@MarkWayneMulli1 one of your previous constituents here. So now “undercover” ICE agents are arresting people? What happened to arresting “the worst of the worst”? You are shameful! My car will be covered with “Ice out” and Fu*k Ice” every time a person is killed! No morals.
BREAKING: Trump's top counterterrorism official RESIGNS in protest because he “cannot in good conscience” support the illegal war with Iran — and exposes the White House's lies on the way out.
This kind of courage is rare in MAGA world...
"After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today," Joe Kent, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, wrote in a letter to the president. "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 war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."
Kent is an Army Ranger combat veteran and a former CIA paramilitary officer who lost his wife to a suicide bombing in Syria. Unlike most Trump officials, he had actual experience in his appointed field. His departure is a massive black eye for the administration.
"I support the values and the foreign policies that you campaigned on in 2016, 2020, 2024, which you enacted in your first term," Kent continued. "Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation."
"In your first administration, you understood better than any modern President how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never-ending wars. You demonstrated this by killing Qasam Solamani and by defeating ISIS," wrote Kent.
"Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran," he went on. "This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again."
"As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives," he contonued.
"I pray that you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran, and who we are doing it for. The time for bold action is now. You can reverse course and chart a new path for our nation, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos. You hold the cards," wrote Kent.
"It was an honor to serve in your administration and to serve our great nation," he concluded.
This is what every single Trump official should be doing right now. The Iran War is blatantly illegal, serves Israel's interests not those of the United States, and constitutes the wholesale slaughter of men, women, and children. Remaining in the Trump administration at this point is signing on to be party to horrific war crimes. History is watching and future prosecutions must be pursued.
Please ❤️ and share to call for more Trump officials to resign!
@PamphletsY Kristi Noam is a ucking liar. Alex was killed, disarmed by an agent before he was shot 10 times in the back. Alex was doing what any nurse would have done - helping someone who was shoved to the ground after sprayed.He was holding a phone. He was a legal gun holder with a permit.
