Pompeo is my pick for best 2024.
You have ZERO clue what you are talking about.
And, I'll bet he was the one the pushed Trump into inviting the Taliban to Camp David.
Wrong. He campaigned on peace through strength, ending the Iran deal and destroying ISIS.
You can't grasp that there is a position somewhere better Paul's and George W. Bush's and that position was Reagan's position.
Reagan’s biggest blunder was the Beirut debacle. John Bolton apparently never learned that lesson.
Why the f*** are we still in Afghanistan? Obama had eight years to get us out of that mire and he did nothing.
Negotiate with Iran? Trump is a businessman. He'll negotiate with anyone, the key word being NEGOTIATE. Obama didn't negotiate with Iran. He gave them everything they asked for on top of pallets of billions dollars.
I understand you're heartbroken that the McCain/Hillary/Obama neocon club isn't running the show these days but I say good riddance.
xscuse me while I gloat over the neocon “WAR WAR WAR” contingent writhing and biting themselves in frustration as they see their fake conservatism losing out, and the Republican party becoming less and less agreeable to the idea that the US military abroad is the first solution to any problem.
After seeing the purges here in the last decade, this is particularly sweet.
I love Donald Trump. He is a true conservative.
I believe it was Bolton who pushed to withdraw from the loony toon Iran agreement.

And there you go, the crisis at the time required a hawk.
Same goes for T-Rex who was a known name in Middle East circles and Trump leveraged him to drive a breakthrough agreement with Saudi Arabia and other nation states there.
But when his usefulness declined, Trump brought in Pompeo.
Scara-moochi lasted all of 10-days, but in those 10 days, the White House staff was shaken up to Trump’s liking.
Trump is a pragmatic leader and as he said one time, “I like ‘Acting’ [Secretary]” and similar try-them-out positions.
“Paul is absolute isolationist.”
That sounds good to me. I’m also an isolationist. Bring all of our troops home and deploy them to our Southern border. The entire world, especially Western Europeans, hate our guts anyway.
Only attack if we are attacked first.
Thomas Jefferson and George Washington warned against foreign entanglements.
My main problem with Rand Paul is his shaky stand regarding open borders.
I don’t mind troops on the border but absurd to think Islamic terrorists and terrorist states are just going to ignore us. That won’t happen.
To prevent Islamic terrorist groups and states from having a base of operation threaten this nation and national interests abroad.
Ignoring Islamic radicals doesn't mean they will ignore us.
It's same old BS and over and over again. Some just refuse to believe we have to be vigilant against Islamic terrorism.
There is NO scenario where Iran could be trusted. The only solution to the Iranian threat is regime change.
It would be embarrassing if Trump made the same mistake.
Yep, just thinking that today. I like the way he handles the press.
