Except, I wasn't creating arbitrary unfounded discourse, or attacking one side or another; but questioning the idea that the guys supposed to remove the President if he lingers can have their Director fired and replaced by that same guy.

And this is even while under investigation and blocking a report on his conduct.

But sure, I am biased. Like half of Americans, I'm none too fond of either party - but this guy lies like a gaslight champion. Is that purely a left wing viewpoint, or is there an objective reality behind it? So maybe there's a wolf this time?

Have a look some time at how much the opinion of everyone but the top 10% of high earning voters matters on policy: Spoiler, it's zero. Has been for decades. Again, the 90% of Americans who aren't super wealthy have no effect on what policy gets through whatsoever, no matter which president has been in office.

Seems to me that there were enough of those 90% of Americans to vote Trump into office and thereby affect policy greatly.

And, I personally see this move as another of his swamp draining actions.

When Trump got into office, he didn't know who was who, so he went along with the suggestions of who should be in different posts. As time went along, he started figuring out who wasn't on Team Trump and worked out replacements.
