This development was very disturbing to me as well, on several additional fronts, than even mentioned here. I do find it ironically rich that the Iranians properly credit Bolton for his role on Soleimani, while Trump cannot.
) The President of Red Eye has an additional problem in that he is on his own political island. If, God forbid, something happens to him...should the Media & Left complain at all, it would only be as a way to blame Trump (which he'll mostly deserve). Many political islanders end up eventually changing positions & moving to the other side (don't complain to me if Cheney or Kinzinger wind up doing exactly that), but Bolton never would. Right or wrong, he's very principled. I can only hope he hires his own personal security.
) To me, the context is much broader here than just Trump's retribution - something more like: 'politicization of violence'. I'm personally disturbed by ALL of it: Trump's pettiness with Bolton here, pardons of the Jan 6 violent criminals, Paul Pelosi's attack, the Left's yawn at threats on Supreme Court Justices, the BLM riots, the persecution of Daniel Penny, etc etc etc. I would also add in the deliberate downplaying of Trump's assassination attempt (note I completely disagree with Daly that the "Trump Fell" type headlines were by-and-large unintentionally misleading). But this violence all needs to be condemned in the harshest possible terms by all political figures & media. We all know it won't though & to me, Trump is missing a real unifying opportunity to be a Leader by example on that exact front.
) As a perfect example of that aforementioned broader perspective - Daly's own comments here could apply almost EXACTLY to Daniel Penny & its precedence:
"Is this a healthy thing for our nation? Does it encourage capable people — individuals of integrity — to HELP OTHERS IN DANGER? Why would such people go out on a limb, and put themselves in potential danger in service to HELPLESS VICTIMS, if something as menial as a political difference could disqualify them from protection by our government?".
3. I don't hate anyone. An example of "hate" would be a U.S. president denying a former administration official of Secret Service protection while that person was under threat of assassination by a foreign government. Any thoughts on that particular scenario, Conrad?
John,
Be more balanced with your remarks!
Carl, What's the favorable argument to Trump on this issue?

Berney, your hateful attitude towards President Trump is apparent.
1. It's "Bernie," not Berney.
2. Bernie didn't write this. I did.
3. I don't hate anyone. An example of "hate" would be a U.S. president denying a former administration official of Secret Service protection while that person was under threat of assassination by a foreign government. Any thoughts on that particular scenario, Conrad?
