Donald Trump is a lying, traitorous wolf who will oversee the destruction of America, and laugh all the way to the bank while doing it.

From the link above:
"Some readers familiar with the associations typical of such neocon movers and shakers might be surprised to not have read the words “Council on Foreign Relations” yet in this piece.

The wait is over.

Ted Cruz’s choice of Elliot Abrams to help craft his foreign policy is disappointing. Like his colleagues on Cruz’s council, Abrams is a leader in the neocon world, and he is a leader of what is perhaps the most powerful and pernicious group in the neocon network: the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).

While the CFR is the most notorious of the associations of Abrams, it isn’t the only one. He is also a member (or former member) of the Center for Security Policy, Hudson Institute, National Endowment for Democracy, and many more.

It is likely that it is because of the membership of Abrams in the CFR that George W. Bush chose him to be his deputy national security adviser for Global Democratic Strategy and that Ted Cruz has chosen to follow his advice on questions of foreign policy." (end quote)

Just waiting for the Trumpsters here on LDSFF to find their backbones and admit their mistake in supporting the man chosen by the elites to sit in the Oval Office.

Rand Paul: Do Not Let Elliott Abrams Anywhere Near the State Department

Super neocon Elliott Abrams is meeting with President Donald Trump today. He is under consideration for the position of Deputy Secretary of State.

Senator Rand Paul has fired a warning shot toward Trump regarding the potential nomination.

In an op-ed, today, Rand writes:
I hope against hope that the rumors are wrong and that President Donald Trump will not open the State Department door to the neocons. Crack the door to admit Elliott Abrams and the neocons will scurry in by the hundreds.

Neoconservative interventionists have had us at perpetual war for 25 years. While President Trump has repeatedly stated his belief that the Iraq War was a mistake, the neocons (all of them Never-Trumpers) continue to maintain that the Iraq and Libyan Wars were brilliant ideas. These are the same people who think we must blow up half the Middle East, then rebuild it and police it for decades.

They’re wrong and they should not be given a voice in this administration.
Rand, who is on the Senate Foreign Relations committee, has also stated that he would vote in committee against an Abarms nomination. Unless a Democrat on the committee flips to support Abrams, a Rand vote against Abrams would block a positive vote coming out of the committee.

It is possible in a bold move that Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell could still call for a full Senate vote without the blessing of the Foreign Relations committee but unlikely.

Blocking Abrams would be a heroic act by Rand but it would do little to eliminate the full contingent of bloodthirsty around Trump, there are many. Abrams is particularly evil but the Trump administration is filled with evil.

It should be noted that Trump's Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, is in favor of the Abrams nomination. That alone says a lot.

And yet the Trumpsters go on loving their guy. Of course we get it. We get that Hillary was terrible. None of us wanted her to be elected. But when Trump is selecting guys like Elliott Abrams, why won't the Trump supporters admit the danger of such a selection?

Bigger question: Who is advised Trump to name Abrams?
