McMaster was supposed to get a soft landing and a fourth star, but now . . . . .

[Stinky The Clown]

. . . . . he's just retiring.

Not my favorite guy, but just another pawn unceremoniously kicked to the curb.

1. McMaster forgot to say.

General McMaster forgot to say that the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the Russians and that the only Collusion was between Russia and Crooked H, the DNC and the Dems. Remember the Dirty Dossier, Uranium, Speeches, Emails and the Podesta Company!

8. Apparently, he had enough honor not to pay the vig...

of saying the required mantra. The star wasn't worth the price. I admire that.

[poboy2]

13. Yes. This must be noted. He refused to lie, so he's out-nt

[Skittles]

2. WHY are so many people willing to trash their reputations over that fucked-up buffoon?

WHY

[sheshe2]

6. They knew exactly the man he is.

They knew and did it anyway. They get their just desserts. I do not feel sorry for anyone that chose to serve under this maniac.

One way or another they enabled him and that makes them complicit.

11. +1

12. i don't think mcmaster had much of a choice since he was active duty when picked

[eleny]

3. Tossed out and chin crushed into the dirt

Trump's "mo" - destroy.

[oasis]

4. Such a big deal was made on how magnanimous Trump was going

to be with the General by letting him retire w/ a forth star. Not going to happen because, in reality, Trump is just the most vindictive, petty asshole in existence.

[Leghorn21]

5. Well, he was shit canned via a phone call instead of a tweet, so some might think of that as a

“soft landing” - ? it’s all relative, ya see?!?

[sheshe2]

7. What a clusterfuck this admin is.

The rest of the GOP enablers and traitors are guilty as well.

All Treasonous Bastards.

[mountain grammy]

9. Somehow I think Bolton is crazy enough for donnie

We are really screwed, as is the world.

[Generic Brad]

10. Two pensions screwed with in a week

He is so cavalier about it that I worry more for our Social Security.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

14. FWIW, he was probably one of the more saner members of the administration....

....He pretty much had no choice but to take the job (as an active officer) and probably subscribed to the theory of trying to keep Trump in check as much as possible.

I highly suspect he was behind the leak regarding "DO NOT CONGRATULATE"

That doesn't mean he didn't help propagate some of the bullshit, like his see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil take on Trump's meeting the Russian officials right after Comey was fired.

But we're in a much, much, much worse spot with Bolton in and him out.

[Stinky The Clown]

15. All true, and I agree

I was just commenting on how Trump HURTS everything that comes close to him.
