SuperSpreader Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 2 hours ago, SaysWho? said: But... how can he do more damage than "all recent presidents" if ISIS is an even newer problem for us? I didn't think anybody was even fighting ISIS until this decade and that Al-Qaeda and the Taliban were our main adversaries in the 2000s when Bush was in office. Like, Trump says Obama created ISIS. So he's done more damage than all recent presidents... even though he's claiming his predecessor created the group. So he's done more damage than one according to him... right? Bush and the GOP warmongering including Hillary Clinton are responsible for ISIS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 A Trump Call That Went Rogue Hands Erdogan a Surprise Win on Syria (Bloomberg) Donald Trump was supposed to tell his Turkish counterpart to stop testing his patience with military threats in Syria. That is, if the American president stuck to the script. Instead, during a lengthy phone call earlier this month, Trump shocked even those in his inner circle by yielding to a suggestion from Recep Tayyip Erdogan to reverse the Pentagon’s Syrian strategy, handing the Turkish president his biggest diplomatic victory ever.

I mean really, I'll take any reason. Starting January 3, impeachment theoretically becomes "easier" with the Democratic-controlled House. It's the trial and conviction (which requires a 2/3 majority) in the Republican Senate that will be impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not seriously holding my breath or anything, but you do kind of have to wonder what the possibility space becomes once Speaker Nancy cuts the Kooky Kaukus out of the decision-making process. Trump going full ouroboros on the wall, running attack ads against fellow Republicans, is kind of teeing up an easy exit strategy for Yertle McTurtle.

Maybe McGurk is a sleepy eyed son of a bitch. Because who the fuck knows what "sleepy eyed" is actually supposed to mean, but anything becomes an insult with "son of a bitch" tacked on.
