BTW, other garbage beast Rand Paul is all high-fivey about a Syrian pull out. Promise Made, Promise Kept ! He proclaims.

FWIW - There is something seriously wrong with the water in Kentucky based solely on who they elect to represent them*.

*Elaine Chao, Mrs. Turtle and NHTSA appointee, has had more meeting to address Kentucky's needs, desires, and whims then any other state, double I think, so inside baseball might be a sticky thing for swamp thing Moscow Mitch.

I think he'd be basically right. The point is he's given Turkey free reign to secure border area with Syria at the expense of the Kurds. The rest is just bluster to fend off any blowback.

I will say he's been pretty consistent. He likes just ceding power to whoever is strongest figure around. Who's the President of the Kurds? Not anyone he can shake hands with or talk shit about on twitter. Erdogan, is certainly that guy, though. Not news that Trump's not a fan of history or complexity. I'm sure he just sees it as getting the inevitable over with as quickly as possible and having people he can deal with one on one, a situation that in his "great and unmatched wisdom" he believes he can always come out on top.

I was confused as well, but tweets should not require research into WeverTF BlueCheckBrigade is. If that is about political leanings, then inappropriate needs an upgrade to illegal.

Who wants to tell Lindsey where Obama was on 9/11?

@LindseyGrahamSC
The Obama-libertarian foreign policy does not make America safe.

If ignoring radical Islam made America safe, there would NOT have been a 9/11.

that's just to get an anti-obama tweet on his timeline after the one criticizing orange baby because with his attention span and lack of intellect he'll forget all about the first one

That is just assuring the Trump Train that all is good in the Lindsay Graham hood. Obama is the root of all evil, and he caused 9/11. Flexifacts are all the rage of the all about the base party of the crazy.

The White House announcement upended military and State Department plans to deter a Turkish offensive with a system of safe zones and joint patrols that were getting underway. And it bucked views by top officials that the Turks’ threat of an incursion against the Kurds was a bluff, according to current and former defense officials and people familiar with the U.S. government’s efforts to forestall a new Turkish military operation.


So Don did it himself, without any discussion with anyone except Erdoğan.

Apparently last week the US Defense Secretary spoke with Turkish Defense Minister where they agreed to that system of patrols and safe zones as the smartest approach.

Probably just had to threaten his hotels in Turkey. I'm sure that call was a doozy.

Heard Terry Gross interviewing David Byrne. Apparently the first time he voted he showed up and filled out a ballot. He was not registered. Voter Fraud is real!

A majority of Virginia voters support gun control and would prefer to see Democrats in control of both houses of the state legislature, according to a new poll from Christopher Newport University’s Judy Ford Wason Center of Public Policy.

Some 53% of voters surveyed said they want Democrats to hold majorities in the two chambers of the General Assembly, compared with 37% who said they want Republicans to maintain control of both.


Well that is something. https://wamu.org/story/19/10/07/virgini ... oll-finds/

Turkey has apparently started bombing the Semelka Border Crossing on the Syria-Iraq border. That was fast.

It popped out sometime in the last two days that Gordon Sondland should have had no role whatsoever in anything Ukraine. Aside from giving lots of money to campaigns, Gordon Sondland is the United States Ambassador to the European Union, and the Ukraine is somewhere else.

Sen. Rob Portman (R, OH) with an actual what Trump did was wrong stance.

“The president should not have raised the Biden issue on that call, period. It’s not appropriate for a president to engage a foreign government in an investigation of a political opponent.”

I think that we all knew that Trump was going to do something truly fucked up to try to distract us all from his impeachment hearings. Not sure anybody saw this coming, though.
