Time for a true patriot to bleed. Say “enough” and take the consequences.

Will he have a XXXXXL diaper with him, or will be able to get it onto Baby Huey before the briefing?

How the fuck does the “pro-business” Pissident expect us to get any work done? Productivity levels are plummeting.

What the fuck is McMaster going to say that can pull these very scorched, to the point of carbonized, chestnuts out of the fire? TASS is bragging about it. Bet he doesn’t take questions.

Tass, a news agency owned by the Russian government, reported on Tuesday that President Donald Trump likely passed highly classified information to Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak.
In a Russian-language report on Tuesday that pointed to The Washington Post‘s original reporting, Tass said that Trump talked “in detail about the new threat posed by the [Islamic State], involving the use of laptops on flights.”
“Trump said the terrorists may carry out some attacks, and explained what kind of damage they can cause,” the Tass report explained. “He also called the city on the territory controlled by the group where the partner of the US on the exchange of intelligence discovered a new threat.”

People are gonna die.

If McMaster is the great patriot, he will quit. If he thinks he is being a patriot by staying and enabling the Orange Menace, he should think about how history will remember him. At the side of a lunatic, doing his bidding.

That’s what I thought about Colin Powell.

Whose job is it to declare martial law in the executive? Lincoln did it after congressional authorization, but could an underling like McMaster do it?

Will he address the obvious lie he made yesterday evening? McMaster said:

“Two other senior officials who were present, including the secretary of the state, remember the meeting the same way and have said so. Going on the record should outweigh the anonymous sources. I was in the room.”

But McMaster wasn’t “in the room”. Nor was Tillerson. From the accounts of the meeting, there were four present – trump, Lavrov, Kislyak, the TASS photographer:

It’s very clear that Tillerson and Lavrov met separately from trump. And no mention of McMaster at all. And he’s not in the photos. Straight-up lie.

Yup.

Will he wear the suit with the tire tracks on the back?

McMaster can only do one of two things. Either he bails on Trump and quits or he sacrifices his credibility by trying to diminish the significance of Trump’s unconscionable and traitorous stupidity. Frankly, I think his personal best option is to disembark before Trump’s leaking ship of state goes down with him on board.

As a service to McMaster I’ve taken the liberty of selecting his entrance/exit music.

Perhaps with a shirt emblazoned with either:
“I’m with stupid” or “I sacrificed my credibility and all I got was this lousy T-shirt”.

Sad.

I worry about martial law, too, but not quite from your angle - I worry about the imminent false flag terrorist attack(s) and this badministration declaring martial law while also declaring many of us as direct enemies of the state.

I’m guessing he pleads the 5th for his previous statements and resigns to stop his bleeding and loss of limbs.

And that statement describes the entire problem. No one knows what was said. Tass is reporting that it is ‘likely’ that classified information was shared. Consensus on the Right thus far is that the President can, in fact, do this with no interference because he is the Commander in Thief, I mean, Chief. GOP Congress says this whole thing is interfering in the peoples’, I mean benefactors’, business with respect to health insurance and tax cuts.

I’ve said it before: We can’t even describe the problem. How in the name of all that’s constitutional will we be able to resolve a problem that can’t be universally described?

I don’t think McMaster is going to give us any new information and, as someone stated above, he won’t be taking questions. Spicey will continue with the mantra that they’ve said all they’re going to say about it and refuse to answer further questions. And it won’t matter, because we will have no idea what the truth is in anything any of them say anyway, so why waste the bandwidth?

I honestly don’t want to hear or see anything until the indictments are made public and the perp walks are in progress. The rest is just speculation that raises our hopes, only to disappoint later because it doesn’t seem to go anywhere. As my late father used to say, ‘Sh&& or get off the pot’.
