Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria. Area of atrocity is in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible to outside world. President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price...— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 8, 2018
I have been wondering if there was anything that could happen that would cause Trump to pull his lips off Putin's ass and use them to criticize him.....to pay. Open area immediately for medical help and verification. Another humanitarian disaster for no reason whatsoever. SICK!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 8, 2018
Courtesy of the New York Times:
Dozens of Syrians choked to death after a suspected chemical attack struck the rebel-held suburb of Douma, east of Damascus, and aid groups on Sunday blamed President Bashar al-Assad’s government for the assault.
The attack after dusk on Saturday sent a stream of patients with burning eyes and breathing problems to clinics, medical and rescue groups said. Western governments expressed alarm at the attack, with the British Foreign Office calling for an urgent investigation and saying that if the use of chemical weapons proved to be true, “it is further proof of Assad’s brutality.”
I guess this is to be expected once Trump announced that he was removing American troops.
Assad now has carte blanche to punish his people any way that he sees fit, and Putin will not do a thing to stop him.
Of course Trump could not be counted on to stay on the high road.
Yeah, you have to get those digs in on your political enemies.If President Obama had crossed his stated Red Line In The Sand, the Syrian disaster would have ended long ago! Animal Assad would have been history!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 8, 2018
It should be pointed out that President Obama TRIED to end Assad's attacks on his people, but he made the unfortunate choice of trusting Vlad:
The so-called “red line” episode in September 2013, when, in a last-minute decision, President Barack Obama called off U.S. air strikes in Syria,1 has continued to shape his legacy. Instead of striking the Syrian government in retaliation for a nerve gas attack near Damascus, Obama took Russian President Vladimir Putin up on an offer to peacefully dismantle the Syrian chemical weapons program and craft a United Nations resolution2 to make sure no gas attacks ever occurred in Syria again.
Alternately described as one of the former president’s greatest successes or as one of his worst failures, what remains of Obama’s red line deal is now under attack. After a UN-appointed panel determined that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s forces are still using poison gas, albeit at a much more limited scale than before, Putin refused to abide by the September 2013 deal, which promised joint U.S.-Russian efforts in the United Nations to punish all violators.
So if Trump wants to blame somebody for this most recent humanitarian crisis he need look no further than his speed dial.
The question is can he bring himself to do anything more than simply tweet his displeasure?
So all of a sudden Trump is getting tough publically? Why, I ask, since that's not been his stand previously?
ReplyDeleteHe wants to be reelected and that is ALL it is in a nutshell. He knows Republicans are in mass trouble for the 2018 and 2020 elections.
Vote every Republican you can out of office that might have the balls to run for reelection. They are ALL going to be kissing our butts and throwing big bucks at their races throughout the country. Don't fall for it, voters in America!
ALL bullshit. Every last bit.
DeleteGet them OUT.
You need to read more and pay closer attention to Trump's antics, 9:22.
DeleteCome on putin, put a polonium chaser in his breakfast. He has dared to defy you.
Delete10:01 AM - I’ve seen enough, thank you.
DeleteObama was also obstructed and constrained by the Republican congress on this issue. McConnell and Ryan/Boehner share most of the blame.
DeleteYou are so right on, 11:04 AM. President Obama faced nothing but obstruction his entire two terms. Thank God, Americans loved and respected the guy and obviously still do.
DeleteSorry, the same thing cannot be said about Trump!
Frenemie$?
DeletePresident Obama and First Lady Michelle served our country well with dignity and pride for that all we stand for.
DeleteThe same cannot be said for Humpty Trumpty and third wife.
Notice that Drumph didn't say anything about how he's pulling the troops out of Syria though. He is the living incarnation of cognitive dissonance.

ReplyDelete"In a statement, the US State Department said that the reports of the attack, if confirmed, “are horrifying and demand an immediate response by the international community.” The UK’s foreign secretary, Boris Johnson, said the reports were “deeply disturbing” and warned Russia not to try to block an international investigation."
I wouldn't say President Obama was "trusting" Putie the Poisoner. Working to make the best of a bad situation, more like--keeping in mind the intransigence of the GOP Congress, and fiction with somewhat inflexible mindset of foreign policy establishment.
ReplyDeleteEr, strike "fiction" insert "friction"
DeleteThat's lil' dick for ya. There IS no civil discourse; increase our military firepower and blow them into oblivion because WE own the planet. We haven't won a conflict in how many decades? Yet so many dead and maimed physically/mentally. USA! USA!
Delete"Now Trump is trying to say there is a big price to pay. But his words are weak and worthless, as his own tweets herein evince. Over and over again, Trump demonstrates that not only is he weak when Putin is involved, but in general, his words have no meaning or weight and he takes zero ownership of his own words." Save your "powder" <wtf

"rump is to blame for the Syria chemical weapons attack."
Given that trump doesn't mind "collateral damage" in bombings, I doubt his sincerity in tweeting about this latest outrage. It's Sunday and he had to tweet something about it. His little addendum about President Obama was, as usual, inaccurate and completely mean spirited. What a turnip he is.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
There comes a time when "thank you for your service" becomes "you had nothing better to do?"
DeleteMy Dad served in WWII and Korea. Even he was disgusted.
I wonder why Putin allowed Trump to say that? They're cooking something up, for sure...

