    Ms. Loomer has been part of a group effort by some Trump allies to disparage members of the White House staff whom they consider too hawkish, too eager to commit American troops around the world and fundamentally at odds with Mr. Trump’s “America First” foreign policy.

    Of course, my concern here is that they want those troops at home. thinkin-lenin

      Exactly. I’m sure she wants Trump to do stuff like use nuclear weapons on Iran because in her pea brain that means the troops can stay home and take care of domestic problems.

      I don’t know if it’s reassuring or scary that the US is acting like they’re gonna need all the soldiers they can in US soil

        I can’t imagine why it would be reassuring. There’s not an organized Left for them to be afraid of. Which leaves us a nightmarish dystopia of right wing infighting, border expansions, and mass murder.

          In a “do they know something I don’t” kind of way. But I agree, scary proposition and I hope people stay safe. With how much worse things seem to be getting there’s bound to be pushback at some point.
