Cernovich was earlier.

I have perceived something disturbing in his constant indulgence of the Kushners. I don’t like it at all. It’s like they’ve moved in and are taking over—and neither Ivanka nor Jared seem to be either intelligent or accomplished. They do appear to be infatuated with this sudden rise to great power.

He also said that "Two sources within the White House tell me that last week McMaster had interviewed a potential replacement for Cohen-Watnick: longtime CIA official Linda Weissgold." She was an Obama terrorism analyst who was involved in drafting the Benghazi talking points.

McMaster Interviewed CIA Operative to Replace Trump NSC Official

For a well-qualified American experienced in service to government, being named ambassador to Singapore is like being named ambassador to the Gobi Desert.

It was probably that job or nothing....so it looks like she chose the nothing-job.

Strange things going on....

“It’s like they’ve moved in and are taking over—and neither Ivanka nor Jared seem to be either intelligent or accomplished.”

Are you aware that both Jared & Ivanka advised Mr Trump during the primaries & the general election? Advising him to victory seems like quite an accomplishment, right? Then there is the issue of Ivanka’s very successful clothing line she had built into an enormous success + her successful modeling career. Of course you have to also ignore Jared multimillion dollar real estate business he was running before he married Ivanka. Accomplished? Yes, they are very accomplished.

I’d ask for evidence these 2 have taken over the White House except there isn’t any. Sorry, not buying what you are selling.

Did Rice find photos of dead prostitutes? I mean, seriously? WTF?

[MayflowerMadam]

Yes; he is that gullible when it,comes to Ivanka.

[RummyChick]

Cohen found info that was given to nunes

[Mamzelle]

Jared’s business was financed by Soros. Kelly Ann Conway is not running foreign policy, and she’s dynamite at campaigning.

[Mamzelle]

I think so, too. All this power tastes very good to the Princess. But I don’t think she can handle the heat that will come.

Nice reading into somethng that is not there.

KT MacFarland is not a Trump nationalist. She is straight out of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Well, you're dead wrong about that...for starters the dopes at CFR were all Clinton supporters, and now they're cheering for McMasters.

McFarland was also a fierce opponent of Hillary Clinton (ran against her for US Senate) and in 2013 famously suggested that Vladimir Putin be given the Nobel Peace prize for his handling of the Syrian chem weapons removal.

Her roots are with the Reagan administration...not CFR material at all.

Singapore is far away, surrounded by Islam (Malaysia and Indonesia). That is the perfect place for this guy.

[Chgogal]

Ignore my post. KT is going to Singapore. That is a shame. My guess, Trump is realizing that Islam is 1.6 billion potential babies/children/women etc. Now what does he do?

[AndyJackson]

Why the attack on McMaster? I think what we are seeing is the battle between ideological purity and politics [driven by inside the beltway thinktankery and defense contracting] on the one hand and competence at getting stuff done on the other.

I can imagine a lot of folks in defense procurement not being happy with Mattis or McMaster running things. They spent two much time in the "intimate killing" business to be too impressed by spending gazillions on the latest gee whiz toys promoted by the inside-the-beltway slicksters. Just a guess.

Trump did not come in with an ideology. He came in promising to make things work. Argue ideology, you are in of and from the swamp. Argue getting stuff done, knowing what you are talking about, and you are the swamp's mortal enemy.

And McMaster is not of the swamp. The swamp tried not to promote him to flag.

As I recall, Kellyanne is still one of President Trump’s advisors & was never going to run foreign policy. That job belongs to President Trump & his State Department. I believe Kushner had to pay back the $$$ Soros loaned him. 250 million or so credit line as I recall. Sheesh, seems to me one would have to be a success in order to pay off $250 million in debt.

Have a nice day :)

Nice fantasy. Thanks for sharing lol!!!

“I don’t think Russia will evacuate”

Does this mean we have to start cheering for the Russians again?

[Grampa Dave]

Bannon is still attending, so this is more fake news!

[PghBaldy]

“chance of this not being Armageddon is reduced significantly” - sort of a double negative!
