H.R. McMaster is next to leave
President Donald Trump’s national security adviser H.R. McMaster is leaving the White House as early as next month, NBC News reports.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: H.R. McMaster is next to leave
"Next month" means 31-61 days from now. "As early as next month" can be even later. So it's very unlikely that General McMaster will be the next to leave.

Re: H.R. McMaster is next to leave
Add one more, quite abruptly.
Trump's personal assistant, John McEntee, was fired and escorted out of the White House Monday by security after issues with his security clearance. I would add that for some of the people with clearance issues like Jared Kushner, this may soon be a moot point, because he won't have access to much of anything in a federal prison other than a bar of soap.

But according to Flock, Donny's still a better President than Secretary Clinton would have been because Secretary Clinton hurt his feelings.

Re: H.R. McMaster is next to leave
And yet another update.... the dominos are falling fast and furious at the Trump White House.
Steve Goldstein, Undersecretary of Public Affairs for the State Department (the #4 official at the State Department), was fired today as well. His offense: contradicting the Trump account of how and why Tillerson was fired.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/13/politics ... index.html
At this point, the rats need scuba gear to get away from the Trump ship of state.

bob has a much more effective strategy in mind. If they don't vote for the democrat, he will sue them. After all, ethical lawyers threaten lawsuits all the time.

Re: H.R. McMaster is next to leave
Just one little observation, bob. If trump, or anyone else running for, or in office, in a televised speech used the N-Word to describe anyone or any group, they would be toast. I would be sickened by their bigotry. Hill-babe did exactly the same thing to people who decided not to vote for her. My feelings are not hurt by her. I am sickened by her bigotry. I am even more sickened that she feels free to express such hate on an international stage, and that it is accepted by people like you. That's my opinion, bob. No links to biased websites or cherry-picked "studies" to back it up. Deal with it.Bob78164 wrote:And of course, it's only a coincidence that Donny fired Tillerson only hours after Tillerson criticized Russia:jarnon wrote:The exodus continues.
