He needs to be Impeached now NANCY!!
@Spearhand no. Zucker is busy reading a copy of the lawsuit that got delivered to his desk today by Trump.
you really think he will be IMPEACHED,if so I got a bridge to se you
TRUMP/2019
Impeach and remove
impeached for what? you guys have made the word impeachment as meaningless as you’ve made the word racist
Kia why? 7 skin on his cosa is paying the consequence because the kid Stra8 but who knew a gold was inside it. San Fransisco up in this byotch!
This guy is bad news
The inside of his brain is like the inside calabaza squash.
@Elkslayer Of course… I’m not a Republican or Democrat…I support the chosen one.
@Rosie Obviously you are Anti-American Pro-LGBTQ. 🤪🤢
@Elkslayer They also assume that all of us are raging, lunatic liberals.(their words, not mine) I am however, a raging, pissed off Independent! Registered Republicans, (I was once) are even beginning to see the writing on the wall with this guy. I just do not understand why there are still people worshiping the ground he walks on, like he is Jesus.
@William H So, because I am pro LGBT, that makes me Un-American? Lol. O.K. First of all, what people do in their bedrooms or their homes is none of my buisness. If you have ever watched porn, then guess what you are LGBT too. Because isn’t it packed with all sorts of scenarios? But I guess I should hate you to because I am ASSUMING because you are male you watch porn????? Assumptions are the mother of all F!&’.ups! See how that works! You also assume everyone on this thread is a Democrat….. Wrong again buddy! Assuming again, because we do not support this President that we must be Un-American or democrat is why tribalism is going to be what destroys this country from within….. Just as you believe an
LGBT persons’ beliefs and how they live their lives should not enfringe on your rights to live, the same should be said for your way of life not infringing on their lives, nor their RIGHTS! We should all be able to live here free within the laws of this country, free from persecution of Religions, free from fear of losing a job because of ANY type of Racism. Free from being kicked out of the Military because of Gender Identity. If someone can do the job who gives a flying bleep what gender they are!
@Rosie very well said. Republican leaders just need to realize Trump is nuts and stand up for Americans.
If they wish to save their party they do not want to keep going down his rabbit holes.
You can be a proud to be a Republican but to stand behind Trump is just insanity.
such a shame..our
Clown betrayed the only kurdish solders who helped us fight ISIS…it’s the Ultimate betrayal…now no one will help us when we need help in a near future with terrorism…
@Tom Fu Search for Ryan Grim and his comments on the book “No good men among the living” (I think it was on the TYT channel). a 10 – 15 minutes video. Likely he also wrote an article on the Intercept. – The Taliban were willing to surrender and broker a peace deal with the U.S. very quickly – within months after the U.S. started the war. But the Bush admin did not accept it, they WANTED TO STAY THERE.
Instead they started to throw money around if someone would inform them about a “taliban” or hand one over. Afghanistan has been a very backwards, VERY TRIBAL country even before the wars started in the 1980. first the proxy war between the U.S. and Soviet Union. When the S.U. left a civil war. the population was inititally glad the Taliban took over – at least they ended the civil war and were god fearing disciplined warriors.
Did not turn out so well for the population either.
9/11 provided the pretext for the next war of the U.S. – Cheney / Bush had prepared for the war in summer 2001 already. That is why they could start it within 4 or 5 weeks after 9/11 – war is a huge logistics operation.
The Afghans had a lot of scores to settle from grievance during the war times, never mind the usual neighbourhood squables and infighting in families, rejected marriage offers, attempts to get your hands on an inheritance and what not.
also the money in itself was an toxic incentive in such a poor war-torn country.
People were ratting each other out – Taliban or not. The U.S. command was eating it up. Likely they knew these were not all really the fierce terrorists – but the numbers looked good.
(Same dynamic as the body count – allegedly killed Vietcong – in Vietnam. Soldiers were allowed / pressured to attack civilians as easy targets to have an impressive body count. That would get the soldiers to a better post / safety / home and their superiors looked good as well.
