Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announces he is “especially proud” of passage for his amendments requiring the U.S. military to continue operations in Afghanistan and Syria:
What a back-stabbing POS.
He’s on Fox News right now, stabbing him in the back.
WHAT MISSION!!!? Our Southern border is wide open and we send our military to the world’s sh*tholes which are NOT our problem anymore. What a fidiot!
Agree. This guy swings with whomever is in the majority. Loser.
The Turtle strikes.
We don’t need a robot party like the Dems. As was noted by a few commentators of Fox last night, healthy debate is a good thing and it still lives in the GOP unlike the lockstep insanity in the CPUSA.
As to the topic, I agree with POTUS in that we can’t afford to police the world.However, if we don’t want any more 9-11’s, we have to maintain some intel capability/forward presence so we can be prepared and respond appropriately, in our own safety and national interests. I think many in the senate are aware of this concern, as are the military leaders who will have to engage the future threats.
Some personalities, POTUS included, are better at communicating this than others. The MSM will take every opportunity to make healthy debate something to criticize the president with. Some comments by some FReepers here only serve to help this MSM goal.
I think the message from Trump is that he’s not hardheaded on Syria/Afghanistan but money and blood spent there had better be well justified.
Yes, he is a liar and backstabber. But just remember all the rest of the pathetic GOP senators who keep putting him in charge. I include my two senators, Barrasso and Enzi from Wyoming. Neither of them deserve to represent anyone. They are just two GOPes. But Wyoming people, just like the rest of the country are stupid and keep putting them back in.
