US Turkey agree to cease-fire in Syria.
Polosi was made to again to look like the clown she is.
The Democrat House and Democrat Media owes the American people an apology.
@CarpeDonktum
How long before a federal judge in Hawaii rules that Turkey cannot agree to a ceasefire with Syria and that endless wars and occupation must continue indefinitely?
Mulvaney confirms Ukraine aid withheld in part to force investigation of Democrats
And made up another irrational lie to cover trumps tracks....do they think the public is that stupid....I know the goat fucker, Lil Scotty, Rat and cramps are!!!!!!
Mulvaney did no such thing, Idiot.
It's just another moving of the goal post.
First it was the President requesting an investigation into Joe Biden that Democrats were attempting to prove was behind everything.
Now they are changing gears and pretending that the ongoing investigation (started by the IG reports) is a partisan attack against Democrats.
It's only an action against Democrats if they know that the actual PARTY did something wrong in regards to the whole Trump is a secret Russian agent hoax.
I think it's pretty damned clear Denny...
That many Obama Administration folks as well as Democrats in general are scared shitless of what "ACTUAL CRIMES" that the DOJ investigation into the 2016 Russia investigation hoax are going to to be found!
The US House has dropped she CIA Mole Black Bag Job and their 16 additional whistle blowers.
Trump release of the Coversation knee Capped them.
occupied — and being abused — by a man who is entirely unfit and is spinning dangerously out of control. Everyone needs to stop pretending otherwise.
And it’s all getting worse.
President Trump’s train wreck of a performance on Wednesday, at a meeting with congressional leaders, represented a new low on a scale that seems to have no bottom. “I pray for the president all the time . . . I think now, we have to pray for his health,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said later, because “this was a very serious meltdown on the part of the president.”
Trump began by complaining about having to attend a meeting initiated by his own White House aides, according to published accounts. The subject was Trump’s sudden decision to move U.S. military personnel in Syria aside, allowing Turkish troops and affiliated militias to sweep across the border and attack the Kurds, who had been loyal U.S. allies.
AD
ADVERTISING
The president then tried to make the case that he did not actually condone the Turkish invasion. Attendees were given copies of a truly bizarre and alarming letter Trump had sent to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Oct. 9. Just four short paragraphs long, the letter begins, “Let’s work out a good deal!” It ends by telling Erdogan, “History will look upon you favorably if you get this done the right and humane way. It will look upon you forever as the devil if good things don’t happen. Don’t be a tough guy. Don’t be a fool! I will call you later.”
That is how the president of the United States communicated with a powerful foreign leader at a moment of crisis. We have all witnessed more sophisticated attempts at persuasion on kindergarten playgrounds. Erdogan reportedly threw the letter in the trash.
During the White House meeting, Trump went on to denigrate Jim Mattis, the decorated and highly esteemed Marine Corps general who served as Trump’s defense secretary before resigning last year over Syria policy. Mattis is “the world’s most overrated general,” Trump announced, according to the New York Times. “You know why? He wasn’t tough enough. I captured ISIS. Mattis said it would take two years. I captured them in one month.”
AD
Anyone in touch with reality knows that none of this is true. The territory held by ISIS — the Islamic State — was reclaimed by Kurdish fighters with the aid and guidance of U.S. troops and intelligence operatives. Shortly before the meeting, the House voted 354 to 60 to condemn Trump’s abandonment of the Kurds, with most Republicans joining their Democratic colleagues in expressing outrage.
Perhaps that vote was what set Trump off. “You’re just a politician,” he told Pelosi. Then he amended his assessment: “You’re not a politician, you’re a third-rate politician.”
That’s what Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) heard; Pelosi thought she heard him say “third-grade politician.” In any event, she and House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) rose to their feet and walked out.
AD
They pressed Trump and his aides to explain what the plan was for fighting the Islamic State now that the Kurdish firewall is gone. They didn’t get an answer because there is no plan. The president doesn’t have the foggiest idea what he is doing.
Trump is in so far over his head that he doesn’t know which way is up. He also is intellectually, psychologically and morally unsuitable for the high office he holds. Those two problems — incompetence and unfitness — reinforce one another in the worst possible way, and have sent the presidency into a tailspin that puts the nation and the world in mounting peril.
Impeachment is no longer optional, given what we already know about Trump’s dealings with Ukraine. But the prospect of facing a Senate trial — for which Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is already making plans — can only boost Trump’s anxiety. His outbursts and tweetstorms are becoming more frequent and less tethered to the world of facts, events and consequences. Madness is a term laypeople use, not doctors. We must use it now.
"Document: Adam Schiff Staffer Met with Impeachment Witness on Ukraine Trip"
Oh lookie. This smells.
"Former U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine Kurt Volker on Wednesday reportedly told impeachment investigators that he was “never asked to do anything” wrong, including by President Donald Trump."
oh well.
What else did he tell them, LOL.
New York Times: “It was the first time a White House official [Mulvaney] has publicly acknowledged what a parade of current and former administration officials have told impeachment investigators on Capitol Hill.”
STEP ONE
Mulvaney Says Quid Pro Quo Was Not About Biden
October 17, 2019 at 1:46 pm EDT
“Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said Thursday that President Trump did not withhold military aid to Ukraine as part of a quid pro quo to get that country to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden,” CNBC reports.
“Instead, Mulvaney told reporters, that the withholding of aid this summer was due in part because Trump wanted Ukraine to investigate the possibility that elements in that country somehow had interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election to Trump’s detriment.”
STEP TWO
Schiff Says Mulvaney Made Things ‘Much, Much Worse’
October 17, 2019 at 3:30 pm EDT
When asked about acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney’s admission of a quid pro quo in withholding military aid from Ukraine, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) said the situation has “gone from very, very bad to much, much worse,” NBC News reports.
STEP THREE
Trump Legal Team Distances Itself from Mulvaney
October 17, 2019 at 3:39 pm EDT
President Trump’s external legal team is now trying to distance itself from acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney’s press briefing today, where he admitted a quid pro quo in delaying of military aid to Ukraine.
Said Jay Sekulow to CNN: “The legal team was not involved in the Acting Chief of Staff’s press briefing.”
"Nancy Palsy"
😊
STEP FOUR
Mulvaney Walks Back Admission of Quid Pro Quo
October 17, 2019 at 6:27 pm EDT
“Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney on Thursday revised remarks he made in a press briefing earlier in the day, now maintaining that there had been no quid pro quo between the hold the administration put on aid to Ukraine and Ukraine’s cooperation on an investigation into allegations surrounding a Democratic National Committee server in 2016,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
Said Mulvaney: “There was absolutely no quid pro quo between Ukrainian military aid and any investigation into the 2016 election.”
THIS ADMINISTRATION CAN'T GET ITS LIES STRAIGHT.
Romney Calls for Investigation Into Trump’s Syria Pullout
3:36 pm EDT
In a fiery speech on the Senate floor, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) called for Senate hearings into President Trump’s decision to withdrawal U.S. troops from Syria.
Said Romney: “So America is diminished, Russia, Iran and Assad are strengthened. And so I ask, how and why this decision was reached.”
He added :”Was there no chance for diplomacy? Are we so weak and so inept diplomatically that Turkey forced the hand of the United States of America? Turkey?”

