While we're on the subject of "inappropriate" Presidential action in foreign policy, anyone remember when Obama betrayed Israel at the UN weeks before Trump took office?

wsj.com/articles/obama…
Or how about this "inappropriate" decision to give $400 billion cash to Iran

wsj.com/articles/u-s-s…
"Appropriateness" is not the standard for impeachable offenses, period

President Obama had the authority to speak for the United States in foreign policy

Now, President Trump has that authority

And Mr. Vindman and the rest of the NSC/State Department should stop whining

Folks - the point of the anti-@charliekirk11 campaign is not to push Charlie on nationalism, or to stand up for free speech

It's to attempt - foolishly - to mainstream anti-semitism
@charliekirk11 Less than two months ago, the instigator of this campaign described @MattWalshBlog as a "shabbos goy race traitor"

The racism is the point of the exercise; the argument about free speech is facile (it's a private event) and they know it
Anyone seriously questioning whether Nick is an anti-Semite, feel free to explain this one away

Is there any class of people more entitled than journalists?

Whoever G/O Media is should fire every last one of these insubordinate employees
What remarkably childish behavior

You are PAID to write for a sports blog

The owners tell you to write about sports

And you flip out and disobey them, publicly

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out
Why would you ever hire someone who had pulled a stunt like this?

Oh, if I don't like your performance or ask you do stop doing something that's hurting my business, you'll flip out and graffiti MY website?

Insanity

"In [foreign affairs], with its important, complicated, delicate and manifold problems, the President alone has the power to speak or listen as a representative of the nation."

United States v. Curtiss-Wright Export Corp., 299 U.S. 304, 319 (1936)
"As Marshall said in his great argument of March 7, 1800, in the House of Representatives, 'The President is the sole organ of the nation in its external relations, and its sole representative with foreign nations.'"

THREAD You'd better believe Mexico is paying for the wall. And a whole lot more.

Recently, Democrats such as Adam Schiff and Chuck Schumer have been criticizing the President, this time because the Pentagon signed off on Trump's request to use $3.6 billion for the border wall...
construction. On Twitter, Chuck Schumer accused POTUS of using the funding "to boost his own ego" for a wall that he promised Mexico would pay to build."
To my followers from Mexico:

This thread is not intended to offend you. It speaks of American strong-dollar policies. American conservatives support returning Mexico to the rule of law under its new President. We share your desire for justice in a new Mexico free from corruption

A small, immeasurably petty man, unworthy of the office he occupies.
An absolute f*cking disgrace, @DeptofDefense.

"Acting Defense Secretary @ActingSecDef Pat Shanahan was aware of the concern about the presence of the USS John McCain in Japan and approved measures to ensure it didn’t interfere with #Trump's visit." wsj.com/articles/white…
"A senior Navy official confirmed someone at the White House sent a message requesting that the USS John McCain be kept out of the picture while Trump was there.

A senior WH official also confirmed that they did not want the destroyer seen in photographs" wapo.st/2QyqyIo

MANESS: IN SUPPORT OF TRUMP'S DECISION TO EXIT FROM SYRIA.
NOTES LONG LIST OF FAILURES BY FOREIGN POLICY SWAMP:
Many "...people attacking President Trump today over Syria, are they themselves responsible for the chaos we see currently in the Middle East"
breitbart.com/politics/2018/…
RIDGE: "TRUMP WAS RIGHT TO WITHDRAW FROM IRAN DEAL"
Europe & Obama Admin's folly: "...JCPOA’s final text significantly enriched and emboldened Iran.... with a $150 billion American remittance, the regime could escalate its regional destabilization efforts"
foxnews.com/opinion/former…
TRUMP CALLED OUT NATO: “DESIGNED TO PROTECT EUROPE FROM RUSSIA,
SO IT’S UNFAIR FOR THE US TO PAY THE LION’S SHARE OF COSTS”
“…most coverage suggested he was tearing the alliance apart…
reporters ignored the fact that his criticism is bearing fruit”

Next time you hear RW Israelis & “pro-Israel” types justify their Trump love affair by claiming he has Israel’s back but Obama & HRC “betrayed” Israel, call bs on them with this.
(article here: wsj.com/articles/iran-…)

And you might also ask such folks why the US should not fund erstwhile allies in Syria & instead fund military buildup on US southern border to defend against a bogeyman.
P.S. What’s scary is mindset whereby all sins by one’s “side” are excusable bc motives are deemed per se pure whereas other side’s motives are per se hostile
Only way a) Helsinki can be ignored by patriotic Americans; b) US allowing Iranian ctrl of Syria can be ignored by Israel
