On Saturday, Brett McGurk submitted his resignation and is leaving the Trump administration.

McGurk served as the US envoy in a global anti-ISIS coalition and reportedly resigned amid President Trump’s decision to pull out of Syria—a decision which also reportedly led to the resignation of Defense Secretary James Mattis.

I'm SO old that I remember when FReepers pointed out that paying out 400 million in CASH, no matter what the hell is going on is shady as f***.

I know that the average American can't think past their nose, but even leftists have to admit that is a little "strange".

I'd even think that Bill Maher would be "concerned".

I am not sure why Trump did not fire all the Obama swamp creatures on the first day.

“And by the way, General Mattis was never all that on board with Donald Trump, he just had a very good resume.”

Agreed. “Mad Dog” was just a chihuahua. Obamatard was able to purge 150 conservative generals from the ranks and he couldnt come close to what Trump asked. I give him good marks on rethinking the strategy on Afghanistan but the pc faggot stuff in the Armed Forces, he was a total failure.

I like the idea of bringing home all of our guys and gals from the middle east. Then if we get pissed we can nuke those places without getting our people hurt.

"McGurk served as the US envoy in a global anti-ISIS coalition..."

WTF? How could someone work for Obama and be anti-ISIS?

The incomparably incompetent Susan Rice sent a snarky and well-publicized tweet to Trump, feeling the need to remind him just who Brett McGurk was and how important he was....

McGurk was originally given an appointment by GWB, and has been in various positions since then. He seems like a real good candidate to have been a Deep State operative who was manipulating endless war.

I think it's registering even with the most rabid anti-Trumpers. There really is a Deep State that's doing the dirty work for the Globalist Agenda.

The DOJ does not have district attorneys and Trump did get rid of U. S. Attorneys just as Clinton and most other presidents before have done. You apparently remember some scuttlebutt about Clinton firing all the U. S. Attorneys when he took office which was no big deal and if you’d checked, you would have learned that.

McGurk played JJV and was hoping to make, 'trainer' for the JV squad.

The worst mistake President Trump made was NOT draining the damn swamp. What a pathetic bait and switch it was. The “wall” is turning to be the same.

Somebody dropped the ball in identifying all the Obama offal which should have been shit-canned by February 1, 2016.

Has Trump asked Palin to apply for a job in the administration? I know the leftists would howl, but good. Interior perhaps?

You know, if US troops pull out of Syria, the result could be, bloodshed in the Middle East. See next post.
