Trump should have listened to Bannon more from the beggining. I hope he listens more in the future.

If recent stories about McMaster are true, I’d bust his ass down to Private and put him in charge of the “honey pot” detail............a little VietNam lingo.

Sorry but this is war. Mueller, the inside the administration resistance will take him down if he and whoever supports him in the congress doesn’t act now. He needs to say on the road doing rallies and start firing the Obama holdovers.

Needs a second special prosecutor pronto or he’s going to start taking heavy fire. Still, 2018 will be a disaster for the Democrats.

Good idea. Get McMaster the hell out of here. The man is proving to be nothing but a deep state apparatchik, working against the President’s MAGA agenda.

Send him to the Taliban and tell him he’ll be working undercover.
