Heads up. Was the Esper firing just in time for the “Million MAGA” march in D.C. on Saturday, which I now am thinking is a planned provocation to draw out opposing marchers, with the hope for violent clashes that can become Trump’s basis for calling in the military.

We won. Period. Nothing that happens at this event can change that.
The Trumpers will be looking for trouble. Don't let them have it.

Let's just laugh and laugh and laugh.

Esper sent him a memo saying that if he pulled out that quickly, it would put our soldiers that are still there in harms way, and that we needed to do more negotiations and planning to get our guys/gals out safely. Trump was pissed that Esper told him the truth about our troops being in danger, and of course, trump cares NOTHING about those "losers and suckers" in the military.
