Too funny. He tweets ‘he’s cancelled his trip to Florida’ and ‘he’s busy signing bills’... but he’s posing at his desk, pen in hand, with a blank piece of paper that’s supposed to be a bill.
HahahahHahahahhahaha

Well other than attributing a pejorative term because you’re not on their team, I agree they shouldn’t listen to it either.Halifax2TheMax said:
You should tweet to Team Trump Treason to “just ignore the noise,” as he’s the largest consumer of it.EdsonNascimento said:
Yes. Exactly. Who pays attention to Ann coulter? Only the left and her sycophants. Most others don’t. And I haven’t read a single Trump tweet (though that’s not honestly true bc the media can’t help themselves so it’s inescapable. If they just ignored it the vast majority of people wouldn’t even know and regardless don’t care). Just ignore the noise. All the noise.Halifax2TheMax said:
“Stop reacting to media noise?” You mean like Team Trump Treason and Rushbo and Coulter? Laughable.EdsonNascimento said:
You know what the prison reform was related to right?Halifax2TheMax said:
Prison reform because Team Trump Treason, Jared Dear Boy, Donny Jr. and Ivanka will soon be beneficiaries.EdsonNascimento said:Prison reform that the right has agreed with. Troop pull outs that the left is now coming out against.
This is all all very amusing to watch. One things for sure. Trump is highlighting the my team your team mentality on both sides, and the politicizing of everything, but also how similar we are once we put our dogma down.
Kavanaugh has already voted against stuff the left presumed he wouldn’t. Roberts is being praised. Funny how non-legislating justices work, maybe RBG should take a page out of their books.
Theres a lot being exposed in DC on both sides with this unconventional Presidency. Don’t let it pass you by and elect more political hacks. Maybe unconventional is what we needed. Does it really matter if he did a porn star before he was President (or, based on Kennedy and Clinton even if he was minus the porn part) or his wife is a model (can you imagine what press would have been if Melania wore thigh high boots?).
Does it matter he did putin on the ritz? Yup.
What, exactly, has been exposed on the left side?
Have you donated to the gofundme wall yet?
Stop worrying about Russia.
And I don’t want a literal wall, so no. That’s stupid. But, yes we should address immigration meaningfully and not with false equivalencies of things that happened 200 or 2000 years ago. Stop reacting to media noise and debate the issues.

What about crimes before he became president?EdsonNascimento said:
No. If there’s legitimacy, then let’s hear it. I’m ok with that. Just like Clinton’s impeachment. Checks and balances. If he’s done something during his Precidency that needs to be prosecuted, do so.dignin said:

What constitutes immigration funding? Either way, that isn't what's being debated. The question is why is Trump pulling back so hastily without any apparent exit strategy and no support for our Kurdish allies. Help me out and explain the strategy because no one has yet to my knowledge.EdsonNascimento said:

He had a phone call from Erdogan - he was given talking points by his cabinet members to follow in the call. Erdogan said to pull out your troops because we are going to make a move on the Kurds (who Erdogan considers a terrorist group although they are not).dignin said:

