On his show last night, Lawrence O’Donnell opined that it was Kelly, saying it’s pretty common in DC for the guy who howls the loudest about the leak to be the leaker.
$9000 a linear foot. Not bad.
It’s a billion dollars for “border security”, some small portion of which involves fencing, none of which can be constituted a “wall.”
On Twitter just now:
It was nice knowing you all.
And you know Trump is going to believe it. It’s our evil intelligence agencies trying to frame Putin and Russia. I bet he tweets about it over the weekend
And McMaster is OUT…no details yet, it just came through on MSNBC. I’d think the events were connected but I think Trump was going to do it a few weeks ago but didn’t because someone leaked it to the press. And he didn’t want to prove them right.
Edit: ninjaed!!
Did thump tell McMaster he was out before he tweeted the news?
I’d say the over/under on that is close to probably not, if you follow odds, that is.
One less grownup in the room.
Replaced by John Bolton. A FOX news analyst.
Bolton is a dangerous whack job. Wasn’t he the one who wanted to nuke North Korea?
I think you might need to check your tense.
Since he was a boy, yes.
Bolton! I hate that guy!
I live for the day that Kurt Vonnegut rises from the grave and bodily reclaims his mustache from John Bolton without first aid or anesthesia. The man does not deserve that facial hair.
Would that be the Romper Room?
Among other places, like Iran.

I agree. My belief is that Kelly is cementing his regency powers. He’s gotten rid of Jared, or at least Jared’s ability to participate in most meetings, and therefore lessened the influence of Ivanka. He’s gotten rid of Bannon. With McMaster’s ouster, Kelly has gotten rid of pretty much anyone who could interfere with his own plans for the exercise of the Presidency (through the easily-manipulated Trump).
Time will tell, I guess.
If anyone reading is cannon-fodder age, prepare to be cannon-fodder. If anyone reading has a loved one of cannon-fodder age: say goodbye.
Bolton is a genuine nut-job. He WILL get us into a hot war.—which was why Trump was willing to overlook the mustache, no matter how un-Central Casting it is. Trump knows that a hot war is his best chance of escaping accountability for his crimes.
If you have a special bottle of wine you’ve been saving: drink it.
Shadow President Kelly worries much less than Trump or Pence. I, for one, welcome my new Kelly overlord.

You may be able to enjoy him for much longer than you think; he doesn’t strike me as being likely to be willing to give up power just because of a silly little thing like an ‘election.’
Many commentators have noted Kelly’s disdain for governments run by civilians, instead of by the military. One widely-read piece ends:
An Old Colonel Looks at General Kelly – Foreign Policy
I’m not one of those who see Kelly’s presence in the Oval Office as a good thing; I don’t think he cares two cents about the Constitution.
