When you say that this, "argument being embraced by Americans who are sympathetic to Hamas, Neo-Nazis and other extremists" is EXACTY what the right wing psychos conservative spread. and you've just following in line with that way of thinking.
I don't know or understand why you can't see it. Running with blinders I guess.
You decide who to believe, Kent or the Orange Jesus . . .

We know Iran had enriched Uranium and that Iranian leaders killed upwards of 30,000 of their own citizens in one day. Trump is a "big picture" guy. Joe Kent is only concerned about our own safety, not whether there is peace in the world outside the US. He wants to clean up the corrupt dictatorships of the world during his four years in office. If Trump gets the revolution he wants from the Iranian people, he will be judged by the results, not by whether every one of his subordinates agreed with him 100% of the time, and if that happens, Joe Kent will be the new barista at the local Capitol Starbucks.
Not when leaders or "old school" clerics are getting MERKED on a daily basis.
It will hopefully get "new" leaders with more western ideology. But only time will tell.
On Trump’s/Bibi war. The longer this goes the worse it’s gonna get, politically
This resignation isn’t a good sign
He's about as right-wing-conspiracy theory as they come, having claimed (among other things) that rogue intelligent agents were behind the Jan. 6 insurrection.
What's significant about this is mainly the growing split between factions of the MAGA right, those who are pro-Israel and anti-Israel.
Kent never should have been appointed to that position. Hopefully more of the anti-Israel nuts resign or are forced out.
that Bibi talked Trump into helping him start another war with Iran? On the one hand, I do believe Iran had to be stopped from developing a nuke and no one can say for sure how close they were let alone what their intentions were.
But I think it's also true that Trump is too easily influenced by thugs like Bibi and Putin.
100% correct. They were developing "Nukes" even when they were told not to. They were developing/buying ballistic missiles that can/could reach longer distances (Possibly USA), they were killing their own people, funding terror organizations, they were selling and purchasing sanctioned products from countries they were not supposed too, etc.
This is what people don't want to talk about with in IRAN. They just want to talk only about the "nukes".... when it was the ballistic missiles development/purchases, funding of terrorists, what they did to their own people, etc.
MAGA is growing more divided by the day with folks like Rogan, Owens, Greene, Massie leading the opposition. And there are more resignations to come . . .

He really didn’t like the idea of US troops operating in the Middle East.
I read nothing in the article that says he was bitter, although I'm sure was deeply saddened at her death, but she was serving her country just as he was. It happened seven years ago, and he remarried in 2023. If anything, his first wife's death likely made him more thoughtful about what this country should and should not get involved in. Military leaders understand that more than civilians who never served.

"I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives," Kent wrote.

Feb. 03, 2025 - Trump's post on Truth Social announcing Joe Kent's nomination:
"It is my pleasure to nominate Joe Kent as Director of National Counter Terrorism Center. As a Soldier, Green Beret and CIA Officer, Joe has hunted down terrorists and criminals his entire adult life. Above all, Joe knows the terrible cost of terrorism, losing his wonderful wife Shannon, a Great American Hero who was killed in the fight against ISIS. Joe continues to honor her legacy by saying in the fight. Joe will help us keep America safe, eradicating all terrorism, from the jihadists around the world, to the cartels in our backyard."
CKS175: "Kent never should have been appointed to that position."
Really, CKS175? Then why did Trump heap such praise on Joe "Only the Best" Kent?
CKS175: "Kent never should have been appointed to that position."
IOW, CKS175 is admitting Trump is a FUCKING MORON for appointing Kent.
At the hearing she said,
“ “The only person who can determine what is and is not an imminent threat is Benjamin Netanyahu “…😂😂😂
What she really said was it’s the president who determines who and what is an imminent threat but we or some know who pulled the strings on this war 😂
Orange dude just wanted to know how much money was in it for him.
Tucker Carlson's interview with Joe Kent, as reported by ABC News . . .
"During the interview with Carlson, Kent said there was no intel that Iran was planning a strike on the U.S. without the U.S. first launching an attack on them."

I heard that Kent had been excluded from those Intel Briefings. Note that he’s telling Carlson’s audience exactly what they want to hear.
on the attack of Iran. It's a well known fact trump doesn't care for the morning briefings. Trump heard this or that from FOX news, and then from MBS and Netanyahu. These are the drivers of the this war.
Now my only wish now is, if Israel wants regime change and this is their war, then it should be Israel's boots on the ground and not US. But that would really piss off the Middle East countries...so we're stuck
You realize you’re agreeing with Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Rashida Talib, Nick Fuentes, The Nation of Islam, the KKK and a multitude of other hateful bigots, don’t you?

