So Trump puts out the cleanest, straightest guy he has (McMaster) to stake his reputation on a cover-up, then throws him under the bus in the morning by admitting it was all a lie? How much can these "loyalists" take??

You'd really think McMaster might've seen this coming after the exact same thing happened to Rosenstein.

It's likely that she has very few moral scruples when it comes to making money, and can brush off her reservations about being Trumps's Liar-In-Chief if the salary's big enough.

This is the unfortunate effect of paranoid schizophrenia. Trump won't quit until he counterpunches every one of his past tweets 2-10x as hard. Only problem is he keeps making new tweets to do it.

It goes back to the Republican/extreme capitalist mindset. The idea is that making lots of money is the ultimate virtue, so sacrificing say your integrity to do that is pretty much a no-brainer. After all, integrity can't buy that big house in Beverly Hills or pay your kids' way through Harvard Law. So she may feel icky after a long session defending Trump to morning Jo, but she knows that's it's just the feeling you get after a long hard day at work. And she gets paid very well for what she does, so she is constantly reminded that she's "winning" over all the stupid chumps that believe her claptrap.

Final tweet will obviously be asking if anyone is left to read it.

Meanwhile Fox News is running Hillary-is-a-Murderer conspiracy theories.

And by the way, normally I don't harp on hypocrisy. I think it's better to judge each action on its individual merits. But in this case, I can't look the other way. The hypocrisy is stunning because it shows that Republicans literally believe in nothing.

A preview of tonight's interview. Nothing earth shattering (Sally Yates is so 8 days ago when it comes to shock value) there, but she does expand a bit on what she said before.

Sally Yates: Russians had 'real leverage' over Michael Flynn

Guys quit posting crap about Fox News. Who cares? It isn't a revelation that fox is awful or propaganda. Why the need to post every moronic thing they do?

Posting Fox News lies, hypocrisy, and propaganda is valuable, please keep it up. Not all of us can stomach watching Fox. But almost half the country thinks it is the only true source of news, and it is helpful to have concrete examples of Fox News wrongdoing when talking to them.

The best is when even Fox is critical of Trump, like Wallace and Smith a few days ago, or when they are provably shown lying, like running a banner of "James Comey Resigns."

Please keep it coming.

It's not that hard of a concept to understand. Shut up while they explain their dumbass theories about the world that justify their hateful idiocy, don't harsh their buzz, the end.

Got a problem with the expression and manifestation of conservative ideals? Don't yell about it at Berkeley, that's just rude. Don't turn your back to Betsy Devos you ungrateful thugs! And sportsball man taking a knee during our favorite song?! That's basically blasphemy.

Also, please enjoy as I give precisely 0 ****s as my conservative white supremacist bretheten protest progressive causes in Charlottesville by literally taking torches & pitchforks and marching around a statue of Robert E. Lee.

Now we have to worry about what might be revealed in today's WH meeting with President Erdogan from Turkey. God I hope every word out of Trump's mouth is being (1-party-legal-DC) recorded from now on. Legit scared.

Fox News is fundamental to the political problems in this country.
