McMasters putting his credibility on the line.

 

[Deuce Deuce]

the amount of tolerance the united States puts up for mediocre white men is astounding.

And yet the black guy had to be practically flawless and still got shit.

 

[Lord Frieza]

Man, guys, McMaster's statement doesn't even really deny the actual story lol.

 

[KernelPanic]

They got McMaster's to put his whole credibility to the line...

Same thing happened to Rosenstein

 

[Lonewulfeus]

Ugh McMaster specifically called out civilian aircraft... Wanna bet trump or his family shorted airline stocks recently?

 

[massoluk]

A reminder that less than half a year in, virtually every controversy and crisis facing this admin is self-inflicted. We have yet to have a Katrina or Ebola outbreak

 

[Plinko]

LOL at McMaster.

 

[brandonh83]

McMasters putting his credibility on the line.

credibility lol

 

[Steejee]

That was a *very* specifically worded statement that danced around the actual report.

Basically denied something happened that WaPo hadn't said had happened, rather than what they did.

 

[johnsmith]

The Trump dignity wraith claims another soul

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

I literally can not take my eyes off the news for TWO HOURS without this dumb motherfucker screwing something up!

 

[Creamium]

Lol the previous poligaf title "maybe McMaster isn't a traitor"

nope lol

 

[Green Ninja]

This doesn't make any sense I thought Trump was America first?

 

[Kusagari]

Man, guys, McMaster's statement doesn't even really deny the actual story lol.

Because it's true and McMaster knows it's a monumental fuck up but he has to put up some kind of front for Trump.

It's why McMaster instantly jetted out of there. He knows he can't answer grilling on this.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Once again Trump said this past week don't trust what his officials say.

 

[Fantastical]

Anybody have the McMaster statement? It's not the same as the WaPo one is it?

 

[sangreal]

The most surprising part of this story is that the President actually knew what he was talking about

 

[Kinyou]

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

 

[Lord Fagan]

Can you explain how this tweet is any less legitimate than the original story and worthy of a lol? I'm serious.

Let me give it a shot.

It's Laura Ingraham. LOL.

But I'm serious, it's Laura Ingraham

 

[hydruxo]

Because it's true and McMaster knows it's a monumental fuck up but he has to put up some kind of front for Trump.

Exactly. Quick statement and he dipped out real quick.

 

[jayu26]

He is putting the lives of all the spies, not just American but every single American alied spy all over the world, in danger. Fuck this thin skinned child and every single person who is still supporting this asshole.

 

[Lord Frieza]

That was a *very* specifically worded statement that danced around the actual report.

Basically denied something happened that WaPo hadn't said had happened, rather than what they did.

Exactly. It's what he's not saying that's important. Read between lines, therein lies what's being really said.

 

[Greigor The Fellhand]

whats worse mcmaster said himself and tillerson were in the room when trump said this. so that puts them at fault also

 

[plagiarize]

I literally can not take my eyes off the news for TWO HOURS without this dumb motherfucker screwing something up!

When I see a WaPo news notification on my phone, my reaction has become 'what the fuck has he done now?'.

That's 100% the reaction I had when I saw the one for this.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

McMaster's legacy will be shit on like Powell's by the end of this.

 

[Ihyll]

Man some guys actually had to bring out a podium and set everything up just so McMaster could read a 10 second statement lol

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

It's an escalation every single day of what he can do and not receive any punishment whatsoever. This sucks.

 

[Tovarisc]

 

[brandonh83]

Anybody have the McMaster statement? It's not the same as the WaPo one is it?

I'd like to read it too but going by posts here it sounds like he just came out and said "it's only Monday, people"

 

[Pillville]

...say increasingly nervous man for hundredth time this year.

Can we seriously cut it out with this?

I will stop saying this joke when Trump actually stops getting away with everything. It's the perfect response, and I'm gonna use it as often as I can.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Any knowledge of the President leaking classified information to the Russians in the Oval Office is classified.

Don't worry. ivanka and kushner will cure Ebola. If they can't, no one will.

 

[E-Cat]

Strawman denial.

 

[Culex]

I hate what this admin has done to McMaster. He was one great soldier and officer/general. shame to see it happen to his career.

 

[Boke1879]

This is how you ensure leaks keep coming lol.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

I'm so fucking tired everyone in this administration. I can't even force myself to ignore this shit.

 

[Wallach]

The most surprising part of this story is that the President actually knew what he was talking about

he knows to pay attention to the intel reports that his boss wants

 

[KHarvey16]

They have seriously learned nothing if they believe word games and disingenuous denials will do anything but intensify this.

 

[UberTag]

Mother Nature's too busy laughing her ass off at America to conjure up something truly nasty like a Fort McMurray fire.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

I hate what this admin has done to McMaster. He was one great soldier and officer/general. shame to see it happen to his career.

At this point, he's complicit. He brought this on himself.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

Republicans who voted this orange pile of trash, you are a fucking disgrace of this democracy and enemies to this country because you voted this fucker in.

 

[smokeymicpot]

I hate what this admin has done to McMaster. He was one great soldier and officer/general. shame to see it happen to his career.

Pretty sure he had to do the job as well. Don't think he can get out of it unless he quits the military.

 

[Owzers]

They have seriously learned nothing if they believe word games and disingenuous denials will do anything but intensify this.

The president has been clear on this.

 

[jelly]

Interesting. I know Rex is nothing but a Russian stooge out for profit but McMaster must feel like a complete idiot.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

It does all they wanted to do, Fox News now has a soundbite of a government official saying it's false news, and their base is already parroting it and circlejerking about how they saw through the fake news once again.. There's no way to spin something that's so blatantly corrupt, that's why he gave such a half ass answer and ran immediately before any questions were asked.

 

[Tovarisc]

credibility lol

Well like Rosenstein he is very respected person by both parties. He has a lot status and credibility in WH.

Making statement like he did puts it all on the line and if goes sideways can destroy his image.

 

[Dryk]

 

[PandaPandaPanda]

I hate what this admin has done to McMaster. He was one great soldier and officer/general. shame to see it happen to his career.

don't forget all of the other career government officials (eg at the state department and other agencies)

all gone

 

[NullPointer]

The Washington Post stands by their story.

 

[War Peaceman]

McMaster's legacy will be shit on like Powell's by the end of this.

Which is unfortunate, because he has no choice in the matter, unlike all the other pond life who are complicit.
