Karl Rove: WH staff has been leaking info on each other for weeks

Karl Rove, a former senior adviser to President George W. Bush, said Sunday President Trump's aides "have been leaking on each other for weeks."

"[T]hese people have been leaking on each other for weeks," Rove told host Maria Bartiromo on Fox News's "Sunday Morning Futures."

"Unnamed White House officials are dissing to reporters about other people inside the White House," he added.

Rove said these leaks are one of the three reasons he believes there is "acrimony" between three competing factions in the White House, which he said include the allies and supporters of senior adviser Jared Kushner, chief strategist Stephen Bannon and chief of staff Reince Priebus.

Better than leaking something else on each other I guess.

The dictator likes to keep his underlings fighting with each other so they don't question his leadership and fawn all over him in efforts to secure his blessing. He'll give them overlapping responsibilities and then sit back and smile as they try to tear each other apart, and only HE can resolve the resulting messes. That way, HE always wins. At least within his own little world of horrors.

I found this really weird youtube channel called
Deep State.

Some crazy pissed off mad people on that channel.

They are are really pissed off about Steve being treated so bad.

They are not happy about

Thump kids taking over.

Take a stiff drink before going over to this youtube channel.

I probably wouldn't last 30 seconds - low tolerance for their idiocy. I'll just be happy that they seem to have at least 4 major factions (Trump, Bannon, Kushner, traditional Priebus rethugs, along with various self-directed crazies) all at war with each other.

The woman was totally out of her mind.

The people who were posting were just as crazy.

They wanted President Steve.

Thrump has let out all crazy people.

Employees overlapping responsibilities and to have only one boss for an employee. DT violates every rule. Maybe that has something to do w all of his BKs. Maybe he enjoys the backbiting and choas, so he doesn't have to think about the real problems facing our nation.
