President Donald Trump has purged a Pentagon business advisory board and replaced its members with his former campaign manager and deputy campaign manager, neither of whom have served in the military or have any apparent experience with the defense industry.



Again, what is he up to?

I think he is going to pull all troops out of the middle east. He wants to say he ended a forever war as something to campaign on in 2024.

I am a big fan of getting out of there, but you have to do it in a way where you don't create a vacuum and let awfulness rise.

Like pulling out and leaving the Kurds high and dry? They were our allies for a long time in the war on terror. Now their new allies are the Russian backed Syrian army.

Yep. Exactly what we did in the 80s, which led to the older generation of guys like Bin Laden.

He'll say he pulled the troops out and Biden and the Dems sent them back. It's just political maneuvering. It'll also leave the ME more vulnerable and put Biden's admin behind the 8 ball if/when things escalate in the area one way or another. He's going to try and inflict as much damage/chaos domestically and internationally as he can so Biden has a ton of cleaning up to do.

I can't decide if he is doing this on his own, or someone with enough leverage over him is encouraging (or maybe inception-ing) it.

[ShelC]

Probably both. Seems he (or Pompeo) has also been getting pressured by Israel for more aggressive moves against Iran bc they think Biden is soft. Word now is that Trump told Pompeo to do what he wants with Iran, short of starting WW3. He had 4 years to do whatever he wanted, now he's pulling troops out of the ME and backing assassinations of Iranian scientists.

"premeditated fraud" is a great term.

Newsmax doesn't even pretend to be truthful when they only bring on members of the campaign. If there is actual evidence of fraud, why would GOP secretaries of state, or governors, or other elected officials be denying it, and only members of the losing campaign able to defend it?

[bIGDRAWLS0072]

The video shows fraud regardless of who denies it.

The video shows fraud regardless of who denies it.

So all of the trump appointed judges that dismissed his cases without merit are in on some conspiracy?

[Indy]

"let me build the narrative of how I believe this video is proof"

You don't need to build a narrative for a video that shows proof, and proof doesn't care if you believe it or not.

[bIGDRAWLS0072]

Did you watch the video Indy?

[Indy]

Yep. Did you? Count how many times he uses a conditional phrase or caveat when trying to describe what is happen. Or describing something someone said happened without proof or video evidence. Lots of "they probably" and "don't you thinks."

[bIGDRAWLS0072]

Did you see them pull the suitcases out from under the tables and start counting ballots?
