After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this… pic.twitter.com/prtu86DpEr

X is literally 50/50 about this decision. I support his stand.
That being said, he needs to get some serious private security, otherwise he might have an “accident”.
Thank you, Joe Kent, for your honesty. I stand with you.
Obviously this guy hasn’t seen the video blackmail evidence against Trump.
This guy has experience in the mideast as a soldier and seems to know the politics of the region.
He also seems to like telling the truth,hope he has a great future but he needs to keep head on a swivel…..,feel he knows that.
I do not agree with Joe Kent’s decision to do this, especially now. Bad timing. President Trump went out of his way to create a position for Joe Kent after he lost his election bid in Washington State twice, and now he has resigned. Seems like many criticized Dan Bongino for walking away, but are supporting Joe Kent’s decision. You may not agree with President Trump, but it’s wrong to undermine him in the middle of an action, especially since it just started. There will be plenty of time to do that afterward if it is warranted.
Maybe, but I haven’t seen anything from Joe Kent where he did an obvious 180° like Bongino did with the Epstein matter, and then doubled down publicly by claiming to have been been on the up and up, like Bongino did on his podcast. In essence, Bongino beclowned himself with his conduct. Joe Kent may yet do something equally stupid that earns him rightful criticism, but so far I’ve not witnessed any such gaffes.
The MAGA BOTS are tarring him with allegations about his wife, who “writes for a pro-Hamas website” along with other jabs about him being a closet Democrat and “anti-Israel”. The elephant in the room is the VP. Vance and Tulsi were against the initial “bombing” of the “nuclear facilities”.
It would appear major cracks are appearing in the POTUS fan club. And when I read about the Golden Golem’s Dragon Lady Chief of Staff, and the “prayer sessions” with that demonic charlatan Paula White who masquerades as a “Christian Pastor”, I see this administration heading for the proverbial train wreck. I guess we will have to wait and see what the Midterms bring. That is, if this corrupt, syphilitic-thinking country can even last that long. Bleib ubrig.
Good riddance to a short sighed idiot. Iran has been working diligently for decades to acquire nuclear weapons. And for those decades they have been openly and blatantly telling the world that they were planning to destroy Israel, the US and the rest of Western society. Given time they eventually should have succeeded. So Trump has decided to do what is NECESSARY…to pull their teeth. Anyone who can’t understand this REALITY is an abject moron who should not be allowed out in public unsupervised.
Except they agreed in the negotiations to not make nuclear weapons. So Kent was correct.
Well if I were a Mullah in Iran–and if I saw just how the USA had surrounded my country with military bases (to the East in the Gulf), then I seriously be looking into canned-sunshine to protect my country. And if Israel was openly assassinating my scientists, political and military leaders–heck yeah, I get serious about obtaining canned-sunshine… no hesitation. And if I as a Mullah, looked upon Israel who was opening bombing and subjugating fellow Muslims to my West–heck yeah, not only would I seriously consider canned-sunshine, I’d develop as rapidly as possible a cost-effective ballistic missile program to strike back at Israel and any other country that attacks my land…. as we have just seen last year and two weeks ago. All of these conservative talking head shows repeat the same old tripe about how Iran made bombs to kill our soldiers in the sand-box wars. Well yeah–it’s because of ONE REASON… they were OVER THERE. It’s as simple as that. 20 years of sand-box wars and trillions of dollars spent with how many US live lost–for what? Now look at modern day Japan–they purchase oil from the middle east and from Iran in straight forward business transactions, without military bases in the region. Without carrier battle groups patrolling the Gulf. Without bombing or assassinating Iranian assets or people. Strictly cash and carry–and yet, there is no ‘terrorist’ activity against Japan… because they’ve learned to MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS.
Second verse same as the first.
Figure it out , all who voted for Trump the anti war candidate were duped. Joe Kent is absolutely correct. I guarantee with my life. I know what happened in the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, the intel from the politicals was staged , phony et al. The intel from the military intel is correct. Joe Kent was correct. How dare any of you, and Glen Beck, chickenhawks of the Trump admin, dare to criticize Joe Kent, you know nothing. I have given up on them all. Fake christians, fake conservatives , fake politicians.
How dare they say those things about a man who lost his wife, to their fake wars.
Just to give you all a perspective if you did not hear the interview with Bret Barr and John Thune. When Thune was asked about Joe Kent, he said, I listened to Rubio and Radcliffe. If you dont get it after that statement, you never will.
I DID NOT VOTE FOR RUBIO, he is a neocon chickenhawk. and apparently, the useful idiot in the whitehouse, believes him.
And Glen Beck, follow the money, you fool, you supported the war in Iraq in the same way, saying how bad Ron Paul was, and now you say Tulsi should be fired? I did not vote for you either, and you are worse than the ayatollahs when it comes to free speech.
Beck just tauted Data Republican for exposing the money to politicians. Look into how much Rubio is making via Niki Haley, and you idiots want him to be president. I will never vote for any GOP ever again, and I will not vote democrat either, LET IT BURN
