Live updates: US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz to leave post

I see a pattern here:

Trump puts a questionable someone in a visible position; gives them enough rope to hang themselves.

Questionable someone betrays, leaks, does some commie BS thing.

MAGA people post, discuss, repost for a day or two.

Then Trump says, "Oh well, gotta move that guy to the basement, no Swingline stapler."

Move to Next.

In the UK, when a Cabinet Minister does something to embarrass the Prime Minister and the party, there are a number of options. Sometimes resignation is the way to go. But there is also the time-honored tradition of finding a lordship for the offender and kicking him upstairs to the House of Lords. There he will never be heard from again.

That's what happened to Waltz.

I THINK IT IS THE SCARAMUCCI MODEL - let someone cause all hell to break loose, mark the screamers and then get rid of/move him, thank you very much.
