(26,060 posts)where absolutely nothing surprises me about this administration anymore. I would believe anything and demand proof it WASN'T true before I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. Where did you see that cartoon?

(26,060 posts)so I started clicking on links and found this at the Weekly Standard
http://www.weeklystandard.com/whos-winning-the-white-house-wars/article/2009114
I really had no idea that McMaster was slowing getting rid of all of bannon's pals (who were also aligned with Flynn). Intriguing.
That the anti semites are coming out to play isn't a surprise at all. breitbart comment section is a sewer of it.

(26,060 posts)The trumpsters are lunatics. And again today he takes putin's side over that of a congress run by his own party. I've never seen anything like this before.

(26,060 posts)While it's gratifying to see his approval ratings (even in right wing rassmussen) take a dive, I will NEVER get over that degenerate getting to fill a stolen supreme court seat.

(58,724 posts)WHY IS THE ALT-RIGHT ATTACKING H.R. MCMASTER?
http://www.newsweek.com/why-alt-right-attacking-hr-mcmaster-645908
How long do you think Bannon has got before he's shown the door? Or quits? I think I'm going to toddle over to breitbart and see if the slugs there are discussing this.

(26,060 posts)I'm reading this article at breitbart:
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/08/03/national-security-council-mcmaster-purging-pro-israel-staff-undermines-trumps-agenda/
And it's complaining that all the pro-Israel people are being fired by McMaster. So we have the alt-right spreading cartoons that are clearly anti-Jewish and saying Jews are controlling McMaster while they're also complaining that the pro-Israel people are being pushed out BY MCMASTER. My head hurts.

This was pinned to the top of the twitter page of Mike Cernovich for a bit. He is a rabid pro-Trump guy with a pretty big following online.

(32,100 posts)There's also a dot in the top corner, which I suspect may be some attempt at also making it the Eye of Providence that one sees on U.S. paper money.
I agree. It's all vile.

(52,456 posts)mention of soros is antisemitic merely most of the time.

(16,423 posts)In the 1920s, there was the anti-semitic meme how the Jews are secretly controlling all the banks and are causing financial crises (1923 and 1929) in order to destroy Germany.
Today, there is the anti-semitic meme how the Jews are secretly controlling all the banks and are using capitalism to crush governments and install themselves as heads of a globalist dictatorial regime ruling from behind the curtain.
The answer is Yes. This is abso-fucking-lutely anti-semitic.

(101,405 posts)Someone who's been out of influence, and in the shit, for years now. And the idiot can't even spell 'McMaster'.
The 'Rothschilds' hand even looks vaguely green - a reference to David-Icke-style "they're secret reptiles" lunacy?

(58,724 posts)What do you think that is all about?
haele
(12,689 posts)And Petraeus' name has recently been casually bandied about for potential managerial positions within the administration - so long as he would not be involved in the intelligence field or directly with the DoD.
I'm thinking that Kelly wouldn't mind Petraeus - a fellow general used to successfully managing under crisis - taking a position in the White House staff if McMasters would ensure there would be no way Petraeus would be given access to any information that can damage the administration.
This might be a CT (the Icke reference is spot on) response on an actual possibility of increased military influence on the White House.
As a side - once those 3- and 4- star types retire, the chances of them forgetting that they are no longer in the military when acting in the civilian world is a serious issue. Heck, that's a problem for some even if they just got as far as their silver oakleaf or bird.
These officers are no longer under the privilege of the UCMJ once they give up their commands and take off their uniform for good, and that's a hard thing for many of them to understand.