Bibi DID con Trump into this war. If that's anti-semitic how come I'm Jewish? And I support Israel. I just don't support Bibi and his government. That's NOT anti-semitic. Your line of reasoning is one adopted by ignoramuses and partisan hacks of all stripes. ChicKenShit plays the anti-semite card but plays it badly. Just as a partisan hack would.
If you’re against Netanyahu, you’re an Antisemite. I’m pro Israel just not pro Netanyahu.
You’re view is so… right wing of you
I’m not suggesting that Happy is an anti-Semite.
It’s not partisan hackery to point out who the loudest voices are touting the “Bibi led/tricked Trump into war with Iran”. It’s not “conservative” to note that the audiences most believing of your theory are extremists from the far left and the far right.
It’s not just about Bibi. You think those folks are going their “from the river to the sea” aspirations to see Israel become a part of a Palestinian state? There are plenty of ways to criticize Trump and the Iran War (strategy, preparation, authorization) without joining ranks with the Anti-Israel crowd.
He is the one alleging Hpy and I have joined "ranks with the Anti-Israel crowd." That's the entire point of our response. From which ChicKie flees. And fails to rebut.
Like I said, there are plenty of other arguments or criticisms to level against Trump vis a vis his policy (or lack of policy) towards Iran. Why give credence to an ominously growing chorus of critics of Israel who espouse that theory with ominous implications regarding United States support for Israel.
When you say that this, "argument being embraced by Americans who are sympathetic to Hamas, Neo-Nazis and other extremists" is EXACTY what the right wing psychos conservative spread. and you've just following in line with that way of thinking.
I don't know or understand why you can't see it. Running with blinders I guess.
But would you concede that support for Israel, especially among younger voters, both on the right and the left, is waning? You might not be concerned with that trend, but I am.
Key Poll Results on Declining Youth Support
Negative Views Surge: According to a Middle East Eye report, 63% of young voters hold a negative opinion of Israel, rising significantly from previous years.
Sympathy Shift: A February 2026 Gallup survey found that for the first time, a majority of Americans aged 18-34 (53%) are more sympathetic toward Palestinians, while only 23% sympathize more with Israelis, a record low for this demographic.
Declining Favorability: Data shows favorable views of Israel among young adults dropped by over 25% over the past year, from 64% in 2023 to 38% in 2024, reports Middle East Eye.
Protest Generation: The Bulwark reported that only 13% of Gen Z views Israel positively, noting a "collapse" in support.
right wing psychos and conservatives, they feed off each other. There really isn’t a difference
You’re displaying a very naive understanding of the political spectrum here in the United States.
Conservatism is dead, it sold its soul to the MAGA lunatics.
It is because that is all they have. Lump everyone into one group. When it isnt the case.
These poster on here show they are the stereotype to a T for Dems/liberals.
They tell us who they are … they don’t hide that they’re low lifes.
Convince us you’re different…. Won’t hold my breath
Happy is denying the differences between the far right (who think Israel led the US into war)and Trump supporting conservatives (who support the war).
One of the loudest on the right is the antisemitic, white nationalist Nick Fuentes. The Holocaust denier who opposes all US support for Israel is now claiming that Bibi tricked Trump into the war. Happy chooses to agree with that stance, while at least 80% of Trump’s MAGA base supports the strikes in Iran. TDS afflicted Trump Haters like Happy are comfortable siding with Trump’s anti-Semitic critics because his hatred for Trump has diminished his ability to reason.
Some prominent right-wing figures, including Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., have splintered with Trump over the war, arguing it goes against his “America First” philosophy and violates his campaign promises not to enter into any new wars.
Worth a lookies…and I’m not the only one who believes Netanyahu is jerking Trump along.
Anyone with common sense and without Trump blinders could see this..SMH

"Look — I'm not a fan of the guy."
"If you look at his statements, he was all for everything. All of a sudden, he wasn't!"
"He was a man that I met at Dover. He came, and his wife was killed. He re-married fairly quickly. His wife was killed, and I felt badly for him."
"He ran for Congress, he lost. He ran for Congress again, and he lost...I said, he's a nice guy, I met him..."
"I said, it's a shame."
"He said very strongly Iran was not a threat? It's been a threat for 47 years!"
"I brilliantly have my people call him, offer him a job in security, essentially...and what does he do?! He goes out and says Iran is not a threat to get publicity."
Trump - 2/8/2022, declaring his love for Joe Kent:
"He does fantastically on television. I watched his interviews; I love what he says. But he's a strong guy, a handsome guy. I said 'that guy was good looking; he had the whole package.'"
After Kent quit, Trump said: "I didn't know him well but I thought - he seemed like a pretty nice guy."

Trump is a superficial fucking moron. He doesn't care if someone is qualified for the job. All he cares about is if the candidate looks the part.