Perry Tells Trump He’ll Resign
5:00 pm EDT
New York Times: “Rick Perry, the energy secretary who has drawn scrutiny for his role in the controversy surrounding President Trump’s efforts to push Ukraine officials to investigate the son of a political rival, on Thursday told the president he would resign from the cabinet.
“The Perry resignation had been anticipated for several weeks, even before the news emerged of his involvement in efforts to pressure the new president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, to investigate a company that had worked with Hunter Biden, the younger son of former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.”
'Our Republic Is Under Attack From the President’
5:12 pm EDT
William McRaven:
“If our promises are meaningless, how will our allies ever trust us? If we can’t have faith in our nation’s principles, why would the men and women of this nation join the military? And if they don’t join, who will protect us? If we are not the champions of the good and the right, then who will follow us? And if no one follows us — where will the world end up?
“President Trump seems to believe that these qualities are unimportant or show weakness. He is wrong. These are the virtues that have sustained this nation for the past 243 years. If we hope to continue to lead the world and inspire a new generation of young men and women to our cause, then we must embrace these values now more than ever.
“And if this president doesn’t understand their importance, if this president doesn’t demonstrate the leadership that America needs, both domestically and abroad, then it is time for a new person in the Oval Office — Republican, Democrat or independent — the sooner, the better. The fate of our Republic depends upon it.”

