DEAR GAWD! TRUMP REALLY SAID THAT!




"President Trump on Wednesday criticized the Kurds, saying they didn't help the United States during World War II and that they were only fighting for their land in Syria during the battle against ISIS. 

“The Kurds are fighting for their land,” Trump told reporters at the White House during an event in the Roosevelt Room. “And as somebody wrote in a very, very powerful article today, they didn’t help us in the second World War, they didn’t help us with Normandy as an example. They mentioned names of different battles. But they’re there to help us with their land and that’s a different thing.” --Morgan Chalfant


To be fair, though, the Kurds didn't help us in the Revolutionary War either!




But this is serious:


“ 'I have a little conflict of interest ’cause I have a major, major building in Istanbul,' Trump boasted in response. 'It’s a tremendously successful job. It’s called Trump Towers — two towers, instead of one, not the usual one; it’s two. And I’ve gotten to know Turkey very well. They’re amazing people, they’re incredible people. They have a strong leader.'


 He said then that the situation was 'complicated,' adding, 'I thrive on complicated.' Trump did not reveal what he would do in the region if he were to become commander in chief. Trump still profits from Trump Towers in Istanbul, and the 'strong leader' then was the same as now: President Recep Tayyip Erdogan."

What he did to the Kurds and how that benefitted Erdogan STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN. Trump is a known liar, cheat, and con man. I have no doubt that he made some sort of deal with Erdogan involving his Trump Tower and not interfering with Erdogan's invasion into the Kurdish territory today.

Trump has no honor, no scruples, and nothing approaching human decency.

This is my blog and my opinion. Someday we may discover why Trump made this decision without consulting the Pentagon or his foreign policy advisors.

As I said: What he did today STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN.

Sadly... I can't see the "Seen in Las Vegas" part of the post.

Now, onto the meat of the matter. I hope to God Japan, Germany or Italy don't need our help anytime soon. Cause those folks weren't there for us either. They better be working quick on their Plan B if this passes for our foreign policy.

At least it looks like Russia and Putin are safe...

At what point will it be too much for the partisans?

Dave The video disappeared from my blog. Anyway, Greenpeace hung a huuuuuuge banner from a Trump tower in Las Vegas that said "TRUMP IS RESPONSIBLE FOR KILLING THE KURDS".

Support for impeaching Trump is building by the day. The dead-ender hold-outs on the usual far right blogs will never see him for what he is. As I've said many times, they are irredeemable. And at this point it doesn't matter if they turn on him or not. Enough Americans are sick of this chaos and incompetence.

Possumlady That is perfect for him. Why didn't I think of that?

Shaw... I saw the video/picture. It was a fake photo, much like this presidency.

The Left is trying SO HARD to do ALL they can to hurt, embarrass, humiliate, shame, cripple and GET RID OF TRUMP. It’s SO obvious you’d think even some Democrats would wake up to this. Now some are saying Trump’s going to be hit with 26 new sexual allegations. WHERE DO THEY GET THIS STUFF? I’ve been saying for MONTHS that there are hundreds of liberals getting paid to DIG, DIG, DIG….DIRT ON TRUMP is the assignment.

SK Excuse me for breaking into your delusion, Anon, but it is TRUMP himself who's hurting, embarrassing, humiliating, shaming, and crippling himself. Just yesterday, he betrayed our ally, the Kurds, who've fought alongside our military to contain ISIS. The Democrats didn't do that.

Anon: "Now some are saying Trump’s going to be hit with 26 new sexual allegations. WHERE DO THEY GET THIS STUFF?"

SK: Um, probably from the women Trump assaulted. Start there.

SK: Thats' what happens when you attach yourself to a cult leader. You can't believe anything that exposes him as a fraud can be correct. Also, it happens when you mix hard liquor with opioids. Get help.

BREAKING NEWS:

"Prosecutors say Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman were part of a conspiracy to funnel a Russian donor’s money into U.S. elections

WASHINGTON—Two Soviet-born donors to a pro- Trump fundraising committee who helped Rudy Giuliani’s efforts to investigate Democrat Joe Biden were arrested late Wednesday on criminal charges of violating campaign finance rules.

Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, two Florida businessmen, have been under investigation by the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan, and are expected to appear in federal court in Virginia later on Thursday, the people said. Both men were born in former Soviet republics.

Mr. Giuliani, President Trump’s private lawyer, identified the two men in May as his clients. Both men have donated to Republican campaigns including Mr. Trump’s, and in May 2018 gave $325,000 to the primary pro-Trump super PAC, America First Action, through an LLC called Global Energy Producers, according to Federal Election Commission records.

The men were charged with four counts, including conspiracy, falsification of records and lying to the FEC about their political donations, according to the indictment that outlines a conspiracy to funnel a Russian donor’s money into U.S. elections.

The group concealed their work by laundering foreign money into U.S. elections by disguising the true origin of the money, the indictment says.

Beginning in about March of 2018, Mr. Parnas and Mr. Frurman began attending fundraising events and making substantial contributions “with the purpose of enhancing their influence in political circles and gaining access to politicians,” prosecutors wrote.

The indictment Thursday alleges that Mr. Fruman intentionally misspelled his name as to further evade FEC scrutiny. Fundraising records show that an “Igor Furman” who otherwise matches Mr. Fruman made additional campaign donations totaling almost $400,000, beginning in March 2018. That would bring the pair’s contributions to about $1 million.

John Dowd, who headed Mr. Trump’s legal team until spring 2018 and is a lawyer for the two men, didn’t respond to a request for comment."


As long as Trump is in the WH, corruption will continue. He's a corrupt, conman lying cheat.
