Political Hippo Circle Jerk - America, farg YEAH!

[SD]

Don't really care about the negative feedback I'll get from this comment but I hope Trump drops a MOAB in Syria. This is a farging disgrace:

Children lured to the blast

A wounded girl, who said she lost her siblings in the blast, told Al-Manar TV from her hospital bed that children who had been deprived of food for years in the two villages were approached by a man in the car who told them to come and eat potato chips. She said once many had gathered, there was an explosion that tore some of the children to pieces.

After the blast, some 60 buses carrying 2,200 people, including 400 opposition fighters, entered areas held by rebels in the northern province of Aleppo, Abdurrahman said.

More than 50 buses and 20 ambulances carrying some 5,000 Foua and Kfarya residents entered the government-held city of Aleppo, Syrian state TV said, with some of them later reaching a shelter in the village of Jibreen to the south.

Just in case there was any question about why we're suddenly being faced with international military dilemmas or whether Trump's reversal of policies is something to be hopeful about. http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/4/17/15304212/trump-ignorant

One particularly chilling example of Trump's casualness about information gathering is that Michael Crowley and Josh Dawsey report he was asking aides for information about why Assad would use banned chemical weapons only after American Tomahawk missiles had destroyed Syrian military targets. The shocking truth is that it's probably Trump's own rhetoric about Syria in particular and chemical weapons in general that led Assad to think there would be no consequences for violating his 2013 agreement.

A clearer and better-organized policy process could potentially have avoided the gas attack, the subsequent perceived need for a US military response, and the inevitable worsening of relations with Russia that resulted from it.

The other turnabouts are also a little alarming. Like Trump, I am not deeply versed in East Asian security issues and long had a fuzzy impression that China could make North Korea do basically whatever it wanted. Then I went on a journalists' tour of China, organized by the Chinese government, during which Chinese officials argued fairly persuasively that this is wrong. But I didn't just take their word for it. Having had my thinking challenged, I went and checked to see if credible Western experts agreed — and indeed they do.

After all, one problem with simply changing your mind after talking to a well-informed person is that lots of well-informed people are nonetheless wrong or pushing a partial agenda. In my experience, business lobbyists on both sides of the Export-Import Bank issue are deeply informed — better informed than I am, for sure — and make somewhat persuasive arguments. Trump tends to resolve this kind of situation by simply agreeing with the last person he talked to.

Has she taken up a cause as 1st Lady yet?  Like, what is she actually doing besides staying in NY most of the time? 

[SD]

She's a trophy wife

And her English is horrible.

[Sgt PSN]

Yeah, that's a given, but every 1st Lady in my lifetime (and I think dating back to Jackie O?  Maybe before?) has been an advocate for some sort of social issue. I know it's not an official responsibility or anything, but I know how much conservatives love their traditions and FLOTUS activism is definitely a tradition if nothing else.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Bet the last time she farged him was when the kid was conceived

[ice grillin you]

remember when republicans mocked michelle obama for wanting children to eat healthy....that was cool

The real first lady is Ivanka.

ivanka is more useless than barron...she gets decent press because she looks good, dresses well and isnt a mouthbreathing retard like eric or a patrick bateman date rapist like donald jr or ugly and forgettable like tiffany

but shes horrible

[SD]
