Are the only sane people on this forum? Is everything else bots?

p.s. I think 90% of most Social Media traffic is bots: you oughta see what we go through around here to block them.

Smitty called it the day Flynn was cut. Trump cucked out that day and is only accelerating.

Well that's the other problem, because all these clowns like Justin Trudeau and Theresa May, they want to suck up to Trump and curry favour, not for military reasons, they are worried about trade and access, so they are all going to be sycophants, when really, Trump could actually use some excuse to hang back and "lead from behind" like Obama did, which did save America a lot of trouble over the past eight years, even if that did allow the ME to totally melt down, which, you know, let it burn already.

That does seem like the Establishment game plan, cajole Trump into getting himself bogged down in the ME in order to derail the rest of the agenda.

I don't think it matters, nepotism schmepotism, it's not like the "professionals" produce anything of any particular utility, since they're all captured by entrenched interests anyways, so might as well send the Kush, can't be any crazier, incompetent and/or corrupt than anybody else in Washington.

I mean, who would you rather have, L. Paul Bremmer? John Bolton? Don Rumsfeld?

I don't know what it achieved other than pushing the narrative I explicitly voted against. It could be all right but I have a feeling we are going to be creating even more refugees soon. Does not bode well. Reminds me of the Bush era so far.
