Erdogan himself didn’t make time to meet with Bolton and said that “despite the fact that we reached a clear agreement with Mr. Trump, different voices have been raised from different echelons of the U.S. administration.”
2/ Erdogan: “Trump’s views on Syria and his determination to pull out remain our point of reference.” Re Bolton request Turks don’t attack Kurds, Erdogan said he “cannot make any concessions. Those involved in a terror corridor (in Syria) will receive the necessary punishment.”
3/AP: Shortly after Bolton’s meetings and in an apparent snub to the U.S. diplomatic push, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Ankara’s preparations for a new military offensive against terror groups in Syria are “to a large extent” complete.

Knowledgeable source tells me that White House forced out Pentagon Chief of Staff Rear Admiral Kevin Sweeney (ret.)
Official title was “Chief of Staff to the Secretary of Defense.”
Sweeney was going to leave within a couple months, having worked directly for Mattis, but WH forced him out before he wanted to leave, knowledgeable source says.

Retired four-star Admiral William McRaven, the commander of U.S. Special Operations Command from 2011 to 2014 (which included the OBL mission), just issued the following statement to CNN in response to POTUS attacking GEN McChrystal on twitter:

1/4
2/4
“Stan McChrystal is one of the great generals of this generation and the finest officer I ever served with. He is a deep strategic thinker, tactically brilliant, with unparalleled personal courage. His leadership of special operations forces in Iraq and Afghanistan...
3/4
“... unquestionably saved the lives of thousands of American and allied troops, as well as countless civilians. No general I know has given more in the service of this country."

Rush Limbaugh= RUSH: The more this goes on, the more we lose sight of the real abomination that all of this is. This entire investigation that Mueller is conducting is bogus. It is predicated on nothing but a made-up allegation for which no evidence has ever been found or cited,
and therefore the investigation should never have begun! If you ask me, we’re now two years into this investigation with Mueller’s phase of it at a year and a half or close to it — 16 months, something like that.
It is simply unacceptable. It ought not be tolerated that a 16-month investigation that itself is the result of the Obama DOJ and FBI planting evidence and creating false claims about people… We don’t know what this is about!

As Trump crows about the “best economy ever,” now would be a good time to read the 🔥 report the U.N. just released on poverty in America, declaring that for all but the richest, “the American Dream is rapidly becoming the American illusion.”

Its findings are damning.

(THREAD)
1. “IMMENSE WEALTH... IN SHOCKING CONTRAST WITH THE CONDITIONS IN WHICH VAST NUMBERS OF ITS CITIZENS LIVE":

40 million in poverty

18.5 million in extreme poverty

**5.3 million in "Third World conditions of absolute poverty”
2. THE AMERICAN DREAM “IS RAPIDLY BECOMING THE AMERICAN ILLUSION”

“Zip codes… are tragically reliable predictors of a child’s future employment & income prospects… & the equality of opportunity… is a myth, especially for minorities, women, many middle-class White workers.”
