I thought FR consensus now considers both Bushes as traitors of the worst kind. Are you now suggesting that Trump's criticism of their engagement in'selective wars' is contrary to current FR commenting policy?

Policy differences don't make people "traitors of the worst kind."

I also really doubt President Trump would say that US soldiers were "used ... like a cheap whore."

Many would take objection to that kind of talk.

From what I've seen today, you are one of those people who can't help exaggerating and going over the top.

That makes it hard to take what you say seriously.

I can sympathize with your qualifying. Sometimes assertions are made without really thinking through the greater implications.

FR mirrors the larger organic processes which result as more information is discovered/revealed over time. Individually or collectively, adjustments are made that make previous held positions appear untenable.

OK, let's change track here for a moment. Question for you: why is the deep state so opposed to Trump? I mean, what exactly is it that he represents - or is - that poses such an existential threat? Why are they willing to violate numerous constitutional, legal and political conventions in an effort to thwart/remove him from office?

Answer that question, and you'll discover the explanation that drove many/most of this nation's policy directives.

semantic to x: "Are you now suggesting that Trump's criticism of their engagement in'selective wars' is contrary to current FR commenting policy?"

We should pause a moment to notice this most curious expression.
It sounds to me like semantic is not here in his home country but is rather just visiting from some other planet -- Planet Progressive perhaps?

"FR commenting policy"??

What is that?
