Yep, a high voltage shock collar can work wonders on a rabid orange mutt.
McMaster is the next former national security advisor.
Translation: They hate each other.
Somebody said the other day that Trump has a “feral” sense of how to survive, especially in a short-term crisis of his own making. And I think that while he chafes at McMaster’s reining him in and keeping him from doing crazy stuff, he knows on some level that things could be worse without that restraint. It’s like in the last two weeks of the campaign when he seemed to have a visceral sense that one more of his crazy stunts could sink him. It’s not that he wouldn’t get rid of McMaster. But I think that as much as he hates any adult restraint, there’s another part of his addled mind where he dimly perceives that he needs adults around to save him from himself. So there are warring impulses on both sides of that. In other news, it’s a day that ends in “Y.”
McMaster will last as long as Kelly does. 3-4 months give or take. Then Trump will have yet another post to fill.
I hope they’re posting all these job openings somewhere reputable on the Internet. Otherwise, you end up with a guy like Steven Miller as communications director.
not necessarily…
OT—but this never gets old or tired.

The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
Emma Lazarus (November 2, 1883)
How about if I just fed Trump the cake as his last meal? Does that count as my good deed for the day?
BTW, I know that’s not really Trump. Those fingers are way too long. The real Trump would have long since fallen.
I would rather you made him a very special chocolate pie—if you get my drift.
“General McMaster and I are working very well together. He is a good man and very pro–Israel. I am grateful for the work he continues to do serving our country,” Trump told reporters in the White House press pool just before 11 p.m. Friday.
Someone has to do a study of the non-sequiturs that Trump includes in his every statement. I mean, because, really, so many of our recent National Security Advisors have been tough on Israel.
“General McMaster and I are working very well together. He is a good man and very pro–Israel. I am grateful for the work he continues to do serving our country,” Trump told reporters in the White House press pool just before 11 p.m. Friday.
Here are two examples:
Friday, White Sox executive vice president Kenny Williams gave his manager, Robin Ventura, the cliched "vote of confidence," despite the team’s struggles this year.
Saturday, Ventura says he appreciates the support, but joked that it’s like a "kiss of death."
Ventura resigned in 2016.
Though its from ‘45’s’ fanbase, here’s the political example

“He is a good man” = kiss of death. Goodbye McMaster, we hardly knew ye.
McMaster of puppets, I’m pulling your strings,
Tweeting your mind, hashtagging everything
My view is that he likes military authoritarianism more than other forms of authority It’s not that he appreciates the restraint, I don’t believe he has that level of self-awareness. More that the military can make big booms and help Trump look winning by ramping up those booms around the globe.
I guess Jared had better polish up his resume…gonna need a new National Security Director.
If McMaster is out, it means Bannon won.
"Heck of a job, General . . . . .
In this case it may actually be relevant. Bannon’s crusading to oust McMaster and one of his propaganda “talking points” is that McMaster is anti Israel.