Of course it had no military value to go after civilians nor did it help to make it safer for the U.S. troops. and it is a war crime plain and simple. But _the numbers of “killed Vietcong” looked good_ and the military and political “leadership” at home knew anyway that the war could not be won. They cared about their elections or military career or the profits of the companies supplying hardware. Droves of dead civilians, soldiers, a poisoned, destroyed land and plenty of dead / traumatized U.S. soldiers – who cares !
@Tom Fu lol we dont need your stinking troops lololol so funny. you need us bud. and you’ll probably be sipping your beer as we do your fighting for you. AGAIN!!!
@Gavin Coleman who said the kurds attacked USA. although the USA has deemed the kurds fighting force the PKK as a terrorist group. so its funny that we align ourselves with people we ourselves deem to be terrorists
Kudos to this brave, intelligent woman for calling this so-called US President out on his short-sighted, reckless, inhumane decision. Trump and his followers epitomize obnoxious willfull ignorance better than any group of Americans in history.
Bone spurs should not be allowed to ever again make a military decision like this alone…
@Cropper Copper , little girl you KNOW NOTHING. So what “STAKE” you have in THIS GAME? You post like a typical VIDEO Crusader, while VETERANS (Nam 2 tours 70-74) like U.S. and now my GRANDSON “IN” AFGHANISTAN Shedding BLOOD for these NEVER ENDING TRIBAL WAR MONGERS. TO CNN this is a RATINGS GAME.
So now WHAT IS “YOUR STAKE” in these GAMES? He is “MINE”.
I wonder how our South Korean allies are feeling these days?
If the US had militarily defended the Kurdish communist terrorist militia. And retaliated NATO member Turkey within the Turkish border. Then Turkey would very likely have called on Article 5 for the NATO alliance to rightly declare war on the US for the biggest betrayal in living memory 🤨
@Invoke the 25th Amendment. + Why just mention North Vietnamese freedom fighters, (who are they, anyway), HELL, the Democrat politicians, the anti-American hippy-communists, & leftist unwashed student protesters, forced the US to abandon our South Vietnamese allies. More than a million South Viet Namese fought along side US troops, for many years, as both countries, vainly tried to defend the South Viet Namese people, from the unprovoked military aggression, instigated by the repressive Socialist authoritarian regime in North Vietnam. More than 100,00 South Viet Namese political leaders, civilians, and military personnel were executed, or were killed, trying to resist the unprovoked invasion of their country, by the brutal armed forces of Socialist North Viet Nam. Democrats were all about abandoning vulnerable allies, threatened by hostile military aggression, from repressive authoritarian regimes, back then.
Their faux unprincipled moralizing these days is actually sickening, & yet they will pretend to see no issues with their blatantly callous HYPOCRISY, on this … and many other issues.
KOut
kalbs89 : Jesus! Good question ✌️👍
@MrArchangel73521 + It’s that kind of irrational, & self defeating thinking, that Americans should elect a “leader” or
a “model” for the rest of the world, as you put it, is precisely why they chose a character that embodies exactly the opposite qualities, to the ones you recommend. Thinking of any leader, in terms of benefiting, or pleasing “the world” is so childlike, it’s difficult to describe how silly, unaware of
REALPOLITIK, & willfully ignorant of acting in OUR NATION’S
INTERESTS, TO BENEFIT THE GREATEST NUMBERS OF IT’S CITIZENS, WHO MAKE UP THAT NATION, you sound.
KOut
They were given THAAD so they feel safer than others in the region. My family out thier are storing extra food and water, they also renewed thier visas for travel to Europe, they have no desire to be within a thousand miles of Gump.
Trump loves campaigning for president. He just doesn’t have a clue on how to be president.
making sense out of nonsense It must be awfully dark up inside there. Not to mention the lack of oxygen. Why don’t you pull your head out of there for a couple seconds and catch your breath.
Actually I am Bernie Bro…..Burnie or Trump pick one…..
@making sense out of nonsense He’s right. He doesn’t know jackshit on how to govern and you’re afraid to admit it. His business dealings that ended with failures and bankruptcies are clear as day indications.
