The Assad regime, now in its forty-seventh year, has sworn to crush the rebels, no matter how numerous they are; since 2011, at least four hundred thousand Syrians have died, and roughly half of all Syrians have fled their homes. As the war began, President Obama refused all but the most token support for the rebels battling Assad, fearing a quagmire. Iran, Russia, and Hezbollah rushed into the vacuum and saved Assad. During the 2016 Presidential campaign, Donald Trump criticized Obama’s Syria policy, but since becoming President he has more or less continued it.
There’s hardly been a peep out the Trump White House. The “deëscalation zone” was inaction disguised as action; indeed, for all of President Trump’s criticism of his predecessor, he has made it absolutely clear that he intends to stay out of Syria, even at the price of allowing Putin to make him look like a pathetic weakling.

Yes Jim! I knew Alex Jones is an insane, paranoid, lying, right-wing, arsehole,
That video clip certainly helps to reinforce my opinion.

If there is even ONE actual, factual thing that Trump has done as president that is not a disaster, or a self-serving gift to rich people and corporations, then put it on the page, right here.
NOTHING.
I don't espouse retribution for Trump supporters after Trump is exposed, impeached, indicted and convicted. But, I can imagine that a turbo-charged version of Karma is currently idling, and is ready for the throttle to open.
Lou Dobbs and Sean Hannity should consider relocating to North Korea, which they apparently think is a great place because Trump drools over Kim Jong-Un as if he were a cheeseburger.
I wanna see an army-man parade with trucks and guns and sounds.

Power Crux jokes about Trumps' tweets but the information that is easiest to interpret is that closest to the source. The Trump tweet feed is difficult to read because I can't keep up with whatever media he is watching.
The White House press room is best. Everything they say is then massively distored by the media.
Fortunately, I can understand Trump. He speaks an odd dialect that is very alarming if you can only see a left wing viewpoint. Maybe because I was raised in Idaho. Or perhaps that plus living in Los Angeles for 4 decades, it seems clear to me. Things are not as bad as it seems.
I would certainly prefer a better president but none are in sight.
Keep in mind that from now on, only celebrities are qualified to run for president of the United States.
I am seriously considering a movement to draft Taylor Swift. She is very bad-azz and takes no shat from anyone. Don't care if she is left or right. I think it would be very interesting for Millenials to run things now before they get old and wise like my generation.

I have this thing on my computer called CNN. You can click and watch unedited video of Sarah Sanders, the White House Press Secretary, performing her reality-is-not-reality act. It's raw video, as if you were right there, in person, experiencing it. Whatever distortion you believe to be taking place will only be within your own mind.
It's pathetic and alarming to watch what the White House puts out as official statements.
An entire generation of children are going to be squealing, "But, the President did it".

For Fritz, aka Erdogan fanboi, the latest numbas on Turkey:
Inflation - 16%
Unemployment - 10% (yeah, right)
Current-acount balance -6% of GDP
interest rates - 21%!
Currency - 6 / $ A year ago - 3.5 / $
NONE of these numbas have anything to do with Trump.

Rilly?
What about Trump's doubling import tariffs on Turkish steel?
Oh . . . . right. Trump's increase in tariffs only affects the Turkish Lira, and not those other numbas.
Trump is so cool.
HOW COOL IS HE?
He fixed global warming, all by himself.
Trump is so great.
HOW GREAT IS HE?
He made America great, all by himself.
Trump is so truthful.
HOW TRUTHFUL IS HE?
He created truth, all by himself.
I don't have any video to back up this story, but it's true:
I stopped in front of a house with a TRUMP banner in the front yard. I got out with my camera to take a picture, and a woman watering her weeds stopped what she was doing to look at me. I asked if it was OK for me to take a picture. She hesitated before saying, "I guess so".
In all fairness, California's dry regions don't have gardens. People here have weeds that are lovingly cared for, because you can't talk to rocks.
I put rubbery urethane on a different woman's gloves, so she could care for her loved ones - cacti - without getting stabbed by irritating needles.
The next time I see her, I'll take a picture of those gloves smeared with skateboard wheel resin, and prove that I, too, can create reality out of thin air.

Try reading something other than The Daily Worker. Those numbers are the result of Erdogan’s abject ignorance of both economics and common sense which many of you can relate to. Your collective abysmal reading comprehension also leads to calling me a Trump fanboi, not surprising in view of y’all’s simplistic black and white reductionist thinking. I would post a link to this week’s The Economist editorial on Erdogan’s economic ignorance but it would be a waste of pixels.

trumpkins have taught me that probably my whole life America was not great
The trajectory of history comprises the rise and fall of great societies.
America's displacement from the top is upon us, and Trump is not helping things. He's hastening America's weakening (e.g., music by The Weakened).

Privatizing the war in Afginstan, turning all* of it over to ,(*The ol'Red Poppy Trade!)
that stand up citzen , brother of the secratary of education,(Eric Prince)
was most suspiciously, evasive, actually cliaming,
that it was just by coincidence,
to have been in the Seychelle Islands
at the same place & time as russians, bag men . . .

Blackwater
That guy, Erik Prince, is Ditzy Davos' brother. Both inherited a vast fortune, and both are non-attuned to the day-to-day reality of 300+ million Americans. Ditzy Davos is now the Secretary of Education, and is forceful in her efforts to ensure that predatory and fraudulent private schools are allowed to operate without regulation and profit from Federal funds.
Erik Prince, who established the for-profit mercenary military company Blackwater, now wants to privatize the war in Afghanistan with a corporate mercenary force. He wants taxpayers to put that money directly into his already full pocket, because he says that he has a plan that even Alexander the Great couldn't envision.

#MAGGOT
Robert Mueller is on the case. Eric Prince met with Kremlin officials at the remote Seychelles islands in the Indian Sea (purely by chance, Prince says) to pervert and disrupt the American election process.

Welcome, to 1934 Germany.
Blackwater has changed its name several times, in an effort to continue operations when the company has been banned. The latest incarnation is called "Acedemi".
