The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Harm to Ongoing Matter - Page 64 - Politics and Economics

Speaking during a visit to Israel, Bolton said that certain “objectives” must be achieved before a pullout could take place. “The timetable flows from the policy decisions that we need to implement.”

Bolton acknowledged that pockets of the Islamic State remain undefeated and that a quick U.S. pullout could endanger U.S. partners and allies in the region, as well as U.S. forces themselves.

I wonder if this position will survive Trump's next call with Erdogan? Somehow I doubt it.

AOC winning Ms. OOT would be some A+ trolling.

I'd still like to know how it is that it's only the left that is constantly being asked how to pay for their agenda, but the right wing never gets asked how they're going to pay for tax cuts and increased military spending.

And on the rare times they do they bring up 'waste and fraud', which is essentially what AOC did on 60 Minutes and got hammered for.

“I’m going to pay for it by taxing billionaires, who have been ripping this country off for far too long. Next.”

On the D side, the buck stops with Nancy Pelosi, correct? So in the grand scheme, Coons Coonsing doesn't really matter, except to hopefully trigger an aggressive primary challenge.

Trump announces he wants to speak this week earlier today and is speaking tonight now. Seems pretty planned out. This should go well.

The people of Iowa rightfully are very concerned about the border.
