The White House escorted Lt. Col. Alexandar Vindman from the White House grounds on Friday after testifying in the inquiry that resulted in President Donald Trump being impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

The move was widely seen as retaliation, an analysis that appeared sound on Friday when it was reported that the White House also unceremoniously escorted Vindman’s twin brother from the White House grounds.

“Colonel Vindman’s twin brother, Yevgeny Vindman, also an Army lieutenant colonel who worked at the White House, was fired as well and escorted out at the same time,” The New York Times reported, citing “two people briefed on the developments.”....................

1. So, susan... what lesson do you think little donnie learned?

I think the lesson he learned is that he can do whatever he wants, and the rest of the trump party will meekly go along with it..

[blueseas]

3. Indeed!

What is she thinking now?

[cabot]

10. I'm sure she's concerned n/t

[NCjack]

13. Trump is definitely uncollinized.

[DEbluedude]

2. If I posted what I'm thinking right now,

I’d be banned, barred and removed from this site and probably would be visited by the Secret Service.

[packman]

4. And on the plus side

They didn't put his head on a pike nor have a Rose Garden beheading

[Efilroft Sul]

5. Washington insiders seem as shocked as Captain Renault finding out gambling occurs at Rick's.

Who among them didn't see this coming?

[hay rick]

6. Nobody's shocked.

Nobody's surprised with the possible exception of Susan Collins.

[Calista241]

7. This is kind of to be expected. Nothing really shocking about it.

They'll say the President has to have confidence in the staff advising him, and that Vindeman had lost that confidence. Cutting his 2 year commitment to the NSC a few months short isn't a huge deal. Escorting him out of the White House was a bit much.

It'll be interesting what he gets assigned to next. If he goes to the Pentagon or some legit base, that'll be fine, but if he ends up at Ice Station nowhere, it'll be clear cut case of retribution. I doubt he'd go to a combat command given his rank and recent work history.

8. Nobody's shocked.

The vengeful agent orange is just gettin started, you fkn fools

BUT KEEP QUIET ELSE YOU’RE NEXT, you GOPEE WEENIES

[machoneman]

9. Ambd. Sondland fired just now too! Bet he never sees his $1 million back!

Dark day with late Friday releases to avoid the media! Friday Night Massacre!

[SWBTATTReg]

18. Perhaps Soudland will donate a $1,000,000 bucks to a democratic candidate who'll kick rump...

out onto his rump in Nov. 2020.

[Blue_Tires]

11. Greenwald and Snowden were unavailable for comment

[olddad65]

12. We no longer live in a democracy....

We now live under the rule of a fascist dictator. Get used to it. A sign of things to come.

[PSPS]

14. "This is a violation of 18 USC 1503" LOL. I'm sure coverup barr will get right on this.

[walker59]

15. Widespread shock? Seriously?

Anybody who didn't see this coming is willfully being a moron. The Republicans own this - they knew it was coming and voted for it.

[ffr]

16. Sondland now too. It's a Friday Night Massacre.

When you see a rePutican MAGAt, make sure they know where you place the blame for tRump's irresponsible actions. We told them so in 2016, FFS!

[Skittles]

17. LOL

the very idea of anyone being surprised by ANYTHING that vile piece of shit does - HOW STUPID *ARE* THESE PEOPLE???

[Ahpook]

19. Saw this coming

And it will get worse now that he is above all law. This is going to haunt the whole damn country, even the dumb asses that exonerated him.

Reminds me of a union vote we had at a company I worked for. The vote failed and the owner went nuts firing everyone involved for any reason he could find. If you were wrong on a date on your original application... gone.

I think he was afraid of another vote in a year so cleaned house to a skeleton crew. The remaining employees said the place was hell after. He wouldn't hire new employees and worked all those dumb motherfuckers that voted against a union crazy hours. If you didn't show up on the weekends he docked your pay 10 cents per hour each offense.

Hope it was worth it, idiots!

20. Only an idiot could be shocked by Trump's behavior.

Now he can go shoot someone on 5th avenue and Dershowitz can tell us it's ok if Trump does it.

[onecaliberal]

21. You'd have to be living under a rock to be shocked.

Get that rabid POS out of the White House already.

[WePurrsevere]

22. "Shocked"? That would take some serious kool-aid drinking...

Anyone paying even the slightest attention to Trump should be able to see that he's a petty vindictive POS and spineless Republican enablers in the senate just flushed their oath of office down the crapper and kissed Trump's ass so now he's sure that he can do whatever he wants.

[Lonestarblue]

23. Who could possibly be shocked by this?

Anyone with half a brain could have foreseen what petty, vindictive Trump would do to anyone who testified against him. Remember he claimed that the families of terrorists should be murdered, so Vindeman’s brother had to go, too. The Vindeman brothers leave their posts with their honor intact. Trump never had any honor. I generally avoid cursing, but Trump is an enormous piece of shit disgracing our White House.
