Trump: "If you look at some of the Kurds...that's a natural enemy of Turkey." He decries the US injecting itself into "tribal wars" and "revolutions."

President Donald Trump called Vikings QB Kirk Cousins to congratulate him after yesterday's win in New York. The two briefly discussed Trump's upcoming campaign rally Thursday in Minneapolis, but Cousins will not be attending.


Is he running out of people to talk to?

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


So how does this benefit Russia?

Wouldn't having Kirk Cousins there cost him supporters?

"President Trump was definitely out-negotiated and only endorsed the troop withdraw to make it look like we are getting something—but we are not getting something," the National Security Council source told Newsweek. "The U.S. national security has entered a state of increased danger for decades to come because the president has no spine and that's the bottom line."


Holy Shirt!

@joniernst

A big win for Iowa and farmers across our nation on ethanol today!

Thanks to @realDonaldTrump for following through on your promises once again!


Joni Ernst is playing the game claiming she is an outsider. She's gotta be down with Government subsidized ethanol between the constituents, and the tariffs, even if it is provably dumb. She also gets some Trump love going both ways, giving her some insulation on her non-answer over the weekend.

I said that Maddon signing with LAA was the least surprising news ever, I think that has to be revised to MLB news, because clearly this has to be the least surprising news: "State ordered Sondland not to testify before House"

So is the trade war with China still bad or is it good now?

Sondland flew in from Belgium to testify today. The committee came back from recess.

State Department has told him not to testify, which seems illegal!

Exactly what promise is it that Trump followed through on? His EPA just exempted 31 refineries from ethanol obligations in August. Looks like Monica Lewinsky is going to have to get in line. Ernst is just another in a long line of GOP scumbags.

Trump thinks the F-35's are made out of steel frames built in Turkey. Seems stealthy.

@realDonaldTrump
I would love to send Ambassador Sondland, a really good man and great American, to testify, but unfortunately he would be testifying before a totally compromised kangaroo court, where Republican’s rights have been taken away, and true facts are not allowed out for the public....
9:23 AM · Oct 8, 2019·Twitter for iPhone

@realDonaldTrump
....to see. Importantly, Ambassador Sondland’s tweet, which few report, stated, “I believe you are incorrect about President Trump’s intentions. The President has been crystal clear: no quid pro quo’s of any kind.” That says it ALL!

He understands that there are Republicans on that kangaroo court, yeah? Also, yet another "Oh, I'd love to but..." situation.

If only there were things like contempt and obstruction defined as legal concepts or a venerated document as the foundation of the nation explaining the authorities of branches of government that could help bring clarity to this situation. Too bad these things do not exits.

Trump sent no birthday obeisance to Putin, and the Kremlin is displeased. This has got to be a threat, right?

"By the end of the day, I saw no congratulatory messages from Trump and Zalensky" observes Putin's person

Stalin had people shot for less.
"I'm in a bar with the games sound turned off and that Cespedes home run still sounded like inevitability."

These people chiding Schiff and the media about deceiving the American public is like getting called out by Satan for sinning.
