President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

He's going to burn it all down.

Note to Republicans: Trump will betray you just like he betrayed the Kurds

 

No, she will: this is a convenient way for her to bail out, play the victim, and avoid getting ass-stomped off the stage by the other candidates, particularly Kamala Harris, who I suspect will be quite helpful in pointing out the Orange syrup dripping off her lips and recounting her romantic trip to Trump Tower on Nov. 21, 2016 to slurp his toadstool and beg for a position in his cabinet. She needs to be fucking terminated from the Democratic Party and thrown off the stage ass first.

It's time for the Kamala-Liz tag team to line up and plant the boots in her ass.

 

Rick Wilson take some folks to the woodshed. Pretty good tweet string.

 

I'm thinking today about all the horrible shit that we already know. Can you imagine what we don't know?

 

You mean Former Chairman of the House Rules Committee Pete Sessions.

 

In 100 million ways, they do. As it relates to military policy, he's odd, too - in the fact that he doesn't do what hawks want.

One would think Democrats would be cool with that. Strange bedfellows, as it were, on principle.

They're not, though. Now, the hawkish soldier's opinion is useful to them.

 

Any country is free to swoop to the Kurds' rescue. They probably won't, of course, which is no reflection on them. Just the US.

I'm kind of an non-interventionist. Are you more situational?

 

I don't imagine it's as much as we think. I really don't. The Trump administration is the leakiest organization in the history of presidents, the man belches everything he thinks on Twitter as it is, and our intelligence/state agencies want to remove him from the presidency by any means. Could there be something? Sure. But the CIA, FBI and state department do not want the man there. They're looking for that something, and if they find it, we'll know about it. Just like we did with Ukraine.

 

Alma, it's not a question of intervening or not. US troops are still in Syria. A portion of them were relocated so as to allow Erdogan's offensive against the Kurds. This was done by Trump with consultation with no one but Erdogan. It places US forces there in more jeopardy, not less by introducing yet another crossfire in a multi-sided conflict.

 

Courage.

 

A statement by the Secretary of Defense he wanted to attribute to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for (something or other, who knows?)

And I suspect our NATO allies responded to his call for solidarity with a hearty "go fuck yourself."
