?

What war?

The mistake was in giving the media this victory. Even if it isn't true, Flynn's resignation confirms for the media that they have some power over the administration. In theory, that is actually a good thing, but this media is a wing of the state, so it's not a good thing. It also "confirms" their "Russia did it" theories.

If Flynn did wrong, Trump should have set him on the sideline until his name was out of importance and then canned him. It may be the case that the intel community won this battle over Trump since they may have used Flynn as leverage to not brief Trump and his staff appropriately. Flynn's head likely has nothing to do with anything right or wrong he did but about how he went after the CIA earlier.

This could be a sign of a big loss against the swamp.

C'mon man, you can't win them all. I think Flynn's biggest mistake was not telling Pence the whole story before he went on TV. That embarrasses Pence, and thus the administration, bigtime. Flynn might have had more support had he not made that mistake.

The guy made the bosses look bad, and he got fired. You really can't pin that one on the media.

KellyAnn Conway is on borrowed time for pretty much the same reason. Though she's really good at catching the shit that gets thrown at Trump. They'll probably just wait until she's totally saturated with filth before they bring in a new sponge.

I hope you're right.

It's not so much that I pin this on the media, but on Intel espionage. If it was just the media, I think Flynn stays in and laughs about it. I don't like any signs that the deep state is getting their way, and I don't like giving the media ammo. I extra don't like that it appears that what Flynn did was par-for-the-course acceptable when done by a Democrat or by anybody who doesn't target Intel.

I wonder. I think the "massacre" thing was deliberate. It went a long way to trick the media into covering terrorism and thereby getting more citizen support for Trump.
