2 Things This Morning
1. Bolton: Bolton was removed because his Iran strategy was, “Who cares...carpet bomb them.” This was never Trump’s plan. *Endless wars are a sign of weak leadership.* He was replaced by replaced by O’Brien (timing was !quick!) who is “helping Trump navigate the Iran provocations.”. If he testifies (he won’t) he will prove his loyalty to POTUS as he sees the office as more important than the man who fills it, especially the CiC function.
2. Pelosi & Impeachment: Pelosi has said, since winning the Speaker position, that impeachment wasn’t on the agenda. Ultimately she was forced into the situation by the “roar” of the members, led by de facto speaker AOC. She is choked by the passage as it was clearly a partisan vote, which confirms her earlier position on a bi-partisan impeachment. She was right and knows she is right. Pelosi, intelligently, withheld the Articles as a way to regain her power position over the “Squad”. The Senate will never see the articles while Pelosi holds the ability to move them out of the House. Her calls for a fair Senate “trial” as so much smoke and mirrors, allowing her to hold on to her power.
Just some WE common sense musings.

As so often, Cletus, what you say cuts to the heart of the discussion and my whole body relaxes as your analysis hits home and truth. Well thought out!
Well said!
