Thanks for the ping.

I’m posting the link to the participant list again for any who may have missed it. Very interesting.

Tom Cotton’s name jumped out at me. Isn’t he supposed to be a good conservative? That surprised me, along with a few others. Lindsay Graham strikes me as such a lightweight in training to be a heavyweight successor to McTraitor...seeing his name there also surprised me.

Thanks again for the link.

As McM fires loyalists, they may be shuttled straight over to KT McFarland’s private think tank... who may have much more of CINC’s ear than NSC does.

Sources I read suggest it was a kabuki theatre gambit—but Breitbart hates him. Maybe this was to draw out some leakers. The fact that McCain wanted him in the job keeps me suspicious.

Interview this AM with Hewitt and McMaster. Quite wide ranging topics were discussed:

Yeah I can tell you’re a real expert.

Trump repeated his support of McMaster yesterday

Before this is finished the kooks drumming up this controversy will be denouncing Trump as part of the Deep State.

Not impressed by guilt by association.

Absolutely correct. These Council on Foreign Relations generals will be instrumental in taking out Pres. Trump. And sundance is out of the closet now as a CFR fanboy. They can afford to pay well.

I really am not ready to hear that Tom Cotton may be in this group. I thought he was a "good conservative" as well.

Good to hear your report.

I do hope they keep an eye on the general.

Do you also remember back during the campaign that he was one of the attendees at some secret getaway (was it in Georgia, can’t remember) where the discussion topic was developing Take Down Trump strategies? I vaguely recall hearing about this “retreat”.

Yep. Sundance is just too quick with her multiple, very in depth analysis articles she authors. At first I was so impressed, but lately, not so much.

Obama’s NSC director was always in the media defending her boss and his policies. McMaster pretty much only pops his head out to defend himself, apparently.

David Brock is another looser tooting McMaster’s horn.
“guilt by association”
You remind me of the guy who, after smelling, seeing, scooping and tasting dog poo said, “Yeah, that’s poo. I’m sure glad I didn’t step in it.”
I voted for candidate Trump because he said these neo-cons would be in his tail-lights, not driving the bus.

That’s called a vote of confidence.

McMaster could be public in support of POTUS. He’s chosen not to after the fire he got for defending Trump’s meeting with “The Russians”. Buy a clue, FRiend. McMaster is just another self interested political general. He’s certainly not fighting for MAGA.

And the fact that McMaster is being vigorously defended by Never Trumpers across the political and media spectrum. Why are Trump haters so anxious to keep McMaster in the White House? Important question that needs an answer, IMO.

Something is grossly out of whack here and Trump better get off the “I like the guy” train, and see just who is and is not really on HIS train. There is danger that as smart as Trump is about some things, he knows not just how deep the treasonous deep state is and accepts too much at face value just because he “likes the guy”. Bill Clinton I am told is also a very likeable guy.

>> This entire McMaster episode is very, very bizarre <<

Any operation run by Mike Cernovich, Alex Jones and the Russian FSB is bound to be a little bizarre.

There is no way that POTUS can’t be stunned at the lack of public support he gets. Even from some of his own appointees. When was the last time Rosenstooge defended POTUS in public? Weeks ago. Sessions is little better, IMO.

No matter how big the America hating lie Democrats always go to the mat for scum like Hillary Criminal and the kenyan. But apparently it’s too much to ask the beltway GOP and many of Trump’s own staff to publicly defend a President elected by their own party.

>> McMaster is a John McLame suggestion <,

Let’s get our facts straight. McMaster’s main advocate was not McCain. No, it was Sen. Tom Cotton.

And remember this:

Cotton has been extremely outspoken against the Russians. So maybe that’s why the FSB is running such a big anti-McMaster operation.

>> He was actually recommended to Trump by McCain <<

He was recommended mainly by Sen. Tom Cotton. So you need to be bashing him instead of McCain for McMaster’s appointment.

(But OK to keep bashing McCain for many other things.)
