Praying Mattis.....

 

Pretty fucking bad when your own Secretary of Defense says you are too crazy to work for. The Titanic is buoyant compaired to the sinking Presidency. Every day sees fewer and fewer adults in that Adminstration.

That isn't at all what he said. He basically said he is leaving because he thinks we should stay involved in wars for the sole purpose of protecting our alliances. It is a rather earthshaking change in US foreign policy and naturally is not supported by the career military establishment that has developed during a time when military intervention in foreign affairs has been considered normal and necessary. This is the first President in my lifetime that has actually started demilitarizing our overseas presence. And he didn't even get a premature Nobel Peace Prize. Where are all the pacifists who have been calling for exactly this sort of thing for decades? I'm actually kind of surprised Trump has stuck with it. I figured it was just another campaign statement and when he got into office he would take the path of least resistence and continue letting the Pentagon call the shots like they have for the last 40 years. 

What the fuck do you see as so important that we keep sending kids over there to die every year? 

If, if a white man puts his arm around me voluntarily, that's brotherhood. But if you - if you hold a gun on him and make him embrace me and pretend to be friendly or brotherly toward me, then that's not brotherhood, that's hypocrisy.- Malcolm X

There is no utopia on foriegn policy. It is never 100% isolation, or 100% colonialism.  But only one party starts needless bullshit only to cause long term involvement. 

 

Mattis was dealing with the same fucking asshole who said North Korea was no longer a threat, only for UN to say that if he isn't stopping his nuclear goals. Something our intel has been saying for years that he never had any intent.

Dan Coats also was surprised when the orange turd did this.

 

 

Trump is a fucking wrecking ball. PERIOD!

 It was Obama who started

 It was Obama who started our involvement in Syria and both parties acted in unison on Afghanistan. So I ask again, why is it so important for us to be there?

Is North Korea really a threat? How?

 And the difference is that

 

And the difference is that Obama fucking listened to his advisors, so yea, he was wrong in saying that ok. But Obama adjusted. The orange turd is acting like a king, not a president. No president prior, not Obama, not Bush Jr, not Clinton, not Bush Sr not Reagan, no other president since Nixon has lied and sold fear and ignored advice of those around them anywhere close to what the orange turd has. NOT EVEN CLOSE.

Staff comes and goes over 4 or 8 years under both parties. But again, no president prior has had this level of chaos and turnover. Trump is simply a fucking bully, and is doing anything he can to deflect attention away from the scrutiny of Mueller and SNDY investigations.

50 former republican intel agents signed a letter during 45's run, warning what ellecting him could do, and is doing. He is single handedly destabilizing the world and the nation.

So a President should just do whatever the military establishment says they should do? Wait a minute... are you saying that GW didn't lie? What happend to "Bush lied, people died"? Again, can you explain to me exactly why we should be engaging in military actions in Syria and continuing them in Afghanistan? Or are you just for those military actions because Trump decided to end them?

Well chaos inside the administration is a great thing if you are opposed to the administration isn't it? Would you rather the Trump administration be super effective at achieveing their goals?

The President only has the powers that have been given to him. I have been screaming about the executive branch becoming too powerful for decades. Nice of you to finally come over to my side. The thing about granting power to a position, is that you have to consider how that power will be used by someone you oppose. When the Obama administration was claiming powers, you didn't have shit to say about it and anyone who opposed it "just hated Obama".

 Bush 41 & 43 got hell for

 Bush 41 & 43 got hell for listening to their cabinet and security/military advisors and going into Kuwait and Iraq. Now, suddenly it the worse thing ever for a president to go against his advisors to keep us out of the fucked up middle east.

Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success. --Mark Skousen
