Only a willful Trump cultiest refuses to connect the corruption dots:

The Republicans' idiot president said the Saudis are paying for our troops. 

Our military are now mercenaries for Trump to rent out to any of the countries he has financial interests in. What do you think about Trump renting our troops to the Saudi’s? How much is the rent?

This is what the Republicans' president did to our military in Syria:


U.S. forces say Turkey was deliberately ‘bracketing’ American troops with artillery fire in Syria



Do you have relatives in the military? I do. This alone should be enough to kick his traitorous ass out of office. He put our military in harm's way. I want to know why he did this.



Wm.Kristol: "Who wanted Trump to withdraw U.S. troops and abandon the Kurds? Not the Defense or the State Department. Not the foreign policy establishment or the American people. Not Republicans or Democrats. Who wanted Trump to abandon the Kurds and withdraw U.S. troops? Erdogan. And Putin."

I've always been proud of my country. Even during prior times when I felt the policies of the government and president where misguided. I remained a proud American who loves his country.

DJT has changed that for me. Because he has chipped away at our founding principles, turned American values on their head, created extreme division, undermined our institutions of government and the integrity of the legitimate media, and so much more. For that I can no longer be proud of my country.

When the un-American jackass is gone from office and his GOP with its trumpism is destroyed I will again be proud.

Until then Impeach and Remove. Or even better... Crush the filthy scum in a landslide in 2020. THEN we can ALL be proud again.

MAGA! Trounce Trump 2020!!

When the caskets of American military personnel come home, it's usually in the big freight planes, and it is a sobering sight when you see the caskets being offloaded. Everybody working the plane gets a kind of look on their faces. As you watch, you get the idea that...the atmosphere changes...and things just got really serious.

In the near future, we will have the hideous spectacle of a man who does not care intruding into one of the most painful things military families experience, and it will be evident, to all who witness it, that he does not care, that what he is doing is only for photographs, (for bragging purposes), and then he will be gone. Later, we will hear that his was the most (fill in the falsehoods here) Ever.

If you have voted for this man to be President, I dearly hope that you will not recieve notification that your military loved one has given their life in service to our country, because you must realize, at some level, that you, yourself, carry a large part of the blame, and are complicit for having elected a man who regarded the life of your loved one as nothing...Excuse me, let me correct myself- Donald Trump consideres the life of your loved military person as Less Than Nothing.


Less Than Nothing.


He will laugh and joke about it as he flies away.

The taste of ashes in your mouth, and the pain in the heart will not fade away so easily; and you must realize: You have aided and helped this man to kill your loved one.

Think about that...

This is a heinous crime. Trump should be in prison for this betrayal of our national security & allies. It's a disgraceful blow to our national security that will haunt us for decades. "Turkey Is Blowing the Hell Out of It & the Russians Are Cheering

Remember... "smarter than" his generals.

For some reason I can't help thinking about Mussolini. I wonder why that is.

Dave Miller said...

Any you guys remember folks sayin' Pres Obama disgraced the military and America was not respected around the world? You know who I'm talking about. Extremist bloggers, GOP Senators and Congressmen... folks like that.

Where are they now?

As American soldiers are retreating from a battlefield fearing for their lives while the Green Berets feel ashamed and the Kurds betrayed.

Where are folks like Geez, Silverfiddle, Skud, Kid, AOW, -FJ, Freethinke, Boco, Mustang and the rest of that crew now?

Nowhere to be seen commenting on Pres Trump's ill-advised withdrawal from the border between Syria and Turkey.

They said Obama was a modern day Neville Chamberlain for not doing more to confront Russia over their incursion into Ukraine. Well their sanctions against Ukraine lifting president has shown himself to be far worse.

And now we have, of course crickets!

Again...

A very stable genius indeed.

Dave, I've checked the far right bloggers and not one of them have covered this story. Not a one. And, let's face it, that's because they haven't the courage to do so. What Trump did to the Kurds and what he has done in that region is horrendous, stupid, and devastating to our military.

Not one of those bloggers or commenters has the courage to speak to this betrayal of our allies, the Kurds. Their silence speaks volumes about their hypocrisy and cowardice. They have no credibility on anything until they address this, but they won't. They're cowards and probably ashamed of their support for Trump.

I used to admire Silverfiddle for his intelligence and ability to cut through b.s. It appears that he's been sucked up into the tribalism he often criticizes.

They're all sticking with Trump and his corruption and lawlessness.

Les Carpenter said...

Silverfiddle is in a class of h iij s own. A trumper who has retained a bit of sanity. I've seen him challenge Franco (FreeThinke) and he's not always in lockstep with the loonies.

From David Ignatius of the WAPO...

And before the anons and other partisans start the WAPO is a Commie rag stuff, Ignatius is widely respected across all parties and ideologies.

"It’s a dagger to the heart to walk away from people who shed blood for us,” one former top CIA official who attended the black-tie dinner told me later. A retired four-star general who was there said the same thing: Trump’s retreat was an “unsound, morally indefensible act” and a “disgrace” to America and the soldiers who serve this country.

All they have to answer is this... why are our soldiers retreating in disgrace?

Shaw Kenawe said...

RN, I always thought he was an independent thinker, but his allegiance to Trump shows me he really isn't. You, however, definitely are. You've held onto your conservative values but did not trade them in for membership in the Trump fan club. One can be a real conservative without selling one's soul to Trump.

Dave I hope I never surrender my values in service to worshipping a politician. Those folks have. Their supposed Christian values, among which was the idea that a politician should be moral in order to show moral leadership, was thrown out the window as soon as they accepted Trump making a mockery of common decency while pretending to care about the common man. They all know in their hearts that he's an indecent human being, but they cannot face their own weakness in supporting him. What a pathetic shame. This was a test, IMO, of their sincerely held beliefs, and they failed miserably.

So Ms Shaw, why don't the democrats or republicans come up with a sane candidate. None of the Democrat candidates are going to work for the the majority American people and trump is off his meds and over the edge. Now the serial liar is leading in the polls and trump needs to resign but that won't happen. You don't have enough time to allow for an impeachment to take place and I don't know who I fear most, Warren or Trump. Neither of them should hold the office. Maybe the Massachusetts Morman will decide to run, he could win because if he says Russia is a threat no one will mock him for being out of touch.

It is time for a true Progressive to lead our nation. We all need to get out and vote and give her a Democratic House and Senate. Then President Elizabeth Warren will be able to do good things for ALL Americans! Including prosecuting, convicting and imprisoning the traitor Dotard. Despite the precedent of (republican) presidents getting away with crimes, this time we CAN NOT let that happen. NO PARDONS. Dotard MUST be held accountable for his crimes!
