Because our first choice, sending him to Siberia, might raise too many eyebrows.
Gee, one of Donnie’s lickspittle generals didn’t grovel enough, so he’s fallen out of favor.
Should have gotten lessons from Kelly…
The search for someone even more malleable and spineless begins.
The Pentagon is exploring options that would give President Donald Trump the ability to move his national security adviser H.R. McMaster out of his role in the White House and back to the military.
Really? Just so he will have to follow orders of the Commander in Chief and keep his mouth shut. I can imagine Trump the Vindictive Baby-man - “Come here, General. Now…sit, roll over, beg. Do not speak.”

Better idea: Let McMaster stay in the White House. Move Trump to the military.
“PFC Trump” sounds like a good start.
isn’t he one of the folks keeping us from nuking NK?
I’m thinking it will be a major success to get to the next election cycle without having destroyed the world so my hope-bar might be set a bit lower than average.
Exactly the word that popped into my head as I read this story. Trump needs someone of the rank, “Lickspittle, First Class.”

Everything Trump Touches Dies (Rick Wilson)
including honor and careers.
PLO… Permanent Latrine Orderly.
Nuking, probably, but I’ve read he’s something of a Korea hawk, though. It’s an arguable position that simply living with the situation as Kim builds more weapons puts the world in increasing danger. It’s not necessarily something I believe myself but it’s arguable. But he’s a voice of reason in that White House. The more Trump wants him to go, the more I wish he’d stay. But obviously his ass-kissing skills are deficient for the role.
“Trump believes McMaster is condescending and unfriendly, the source told CNN.”
Almost snorted coffee through my nose when I saw that. 
Sounds more like someone else we all know.
Well, ish. He’s one of the people advocating for using a “Bloody Nose” attack on NK to convince Kim to stand down his nuclear program. A lot of analysts think it would make Kim use his nukes first, rather than as a last resort.
Potato - Potahto.
Anyone have any thoughts on this Flynn development?
Oh FFS, is he? That tactic has been gamed/sim’d to the rafters and always ends in the apocalypse.
dude on TRMS called it a nothingburger; part of a judge’s standard operating procedure. RWNJ’s will clamor for Flynn to withdraw guilty plea citing Mueller-conspiracy theories.
I don’t know who might replace him, but would guess that whoever it is will have difficulty getting a security clearance.
I was leaning towards the nothingburger myself until I remembered the Bundy case getting thrown out. I’m worried that tactic could surface in other trials going forward.
ETA: I’m thinking that they would use the Bundy style fuckup in the Manafort trial instead of the Flynn case being as Flynn already plead guilty.
With Trump, if you even whisper a truth you get sidelined? This isn’t going to end well.
