Courtesy of The Hill:JUST IN: Trump says he wants to pull US troops out of Syria https://t.co/BMsNpjiaT3 pic.twitter.com/ra63KOOqar— The Hill (@thehill) April 3, 2018
President Trump on Tuesday signaled that he wants to pull U.S. troops out of Syria, but said no final decision has been made.
“I want to get out. I want to bring those troops home," Trump said at a news conference with leaders from Baltic states.
"Seven trillion dollars in the Middle East over the last 17 years, we get nothing out of it … except death and destruction. It’s a horrible thing.”
The president pointed to America's success in combating the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terror group in the region, adding that he will consult with his advisers and foreign leaders about the American military presence in the war-torn nation.
Now I think that a lot of us would like to see the troops brought home from overseas, including from Syria.
However keep in mind that Putin has made it known that HE wants the American troops out of the way, so if Trump brings them home rest assured that he is not doing it for the troops or for the American people.
So where DOES Trump want to send the troops?
Funny you should ask.
Courtesy of Politico:
President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he intended to deploy troops along the U.S.-Mexico border until a wall was built there, proposing an escalation of efforts to prevent people from entering the country illegally via the southern border.
The move would ramp up Trump’s battle over immigration, after he has run into hurdles carrying out his campaign-trail promise to build a wall at Mexico’s expense. Most recently, he has been preoccupied by a group of migrants, mostly from Honduras, making their way north through Mexico toward the U.S.
“We are going to be guarding our border with our military. That’s a big step,” Trump said on Tuesday during a session at the White House with the leaders of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. “We cannot have people flowing into our country illegally, disappearing and, by the way, never showing up for court.”
I'm sorry did I miss the memo?
When did we declare war on Mexico?
Keep in mind that pulling the troops out of Syria would please Trump's puppet master Vladimir Putin to no end, while placing the military on the border to defend America against people wanting to work here will please his xenophobic deplorable base.
In other words Trump is clearly trying to please to different constituencies.
Trump also seems to be getting very sensitive about allegations that he is Putin's bitch.
"Probably nobody's been tougher to Russia than Donald Trump."Trump just told one of his biggest lies ever: “No one has been tougher to Russia than Donald Trump," said Donald Trump. #ImpeachTrump pic.twitter.com/zpr93jUVan— Scott Dworkin (@funder) April 3, 2018
Please, the only person who has been a bigger sycophant to Vladimir Putin is probably the guy who oils him up before he poses for those bare chested magazine covers and calendar pages.
Trump is not even trying to give the appearance that he isn't Putin's butt boy anymore.
So why the fuck is he still in the White House?
MAKE NO MISTAKE about it:
ReplyDeletePutin wants the US out of Syria.
You guys upset that Trump might pull out of Obama's war?
DeleteNope, just the reason for the pullout!
Delete*preznidint Tertiary Syphilis has really gone off the deep end now; speaking at a third grade level, shifting to mean-girl intonation ('maybe we will, maybe we won't...'), speaking of himself in the third person and using the royal 'we' as if he were a king or emperor...
ReplyDeleteAnd as to your question: "So where DOES Trump want to send the troops?"
-He behaves as a bored housewife not knowing what to do with her furniture. "I'll move the troops from the living room (Syria) to the family room (Mexican border)! As if it were that simple! What a fekking moron!
I can NOT believe that even Rasmussen has reported his poll numbers going up! Are we in an alternate universe now or something? This is surreal.
It's no coincidence that he mentioned Rasmussen by name.
DeleteFor an alleged straight guy, you sure are descriptive in your homoerotic visions of men having gay sex.
DeleteThey're so low they can't go much lower. Going up doesn't mean much since he still has the lowest approvals of any president recorded and for the longest run. He couldn't go high enough to get out of the cellar.
Delete@8:20 ...now that is FUNny...'homoerotic'a aka budsex
DeleteHis face sure has changed since he first took office. He doesn't look healthy! Is the pressure of the job too much for him? Is a stroke or heart attack on the horizon?
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope the fuck so!!!!
Deletetrump is so fucking dumb ! Someone should take him to the zoo and feed him to the Monkey's!!!
