Can't see how he can handle this level of criticism and pressure. Speaker Pelosi sent him to his room, no ice cream for you young man. You can tell that she raised five children, and the president, well not sure what he raised exactly. Doesn't strike me as a hands-on father.

Jingthing Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I gave that a laugh, and when I read it I did fall about laughing, but the truth is it is not at all funny. Trump has written down the grounds for him to be found not fit for office and then he signed it. Why with evidence like this anyone needs to resort to calling Trump names, or making joke misspellings of his name is a mystery. The evidence is before our eyes, he’s an incompetent idiot, a very dangerous incompetent idiot. But he's surrounded himself with sycophants making that impossible via article 25.

Opl Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) The United States is now bombing its own base in Syria as Turkish forces prepare to take it over "Here’s how The Wall Street Journal described it: Our military, quote, carried out air strikes to destroy the Syrian headquarters of the American campaign to destroy ISIS after rapidly pulling Americans from the base.’ We bombed our own headquarters in the fight against ISIS because they were about to be taken over by Turkish backed forces" https://www.politicususa.com/2019/10/16/trump-bombing-america-base-syria-turkey-takes-over.html ""I captured ISIS. Mattis said it would take two years. I captured them in one month. President Trump on Wednesday called his former Defense secretary James Mattis "the world's most overrated general" during a tense meeting with lawmakers on the situation in Syria." "You know why? He wasn’t tough enough," "Donald Trump has hailed his decision to withdraw US troops in Syria, paving way for a Turkish offensive, as “strategically brilliant”, declaring that the Kurds he had abandoned were “much safer now” and were anyway “not angels”. The Turkish campaign against Kurdish fighters has strengthened Moscow’s hand in the region and signalled the diminishinginfluence of the US.

The video, in which the man says, "Let's see how the Americans lived," was posted on social media from the empty base near Manbij, in Aleppo province about 15 miles from the Turkish border.

US now says thanks for the help but your on your own now. Bye. so now all isis is released and US is in more danger. And all because of 50 US troups that were holding it together. You do realise that returning 50 troops has started a genocide against a US ally that fights on behalf if at the same time 3000 extra troops are sent to Saudi. please tell me how that helps US citizens.

"You don't want to be responsible for . . . " Intelligent people don't like to be told what their wants are. You'd think someone would figure that out by the time they're 70 years old. "I know it, and YOU know it" -- he's been using that one a lot lately when talking to the press. Tell me what else I know, chief. The Turks are not put off by having blood on their hands, and are quite proud of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massacres_in_Turkey Maybe a little more history reading and less television, Donny. Standing before arenas full of adoring fans who don't know a socialist from a social worker have accelerated his brain decay. He may have a new problem: his own party invoking the 25th Amendment Childish name calling of domestic political opponents is one thing, toadying up to foreign strongmen and stunts like this is quite another. You know the country is in bad shape when suddenly John Bolton is the wise man. But they would have to move fast before Pence himself gets tossed out. Imagine that, dueling impeachments!

Popular Post wayned Posted October 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2019 Let's see, 1. Trump called Erdogan and told him that he was removing the US forces from Northern Syria near the Turkish Border. 2. Erdogan invades Northern Turkey killing Kurdish forces and civilians. 3. Trump sends Pompeo and Pence to Turkey to negotiate a ceasefire, and they announce that they have successfully negotiated a 120 hour ceasefire to give time for the Kurds to evacuate the area. If they do it will be a permanent ceasefire. 5 Trump claims a victory that only he could have pulled off. 6. The Turkish Foreign Minister says that it is not a ceasefire it's only a 120 period where the Kurds and their families could vacate the over 4000 square mile area that the US administration effectively gave to Turkey. So, Trump created the problem and now he is claiming victory for "solving" it. Where is Assad, the Russians and Iranians? How can Trump give land belonging to Syria and protected by the Russians and Iranians to Turkey without their involvement in any "talks". In addition, the 4000+ square miles is home for the Kurds and does he expect them to desert their homes and move out in 5 days. It's just another of Trump's cooked up fiascos in an attempt to make him look good by "solving" it. If the Kurds don't up and run then it's their problem since he negotiated a solution. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ironic that the American president ran on MAGA and projecting strength and to fight the world laughing at the U.S. and the result has been the exact opposite. So Erdogan of course is going to ignore any noise from 45. (Especially in the Middle East, the translation of MAGA is MRGA. R for Russia.) "For Russia, Trump’s presidency is a gift that keeps on giving. The Kremlin’s propagandists see no acceptable alternative among any viable presidential candidates in 2020." “We should send a message to the American president: ‘Don’t call people names. Don’t fight. Don’t pick your nose. It’s nasty and unacceptable.’” Host Evgeny Popov said that the Turkish president threw Trump’s letter in the trash and remarked: “But who wouldn’t? The only thing missing was for Trump to call Erdoğan ‘dude.’” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayned Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Now he is leaving 200 special forces troops in Syria to protect the oil fields when He wouldn't leave troops in Syria to protect our allies, the Kurds. Just the mere presence of the troops kept Turkey from attacking them. Turkey would never knowingly kill an American solder! And know Lidseu Graham has jumped back on his wagon stating that this was a good move and that money can be made from protecting the oil wells.
