I remember before Obama was president when the Democrats were all about pulling out of all of these places and getting out of all of the illegal wars.

He even got a Nobel prize for the rhetoric himself, before getting us into more wars.

He sure put some kind of spell over you... or something. I dunno.

Fucking pod people.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

I recall Obama promising to close Guantanamo, where the prisoners are kept from Bush's War on Terrorism. But he could NOT because of Republicans in both Congress and the Pentagon. As an alternative, Obama could have followed Trump's playbook with the Kurds in Syria. Obama could have withdrawn all the troops from Gitmo, bombed the prisoners in their cells, then invited the Cubans to invade Gitmo. That would have worked exactly like what Trump is doing to the Kurds. (But come to think of it, that might have gotten Obama impeached if he did what Trump is doing. No -- make that Obama would be impeached, guaranteed. But Trump? The rules don't apply to him. Ask ANY Republican Senator, except Mitt Romney.)

Why Obama Has Failed to Close Guantánamo
Congress is blamed for preventing the President from fulfilling his pledge. But that’s not the whole story.

Did Trump betray the Kurds for Trump Towers in Istanbul?

Following a phone call between Trump and Turkey’s president, we are suddenly pulling back U.S. troops to make way for Turkey’s planned invasion to clear the Kurds out of the border zone in Syria.

It makes you wonder what exactly was said during that phone conversation. Trump has a lucrative property in Istanbul, one he’s acknowledged could affect his decision-making.

“I have a little conflict of interest ’cause I have a major, major building in Istanbul,” Trump told Breitbart radio during his campaign. “It’s a tremendously successful job. It’s called Trump Towers — two towers, instead of one, not the usual one, it’s two.”

Are we now allowing Turkey to come in and massacre the Kurds, because of his business interests?

We don’t know, and that’s the point. We even can’t trust our own president to put America’s interests first.

Signym, if you are gonna post the same thing twice, I'm gonna post the same thing twice. Do you wanna go for three? But there are a whole lot of other questionable decisions Trump has made, but assuming Trump made them for money answers the questions.

And then he doubles down on crazy, ignoring the fact that Trump has promised for YEARS to get our troops out of endless Mideast wars.

In response to the impeachment launch, Trump has, at turns, defended his request that a foreign leader investigate a political rival; denied dangling U.S. aid for political favors; blamed his Energy secretary for initiating the call; and accused Speaker Nancy Pelosi of committing treason.

Then he says that Trump's request to a foreign leader to investigate corruption was improper (it wasn't), that Trump dangled U.S. aid for political favors (he didn't); and that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is NOT conspiring with the CIA (which BTW should not even be active on USA soil) and with the M$M, and not changing the House rules to undemocratically freeze out the minority in order to depose a properly-elected President.

"President Trump and his Administration reject your baseless, unconstitutional efforts to overturn the democratic process. Your unprecedented actions have left the President with no choice. In order to fulfill his duties to the American people, the Constitution, the Executive Branch, and all future occupants of the Office of the Presidency, President Trump and his Administration cannot participate in your partisan and unconstitutional inquiry under these circumstances.

Your inquiry is constitutionally invalid and a violation of due process.

In the history of our Nation, the House of Representatives has never attempted to launch an impeachment inquiry against the President without a majority of the House taking political accountability for that decision by voting to authorize such a dramatic constitutional step."