“All roads lead to Putin.”

MULVANEY:
I absolutely did not say what I absolutely said.
(I guess he learned that from his Führer Trump.)
King Trump vs Lyndsey Graham.
The golf-and-politics alliance between President Donald Trump and Sen. Lindsey Graham frayed Wednesday over Syria, with the South Carolina Republican threatening to become the White House's "worst nightmare" unless more is done to protect Kurdish fighters against Turkish attacks.
Trump, in turn, suggested Graham focus on his job leading the Senate Judiciary Committee and reminded him who's in a position to threaten whom.
"I am the "King," Trump said.
Exactly. What Graham may not have fully appreciated is the fact that the president effectively sees him as a "puppet".

Obama didn't withhold aid to get dirt on Trump during the war or afterwards.

@ChatByCC
The gop members of congress who voted with the democrats (364 to 60) by backing a resolution condemning President Trump’s withdrawal from Syria sure do look like fools today.
as do the deranged democrats
The Peace Treaty is a hoax.
The United States just made a deal with Turkey to give them everything they wanted and to withdraw all Kurdish forces from the Syrian border on their own land so that Turkey can take over that area and send millions of Syrian refugees there to displace the Kurds demographically.

@thebradfordfile
If you’re curious how the Democrats fake impeachment is going, they’ve gone from emoluments to Russian collusion to campaign finance to tax returns to Ukraine collusion and now back to emoluments. The inmates are running their Party.
Meanwhile, Trump keeps winning.
@Shem_Infinite
With the cease fire between Turkey and the Kurds, President Trump proved that we don't need to have American soldiers die in a foreign land in order to solve every problem. Peace through economic strength can be even more effective. Promises made, promises kept!
@themarketswork
"Barr was in Rome on an under-the-radar mission that was only planned a few days in advance."
"Barr and Durham were especially interested in what the Italian secret service knew about Joseph Mifsud."
VERY interesting
The crazy President dangerous to the world is the Coldheartedtruth.
He is unknowingly an isolationist aka America First.
The problem for Trump is not his willingness to listen to his neo-isolationist instincts. Rather it is that his desire to extricate America from the Middle East cuts against three other key goals of his regional policy: defeating ISIS, pressuring Iran and scrapping the nuclear deal it signed with the Obama administration, and maintaining strong support for the state of Israel. He couldn’t beat ISIS and seek to isolate Iran and bolster Israel against its enemies while withdrawing from the Middle East. He chose appearing to do the latter over doing the former, endangering the success of his pressure campaign against Iran and potentially giving ISIS the opening it needs to make a comeback in the process.
Victorian statesman Lord Palmerston was an open nationalist like Trump. His rule that nations have only permanent interests rather than permanent alliances is compatible with Trump’s “America First” credo. But if we’re judging whether it is in the interests of the United States to back certain friends over others, then it’s clear that the Kurds are every bit as useful to America today as the Brits and the Canadians, let alone the French, were in Normandy.
Seen in this light, the “Normandy Doctrine” is merely an excuse with which any friend of the United States — including the Kurds, who have, despite their small numbers and the danger they have faced, proven both faithful and useful to American regional interests — can be discarded on a whim. Far from an expression of nationalist self-interest, it is a pretext for withdrawal not so much from potential wars but from the policies that will do the most to prevent them. Much like Barack Obama’s ignominious retreats from Syria and Iraq, which Trump has correctly pegged as the primary reasons for the rise of ISIS, the president’s foolish decision to abandon the Kurds may set in motion a chain of events that will drag him or a successor back into war in the Middle East.

Former Defense secretary James Mattis responded to the President Trump calling him “the world’s most overrated general” during a meeting with congressional leaders, NBC News reports.
Said Mattis: “I’m not just an overrated general. I’m the greatest, the world’s most overrated”
He added: “I’m honored to be considered that by Donald Trump because he also called Meryl Streep an overrated actress. So I guess I’m the Meryl Streep of generals, and frankly that sounds pretty good to me And you do have to admit that between me and Meryl, at least we’ve had some victories.”

