I’d give it a week til the media reshuffles it’s cards and deals out the next hand in “Operation Destroy Trump”. Of course with the IG report due out Friday it might be a little harder than usual for them to control the narrative.

The only “mistake” President Trump made here was keeping any U.S. military personnel in Syria more than 48 hours after he was inaugurated.

The money is good.

Losing subscribers may seem bad until you realize these corrupt media outlets are subsidized through foreign aid kick backs from countries that hate us.

How much of that 1.4 billion to Iran flowed back to Democrats? Not “if” but “how much”?

...and every other country we send money to.

We needed to get out of a no-win situation. We eliminated ISIS. Mission accomplished.

Some people think we should be the world’s policeman. That’s not our job.

No matter what Democrats and their GOP quislings would like us to believe.

In the short term, Putin and Erdogan are going to milk the transition for all it’s worth. In the long term, Trump will be proven right :)!

“Doom, despair and agony on me”
The NYT really wants Trump to change his mind on this.
We all know why.

Every time you see “Two sources familiar” or “Two anonymous sources” or “Two anything” IT IS A LIE.

Two is secret to pulling off the old collaboration trick.

One isn’t enough. Three is unlikely. ...but Two is the sweet spot.

This is the new narrative, and we have the fake videos from Kentucky to prove it.

Yes, that is a prime example of just how pathetic our “news” media has become. There are only two reasons ABC aired footage of a gun range show in Kentucky as Turkey bombing Syria. They were handed the footage by CIA goons and told it was exclusive footage -or- ABC dug it up off the internet by googling for “explosions”. There is no good explanation.

Is there anyone here that thinks any Slimes report having to do with President Trump would be an honest unbiased assessment? Didn’t think so.

Lastly, I’m fed up with the endless characterization of the Kurds as our allies. They are not our ALLIES. They are our PAID mercenaries fighting a Proxy War for us and were paid very well for doing so. Period.

Their mission was to with our guidance eliminate ISIS in the area. That mission has been accomplished. The Caliphate is no more. Is every ISIS Jihadist dead? No. But, the elimination of every last ISIS Jihadist was not the mission.

Would Congress like to declare war?


They sure seem radio silent, on that.

Read to the end, and this cheap bitch Singermann lifts the can off his garbage lid...

"But the common argument that U.S. troops could have produced different Iraqi political outcomes is hogwash.

The Iraqi sectarian divides, which ISIS exploited, run deep and were not susceptible to permanent remedy by our troops at their height, let alone by 5,000 trainers under Iraqi restraints.”

Mr. Trump may now be left to make the same argument about Syria: That nothing could have stopped Mr. Erdogan, that the Russians would benefit in any case, that there are other ways to push back at Iran. Perhaps history will side with him.

You know that Trump did the right thing if the liberal don’t like it.

There is no confusion. Any America-first policy, pro-Constitution policy, pro-family policy is negative from the establishment’s point of view. All you need to remember is that they hate us, and all their fake news and editorializing will reflect the same, always.

We should draft all New York Times writers and send them to Syria since they want to get involved so badly.

Not our problem. No more endless war!
