Dan Coats is out as the head of National Intelligence, Trump announced with a tweet. Coats was one of the few remaining WH staffers who dared to speak the truth to Trump. He publically contradicted Trump's claims about Putin being 'innocent' and Kim being 'trustworthy.'

Rather than picking Coat's second in command as the 'acting head' Trump is going to announce who the new acting head will be.
He's already picked the person he wants to replace Coats with - (a position that is supposed to be apolitical) - Republican Representative John Ratcliffe.
Ratcliffe auditioned for his new appointment by aggressively questioning Robert Muller in his testimony last week, accusing Mueller of mistreating Trump.
We now have the perfect Trump toady selected to hold the cabinet level position of director of National Intelligence - someone who will 100% always agree with Trump.
The intelligence community is scared. Those of us with any sense will be, too. Not just about losing Coats, but about how Trump is gradually replacing qualified professionals with yes-men who are willing to lie for him - look at Barr.
I can't think of a single company or nation that was run by a leader who surrounded himself only with sycophants where it ended well.

Yup, a true Basket of Deplorables- just like someone pointed out once before. The name becomes even more warranted day by day. |

I AM afraid. Reading this in the news is just chilling |

Apparently, whoever puckers up the best, gets the next job opening. So much winning!   And, notice how he "always" hires the most qualified?  |

Maybe he's rating them on how qualified they are at licking ass. If that's the case, he's doing a fine job.
