LA Times:
WASHINGTON — President Trump sought Wednesday to justify his now-scuttled summit with the Taliban while threatening the Afghan militants and other enemies with “power the likes of which the United States has never used before.”
The comments, at a Pentagon ceremony commemorating the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, underscored the president’s seemingly conflicting inclinations on foreign policy and his tendency to cloak his isolationist, deal-making leanings in bellicose threats.

Coming a day after the departure of national security advisor John Bolton, who often pushed back on the president’s ad hoc diplomacy, the president thus made clear he’s prepared to push forward on his initiatives in Afghanistan and other global hotspots.

“Trump has made clear that he’s his own principal advisor,” said David Rothkopf, who wrote a book about the National Security Council. “Right now I wouldn’t say there’s much of a national security process. And that’s dangerous because the president is inexperienced and erratic.”

I have never been a fan of Bolton. But if this is what him and Trump fell out over I side with Bolton. What a stupid idea.

Whatever finally pushed Bolton out the door, however, is far less relevant than where Trump goes from here. He will announce a new national security adviser next week, and the Washington parlor game is already swirling with names. […]- Daniel R. Depetris, TAC writer, Sept. 11, 2019

It’s being reported that the so-called “Front-runners” for the NSA job are quickly taking their names OFF the list. At this point, anyone who would take this job..or any other job in this administration…is someone with no reputation to lose. A person so pliable and so far down the list it doesn’t matter.

The serial lying, imbecile-in-chief: “I fired him.”

The warmongering imbecile NeoCon: “No. I resigned.”

The office of the U.S. president is become a veritable clown-show for ALL the world to see (a combination sh*tshow and hot mess). And it never stops….not even for a minute…smh!

Lordy I am SO embarrassed.
