President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

This might be the YF-iest post of all time.

 

And now Joe is in a back-and-forth with Trump.

 

al-Baghdadi is dead. Mosul is about to be liberated. Raqqa is next.

 

Land mass down 60%. Revenue down 80%. al-Baghdadi dead. Mosul about to fall. Raqqa encircled by U.S. backed fighters.

 

"The return of al-Nuri Mosque and al-Hadba minaret to the fold of the nation marks the end of the Daesh state of falsehood," Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said in a statement, referring to the hardline Sunni Mulsim group by an Arabic acronym.

The fall of Mosul would in effect mark the end of the Iraqi half of the IS caliphate, although the group still controls territory west and south of the city, ruling over hundreds of thousands of people.

Its stronghold in Syria, Raqqa, is also close to falling.

A U.S.-backed Kurdish-led coalition besieging Raqqa on Thursday fully encircled it after closing the militants' last way out from the south, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said.

These setbacks have reduced Islamic State's territory by 60 percent from its peak two years ago and its revenue by 80 percent, to just $16 million a month, said IHS Markit.

"Their fictitious state has fallen," an Iraqi military spokesman, Brigadier General Yahya Rasool, told state TV.

 

If there is an argument that ISIS is doing better now than it was before January, I'm open to hearing it.

Why don't you try to make it?

 

Supporting Trump is a dead giveaway.

 

Trump isn't anti-immigration.

 

Setting up smallpotatoes for a punchline is like sitting on the toilet an hour and only squeezing out a pebble. Not worth the effort.

 

If Trump's early A.M. shitter tweets read like that he'd be taking a lot less heat about them.

 

Ok, guys, mark the date. YF has declared the defeat of ISIS.
