THAT's distracting...

I used to think current National Security Advisor General H.R. McMaster was possibly worth having around. His book decrying the Vietnam War seemed credible and pointed to him having some sense about his philosophy regarding the exertion of American force abroad. He dug into the lies that led to the runup of the calamity that was the Vietnam War, full of stunning parallels to Afghanistan today. Turns out I was very wrong. And upon further inspection, McMaster cannot be allowed to run the National Security Council any longer.
McMaster has made his mark on the NSC over recent weeks. He has canned Rich Higgins, now former director of strategic planning over a memo Higgins wrote alleging that the Deep State is out to remove President Trump, something we are all quite aware of here at IWB. But that was not enough. McMaster went on to dismiss two more top officials brought on by former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn: Derek Harvey and Ezra Cohen-Watnick. Steve Bannon was also pushed out of the NSC earlier this year and he has clashed with McMaster regularly over draining the swamp that is Washington DC.
Alt-right new media personality and truth-teller, Mike Cernovich, said, “I read that Rich Higgins article that you wrote and I got triggered, because I thought that memo was brilliant. And I thought, ‘I’m gonna create McMaster Facts and I’m gonna start getting every leak I can about him,’” referring to a Rosie Gray story in The Atlantic about Higgins’s memo, detailing a very real plot by Islamists, globalists, and leftists out to destroy Trump.

It’s all about NK right now. We don’t care about this palace intrigue.
Do you have any other source other than this useless blog you keep click baiting to?
People are getting sucked into the #FireMcMaster bandwagon by nevertrumpers. They are getting rolled. Read these series of tweets;

Makes one doubt that Trump wants to Drain The Swamp.
Speak for yourself. No traitors on the team.
Yep, glad I follow that guy for a variety of reasons.
THAT's distracting...
Anyone who has doubts about LTG McMaster needs to review the history of 73 Easting.
Rich Higgins is a good man who was told to not issue separate policy papers without “command authority” to do so.
He screwed up. AMF.
PS, if you think that was too harsh, in the military, he would have been in much worse trouble. In civilian life, he would be unemployed very quickly.
So sorry, Rich. It will be tough making making $500K a year on K Street.
You are so totally wrong. McMaster is a uniparty neocon swamp creature—like the Never Trumpers.
I don’t know how you got it completely backwards.
Your take is exactly what LS said too.
When you breach the chain of command you cannot expect good things to happen
#1, Do you know anything about the man other than what you read on the clickbait sites? Seriously suggest you read history of 73 Easting, and then read his book “Dereliction of Duty.”
That book is the first true depiction in modern times of the geopolitical swamp that began to infect DC under LBJ, and the the JCS that went along with him.
#2,, Rich screwed up. You take your shot, you take your chances. You screw up in the Trump White House; “You’re Fired.”
Purging anti-Islamists is wrong. Every time.
Recent 0bama advisors need to be gone.
McMaster is a Islam denialist/apologist, he is an agent of the deep state out to get Trump, and he is very, very dangerous in his current position.
Interesting how McMaster gets blamed for firing the now-famous Rich Higgins, Derek Harvey and Ezra Cohen-Watnick, whom no one had ever heard about before last week.
More interesting is that as NSA McMaster is not in charge of hiring and firing NSC staff. That’s the job of the Executive Secretary and Chief of Staff, which in this case happens to be one General Keith Kellogg. Kellogg held that role when Flynn was NSA, then served as interim NSA himself until McMaster was given the job by Trump.
Anyway you wonder if any of these scribblers who think that firing Higgins et al is itself a firing offense, actually know who is in charge of staffing at the NSC. If they do know then they are lying to their readers. If they don’t know then who are they getting their misinformation from? Someone has a serious interest in spreading this stuff.
Immediately.
If you don’t think McMaster is in charge of this—insomuch as he has been able to clean out Trump loyalists, retain Obama appointments and bring in more Democrats—you are fooling yourself.
To try and tut-tut everyone else here for not subscribing to your misinformation is pathetic.
Well if you’re accusing McMaster of being one you’re either too ignorant to be commenting or you’re engaging in slander.
Oh, and you could hardly be more wrong about Higgins either. Nobody gets fired for using a work email to send out a private message unless the boss is looking to do the firing.
McMaster—and yes, it has been McMaster—has been purging all those he inherited who acknowledge the Islamic threat.
He is very dangerous. Are you a neocon, uniparty swamp creature, here to try to spread disinformation?
Kellogg is in charge of hiring and firing NSC staff. McMaster isn’t.
So explain how McMaster managed to “clear out” all of your new-found heroes.
Try using logic next time, to your great surprise you may find that making sense feels good.
