    The incredible thing is that a Trump appointee is publicly telling the truth!

  2. This seems actually kind of important. I’m sure Trump will bash him and all but to call out Israel and be in that role with a wealth of intel at your fingertips, feels like it’ll have some impact. I hope at least..

    Especially given the fact that Trump and his cabinet of morons were given briefings stating that war with Iran could have major military and economic implications and they just ignored all of that.

    Hopefully, this will start a domino-effect of professionals in the defense-intelligence establishment doing the right thing by exposing this evil fraud, and then leaving.

    Someone saw the light. This is the surface of the brewing civil war happening in MAGA. It’s actually going to be interesting to see how that unfolds. Hope this means the US withdraws and ends this war.

  6. > I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. 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.“

    loud and clear

  7. The fact that he had to quit his job before he could say what the intelligence actually showed is the whole problem in one sentence.

    Every time someone opposes the lunacy they just resign. How about you stay in your position and do everything possible to stop the war? Convince your colleagues maybe? Just quitting doesn’t help anything they will just replace you with a yes man. Better to let them fire you and kick and scream out the door.

    Trump’s Nazi fucks don’t want to fight a war for the Jewish homeland. Shocking! Killing Muslims for lulz is fine, but doing it for Israel is a bridge too far.

    Trump is showing at least 5 generations the worst of this nation.

    It is good that people are doing the right thing and stepping away from this corrupt administration.

    Release the Epstein files already

    Totally doing this to run against MGP in her district. I mean she is lame duck DINO as well.

    Oh gross. Is he moving back to south west Washington? We don’t want him here. Hope he stays in DC.

    Rats are starting to flee the ship. It means the people who remain are the worse of the worse.

    Good for him… Good for us. However, there should never be a redemption arc for any of these low-life, diet Nazi f#cks that sat by and allowed for the continued execution of a Palestinian holocaust, the start of two illegal US wars, and the rise and institutionalization of American fascism. Joe and all the others have morally and financially bankrupted the US and our collapse will be because these mouth-breathers put party and cult before citizenship and American democracy.

  15. This guy changes his mind a lot. Started out as a Libertarian, switched to Democrat then to Republican two yrs later. Reported to have a slant toward White Supremacist and lost an election to the same Democrat twice before Trump gave him the booby prize job as Tulsi Gabbard’s assistant director. He wrote a nice I hate you/I love you essay to his Bro Trump though.

    Trump is nothing but a fucking puppet. Dude will bow to literally anyone that kisses his ass enough. This dude needs to be impeached.

  17. That said, if you look at Joe Kent he’s a piece of shit as well

    Had a paid member of the proud boys consulting, felt bad for the J6 rioters, thought the mar a Lago raid was unjust.

    What happens when all the valuable, principled people with balls leave their position and there’s nobody left except illiterate, untrained, Dunning-Krugered sycophants

  19. whatlineisitanyway on

    Think of how terrible it must be for anyone that has supported everything else Trump has done to quit now.

  20. Who wound up Trump into attacking Iran? Was it Netanyahu? Where is that fucker by the way? Was it Jared Kushner? Was it Sean Hannity and Mark Levin from FOX News? Someone got Trumpy all worked up and now look where we are. People are getting killed over this bullshit.

    Did I….did I just agree with Joe Kent?

    Quick, someone get me a weather report for Hell

  22. CyrusBuelton on

    Wow. A Trump cock-gobbler finally had enough…..

    Too bad it had to be Joe Kent….a certified shit head

  23. Paolosmiteo on

    Won’t make a difference, nothing will come of it. Trump and MAGA will turn on him and carry on.

  24. I just read this mans Wikipedia page and he is your cookie cutter misinformed maga. It’s sad because he thinks he is principled and today’s actions shows he might be, but this guy has A LOT of contradictory views.

  25. president__not_sure on

    what i’m reading here is that he was ok with the rape and pedo stuff.

    All the leaks and resignations are a good sign.

    Leaks only happen when those in these positions feel like their voices are being heard and things are mostly going ok.

    When we start to see leaks and resignations like this, it means this administration is fucking up. Not just because of their actions, but also because they’re not listening to those that are there to help.

    “If you take out Saddam, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region.” Benjamin Netanyahu testifying before US Congress, September 12, 2022 https://www.c-span.org/clip/house-committee/user-clip-benjamin-netanyahu-projects-the-benefits-of-war-in-iraq-2002/4529789

  28. If it took a counter terrorist intelligence official 3 weeks to figure that out, we are screwed.

    It was evident on day 1 that this war was stupid and unnecessary and that it was done because President Netanyahu of the United States of Israel and her American colonies wanted it.

    Oh oh, did Trump mess up and appoint a competent administrator rather than an unquestioningly loyal one? Can’t have that!
