Bit ironic how you used to throw shit at the basement for baiting in threads but you seem to be doing the same in every thread now.

The big question is who is replacing him, and that is not good news. >Pompeo, who was the head of CIA. Hmm, wonder how his view on Iran is? Big trouble I would say, and the danger of war with Iran are increasing dramatically.

Trump to the New York Post:
“I actually got along well with Rex but really it was a different mind-set, a different thinking,” Trump said as he departed the White House for a trip to California. “When you look at the Iran deal, I think it’s terrible. I guess he thought it was OK . . . So we were not really thinking the same. With Mike, Mike Pompeo, we have a very similar thought process. I think it’s going to go very well.”


Who will replace Pompeo? I will tell you; its a person who ran a secret prison in Thailand, Gina Haspel.

So now the former leader of CIA will be running USA foreign polecy! And a former torturist will be running CIA.

We haven't even had a good basement thread in ages :( They do trolling with taste. Bram's attempts recently are just bad and have no redeeming value.

To be on topic, he was fired for not appeasing Russia enough. Our President is loyal to another government, and the overwhelming majority of his party is complicit in that. We're sort of in uncharted waters here... Hoping the Europeans can take the lead in championing liberal democracy.

Unfortunately there is nothing former about torture in the CIA.

As for war, I don't think it would be very good for the US to step into Iran. War in the Middle East has never turnout well for them, and their friends are decreasing somewhat.

What does "tough on Muslims" even mean?

If that's what you meant, you picked a strange way to phrase it.
