Jim Acosta sucks so bad he doesn’t even get top propagandist billing at CNN.

I hear ya.

The only item on my profile page fits Bolton to a T:

I voted for Donald Trump because I was tired of Ivy League globalist pr!cks running this nation's foreign policy. Anyone who still thinks the invasion of Iraq was a good idea shouldn't even be allowed to clean the toilets in the White House.

If I wanted a Sunni Muslim in the White House, I would have voted for Yeb! Bush.

[JonPreston]

You got that right, brother. No more neocon wars.

[LeoWindhorse]

I for one hope ‘something ‘ happens and we DO pull the trigger. Enough of the crapolla with Iran all the time . It’s time to settle it ,once and for all . Iran’s got it coming . It’s oppressed people cannot overturn the mullahs . It’s time to take them out .

No quarter .

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Here we go again. People misjudging Trump.

This is classic Good Cop-Bad Cop routine. Trump wants to get the Iranians to come to the table; Bolton & the neocons want war.

[Artcore]

Folks, this is CNN!

If the U.S. engages in military action against Iran, then Donald Trump may as well name Bill Kristol and Jennifer Rubin as co-managers for his (losing) 2020 campaign.

I'm counting on Trump to be smarter than that.

You want Trump surrounded by yes-men?

He even hired Larry Kudlow who was adamantly opposed to tariffs, and look at the wonderful stand that Trump made against kudlow’s wishes.

[Alberta's Child]

There's a major difference between Larry Kudlow and John Bolton.

Kudlow can advise the President and live with the results. And that will be the end of it.

My fear is that Bolton would actively work to undermine him. I don't trust Bolton as far as I can throw him.

[Alberta's Child]

Amen, brother. :-)

F**k the Saudis. If they can’t handle it themselves we should be happy to defend them and keep them rich fat anf happy...in exchange for ALL of their oil reserves.

Exactly. The Saudis and the Iranians have been at each other's throats for a thousand years and they would love for the US to get rid of their traditional enemy. And never forget who funded 9/11 and where most of the hijackers came from.

“Obama never took tough measures. Unless you call giving Iran 150 Billion Dollars “tough love”.”

But what about the time he drew that “Red line in the Sand” and dared Syria to cross it! ....oh wait....

[faithhopecharity]

ha ha.
CNN again.
says it all.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Iranians are not Arabs. Not even close genetically. They are a whole different enemy, a lot tougher and smarter than any Arab country. A real tangle with the Iranians would make Afghanistan look like a cake walk.
 

[Sequoyah101]

Oh it’s CNN and the car full of clowns. Never mind.

[SuperLuminal]

I agree... No war...

However, about seven well-placed nukes from the middle east to Iran and Pakistan would be a big step towards that... If any of them thinks about retaliation, Mecca becomes the next fireworks show...

[McGruff]

CNN = Fake News

[TigersEye]

I'm counting on Trump to be smarter than that.

You'd never know that from reading your sheep-bleating posts day after day after day.

DJT does business like this. He listens to all his advisors and he alone makes the choice of what to do. There is always conflict around the Trump inner circle, that’s the way he works. That the media does not understand is not surprising.

[Destroyer Sailor]

You don’t think the President knows that?