DeleteWhat dipstick!!
Fu trump lovers!!!
5:48, this is such a good idea, except would monkeys even go near him?
DeleteFor a long time Russia has been interested in Syria........Oil. Well now that the place is a complete mess, do you all think Putin will pick up the pieces and rebuild.
ReplyDeleteIt is all just so sad...boys playing war games and beating their chests.
O and trivial, but I think he's had some cosmetic work done on his neck. At least one wattle seems gone.
ReplyDeleteSo THAT is where he went for 5 days last weekend.
DeleteHe still has a huge, ugly, fat face! Cosmetic surgery to his face in no way corrects (or improves) his evil soul!
DeleteHe's still in the White House because congress is making money hand over fist. WHY don't people see this as the rug is sold out under them? Good LORD.
ReplyDeleteWe'll see how long that lasts. A lot of them and their donors are heavily invested in the stock markets. That is tanking nicely due to Trump's crap policies. He'll only make things worse. Their constituents are going to be screaming about the retaliatory tariffs by China. The dumbass voters may not know what's going on and still support him but Congress and their puppet masters know what's going on and what the fallout will be if Trump continues on his course. They'll be losing money. They'll tolerate a lot of shit but they won't stand for losing money. They put Trump there to make money, not lose it.
DeleteIf YOU are not involved in the stock market, it's kind of fun seeing the mass amount of money the rich are losing on a daily basis due to Trump.
DeleteThese are the folks that supported, and voted for, Trump.
So sad!
Someone at the Pentagon should know a little something about logistics. Does the Dodo understand that a good chunk of the border is on private property? Or in the case of Arizona, on sovereign native lands?
ReplyDeleteWhere will the soldiers be housed? They can't camp forever. How will they be fed? I dare the Cheeto Stained Shit Gibbon to eat MREs for a week straight let alone a month.
Shoot off the mouth first, deny later.
How sad we citizens need to be concerned that the President does not consider facts or weigh realistic options or consult experts to form policy and decision making.
DeleteThe only "private" property he recognizes is his own. He will confiscate the land and claim national security. Or he will TRY, anyway.
Deletehttps://www.rawstory.com/2018/04/tiffany-trump-feels-awkward-not-totally-welcome-around-father-report/
ReplyDeleteCan WE HOPE Barron tOO fEEls AwkWARD. #BADDAD
"Amerika" not "America". Stoopid autocorrect.
DeleteYou do know we were never asked to have US Military deploy to Syria right? Were have been asked to leave that country a couple of times by its fairly elected leader. We are considered adversaries in Syria. President Assad has asked us to remove our troops a couple of times even just recently. Syria & Assad were considered friendlies during the Iraq War G W Bush started, We even use to send captured enemies there to be tortured in their prisons. Then some thing happened 'the Arab Spring' which we instigated over there in the ME. Syria is also home to Russian bases a couple of them have been there many many years. Things are a bit complicated when you look into Syria and our country.
ReplyDeleteMakes no difference, you fucking apologist.
DeleteThe al-Assad family are brutal dictators. war criminals for generations- and you know it. You also know that Putin is the one in control. All the Assads would be dead without Putin and the world would be a better place.
Agreed. The Us basically has always had a detente relationship with Syria. They had their dictator President and as long as he didn't fuck up that was fine with the US. But the Obama Admin ushered in quite a bit of weirdness with their foreign policy. Assad? Gaddafi? What was the purpose of interfering and destabilizing those dictator nations for no apparent reason? Obama made a huge mess along with Hillary.
DeleteMueller is preparing a report about Trump's time in office.Someone may have obstructed justice. Trump will tweet no collusion or some such inane thing. Trump advisors are in fear, like it is about a perjury trap for poor old Spanky.
ReplyDeleteHis lawyers can't tell him what is going on or give him good information or advice, it may upset him. It is what it is. I don't see him talking to Mueller. Whatever is coming down, I doubt it matters if he talks to anyone. At some point can't they just handcuff and take him in? He can stay silent in solitude cell.
