Story related to Corker’s " on the path of WW III " statement about Trump and the recent AP poll showing a drop in Trump support in rural america. Over the weekend my son and I went up to our place in Maine to get the boat out of the water and get the lawn furniture put away in preparation to shut the place down. Although the town is in the first congressional district which usually votes Democratic and is the left leaning part of Maine the western areas of the district,away from the more progressive coast, are rural and usually vote conservative Republican. Also in the town is a retro 50’s diner built about 10 years ago that has a Rockola style juke box that the diner lets customers punch in the music they want to hear for nothing. Being a Sunday night in October there were not many people in the place and we were probably the only Massoles there with the rest being older locals. We are sitting there talking and that old 60’s song “Eve of Destruction” starts playing. We have been in this place many times through the years and that song was never in that juke box before now and it had to be one of the locals that punched it in. I found it interesting that the manager, or owner , of the diner had this song put into the juke box and one of the locals in this rural conservative area actually knew the song and felt the need to play it. It sure looks to me like people at least in this rural area are aware and concerned that Trump could start a war and they are not all that excited about it. I know for many of us the decline in public opinion regarding Trump has been painfully slow but it is happening and lets remember it has only been a little over 9 months since he has taken office. The public turning on Trump has actually happened comparatively quickly and even some of his base are starting to see the light. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
When Trump tries to scuttle the Iran Nuclear Agreement, the path to renewed sanctions runs through a committee Corker chairs and is populated by, Cory Gardner, Jeff Flake and little Marco: The Senate Foreign Relations Committee. This committee also has the power to investigate what Corker refers to as “The Path to WWIII.” This may be why Steve Bannon, Trump’s right hip, is calling for Corker to resign.
@eduardoinohio This may be why Steve Bannon, Trump’s right hip, is calling for Corker to resign.
Well, if you consider the buttocks to be part of the hip, then, yeah. I tend to see it as highly indicative of Bannon’s Leninist “tendencies”. I suspect the committee will be fairly busy trying to find some reasonable course out of the shitstorm that Drumpf seems so eager to stir up around the Iran deal. They’ll probably leave it to Meuller to do the investigatin’.
