McMasters, for all his military service

[edhopper]

is showing himself to be more a partisan than a patriot.

Covering for treasonous acts and carrying water for people putting a foreign power over their country
is not how a man who swore to serve his country should act.

1. I'm coming to the same conclusion. I don't understand this. eom

[world wide wally]

2. Which country did he swear his allegiance to?

[edhopper]

3. This is one of the reasons active military personel

are not appointed to the cabinet.

We don't know his politics or his outlook.

4. It boggles the mind why he wants to stay when they want to dump him:

Donald Trump and the Agony of H.R. McMaster: Will the President Dump His Second National Security Adviser?
By Jeff Stein On 5/27/17 at 9:00 AM

Is H.R. McMaster, the White House national security adviser, on the way out? By some signs, he is: President Donald Trump not only excluded him from a key meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his national security adviser Monday night in Jerusalem, he was kept “outside the King David [Hotel] room during the course of the entire meeting,” according to an eye-catching Israeli account.

Taken alone, the perceived shaming wouldn’t amount to much: Trump has a habit of slighting his aides in public. But the incident came only days after a report in The New York Times that McMaster had fallen out of favor with the president. Trump had “complained that General McMaster talks too much in meetings,” and “the president has referred to him as ‘a pain,’” The Times said in a report that was not challenged by the White House. By the time Trump left Israel for his meeting in Rome with the Pope, right-wing news sites closely allied with the so-called “nationalist” wing of the White House were serving up full throated criticism of McMaster, a distinguished Army general.

“Gen. McMaster Squanders Tremendous Capital Trump Earns in Saudi Arabia,” screamed a headline at Frontpage, a web site that has championed the president’s travel ban and other anti-Muslim themes. McMaster “acknowledged that the President had used the term ‘Islamic terrorism’ in his speech” in Riyadh,” the news site complained, “then immediately tried to back away from it.” The general had “returned to the Obama-era white-washing of Islam [and] bending over backwards out of fear of offending Muslim leaders whose support we need to fight ISIS,” it claimed.

Breitbart News Network, formerly edited by Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon, went further, inviting “anti-Muslim gadfly” Frank Gaffney onto its Sirius XM radio show to blast McMaster as “one of the leading voices in the Trump administration seeking to divorce Islam from terrorism.”

5. I was thinking the exact same thing.

What is it about these tools who keep picking party over country.

I don't get it. What is it gonna take???

Should the dam break I hope the dems are smart and clever and brave enough to try their hardest to bury the rep 'brand' for decades - because if the shoe were on the other foot the reps would not hesitate one nanosecond to bury their political rivals.

6. They don't even need real scandals

they create fake ones and then blast the Dems over it.

8. The republicans have hijacked what it means to be a patriot.

Now they're hijacking what it means to tell the truth. We are in for dark times.

9. i don't trust him for one second.

10. I had hoped he would be different.....

Does anyone know if it is true that being active duty meant he had to take that job? I have read that numerous times but have never really thought it was verified.

If it is true, could it be he is the main leak in the administration? Could he be a double agent, of sorts?

That's the best I can hope for with him now.