I hope it goes the best for America and the people. No one likes this ugly mess. No one wants it. Anyone who has messed with the Russia investigation or anything that matters like that must be stopped. Including all that tried to obstruct.
Will Pence replace Spanky? Horrors!
If they don't take Pence out at the same time as Trump then yes, Pence will become president. His first act will be to appoint a VP and Congress confirm the spawn of satan asap. A Dem majority in the House and Senate might head that off. If both Trump and Pence are taken out then the Speaker of the House become president. That would either be Ryan, or if the Dems take back the House could be Nancy Pelosi. Republicans will NEVER allow Pelosi to be president.
DeleteSo we're looking at Trump serving out the rest of his term. Three more years of this destructive toxic shit.
Nancy Pelosi would be a good POTUS, even though the Republicans have constantly bad mouthed her the recent past years.
DeleteShe knows more about the workings of our government (and the laws) than do the majority of men currently holding office in Congress and in Trump's administration.
I hope Mueller's report is released to all of us! Trump is still very much in trouble even though he doesn't think he is any longer.
DeleteI just want him impeached and having no control whatsoever of our government.
Excuse me? Appoint a VP? Where did you get THAT idea? The Speaker of the House would become the VP. Period. That's set in the Constitution. The entire replacement schedule is set.
DeleteIf QUALIFIED>
Delete"Only the US Congress can remove the Vice President, through the impeachment process. The President can, however, totally isolate the VP.
The latter has only two duties: preside over the Senate and vote in case of a tie and stay alive to become president “just in case”."
"The 25th Amendment, ratified in 1967, solved the problem of how to replace a vice president.
EXample> If Cheney resigned, President Bush would select a nominee for the vice presidency. Then the nominee would have to be APPROVED by majority votes in both the House and the Senate"
(In the event that Vice President Dick Cheney can no longer discharge his duties, how does George Bush get a new vice president?)
Before the 25th Amendment, a vacancy in the office was simply left unfilled. The impetus for the 25th was the assassination of John F. Kennedy--with Lyndon Johnson's ascension to the presidency, there was no vice president in place in case something befell Johnson.
Then-Rep. Gerald Ford was appointed under the 25th following the resignation of Vice President Spiro Agnew in 1973. In 1974, after Richard Nixon resigned, Ford became president and selected Nelson Rockefeller as vice president. After a long congressional inquiry, Rockefeller was approved, making them the country's first nonelected president and vice president."
Ford PARDONed NiXon...
Wanna bet ~IT~ WILL BE newt ginRICH?
Uhhhh... Leland better to keep your mouth shut, than to...... well you know the rest (or your don't).
DeleteEither way you have once again exposed your ignorance to the workings of government.
Leland.
DeleteWhen the VP becomes the President he appoints a new VP. Congress then approves it. More like rubber stamps it. It's in the Constitution.
Nothing says he has to appoint the Speaker of the House as his VP.
You don't remember when Kennedy died? When Nixon resigned? Read Anon. 8:30's post. They got it right.
You are confusing this with the line of succession. If both the president and the vice president can no longer serve, both die, or whatever, then the next in line is the speaker of the house.
That's why I'm saying they'd have to take both Trump AND Pence out at the same time so that Pence couldn't appoint a VP, who would then succeed him when *he* was removed.
And it would have to be done when the Republicans are no longer the majority in the House so that it wouldn't be Paul Ryan or his replacement if Ryan chooses not to run for re-election. When the Dems are once again the majority they are highly likely to elect Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House again. She's done a good job before.
I agree we could do a lot worse than Nancy Pelosi as our first female president. She is perfectly capable. The added bonus would be the apoplexy spreading rampant through the Republican party after she is sworn in.
I think Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh would have aneurisms.
Does anybody remember the 1970's miniseries "America?". Trump may want to be the President to surrender to the Soviet Union.
ReplyDeleteTo Russia, had to fix
DeleteThe series is on youtube.
DeleteIn the 1970's it was the Soviet Union.
DeleteAnd it may be "Russia" now, but Putin would like nothing better than to bring the Soviet Union back. Hence Ukraine.
Hahaha. Sigh. Not happening.
DeleteRussia will be restored.
