入乡随俗
大熔炉，沙拉盆，还是海纳百川更好
昨天国务卿 Tillerson 离任时告诉外交部员工，华盛顿是 mean spirited town, 劝告来欢送他的人别学那样。最mean的人是谁，不言而喻。
川普班子里又有人辞职和被辞职了。孤家寡人，最后站在身边的可能是康女士。
昨天中午辞职的是川普的私人律师 John Dowd。川普有一个律师团，刀大律师是负责通俄调查辩护的团长。客户不听专业意见，输了官司律师名誉受损，不如趁早走人。这本是在预料之中。更何况前两天川普又请了一个狂喷阴谋论的律师，叫Joe DiGenova, 没和这团长打招呼。刀大律师声名显赫，客户不把他放眼里，干脆辞职了。
晚上是国家安全顾问 HR McMaster 表大将军被炒鱿鱼，这也不出意外。麦叔挺川不够卖力，老板早已不满意了，不知为啥拖了这样久。接任的 John Bolton 是个鷹派，伊拉克主战派。国家安全？阿弥陀佛！
麦大将军也是推特被炒，但他没骂过老板，川普只说是mutually agreed,，呵呵。
这两天城里讨论渣男，突然想到以后推特形成风气，会不会有渣男(女)发推特炒伴侣？或许有婚姻纸保护的不致于这样惨？这世道！
Kelly凯将军白宫大总管位子上也呆不久了，估计挺不到中期选举。美国总统不应该给独裁者连任助威，川普却一意孤行给俄国普京大帝打祝贺电话。他的高层顾问们极力反对无效，就有意泄露了给老板的劝告提示。凯将军堵漏不力，又是雪上加霜。
更能说明问题的是 Hope Hicks 辞职后，Kelly提名的通讯主任川普不认可。川普执意要把 Kellyanne Conway 康女士放这位子上。
川普上任一年，这个倒霉位子已换了四五个人。据说康女士不愿意坐这位子，但可能最终拗不过老川。其实让康女士接任 Hope 挺委屈的。Hope 不过是个愚忠的小秘，坐上主任高位只因老川信任她。而康女士是大将，spin的口才无人能及。虽然我不认同康女士说的道理，但很佩服她的才能。
推荐康女士给川普的是他背后的金主，一对叫Mercer的父女。康女士如果屈尊做了通讯主任，会不会在川普任满之前走人呢，辞职或是被辞职？
和平鸽飞了, 老鹰伺机俯袭。小鸡小鸭小牲畜们，自求多福吧。

不小心错删了昨天的帖，我刻苦认真学习的姿态。重演一遍，和同学们一块儿涨资识。
查字典
乖乖隆滴咚，美国的间谍头子好有文化，短短两句话里有两个字我不认识。
When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history. You may scapegoat Andy McCabe, but you will not destroy America...America will triumph over you. ～John Brennan，former CIA director.

Trump spent more time deriding Bolton’s mustache in the transition than focusing on why he didn’t want him as nsa. Kelly was said by multiple sources to have played role in souring Trump on Kelly - Kelly had a bigger problem with him than Trump did.
President Trump's decision to name John Bolton as his new national security adviser was made despite his distaste for Bolton's mustache,?according to multiple reports.
Trump's dislike for Bolton's mustache is well known.
Aides told?The Washington Post?in 2016 that Bolton's facial hair was one of several reasons Trump didn't pick him as his secretary of State. And The New York Times's Maggie Haberman reported Thursday that Trump spent a significant amount of time deriding Bolton for the mustache
以前白宫是剧场，现在白宫是赛场，根据对手不同换最合适的队员对阵有什么奇怪的。看不惯是老脑筋，看多了就习惯了。不服时间来证明，里贴为证。
蒂勒森说到点子上了，DC这座城充满了mean spirited people,都不是真正的善良的美国人，政客多，律师多，政府雇员多，不mean都进不了DC，不mean在这座城里就混不好，甚至混不下去。
