āTheRemovalā has to occur before Pornstache Bolton gets his hands on the wheels of policy. Phucker has been itching to nuke peeps for decades.
Sarah Sanders
ā@PressSec
Just spoke to @POTUS and Gen. H.R. McMaster - contrary to reports they have a good working relationship and there are no changes at the NSC.
7:12 PM - 15 Mar 2018
āā¦there are no changes at the NSC.ā
Not: āā¦there are going to be no changes at the NSC.ā
Buh-bye, H.R. Enjoy your new assignment.
Since Trump is the āsourceā for the McMaster firing story, I think the media is on pretty safe ground.
The key is when they say Trump has full confidence in you. Thatās when you might as well go clean out your desk.
Yup. If we havenāt heard āwe have full confidence inā¦ā, the firing is not yet imminent.
I was wondering the opposite. Maybe McMaster is doing it to KEEP his job? With an obstinate 4 year old in charge he might figure that it would be better to leak stories hoping trump would rather prove them wrong out of pure spite than move ahead with someone else.
The daily headline that writes itself:
White House Denies Reports That Trump Ready To Fire [Fill In Blank].
Iāve read McMaster was ready to go, but with Bolton on deck he might have reconsidered. Doubt he was the source, though. Not his style. Trump or someone at his direction leaked this dissatisfaction stuff, just to be a cruel vindictive jerk as usual. Thatās likeliest.
And donāt forget your jacket.
OTOH being hustled out without your jacket can mean youāve got a plum job lined up with the re-election campaign. You donāt want to think of it as entirely bad, necessarily.
The White House, aka Trump, specializes in telling lies.
From the WaPo story:
āKellogg travels with Trump on many domestic trips, in part because the president likes his company and thinks he is fun. Bolton has met with Trump several times and often agrees with the presidentās instincts. Trump also thinks Bolton, who regularly praises the president on Fox News Channel, is good on television.ā
JFC. I work at a company where the hiring and promotion criteria are just as fucked up as the Trump maladministration. But, at least the company I work at isnāt a military superpower, so thereās that I guess.
Well, if this WH affirmation isnāt the kiss of death, I donāt know what is. Bye bye McMaster.
Oh FFS
but then thereās this take:
TheRemoval is about to unfold?
or we muddle along.
make this shit show stop please Mr. Mueller.
Soā¦ heās gone by Monday?
All Sarah Sanders pronouncements can easily be translated into the muffled āmwah mwah mwahā noise that adults make in the Charlie Brown universe.
Too early for batshit crazy news releases. Maybe closer to 5 pm ET. Even betterāon the 24th, just before Stormy appears on TV?
Looks like we could have a reality teevee show in the White House, actors who play the president and his staff. It would be funny if it werenāt so deadly serious.
āAll right, Mr. DeMille. Iām ready for my close-up.ā
