Trump says he fired national security advisor John Bolton

[Syncro]

There are still a few of us plodding around...

[thecodont]

Not really related, or maybe it is...

Yesterday evening, east SF Bay Area 7:17 p.m., I heard a sudden roar, looked up and saw four Air Force jets zoom by (what else can a jet do?) and head east in a “missing man” formation.

Don’t know what that was all about.

[Syncro]

Heading East.

Missing man (people)

9/11

[Syncro]

No he wasn’t, you are correct big time.

[Syncro]

Nope.

Catch up.

[morphing libertarian]

yeah I guess the state department and CIA have run out of translators.

[thecodont]

Thanks. I thought it was a little early for a 9/11 tribute (a day or so early) but maybe that’s what they had in mind?

[Syncro]

Could be they are going to New York for a memorial.

I will say that I was thinking more of the Barry Goldwater method or the mining of the harbors off N Viet Nam.

The method was used last night against ISIS: https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2019/09/11/watch-islamic-state-infested-island-cleared-by-80000-pounds-of-u-s-bombs/

Bolton was probably a bit to hawkish for the President. If a meeting was prepared with those 3rd century rejects, I hope it was because they were on their knees.

[MGunny]

Bingo!

[Valin]

I have...andstandby my statement

[Calif Conservative]

Among conservatives and freepers, Bolton used to be the bee’s knees, better than sliced bread, pick your platitude — now all of a sudden he’s the biggest foreign policy dolt one can imagine after Trump ousted him. Intriguing.

[Syncro]

Duly noted

Thanks for verifying.

Bolton has already calling Trump stated calling a liar and says Trump caves to dictators. Long despised by Democrats for being a warmonger. Now he’ll be called a great foreign policy advisor and become an instant CNN/PMSNBC star.

So get ready for Trump to expose the truth about Neocon warmongering Bolton. Neocons don’t like for one of the own to be exposed for the anti-Americans, so watch for Neocons to saturate the media blasting.

What was wrong with Bolton? I thought he was a good guy.

[MA FLA Deplorable]

The next one that should be fired is Chris Wray. I so often wish we had simple”like” or “👍” buttons here. I’m sure I didn’t catch many discussions on why not😂

[datricker]

Bolten might be a warmongering asshole but his heart is in the right spot most of the people he wants to monger war upon do deserve it - its just that war sucks John and we are tired of it especially maintenance wars that Bushes don't intend to win. The more I think on GWB the worse he gets, I think I'd rather golf pervo Bill Clinton or Obama than him at this point at least I know those guys have erasers on their pencils, but I don't like golf and neither one of those guys returned my call.

And then there was the toe art - wtf jorge.

Its looking like our VSG is pulling a double switch on the Deep State - keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Maybe Wray will be next and the hammer will fall , the president is a master a timing - looks like he is going to cause massive democrat voter suppression by dropping a new scandlet on them weekly while keeping the economy red hot.

Minorities cross over in significant numbers but more will just not vote. Sending in crazed leftist to get out the vote is going to probably turn even more off.

Democrats are going to just need to go with old fashion cash for votes which in the age of big brother big data is probably more traceable then those distributing the walking around money are comfortable with.

Look for more Republicans to retire

Thanks for the rational arguments, you mention time is on our side. I can't know the future but I do try and this sounds a bit in style to the axiomatic free trade good tariffs bad arguments (different context but just the standard conservative response to an issue), we conservatives had slipped into - Using the honoring the sacrifice of the fallen by staying argument I think is not valid. At a certain point if you want to get out of a hole you have to stop digging. In this case graves. Time is not on our side it on the Taliban's side. Wheres the Taliban going to go they are Afghans and a lot of Afghans like the Taliban. They are the Taliban

The people of Afghanistan have had over 20 years of American's offering to help take out the Taliban. Hey we've got the most powerful miltary ever with weapons that will blow your mind - you guys want to put a group together and kill the Taliban.

They say yes take the weapons and then don't kill themselves, weird.

Afghanistan is a shithole country - guess what happens when you jump in a shithole, well now we don't have to guess we know.

I don't see what we gain by remaining in Afghanistan another day but I am fairly ignorant on most things and what I don't know fills libraries

Once again Wuli thank you for a cogent argument in the face of a stiff head wind
