Cited NYT link says the number of Foreign Service Officers who've signed
the dissent cable is at about 1,000 so far, despite the likelihood of
Mr. Vindictive Narcissist attempting to crush their careers.
(My favorite #SpicerFacts tweet so far: 'Rome _was_ built in a day, and
Greece paid for it.')

I completely agree. The problem wasn't Tsar Donnie's firing of Yates
for insubordination (entirely within his rights), it was his setting up

_and_ the deranged post-firing #SpicerFacts rhetoric of calling that
insubordination a 'betrayal', etc.

And who could have _possibly_ predicted that?
(I should ask Ruben whether he figures Obama is responsible.)

Such a class act, every single time, our Tsar.
