[catnipman]

The Army general who heads the D.C. National Guard and has an integral part in overseeing the inauguration said Friday that he will be removed from command effective at 12:01 p.m. Jan. 20, just as Donald Trump is sworn in as president.

We’re already at the point where even if there was some genuine Trump scandal reported by these cretins, no one would believe it.

Hmmmm who else has been there since 2008 ..... draining the swamp has begun ?

[DoughtyOne]

We should know starting around a week from now.

“:^)

Since around June 13th, of 2015, these have been some of the most interesting political times I’ve witnessed.

IMO < we only just getting started too.

What a great time to be able to live though.

[Major Matt Mason]

Seems like a random statement. Is he planning on someone dying?

[Clutch Martin]

Mandatory retirement for military is age 62. General officers might be a bit more but I’m not sure.

I read that earlier on Twitter and thought, someone has threatened someone in WikiLeaks.

Here’s O’Keefe’s latest too:

“What @Project_Veritas found was so egregious, we notified counter terrorism LEOs. Release planned for MONDAY! #tcot” and it has a video of his atty speaking.

One hint I’ve learned from reddit is to use archive.is when you want to highlight some article online for commenting. It’s a webpage capture system, free, and easy to use. It does 2 things:
1. Archives how the article existed at that specific date/time, and
2. Deny’s the website the ‘clicks’.

I just have a separate window open to archive.is, copy/paste the media’s webpage URL that I want to capture, let it do it’s thing, and it will return a new URL to the captured webpage to post on facebook, reddit, FR, etc.

From their website:
Archive.is is a time capsule for web pages!
It takes a ‘snapshot’ of a webpage that will always be online even if the original page disappears.
It saves a text and a graphical copy of the page for better accuracy
and provides a short and reliable link to an unalterable record of any web page
including those from Web 2.0 sites:
http://archive.is/2013.05.01/http://nickqizhu.github.io/dc.js/
http://archive.is/2014.06.26/https://www.google.com/maps/…;
This can be useful if you want to take a ‘snapshot’ a page which could change soon: price list, job offer, real estate listing, drunk blog post, ...
Saved pages will have no active elements and no scripts, so they keep you safe as they cannot have any popups or malware!

Is Ray Mabus Sec of Navy next in line, 0’s twin.

[DoughtyOne]

LOL... we’ll soon know.

I read some things about him the other day, and don’t remember it now.

I seem to recall the remarks weren’t too favorable, but don’t take that to the bank. “:^)

The real scandal is 5,000 UNARMED national guard to be targets in a large gun free zone.

[bboop]

I appreciate this discussion and the input from those of you in the know. I read the original article and then wondered many things, too. I couldn’t find the stink - yet.

[Squantos]

YES ....AGREE 100% D1 !

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks Squantos. Hope things are good for you these days.

[Whenifhow]

Thanks for the info about archive of web pages.

Is this similar to Mozilla’s pocket list?

[Rockitz]

This would fall under the category of “FLUID” news - always changing to deflect critique and spin the story at the whim of the editors.

[houeto]

That’s an interesting bit of information to me.

Was to me too D1.

Just checking, but in his entire career from 2LT to Maj General, Schwartz has never had an assignment outside of the District of Columbia. Ever.

During that time the nation has gone through Grenada, Panama, Desert Storm, Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

And he made it to Major General. And he stayed in that position as CG of the DC National Guard for 8 years.

Anyone with any experience in the military at all will tell you that this is a bit unusual.

[Rik0Shay]

Being experienced in military I read it this way. This guy played one up man ship with the Pentagon. He is no longer protected by obama, they wanted him out.

Looks like the current version is mostly a rearrangement of the version you linked from the wayback machine. I think most of the new material is in the old version but in a different order.