TRUMP SNATCHES DEFEAT FROM THE JAWS OF DEFEAT
Trump Caves Completely to Erdogan
10:18 pm EDT
“The cease-fire agreement reached with Turkey by Vice President Mike Pence amounts to a near-total victory for Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who gains territory, pays little in penalties and appears to have outmaneuvered President Trump,” the New York Times reports.
“The best that can be said for the agreement is that it may stop the killing in the Kurdish enclave in northern Syria. But the cost for Kurds, longtime American allies in the fight against the Islamic State, is severe: Even Pentagon officials were mystified about where tens of thousands of displaced Kurds would go, as they moved south from the Turkey-Syria border as required by the deal — if they agree to go at all.
“And the cost to American influence, while hard to quantify, could be frightfully high.”
Eli Lake:
Trump’s CAPITULATION TO ERDOGAN IS COMPLETE.
The retired US Navy Adm. William McRaven, a Navy SEAL who oversaw the raid that took out al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in 2011, gave a bleak assessment of President Donald Trump and alleged the commander in chief was gutting the country of the "nation's principles."
In his fiercest condemnation of the president yet, McRaven recounted in a New York Times opinion column, titled "Our Republic Is Under Attack From the President," a military ceremony he recently attended at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where he reflected upon the thousands of US service members who marched on the parade field before him.
"For everyone who ever served in uniform, or in the intelligence community, for those diplomats who voice the nation's principles, for the first responders, for the tellers of truth and the millions of American citizens who were raised believing in American values — you would have seen your reflection in the faces of those we honored last week," McRaven wrote.
But "beneath the outward sense of hope and duty," McRaven wrote that "there was an underlying current of frustration, humiliation, anger and fear."
But because he was in charge of the attack that killed Bin Laden, under President Obama, he should be investigated for conspiracy against Trump!
In Thecoldheartedtruth world, Obama should be deadhead in the Rose Garden!

so you fully supported this man’s racism and bigotry, you had no problem with his language of ethnic cleansing against immigrants, his vilifying of the press, his embrace of strong men. But now, darn it, he cost for Kurds, longtime American allies in the fight against the Islamic State. Because the fake news is reporting the bad news is traitorous!

i can't think of one. the fact is that the turks and kurds have hated each other for time immemorial. and we owe it to exactly no one to get in the middle of a shitshow so old that no one alive today even remembers what started it all.
your bloodlust for the death and dismemberment of more US troops to satiate your TDS is disgusting and reprehensible. especially coming from a vietnam draft dodger like yourself.
those wishing to escape the shitshow can, as erdogan described, flood into europe. let merkel and the rest of the fine feckless leaders of europe absorb those seeking asylum. why, the millions they've allowed in so far have been such cultural assimilation success i'm sure that a few hundred thousand more will only sweeten the multi-culti pot.

Elizabeth Warren tells voters economy not working for them – Most voters disagree
With three polls showing her in the lead, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., may soon eclipse former Vice President Joe Biden as the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. That's great news for Republicans, because Warren has a problem: The central message of her campaign is that the economy is working for the very wealthy but it is not working for ordinary Americans. Unfortunately for her, ordinary Americans disagree.
A Marist poll asked voters whether "the economy is working well for you personally." Nearly two-thirds of Americans said yes. This includes large majorities in almost every demographic group.
Sixty-seven percent of college graduates and 64 percent of those without a college education say the economy is working for them. So do 68 percent of whites and 61 percent of nonwhite people.
Probably the most significant poll that has been published for awhile. Because no incumbent president in the history of America has ever failed to be re-elected when 68% of the electorate says the economy is working for them.
When the rubber meets the road voters vote their pocketbook. No matter how much faux outrage the leftest media manufactures.

The Islamic State is racing to capitalize on the deteriorating security situation in northern Syria, stepping up attacks on prisons as well as on the now-weakened Kurdish militia that served as the vanguard in the U.S.-led war against the group’s self-proclaimed caliphate, intelligence officials and terrorism experts say.
Despite Thursday’s announced cease-fire, Turkey’s week-old incursion into northeast Syria is already proving to be a propaganda windfall for the extremist group, which in recent months had been making faltering attempts at a comeback in parts of eastern Syria controlled by the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, the analysts said.
The Islamic State’s official media arm taunted the SDF on Thursday, calling it an abandoned American ally and warning that further attacks were coming.
Our great dealmaker screws the pooch again with the non cease fire cease fire.....this asshole is a danger to humanity!!!!!! And the slurpers will continue to swallow in the glory of an old fat white mans ass!!!!!
