    The problem is he is bending over, just not backwards.

    Trump bungles again.

    Trump is supposedly ten steps ahead of everyone.

    Inside Trump’s Botched Attempt to Hire Trey Gowdy

    excerpt:

    "But within 30 minutes of that statement’s going public, Mr. Gowdy alerted Mr. Trump’s lawyers to a problem. His law firm, Nelson Mullins, had concerns that his work would involve lobbying activity. There was a discussion about whether Nelson Mullins could still be used, but a Trump adviser said that decision had been put off until January, when Mr. Gowdy’s lobbying ban concludes.

    “Trey Gowdy is a terrific guy,” Mr. Trump told reporters on Thursday, on his way to a campaign rally in Minneapolis, breaking the news himself. “He can’t start for another couple of months because of lobbying rules and regulations. So you’ll have to ask about that.”

    In the meantime, Mr. Trump’s team is searching, again, for help. Without Mr. Gowdy, who lost his paid contributorship at Fox News after the announcement, and with another of Mr. Trump’s lawyers, Rudolph W. Giuliani, sidelined from appearing on television for the moment as he is drawn increasingly into the Ukraine matter at the heart of the impeachment inquiry, the president’s team remains outgunned in the fight for public opinion.

    Even Mr. Trump — who for the most part has been operating as a one-man war room, setting the tone of grievance from the top — appears confused about which of his staff members is in charge."

    Painfully obvious with this issue. Not one of you can bring yourself to say one positive comment about the guy for a troop pullout


    And yet it did just happen. Erdogan certainly isnt going to be sure he has complete control of those militias who are already popping up on youtube executing the enemy, and the potential for that to escalate

    See, there you go, there is your inner right winger coming out. They are only allies if they do what the US tells them to do ;)

    I give you Kudos for attempting to defend the indefensible conduct of a corrupt government official

  8. There are countries that understand the US has become a nation of cowards. We're terrified of a real war...a war with the likes of Russia or China. We're comfortable and lazy and fear keeps us in this role. The ologarchies of the world are free to engage where they choose. There is no good guy on the block.

    They are only allies if they work with us and our other allies rather than against us. Turkey has been an unreliable ally. Erdogan’s statements about the US and its allies combined with words of solidarity with Iran and Russia, show that Turkey can no longer reasonably considered an ally accept in a nominal, technical sense. With Turkey's purchase of two batteries of the Russian S-400 air defense system, Erdogan has moved away from its NATO partners. His pursuit of an Islamist educational policy and repressive measures toward dissidents is also moving away from the democratic values espoused by NATO members--not that Trump and his fans would care abut that.

    How so? Your man in the White House gave him the green light. But wait and see. As the slaughter of our Kurdish allies continues, we'll see if Mnuchin lowers the boom with those devastating economic sanctions. I'm not holding my breath.

    1) Trump could be speaking with both, as is common in complex criminal conspiracies.
    2) Trump needs constant guidance and reassurance, because deep down he is insecure.
    3) We'll know more after we get is financial records from Mazars … and all his tax returns … and the Deutsche Bank files which include the names of his loan cosigners.

    It could be that the U.S. can have a completely corrupt, evil, greedy, power mad ignoramus in the White House for another four years without lasting damage. I seriously doubt it. We're goin' down, and we might even take Australia with us!

    Hitler did have a Jewish family

    and in his case a better comparison is does he have Muslims in his family? What about Mexicans?