https://news.vice.com/en_us/article/7xyayy/military-experts-say-trumps-sudden-syria-withdrawal-could-create-isis-20?utm_source=reddit.com
Trump was supposed to say No. We will not pull out our troops and do not make a military move on the Kurds.
Instead, Trump said Okay and wants to pull out our Marines and allow Erdogan to finally ethically cleanse the Kurds (our allies who were the people who actually fought Isis in hand to hand combat as we provided air cover and intelligence. We promised to be allied and to protect the Kurds who are responsible for being essential in reducing the amount of land that Isis controlled.
So Trump ignored his Secretary of State & other advisors - ignored his talking points and said okey dokey when Erdogan told him what to do. He is a puppet to all the strong men. Pulling out our special forces and leaving an ally to be slaughtered is unthinkable. America can no longer be trusted as a reliable ally. Not saying that we should be involved in all these areas, but this is a mission that has actually worked and since we went there and made a promise, a 'great' country would not abandon its promise to protect people who have done the dirty work of killing Isis scum.
France has already said that they will keep their troops there and the reaction around the world was one of shock. This is not something a 'great' country does.
And after cowtowing to Erdogan and saying some BS about how Russia, Iran and Syria are made that we are leaving - Putin has his year end authoritarian 'press' conference and says that 'Donald' did the right thing. But then Putin later says that Afghanistan is a place that the US should not be and lo and behold, Trump announces plans to remove our troops.
There is no way that a person can support what Trump is doing - he is flailing and disregarding any advice from advisors and not even speak to our allies or to Congress or the military. Even discussing this as if Trump is enacting a foreign policy is ridiculous. This is not normal - this is insanity and someone needs to stand up against the dangerous actions that Trump is doing with no knowledge of what the hell the circumstances or consequences are. The man doesn't have his daily briefings because they are boring - they cut into his 'executive time' of laying in bed watching the news and tweeting.
Seriously - to speak about Trump as if there is a method to his madness is missing the fact that this is all madness.0 -

https://apple.news/AgLNzEDLgSrOeptC5RB-NOg“If you say who gets fired it always has to be the top,” Trump responded. “Problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top. And the president’s the leader. He’s got to get everyone in a room and he’s gotta lead. But he doesn’t do that,” Trump added, referring to Obama.
“And that’s why you have this horrible situation going on in Washington. It’s a very, very bad thing and it’s very embarrassing worldwide.”

Instead, Trump said Okay and wants to pull out our Marines and allow Erdogan to finally ethically cleanse the Kurds (our allies who were the people who actually fought Isis in hand to hand combat as we provided air cover and intelligence. We promised to be allied and to protect the Kurds who are responsible for being essential in reducing the amount of land that Isis controlled.
So Trump ignored his Secretary of State & other advisors - ignored his talking points and said okey dokey when Erdogan told him what to do. He is a puppet to all the strong men. Pulling out our special forces and leaving an ally to be slaughtered is unthinkable. America can no longer be trusted as a reliable ally. Not saying that we should be involved in all these areas, but this is a mission that has actually worked and since we went there and made a promise, a 'great' country would not abandon its promise to protect people who have done the dirty work of killing Isis scum.
France has already said that they will keep their troops there and the reaction around the world was one of shock. This is not something a 'great' country does.
And after cowtowing to Erdogan and saying some BS about how Russia, Iran and Syria are made that we are leaving - Putin has his year end authoritarian 'press' conference and says that 'Donald' did the right thing. But then Putin later says that Afghanistan is a place that the US should not be and lo and behold, Trump announces plans to remove our troops.
There is no way that a person can support what Trump is doing - he is flailing and disregarding any advice from advisors and not even speak to our allies or to Congress or the military. Even discussing this as if Trump is enacting a foreign policy is ridiculous. This is not normal - this is insanity and someone needs to stand up against the dangerous actions that Trump is doing with no knowledge of what the hell the circumstances or consequences are. The man doesn't have his daily briefings because they are boring - they cut into his 'executive time' of laying in bed watching the news and tweeting.
Seriously - to speak about Trump as if there is a method to his madness is missing the fact that this is all madness.

Lol. So Trump got France to grow balls? If nothing else, he accomplished that. Finally France didn’t run like a bunch of Italians ( note: not referring to Italian Americans. Just Italy itself that generally caves like a paper tent at the direction of a stern voice)njnancy said:
He had a phone call from Erdogan - he was given talking points by his cabinet members to follow in the call. Erdogan said to pull out your troops because we are going to make a move on the Kurds (who Erdogan considers a terrorist group although they are not).dignin said:
Ummm, sure.mcgruff10 said:One of few tweets I do agree with. When he took office people thought world war 3 was right around the corner, yet he is ending American involvement in Syria, reducing troops in Afghanistan and while in the past , did meet with North Korea.
MILITARY EXPERTS SAY TRUMP’S SUDDEN SYRIA WITHDRAWAL COULD CREATE “ISIS 2.0”
