Wait, WHAT? Flynn is an Erdogan guy? Whoa...if true, that’s a big red flag to me.

I predict a lot of battles when confirmation hearings begin on trump’s cabinet.


National Security Adviser does not get Senate confirmation making it a good spot for Flynn.

Yeah, there is no way Flynn could get through an embarrassing Senate confirmation hearing. If Trump needs to reward his loyalty it will be in a position that doesn’t require that.

Mattis retired on May 22, 2013, after 44 years of service.

Yeah, Politico says it, so it must be true.

Trump adviser linked to Turkish lobbying

Not so fast, says this guy.

Like him or not, General Flynn is not Turkey's lobbyist

Like it or not Flynn just penned an Erdogan boot licking op-ed. With friends like that...

Until appointments are announced by PE Trump or Pence, I’m not putting any credit in them. If these unnamed sources aren’t careful, they won’t be a source of anything. Like the saying, those that know aren’t talking and those that are talking don’t know.

Here's a link to Flynn's Op-ed. Read and form your own opinion.

Our ally Turkey is in crisis and needs our support

The gist of the article talks about Fethullah Gülen, a former imam with ties to the Clinton Foundation, who is currently residing in the USA.

Turkey is full of scumbags, Erdoğan being the top one. Giving refuge to a scumbag like Gulen isn't a good move either.

Interesting...I didn’t know anything about that, so I looked it up. It looks like his son-in-law’s father was prosecuted and convicted of various things, but that business about him setting up his brother-in-law with a prostitute. secretly taping it, and sending the tape to the man’s wife (his sister) is (if true) pretty heinous and damning.

In reading a few accounts of it, it sounds like that libturd SOB should have been in jail for what he was doing even apart from setting up his brother-in-law with a hooker. He sounds like a piece of work. I dislike Christie intensely, but it sounded like good work on his part, to me.
