You heard here first...another shake-up in the daily reality show that is The White House...oh, and we mention naked burglars sleeping in the beds of their victims...happy Saturday!

I know, I know. There’s a lot more to worry about in the world right now…a queue of killer storms in the Atlantic…naked burglars sleeping in your bed…lunatics with supposed access to nukes in North Korea…than even contemplating the staff in the White House feeling less than collegial. But, there we are.

So, at the urging of senior members of the GOP, The Trump decided to get rid of his chief of staff, Rinse Twice Previous, in favor of a retired Marine Corps General John Kelly. I think most of America breathed a sigh of relief at that move. The maniacal tweets in the middle of the night seemed to slow…don’t think The Trump has tweeted anything too crazy since Kelly came onboard.

The infighting among the White House staff seemed to spin down some. Everything seemed to be going along okay. Course they had to get rid of alt-right madman (he’s angry) Steve Abandon (aka, two-shirts…he has a penchant for wearing two shirts at the same time…guess it cuts down on the need for a suitcase?).

But then…a couple of weeks ago I saw a report that said General Kelly was getting tired of taking abuse from The Trump.

I thought uh oh…here we go.

Now, today, I read that Kelly’s deputy, Kristjen Nielsen, whom Kelly brought over to the White House with him from Homeland Security may be on the chopping block.

Nielsen has a law background, but really made her bones as an expert in critical infrastructure protection…that’s government-speak for being good at getting to the bottom of who the bad guys are, what they’re up to, and then pointing the way to end their vocation.

She’s not someone you’re going to mess with. She eats whiners and slackers for breakfast. But, now the wall-street punks on the White House staff AND cabinet are accusing her of anti-collegiality. Uh huh.

What she’s been trying to do is instill some discipline in that bunch so they don’t appear to be the buffoons they currently appear to be. She is known for cancelling meetings with senior government officials if they’re late. Good for her.

She sends out emails discussing internal policy and planning with the caveat that anyone caught releasing information will be summarily terminated.

This is a no-nonsense, my way or the highway kind of person. Again, good for her.

Only problem is, she isn’t playing ball The Trump way. I give it another few weeks and she’ll be gone. That will probably tip Kelly’s hand to resign. Then we’re back to late night tweets threatening Mitch McConnell (Mr. Tortoise) and Paul Ryan (did you known his wife is the daughter of David Boren?) with the wrath of the torch and pitchfork masses if they don’t off their collective a**es and do something…anything. That will of course lead to a press conference with Mr. Tortoise chuckling and in his best Col. Harlan Sanders voice say, “The President obviously doesn’t know how things work in Washington.” All the while, the GOP legislators standing behind Tort (as he’s known to his colleagues) nod thoughtfully and hope their constituents see them on national TV.

Oh, oh…the other complain about deputy chief of staff Nielsen is that she is “squandering morale”…huh, WTF does that mean? There’s morale with that bunch left to squander? Their boss (The Trump) is probably the most divisive, demoralizing human being I’ve ever come across.

Okay, well, anyway, remember you heard it here first. I give Nielsen until mid-October. Kelly soon thereafter. And, then The Trump resigning before Christmas.

What a weird world.

That is all!
