Fixed your post.

Seriously, what do you have on the line to judge how flippant I can be? The global economy going belly up? Going to hurt your pocketbook? Boo hoo Zeke?

You've given no reasonable explanation as to why there would be a war other than "NK is crazy", and "American's won't stand for a nuclear armed Korea"

When in reality, Korea isn't remotely "crazy" and no foreign policy experts who have studied the NK regime believe them to be anything but rational, if brutal actors...and the US has "stood for" a nuclear Korea for a number of years now. The genie is out of the ****ing bottle and any attack on NK becomes the catalyst for letting a nuke off the chain. It's the only way they let one loose, because again they're rational actors and their goal is the survival of the regime. If their goal was to be a nihilist destroyer of their enemies, Japan would be glowing already.

Rocket Man has to find balance between the hard liners in his military (the only domestic threat to his power), the Chinese (who would happily facilitate that transfer of power if RM goes fully off the reservation...the don't like the instability in their backyard at all) and the US. That they've done so for years suggests that infact they are completely rational actors in all of this with shitty, but entirely rational goals.

You make it sound as if I am in the white house beating the war drums.

I am not. There are plenty of others who are though, and don't act like you don't see the signs that the USA is starting to gear up for a conflict.

I don't need a rational for war. The president does. He has never hidden his dislike for the regime or the fact that he would use military power to stop them. And looking at who's falling out of favor in the white house right now compared to the people rumored to be coming in, its clear to me at least, that should these talks go belly up(let's hope they go better than nafta) the US is going to start with their military options.

So I've given no reasonable explanation as to why there would be a war. True. I don't know the exact reasons the leadership of the United states would have for war. What I do know is that they are acting like one is right around the corner, and why go through all that trouble if not to follow through?

Who advised Stormy 130 K was close to enough? She really is a dumb porn star. That' shockingly low for what she had on abillionaire running for Prez.

Petty.

He was gone anyway, dude was retiring on Sunday. This is an attempt to scare others to get in line. Now he gets to lawyer up and make this a party.

I would reserve judgment until the IG report comes out. There is something there.
 
Apparently he got caught in multiple lies by the IG and that is explicitly expressed as fireable in the employment agreement. This is why I want to see the IG report.

It’s easy to just say it’s Trump but apparently this is from the IG. McCabe gave them reason.

So fire him so he doesn't collect a pension?

Because he was retiring Sunday, no fear of shoddy work

I've got 100 that says McCabe sues and gets his pension back in the end.

I'm entirely open to the idea that McCabe either isn't clean or ****ed up hard enough somewhere for the IG to suggest firing. What I don't believe for a second is that this isn't being used as an excuse by Trump to try to scare the rank and file and I doubt that any required administrative policies for his termination were followed.

I'm pretty comfortable with blind betting on Trump being greasy in the termination, even if it ultimately proves to the warranted.
 
He’ll get most of his pension for sure based on laws. The OIG recommended firing to sessions. That is big. Same OIG obama had.
 
So I watched Austin Powers again last night. Anyone notice the eerily similar demeanor of Dr. Evil and Trump? I was laughing extra hard because of it. He gets everything wrong then tells people to zip it. Too funny.
