Better known as his cult following.

So you think he has had this as a goal since the beginning? He let several Iranian attacks slide without a response.
I think he will respond then pull back unless they begin to escalate.
Escalation already is upon us.

Let's cross our fingers and pray this won't weaken the dollar. Otherwise some American expats living in Thailand are going to feel it.
Baht up today though.

That's why folks call it a cult. There's a groupthink that mirrors cult behavior. It's not their beliefs that matter, but whatever their leader believes. If he changes his belief 180 degrees then the whole cult changes their beliefs even if it's the opposite of a day ago. Liberals have their own nuttiness, but I'll give them this much, they can't stand any leader because no one could ever fit all of their often conflicting woke standards. But at least they have something like standards. The Trump cult has only one: what does Trump believe and whatever that is becomes their belief instantly. .

3 hours ago, Samui Bodoh said:It is speculation on my part, but I think that this is the reason that Pelosi decided to hold off sending the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate. The case of Bolton's deputy was always going to be decided, one way or another, around this time so I think she decided to wait for a resolution. The courts were never going to say that he had full immunity from testifying (the verdict was going to be 'to what extent he had to'), so this was always going to bring pressure and it has.
While I am sure that the White House would object to Bolton testifying, I don't see how he could avoid it, both personally and professionally.
I don't care for Bolton's political views, but by all accounts he is an extremely smart, competent lawyer and thus he will know that Trump's blanket claim of Presidential immunity/privilege from testimony is nonsense and that even the attempt to claim it is damaging to the US. There is such a thing as Presidential Immunity/privilege from scrutiny and it is a good thing; Presidents do need people around them to give unfettered advice free from later second-guessing by Monday Morning Quarterbacks. However, blanket immunity/privilege for people who are paid by the US government is not a good thing, and more importantly, immunity/privilege cannot be used as cover-up for illegal acts; this is ALREADY an established legal principle.
On a more personal level, Bolton has already received a very large advance to write a book. How could he write a tell-all book to make a profit, but not tell Congress the same stuff? It would be immoral and unpatriotic at minimum, and those are accusations that don't fit the man (he is just wrong about stuff. Very, very wrong.).
Once Bolton is testifying, the arguments against the others testifying crumble; buckle up, boys and girls, it's gonna get interesting!
Finally, I will come back to something I have posted before; the 'Trump Test'. Bolton has to be concerned about his reputation and place in history, and too close association with Trump will ruin that. The test; can anyone name a person who has seen their reputation improve based on their association with Trump? Anyone? A single name? Bolton needs to place himself outside of Trump's splash zone, and testifying is a good way to do it.
I have said it before and sadly need to say it again;
Donald Trump is an ever-expanding cloud of toxic waste that defiles everything it touches.
Get rid of him now!
Oh, on behalf of the rest of humanity. please re-join the Paris Accords. TIA.
Spot on, thanks for this post!

Because the previous administration was weak. They could have done the same but weren't strong enough. Either that or were too aligned with the Iran point of view.

Fair question. You get advise from experts around the world. Not an entirely novel idea I think.

I read in some other news yesterday that Iraqi parliament voted to kick US (and NATO) military out of Iraq and prohibit US or anyone else from performing any operations in their country. Not sure there's much point in linking the article as it's not in English, but basically Iraqi government would now need to carry out parliament's direction. Sending 1000s of troups to Iraq therefore was a bit of waste of travel then.
Done already: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jan/5/iraq-parliament-votes-expel-us-military/

Who? The so called deep state?
Do you know who made that phrase famous? Steve Bannon
But check what he wrote recently about the deep state:
The “deep state conspiracy theory is for nut cases,” Mr. Bannon is quoted as saying in a new book released next week, “Deep State: Trump, the FBI and the Rule of Law” by James B. Stewart
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/oct/5/steve-bannon-declares-deep-state-conspiracy-theory/
Funny how Intelligence overnight is no longer the "deep state" when trump uses Intelligence to justify

2 hours ago, Thaidream said:Trump could have easily ordered the strike and then the US could have easily denied any responsibility for it. Similar to what the Iranians have done with the bombing of Saudia Arabia's oil fields.
Instead Trump. always playing the hero and having to take credit for everything- not only lauds the killing and then boasts that the US will strrike again at 52 targets. It plays well to his base and all those Americans who can sit home watching TV, and whose children can still go about their business as the US no longer has conscription.
Now 3,000 more US troops are headed to the Middle East to join thousands of others tied down in Saudia Arabia and Quatar not to mention those on ships at sea.
Does iran support terrorism and was the Iranian General a leader and supporter of State terrorism. There is no doubt.
Dealing with these issues takes a broad coalition of Allies as well as the use of Special Operations forces and Inteligence operatives. He did not seek the guidance of any of the US Allies or the US Congress. He acted alone/
Donald Trump's actions and his stated bravado have now put the World on edge. His scuttling of the Iran Nuclear Agreement- which was signed by the US: the EU and Russia started the march toward war.
Every allied country and the US CIA and US Defense Department advised Trump not to pull out of this agreement. Against all sound advice- he did what everyone said not to do and then added on sanctions.
The US is tied down in Iraq; Afghanistan and possibly North Korea. Now we have a posiblity of going to war with Iran. The US has spent almost a Trillion Dollars on this nonsense while Americans at home cannot afford healthcare; cannot afford an education and have a crumbling infrastructure.
Donald Trump is a meglomaniac and an incompetent who refuses to understand that what really makes America a great country is to stop playing the policemen of the World; stop abrogating agreements made in good faith and start listening to the experts within the Us Government who actually know what they are doing.
How many more Americans have to die; how many more combatants on either side have to be wounded and disabled? No more. Bring the troops home.
AWESOME POST. Truthful and I could not have said it better. Thanks