Trump gets to "your fired" to
Ol Putin. Punt him as well!?
Good mood. No debts. Win-Win.
Yup. USA will be GREAT again.
When is America going to admit it has elected a psychopath to be its leader?
ReplyDeleteGoing to? We knew it November 9th.
DeleteI just want him to die in office w/no funeral provided!
DeleteFolks. I think "things aren't what they seem" with Donny.
DeleteI think he's gaming others.
Notice his MAGA slogan. ;)
U.S. troops cannot legally police our borders.
ReplyDeleteUntil HE says they can.
Delete@Anon 7:20 - no. See The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878.
DeleteTrue. It's unConstitutional to deploy military troops on American soil. That's what the National Guard and Coast Guard are for.
DeleteGetting stupider by the day. Loathsome shithead.
ReplyDeleteHoly fuck. Trump is a Faux news talking point. When will he realize that station has no real ideas or solutions? Really?
ReplyDeleteTrump & his dumbass fans might want to check out the Posse Comitatus Act which has been repeatedly upheld since 1878.
ReplyDeleteLol you moron. What liberal blog did you pull that from. Protecting the border from foreign invaders definitely does not fall under that law.
DeleteGod you're dumb. Really really dumb. Like really really really.
What fucking foreign invaders?
DeleteSome poor family trying to cross the border is not a foreign invader.
If this goes to the Supreme Court it will fail. Even some of the Deplorable judges will uphold that these immigrants do not constitute "invaders" and that you cannot deploy military troops at the border to do the job of border patrol. If Trump wants more bodies guarding our borders, then he has to hire more border patrol agents.
^ cough. Russia. Cough.
DeleteI read, "...and put them inside Bristol Palin instead."

My bad.
Besides, she may be having a 7th or 8th kid to try to save face, I mean, her marriage.
Such a struggling Christian, she obviously isn't surrendering to Jesus hard enough, or praying hard enough. She should consult her mother. Who talks to God. And is a witch.

DeleteSteals anything not nailed down. Family is a tapeworm.
Former CIA counterintelligence official Phil Mudd on Tuesday laid out why he wouldn’t rest easy given a new report that special counsel Robert Mueller has told Donald Trump’s lawyers the president is not a “criminal target” of the Russia probe—but remains a subject of his investigation https://www.rawstory.com/2018/04/id-wet-pants-ex-cia-officer-nails-significance-trumps-status-subject-muellers-probe/
ReplyDeleteLol. It is only you dumb liberals who have talked yourselves into believing somehow that the purpose of the Mueller probe was to somehow remove and/or convict the President of something. That has NEVER been the case. President Trump was elected just like every other President was. Hillary was the worst presidential candidate I have ever seen, she was actually worse than Dukakis.
DeleteOh, my, 12:41.
DeleteYou removed all doubt.
Trump has this entire country -and the world - hurtling toward a nameless horror.
ReplyDeleteThat's only because Trump can't remember the names of anything.
Delete"It's some sort of bad thing. Awful. A kind of horrible horrible-iness. We just call it Ick. Icky ick.
So it begins. Putin tells him what to do and he does it. It makes no sense to us but Putin. MAGA must be code for Making America Glorify Assholes.
ReplyDeleteTrumps code no one knows.
DeleteExcept Trump. Thumbs up!:/
DeleteIf we the people feel that the government does not represent us anymore we have to grow a pair and get out there and get rid of those that are sitting on their pedestals getting monies from the NRA, Putin, or whoever is buying them.
ReplyDeleteI think the so called right is getting desperate by the minute with their Sinclair news, their youtube crazies, and Trump's daily tweets.
America is a hot mess. Come November and 2020 we must fix this and then redo some damned rules that insure that we don't fall under the rule of a demagogue again.
Trump is leading American into a black hole - the abyss! May he succumb soon and join Satan in Hell! Then, we'll next deal w/Pence and the rest of Republicans in Congress.
ReplyDeleteThe voters need to pay close attention as to whom they select on their ballots! Votes this year and in 2020 are going to be so important. Do your homework/research as to those running for offices on the local, state and national levels, America!
LO$ER!
