Bob Corker Says Trump’s Recklessness Threatens ‘World War III
The New York Slimes ^ | October 8, 2017 | Jonathan Martin and Mark Landler

Posted on 10/08/2017 6:41:00 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

WASHINGTON — Senator Bob Corker, the Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, charged in an interview on Sunday that President Trump was treating his office like “a reality show,” with reckless threats toward other countries that could set the nation “on the path to World War III.”

In an extraordinary rebuke of a president of his own party, Mr. Corker said he was alarmed about a president who acts “like he’s doing ‘The Apprentice’ or something.”

“He concerns me,” Mr. Corker added. “He would have to concern anyone who cares about our nation.”

Mr. Corker’s comments capped a remarkable day of sulfurous insults between the president and the Tennessee senator — a powerful, if lame-duck, lawmaker, whose support will be critical to the president on tax reform and the fate of the Iran nuclear deal.

>>We now see that it’s important that critical government
offices like the AG never be filled with people from Congress. All of the Department Heads, especially the
AG, should come from outside the government.<<

BINGO! And Trump is constantly having his arse handed to him for not having figured this out.

Corker, you lying whore. You and Obama guaranteed Ezekiel 38. Also, your bud Hillary and the Democrats have been trying to start World War IV with the Russians.

It’s North Korea that is the immediate problem.

Just in case anyone thought Corker may have some sense, he is proving that he is totally insane.

"Corrupt Corker needs to be sent to jail. $3 million in city and county sales tax over 20 years? Only a sleazy politician would be eligible to cut a deal like that. There needs to be in investigation."

There was some swamp news out of North Carolina, today. A developer , a state legislator and an aquarium.

I understand Corker was the enabler of the Iran Nuclear Deal in the Senate with his “Corker Amendment”.

He worked with Obama to put Israel under the bus.

Corker should leave and I’m glad he decided to run next year.

Nothing worse than a guy turning around and throwing darts as he's leaving the job.

If Corker believes what he just said, why is he leaving the Senate instead of sticking around to make sure he's part of the solution instead just a complainer about the problem?

To think Cruise with the others scolded Cotton as the only dissent against Corker. Bunch of a$$ holes.

Where is Jeff Sessions? Any body see the old man?

You can tell a man by his deeds. Jeff Sessions is no man.

You obviously never had to pump out a cesspool or a pit toilet.
I could describe it to you but I think you would rather keep your supper.
It is my belief that DC is a well mixed combination of the two.

I have no doubt McConnell approves. Senators pass hte baton. Flake is headed to a primary and can’t run his mouth. So Corker picks up the cause for his like. It’s all beltway theater.

I do believe that was little Georgie Bush who shot one of his hunting companions.
Down in Texas on a bird hunt if I recall correctly.

Actually, it was then Vice President Dick Cheney.

The media had a field day at the time.