ReplyDelete"Erasers hurled at teachers and cake flung at birthday parties were notable examples of the problem-child behavior that separated Donald Trump from the other kids at the private Kew-Forest School," In "Never Enough," Trump is quoted saying he is not much different now than when he was young.
"When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I'm basically the same," he told D'Antonio.
"The temperament is not that different."
"The two would go to a magic store on West 49th Street and Broadway, according to Blair. "There they bought stink bombs and smoke bombs and plastic vomit," she wrote. "Another favorite was hot peppered gum, which they gave to unsuspecting schoolmates. After seeing 'West Side Story,' they became fascinated with switchblades."
When his father found the switchblades, Trump was sent to the New York Military Academy,"
" Trump confessed it's been years since he's ridden the subway, but he did reminisce about his childhood.
"It's been a long time. It's been a long time," Trump said. "I know the subway system very well. I used to take it to Kew-Forest School, in Forest Hills, when I lived in Queens. And I'd take the subway to school. Seems a long time ago. I'd take it from Jamaica, 179th Street. Jamaica, right? To Forest Hills. I understand the subway very well. I used to ride beTWEEN the cars." During his college years, the president worked at his father's office in Brooklyn when he wasn't at school, and when he graduated, he returned to work with his father. They worked out of Fred Trump's office in his Beach Haven development near Coney Island.
"Inside a nondescript, three-story brick building on Avenue Z, the headquarters of the Trump family empire still looked like the dentist's office it had once been, with a linoleum floor, shag carpet, and chest-high partitions between cubicles," Blair wrote in "The Trumps."
Trump's aspirations were always to be in Manhattan."

I am sick of this psychopath always putting the blame on others.
ReplyDeleteNotice he didn't say what HE will do, which will be nothing because he will flip flop in his next tweet and excuse Assad and Putin.
We have already figured out his MO.
1. blame someone else
2. make a statement
3. reverse the statement
4. blame someone else

Report: Trump Sons’ Private Trip To Dubai Cost $73,000 Or More Of Taxpayer Money
A private trip to Dubai by President Donald Trump’s sons has so far cost U.S. taxpayers at least $73,000, CBS News reports.
The money covered expenses incurred by members of a Secret Service detail for hotel rooms and car service during the trip from March 26 to April 8, according to purchase orders viewed by CBS.
The trip had nothing to do with government business. Donald Trump Jr. and his brother Eric met with “the team at Trump International Golf Club, Dubai,” a representative told CBS in a statement………….

They better call their buddy, Donnie and complain fast or maybe sarah can make a call to her former employer. I am sure it is because they are black and facebook is discriminating against them.

U.S. Officials: Unclear Which Chemical Syria Used in Attack
ReplyDelete........But the Trump administration has done nothing in response to the dozens of reported chlorine attacks launched since then. And the administration’s departure from or continuity with the U.S.’ previous indifference, to be determined in the coming days, will determine whether Bashar Assad merely has to pick and choose which of his chemicals to use for his massacres.............
https://amp.thedailybeast.com/us-officials-unclear-which-chemical-syria-used-in-attack?__twitter_impression=true
Why is it when the US Gov. waffles on support to the rebels Syrians there is a chlorine gas attack in some enclave of rebels. The Syrian gov is winning the civil war so why would they do this? It is probably because they are not the culprits.
DeleteHe for the first time attacks (kinda) Pooty. But remember he will only SOUND mean. Remember, he threw out sixty Russian diplomats? Yeah, and a couple days later, he allowed Pooty to send in sixty NEW diplomats.
ReplyDeleteWho knows what he will do now in this instance to soften the blow. Probably already talked to his BFF and told him he had to appear mean, but he did not mean it.
Yeah. I believe that Trump was given permission by Vlad the great poisoner to say that. Just for appearances and deflection. Old trick of the trade.
ReplyDeleteNice try dickhead in the White House. You and Assad are in Putin's pockets.
12:06 exactly right. But his minions will bite - hook, line and sinker.
ReplyDeleteWhy did he say President Putin, Russia and Iran. So what, Putin is his own country? What a moron.
ReplyDeleteThere were EIGHT gas attacks this last year, while there was ONE under President Obama.
ReplyDeleteLet that sink in. (Even ONE is one too many, IMHO!)
But Tiny Hands has to always blame someone else!
OT. Hurricane season starts month after next. Puerto Rico not even remotely recovered from '17 season. Not even in the ballpark. Maybe they just need more paper towel.
