That's why he's doing this stupid thing.

The fact that Dumbass Chump has united both sides of the isle over this is heartening though. He's only made his impeachment more likely.

On the upside; His demise will come quicker and be so much sweeter.

This decision won't last. Everybody's PISSED at him, including those on his side. EVERYBODY in DC is gonna be on his butt like white on rice and even Lindsay "Trump Brownnose" Graham is thinking of getting together with Congress to pass sanctions.

Impeachment will be so easy and Pres. Pelosi can just send our troops back to Syria while sanctioning Turkey.

Hopefully this will be the turning point.

It's telling to me that some of Dotard's tweets are punctuated, and the spelling is adequate. And sometimes his tweets show a more advanced understanding of cause and effect than I'd think the dotard possesses. Sometimes I think he dictates his ramblings, while other times someone spruces up his tweets for him, and then sometimes it just plain feels like Miller time.Shel

When will the Repugnantcons and peoples of the USA say, "when the President does anything that we, in our great and unmatched wisdom consider to be off limits..."Shel

So Erdogan says "Get the fuck out of Syria!" and Trump hangs up and says to himself "Great Idea, cuz an authoritarian says so, like Daddy Putin!" and pulls the plug without checking with his somewhat more sane advisors.Maddow was a tad upset about this last night, asking "WTF will he do next, be afraid, be very afraid!" I am, Rachel, I am.

I'd bet a paycheck that as soon as Trump started to hear the blow-back from Republican Senators his spirit animal, Miller, just leaned in his ear and said softly "All this drama for a bunch of towel-heads? Fuck the Kurds!"

Occam's razor, the Trump family business interests in Turkey are the most obvious "lever" to look at. But I've also wondered if maybe Erdogan didn't end up with some really incriminating info after the Khashoggi investigation, like some evidence that Trump knew MBS had ordered the murder.

From your mouth to God's ear. W should have been the one to yank Turkey's chain and say "now you're going to let the Kurds form a state in northern Iraq."

So Trump tweeted how many troops we had in a specific war zone area. Just another example of Trump's stupidity and why he is so dangerous. Of course, he could have been joking and we actually had 5,000 troops there. At least that's what the Republicans in Congress want, that we not take anything Trump says as truthful since they may call it a joke if it causes problems.

The State Department's primary function right now is to protect Donald's fat fanny. Sad.

At least Jared and Ivanak are well positioned for the future.
