adviser. it is almost torgen now because there s been so many of these guys that admiral harward actually turned down trump s request to serve in that capacity, which was very embarrassing for the trump administration. after that embarrassment with admiral harward, president trump turned to his third choice, general h.r. mcmaster, who did take the job. he lasted in that job for about a year despite the fact that for a significant amount of the time that he was serving as national security adviser, the president was happy to openly complain about mcmaster and let it be known that he hated being in his company to the point where he would no longer allow h.r. mcmaster to give him national security briefings even though technically mcmaster was the president s national security adviser. that history between trump and mcmaster is what made this potentially the weirdest headline of them all today. nbc news reporting that despite the fact that trump fired mcmaster, despite the fact that he we
what s happening in that courtroom lines up as much as possible with what happens on the fox news channel because it seems clear that what they re going for is not lenience from the judge but a pardon from the president. right? this deep state conspiracy theory, lock up all the fbi, lock up the prosecutor stuff, is probably not going to move a normal judge, but it will definitely move fox news s evening and early morning programming, which presumably is designed to move the one person who can give mike flynn a get out of jail free card no matter what he did, no matter what he already admitted doing. so that was the day that trump s first national security adviser had today. and you might remember after mike flynn had to leave the white house, had to resign or be fired as trump s first national security adviser, ahead of his soon to be forthcoming felony charges, the president picked a new guy to be his national security adviser following up flynn. he picked a navy admiral named robert
robert harwart as his next choice as national security adviser. it s almost forgot. enen now. he turned down trump s request to serve in that capacity which was very embarrassing for the trump administration. after that embarrassment with admiral harward, president trump turned to his third choice, general h.r. mcmaster who did take the job. he lasted in that job for about a year despite the fact that far significant amount of the time that he was serving as national security adviser, the president was happy to openly complain about mcmaster and let it be known that he hated being in his company to the point where he would to longer allow h.r. mcmaster to give him national security briefings even though technically mcmaster was the president s national security adviser. that history between trump and mcmaster is what made this potentially the weirdest headline of them all today. nbc news reporting that despite the fact that trump fired mcmaster, despite the fact that he went out of his

say it, so did admiral harward. but then today, the president finally did talk somebody into taking the job. while we stick a pin in that for a moment, take a look at what else is not happening or is falling apart in terms of staffing up the new administration. on the verge of withdrawing his name, according to two sources close to the situation, the white house is denying those reports but if those reports prove true, that would mean that trump is losing his nominee to run the army and navy in the space of a week. it s not like the place is filling up around them. according to the washington post this morning, out of the 549, 515 of them are still awaiting a nomination. it s not that senate democrats are holding things up in these
