    To be consistent anyone that has died from Covid in the last 36 hours or so has been murdered by Biden.

    Divided Muslim sects having been engaged in civil wars for hundreds of years. The very last thing we need to do is go try to put a thumb on the scale. It's not going to stop infighting between sects in those countries. Our only interest over there is political control over oil and resources. Trump's sanctions seemed more effective than sacrificing the blood of our troops.

    I accept it, but it's a challenge for us to get Raytheon to accept it. We need a non-twitter obsessed outsider that does respect the decorum, but changes our foreign policy.

    That is true. He's the super spreader in chief. Anyone who gathers together and catches a contagious new flu-strain is his fault.

    Of course, he can "fix" the situation by having the CDC start counting heart attack deaths with Covid, strokes with Covid, and cancer deaths with Covid as heart attack, stroke and cancer primary causes of death again. You know, like we did before 2020. Covid deaths will drop to about the same numbers as influenza deaths, which have miraculously disappeared this season.

    To be fair the great Uniter also does not have to follow his own recently signed EO's.. Perhaps he forgot...

    Time to Impeach right? I mean as they great Nancy Pelosi is known to say "no one is above the law".

    Mike Pompeo has done a fabulous job with foreign policy and the State Dept. I'd be happy to see him run in 2024.

    Heading the CIA even for a short time is a disqualifier for me.

    Yes. I'm looking forward to the 2023 Congress being seated. They can try out the 8-Hour Quickie Impeachment with no crime, hearings or meetings. I think maybe impeach Biden 5 times in 5 days and maybe even try to get proceedings to less than 4 hours, so they can go enjoy a nice luncheon afterward.

    I understand the Swamp aversion, but aside from abolishing the CIA entirely, having a good man in there is the only way to reform. Pompeo has been very loyal to the America First platform and he is largely responsible for carrying out all of Trump's successes in foreign policy action. He gets it. I wouldn't write him off without listening to him.

    ~ This proves to be very difficult to achieve. All one has to do is look at the succession of FBI / CIA Directors and lackluster performance. One big disappointment is Trump's reluctance to completely gut the FBI. Who knows what the repercussions would have been.

    I would argue that those organizations can serve a useful function for national security. However, seeing them falsify information to frame a President and illegally spy on campaign members because they were determined for an establishment Swamp Creature to win the office, and then have zero arrests or accountability for corruption or the attempted coup, is perhaps enough to convince me that we are better off without the organizations entirely.

    Democrats and Republican war mongers have been saying since Trump called for the removal of US troops in Syria.

    Dems and GOP warmongers said ISIS was rising again in Syria when Trump said he wanted to pull the troops out. I see the narrative for war is already gearing up. There are lots of terrorists in Libya now. Hey Hillary, wanna job in the CIA?

    I expect that Hillary's influence is holding at least a couple of Biden's puppet strings.

    No.
    So why the idiotic thread about it being Biden fault?
    It's what happens when ME is left to themselves. Let them blow themselves up.

    Posters will be starting non-stop threads in this forum and political opinions forum. Some are legitimate issues (i.e. the minimum wage issue) to discuss. Many are just trolling and as long anti-Trumpers keep posting in them, they won't stop

    Looking at this thread, it looks like our Trump supporting friends have now fully succumbed to trolling. Unfortunately, no reasonable discussion can be had with people who pretend that a president can impact terrorists in Iraq on day one after taking office. It will be a long four years. Sad..

    A foreign terror attack occurs 1 minute after a Republican President assumes office.
    >Blanket the airwaves with baseless blame, claim the new President's divisive ways caused it.

    A foreign terror attack occurs 1 minute after a Democrat President assumes office.
    >Just don't cover it.

    For example?

    . . . so you didn't even try looking? I easily found coverage, even from the "MSM."

    oh please, nobody is going to reeducate you ... another conspiracy theory spun off a sill Katie Couric remark ... relax chicken little ...

    it's like so many of you desperately want bad things to happen so you can confirm your biases and pat yourself on the back for being a good little Trump soldier ... sit back, have a drink, watch a comedy on Netflix ... you're going to be okay ...
