Folks are simply giving in to a new form of hysteria. Media has fabricated the Kushner vs. Bannon fight. The Bannon threats to “quit,” the “Kushner is a cuck” stuff, the claim that Bannon was removed from the NSC, even though he’s still on the NSC (he removed himself from a subgroup whose meetings he wasn’t even attending anyway), all part of a media campaign to create a false division.
In point of fact, the media has been pushing these stories for a few months now, even though they were immediately contradicted by Trump’s actual statements and actions thereafter. No one remembers because people are short sighted and stupid in general.
Same thing with the Syria handwringing. It was one airfield in a third world dump. Honestly, who cares if Trump had bombed the whole place apart? But the fact of the matter is he didn’t. By striking one little airfield, Trump destroys the Russian puppet narrative, with Russia shouting and making threats but ultimately doing nothing—just as planned. Meanwhile, Rex barking about removing Assad, but then saying that that would have to happen “after ISIS is destroyed and the country stabilized.” What does that mean? What do you think it means?
Think, children, think!
People are stupid and are focusing on short term thinking and hysteria. You must expand and see things from a big picture and long term perspective.
I have said almost nothing about the “Kushner vs. Bannon fight” here on FreeRepublic. I generally don’t comment very much on those kinds of stories that are presented by the media with no evidence to support them. I really don’t care whether Kushner and Bannon get along. I’ve had serious concerns about Kushner ever since his name was put out there as a potential “senior advisor” (at the ripe old age of 36) to President-Elect Trump back in November-December 2016.
Exactly
Divide and conquer....the nevertrumpers and leftists trying to drive wedges between Trump ‘factions’
What’s amazing is the number of neo-jerk jerkoffs on twitter that grab these sh!t covered batons and do the left’s work for them.
I agree the media is pitching the angle of a west wing civil war
But also it’s troubling knowing the publicly known views of Jared and Legs
I could care less family is in the administration
And Syria
You better than most posters know what a tar pit it is
I’ll also voice what many here have freep mailed me
I smells like the Balkans again
And we’re helping those of whom many oppose us and kill Christians with impunity because we’re righting a perceived wrong committed by the heavier hand in the conflict
Our foreign policy when invoking Christians and others always seems to take the tack of aiding the side who’s killing and often brutalizing Christians when it suits us
Two nights ago we basically aided ISIS
I’m emotionally in favor of punishing Assad for using WMDs
But man did it ever open the NeoCon door with Kushner and Queeg and Vekvet Slippers crowing with glee
Tillerson who is no fool back again now saying removal of Assad could be a goal again is just more Bushism
Russia wants the bases etc
Israel wants Hezbollah occupied against ISIS etc so they can’t hit them
And the West but hopefully not Trump as usual wants nation building
We’ve already taken in millions of Syrian young men in the West who looked more like economic scaredy cats than true refugees
When does this end
Every time someone butchers civilians?
That’s sure not a standard we’ve always lived to since hell the Seven Years War
But we always rationalize when we do
What a cluster but I guess if it stops him reaching for them again .....
Can anyone answer what Assad hoped to accomplish with the Chem drop
