I don't give a shit about Omarosa, or the fact that she was fired, or the fact that Trump is in a spat with her on Twitter. All of that is just baseline craptitude with this administration. What is interesting is this:
1) Omarosa claims that Kelly took her to the Situation Room to fire her;
2) Not the CNN show, the actual Situation Room - the most secure SCIF of all the SCIFs; and
3) Omarosa has a recording of the event on her phone.
Why are they using the Situation Room for routine personnel issues and how the fuck was she allowed inside the Situation Room with a phone? If true, this was General John Kelly - the man in charge of running the White House - pulling some seriously amateurish bullshit. What's next? Will we find out that Kislyak got a private tour and took some "selfies" in there? (I actually think this may well have happened and, if not, Uncle Vlad definitely gets a tour).
The people running the country are dangerously incompetent. I keep hearing that we've been lucky so far, in that they haven't been tested with a major disaster, but they have: Puerto Rico. And they failed miserably and continue to fail miserably. Without fanfare or much reportage, the official death toll in PR from "Maria" was upped from the initial ~60 to just under 1,500. One and a half THOUSAND people died as a direct result of the storm. The island remains without reliable power, which means they don't have reliable water, or schools, or hospitals, or stores, or offices, or street lighting, or emergency services or pretty much anything you can fucking think of. I'm sure Trump (and his base) thinks of them as Sea Mexicans, but they're American citizens, and they're being left to rot, out of sight and mind, on a devastated island.
