A War Trump Won

NYT ^ | 17 Dec 2017 | Ross Douthat

But this is also a press failure, a case where the media is not adequately reporting an important success because it does not fit into the narrative of Trumpian disaster in which our journalistic entities are all invested.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The left never gives Trump credit for anything positive...

[mandaladon]

But if you had told me in late 2016 that almost a year into the Trump era the caliphate would be all-but-beaten without something far worse happening in the Middle East, I would have been surprised and gratified. So very provisionally, credit belongs where it’s due — to our soldiers and diplomats, yes, but to our president as well.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This from the NYT???

But, Trump touched my cucu!

[Cicero]

Well, not surprising when you remember that Obama fought the war on the wrong side, backed by the lamestream media and all the foreign policy “experts.”

Trump fought the war on the right side, or simply stood by while the right guys won.

Yes, I do drink soy, why do you ask..?

[farming pharmer]

Thanks for the excerpt. I won't give the center of the leftard homofascist universe NYT the pleasure of my mouse click.

That being said, great things can be accomplished when Americans no longer have a Muslim butt-buddy in the White House.

[lee martell]

That very first sentence is not well written, and is difficult to follow on first reading. It happens to every writer, when you want to say several things at one time.

“Why haven’t we noticed this success?”

I’ve been noticing it all along. Then, again, I don’t have my head up my ass like asshat does...

[Spok]

Wasn’t it the NYT that declared the entire Obama regime to have been scandal free? What does the left consider to be Trump’s scandals? Seriously?

[atc23]

Tired of all the Winning yet? Me neither.

This and Gregg Jarrett’s piece regarding Mueller’s illegal acts regarding the transition docs. . .

Christmas is here a little early this year.

Granny Xlinton and the Obama’s have been rather quiet lately - I wonder what’s wrong?

LMAO

[kiryandil]

the Islamic State, whose expansion was the defining foreign policy calamity of Barack Obama’s second term, whose executions of Americans made the U.S.A. look impotent

That's why The Brown Clown was always wearing a suit.

"If he was gonna be impotent, he was gonna look impotent..."

[Pollster1]

That’s a bunch of Covfefe; no one believes it (or cares).

[Celerity]

That’s right, New York slimes... now eat your shorts.

Maybe ISIS is the jv team.

Maybe their defeat wasn’t that hard. I don’t recall any real struggle here either.

MAYBE the real reason ISIS is defeated is because there is no more support for them coming from the White House !

Obama created ISIS. And they say that ISIS changed after the initial formation, but they didn’t change at all. They had the same charter ever since day 1.

Our ex president, traitor-in-chief supported them right up till january 2017.

We didn’t hear about their defeat, nor much at all about them because ISIS IS THE LEFT. The media, the dems, our ex-wastoid president.. all of them are supporters of ISIS.

[nickcarraway]

ISIS was always going to expand and that at a certain point retract and go away. That was the nature of its existence.

[Behind the Blue Wall]

If Obama in his first year had had unprecedented economic growth and a major military victory, the media would have already had the Mt. Rushmore plans underway.

[Flavious_Maximus]

A member and high priest of the degenerate Homosexual Times lecturing us about Trumps fire hose of misinformation and lies while they themselves print on a daily basis misinformation and out-right lies.

Whats good for the goose, etc.
