oh hey, we attacked Assad forces in Syria. I'm sure it's unrelated.

That's really the big issue with his presidency.
The attack apparently happened in connection with a threat to US-backed rebel groups in Southern Syria that, as a condition for the support, are expressly fighting IS. A mix of Syrian army forces and Hezbollah, as well as apparently members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, were about to attack positions of these rebels in order to consolidate areas.

It was reasonable for the US to step in and make clear that it will protect what it considers allies (speaking here in terms of, US Central Command must make a decision that is in line with official policy. The nature of the support, just as the nature of the entire Syrian conflict, is a different story that fills books), but given the situation that the US are in with the current President, every step, even if its coherent by itself, will inevitably called into question and it's impossible to deny there's good reason to.
Trust in the administration's actions has been completely eroded.

That is an absolutely shocking cover. Fell at the first hurdle by implying Saint Basil's Cathedral is the equivalent of the fucking White House. :doh:

The cover must be self-explanatory and its intention be grasped immediately in order to be most effective, so in that light it's legitimate to use what every modestly educated person connects with the seat of the Russian president without thinking. And that is definitely the basilica.

Trumps absolutely finished, he's also incredibly stupid he's actually admitting guilt at every turn. Looks like he'll go down quicker than most of us expected. What a story this is, it'll make some movie one day (if we don't all die in a nuclear fire first).
 
We keep thinking he's finished, but he's not. The GOP will not impeach him. That would show that they made a mistake electing him from their party.
 
Fox News is really amazing. They're talking about how Comey not wanting to be hugged by Trump indicates that he's a big snowflake and will freak out over every little goddamn thing and maybe Trump is right, he really is a nut job.

The things you learn when you write from home on a Friday.
 
Every time someone in this thread says Trump is done, I think of this tweet: IMG_6910.JPG
 
Aaaaaaand apparently Jared is now under criminal investigation.

Lock them up. All of them.

Aren't ya glad we dodged a bullet by not electing "crooked Hillary"? Whew. Yep.

...what :huh:?

(Seriously, given how utterly and pathetically thin-skinned and easily offended Trump is, the right really, REALLY needs to put a sock in it with this "sensitive snowflake" bullshit already.)
 
Ivanka-Trump-and-Roman-Abramovics-wife-Dasha-Zhukova.jpg


Ivanka & Dasha Zhukova, wife of Roman Abramovich. They're tight. They send their kids to preschool together. They vacation together.

It's not like a secret either. There are plenty of tabloid pictures from pre campaign Trump showing them together.

Which is why it's absolutely absurd for Trump to deny Russian connections. His daughter and son and law are best friends with the wife of the guy who fucking recommend Putin to Yeltsin.

And hey, in and of itself this means nothing. There's so much Russian money flowing through this country you can connect anyone. But why deny it? That's what I always come.back to... Why fucking deny something that's so obvious?

So Fox viewers are now upset that two men aren't tightly embracing?
 
Another Flynn story on CNN, he was in Russias pocket basically. It's all just slotting into place for collusion now. Wow.
As an aside, what happens to US /Russia relations when this is all out and the next(clean) administration is in. It really will be a new cold war then.
 
I kinda want to hear his speech to the Muslim world. Written by the guy who banned muslims
