Interesting analysis...

JMO, but as much as I dislike the budget deal, I’m getting the impression perhaps Mr. Trump is looking at a larger picture. Perhaps the analogy is “Real engineers ship stuff.”

Bear in mind it takes any President time to get up to speed on just how to get things accomplished. Given the continuous drumbeat of negativity surrounding him, I view it as possible Mr. Trump simply wanted the d$%m discussion finished, so he could move on to other items.

Again, I don’t agree with the budget deal. But I understand why it happened. And I also think Mr. Trump is just now learning how treacherous the swamp can become.

If Obama had wanted Pelosi out as Speaker she would have been gone in a heartbeat.

Thanks for your analysis, Liz.

Michael Savage was complaining that Bolton would take us back to the Bush Iraq years.

No, we need a tough guy to fight our own intelligence community. Bolton’s approval may have been a condition for signing the horrible $1.3 trillion budget.

Surely you jest. Pelosi was there while Obama was still running around Indonesia wearing a loincloth and a turban, and she’s there long after he’s gone.

Good point....a time-tested way to nail a leaker.

Give out false info then watch where it goes.

Hope springs eternal. Of course, this should have been done on January 21, 2017.

“I have no doubt that McMaster wrote it, my only question is, did HE leak it!”

It doesn’t matter whether it was McMaster or one of his Obama/Susan Rice-approved holdovers/new hires.

How would the media know what Bolton is planning to do?

Is there a leak?

Correct!

That’s why I celebrated when Trump ridded himself and us of that man - almost giddy until he signed that bill!

F U you’re nothing more than a typical lying progressive. You never supported Trump in the first place and any invective you throw my way will be appreciated because I wear the criticisms scumbags like you as a badge of honor.

Stop sounding like a little whiney whelp. You sound like a typical leftist republican, you actually believe that a President can force out of office a Speaker of the House and a Senate Majority Leader? You’re obviously to stupid to be a conservative or a Les Deplorable.


Correct. This is basic civics but it seems lost on the tantruming fair weather Trump supporters.It’s sad to see because Democrats never stop fighting. Ever.

Right. Keep in mind that they probably set this up to narrow it down to the actual leaker very quickly.

Remember -- it was actually THREE leaks in short order, not one.

1. Trump calls Putin to congratulate him on his victory.

2. Trump was advised that he shouldn't do it.

3. Trump went ballistic when #1 and #2 were leaked to the media.
