Let the exodus begin.

"President Trump's director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, announced his immediate resignation Tuesday, citing the decision to begin a war against Iran when "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation."

Kent, nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate last year, posted his resignation letter on X Tuesday morning. He claimed the war was "manufactured" by Israel.

"I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran," Kent wrote in his resignation letter addressed to the president and posted to X. "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

Good. Replace him with someone who is competent.

Why would Trump break his string and appoint someone who knows what the fuck they’re doing?

This guy was former Green Beret and had associations with far right groups. So, even the hard right is bailing on the Orange Fuckstick

Even Green Berets can be incompetent .

Competent means throwing out your education and experience and doing exactly what Trump wants. You love your dictators, don't you? Trump consulted with Netanyahoo for this war. His real experts were not involved.

You can't handle the truth.

You can't handle the truth.

I can handle the fact that he will be replaced by a better person and you can't handle that fact.

Trump and the MAGA Neocons who post on this board just love war.

There is no one like that in DonOld’s circle. They fired the competent people. They only want ignorant “yes” people with no experience.

Good for h im. There is zero room in a Trump organization or administration for anyone with morals, ethics, a conscience, principles, honesty, or the courage to stand up to the Bloviating Bully-in-Chief.

What took him so long?

 

[Phantasmal]

Oh son NOW he is the new daring of the Left.

You make up a lot about the left and myself, none of it true, but it seems to make you happy.

 

[christiefan915]

That's what trump will say and you, as his loyal follower, will repeat it. I doubt you asked yourself "does he have a point?" That's what trump's counting on.

Good. Replace him with someone who is competent.

Replace him with someone who is competent. corrupt, conscience-less, and malleable.

Fixed it for you.

Good. Replace him with someone who is competent.

Iran has been forty seven years of imminent threats....

I can handle the fact that he will be replaced by a better person and you can't handle that fact.

Do you understand that since you have no idea who will replace him, you do not know for a fact that he will be replaced by a better person. That is such fundamental logic.
Kent has military intelligence experience. He worked at the CIA. He led an agency that analyzed and detected terrorist threats. He is a MAGA hardliner, yet saw that Trump's war could not be justified.
You have no idea who will replace him and therefore no fact to refer to.

Oh son NOW he is the new daring of the Left.

Are they excited or what?

Oh son NOW he is the new daring of the Left.

They're easily enamored, aren't they?

Grandstanding. I wonder where he'll be working next.

 

[Jake Starkey]

Joe Kent is far almost alt right.

He is no neo-con.
