    Report: McMaster Out


    National Security Advisor Gen. H.R. McMaster will depart the White House, following months of indications that President Donald Trump was seeking to replace him.
    The Washington Post broke news of Trump’s decision Thursday night, citing five administration sources.

    I'm going to have a sit down with the leader of North Korea.

    But first I need to fire my secretary of state and then I need to get rid of my national security advisor.

    Both of which needed to go.

    He didn't need either one to sit down with N. Korea.

    Trump has done a lousy job with staff picks. Tillerson supported the Obama deal on Iran, so why was he ever made Secretary of State anyway? As for McMaster, he also would have been more at home in an Obama administration. He should never have been picked by Trump.

    Trump is his own worse enemy. He makes bad picks and then has setbacks because of them. He has not secured one penny from Congress to build a wall and that project seems stalled for a couple of years. And then he has bimbo eruptions like Clinton and Kennedy did. And then he says things that get twisted out of shape by the press when he could have been quiet.

    However, Hillary had no personal plan except more Obama socialism and she especially hates the common people in the areas hit hardest by the recessions, as she has made very clear in statements all over the world. So Trump is an ally of the conservatives and about the only ally at this time. The Democrats made it clear with Clinton-Lewinsky that they were not going to remove a President for adultery so there is no reason to reason to differ from them as a matter of practical politics when there is no other ally available. Trump was the first choice of only a few Republicans in the primaries but he won the primaries and the general election but many of his cabinet and staff picks were bad.

    They’ve got until 5 PM today to fire McCabe, which would stop his 1.8 million dollar pension. If we’re waiting on our loser DOJ, we can kiss that money goodbye too.

    He's not a politician. He's unlike any of the political do nothing good-ole-boys and that is his strength and gives him the ability to shake the cages and drain the swamp (even of his own critters who bite him).

    "You're Fired" - remember? :)

    I expect it will go on for another 7 years.

    Must be great for recruitment--having a moody boss that you have to walk on eggshells to be around. Lots of people would sign up for that duty, right?

    McCabe is another deep state bureaucrat and needs to be fired...and possibly prosecuted.

    The pension doesn't really play into it, for me.

    They're all grown ups.

    Be on board or don't enlist, is my advice.

    Globalists need not apply.

    Is he moody or is he slow to realize his mistakes?

    In the liberal mindset you just don't fire public employees. Bad teacher? Sad, but you can't actually fire them. Bad employee at the DMV. God forbid you fire them. Bad cabinet performance? Heavens no, you can't fire them. Nobody gets fired. Bad cop Comey? Noooooo, you didn't just fire him?

    Trump finally opening eyes to accountability in Washington. Do a terrible job, you lose it. Don't want to lose it? Do a perfect job. God bless 'em.

    I know this for a fact having had government software contracts in which senior employees where not disciplined for slowing down projects and IN FACT they blamed the contractors for the slow down aaaaaarrrggg!!:mad:

    Fortunately the high level managers knew the truth and didn't let the contractors get booted out the door.

    This is a true happening. The numero uno manager came into the contractors area and called a meeting saying - please stop complaining - just calm down, no one is losing their contract position but you have to be quiet about this - everyone - no one is going anywhere, I'll handle it. Do this for me.

    We did.