No, Trump, this isn’t like a schoolyard fight, just like the border detention centers, aren’t like summer camp. 🙄
Suzy Q : The anchor says it’s, “complicated.” Here’s the simple version: Trump, Erdogan and Assad, work for Putin and follow HIS ORDERS. Any questions? ✌️👍
@Suzy Q Brain spurs! Banjos and balalaikas!
Dumbass he knows it’s not a schoolyard fight you dumbass that’s why he wants to bring our guys home,why should our guys get killed in somebody else’s religious war that’s been going on for thousands of years, as for detention centers they have a choice they don’t have to come here, and if they choose to go back to their own country they don’t have to stay in the detention center
@J. Josue oh please once a snowflake always a snowflake
@Carlos Carlos Democrats are nothing but poverty pimps
Let’s hear what the President lied about last hour…
Then tune in to cnn did you hear anything about USA going back to the moon or mars not if you listen to cnn. They have their own agenda and they don’t care if you are informed did you know there is a ceasefire problem not why stay in the dark like this
nemian618 CNN is fake news but real porn or couch potatoes
Has seen and mention that there’s a cease-fire? Of course not
Trump at his walking dead show getting their small brains washed.
Mr.D Simpson Did you know there’s a cease-fire you idiot oops you watch CNN
@OH Yeh! It is a postponement, not a cease fire, you stable genius.
Mr.D Simpson : trump Trolls don’t, “believe,” in Trump either. They pretend. Either for pay, because they’re foreigners, or because they can’t admit how wrong they are. They’ve ALL given serious money, and feel like IDIOTS . . . SMH ✌️👍
john herring : Insightful challenge, there, my friend. You touched on his Propaganda Conditioning. Those who are not paid foreigners, have been conditioned into hating their fellow Americans, even MORE than they hate our enemies. The Cult of Personality, makes them, “feel,” like they have a personal interest in Trump, because they’ve given real money to his, “cause.” Well spoken sir 👍
OH Yeh! : Did you know Turkey has IGNORED the, “ceasefire,” which was only put there so Americans could get out, without having to watch their Kurdish friends being murdered, you Personality Cult, Un-American, prick? 🙂
Trump makes millions off of Turkey, his loyalty is to money, not the United States.
its the money he knows(dirty)
@MELPCSR Jr. Seeing is believing. you you’re a fool.
Who will Americans scold and hate if Trump goes?
@T S Don’t be stupid. Fighting for justice is not terrorism. This is humanity. that’s why these people have been around for many years.
Turkey is the only country to identify the YPG as a terrorist group. The problem is that the dictator Erdogan wants to be responsible for massacring thousands of Kurds, and he says at every turn that he is against them. It’s the worst neighbor any nation doesn’t want to see. Turks only seek blood.
The state’s aircraft, the state’s car, implicit appropriation, everything is already in hand. So Trump doesn’t need money.
“sometimes u have to let them fight”
is this what we should’ve done when the world was fighting with isis??
my brothers and sisters are being slaughtered because of ur cruel and irresponsible dicissions Mr.trump!
let us find peace.!
#kurd #rojava
As an American who supports the Kurds, you have my sincere apology for that orange piece of shite. Fortunately, he will be gone soon; and, I’m hoping we can rectify some of this.
let me add my apologies as well, and that we are working on getting that traitor out of office. he has shamed our nation and has no honor or decency.
With a new president…I think it will take awhile…to fix all that Trump has destroyed… but …I believe the damage can be corrected…with the right president !
@MrArchangel73521 Yeah….change the constitution and bring president Obama or Bill Clinton back again.
No?! ….Ok ! Sorry Kurds but y’all have to make Peace with everybody or get killed by everybody.
Simpletons like that tool in chief only think in 2 dimensions.
There is no genocide in a “school yard fight”
@ TRAVIS.- We are seriously dealing with a demented individual!!!🤔
RIGHT!!!
Travis you delusional maniacs really believe turkish governments is conducting a genocide while %15 of turkey is already kurd. You really do live on the other side of the world.
@Biliepan I will believe the war journalist there and besides the Kurds they kill are not in Turkey are they? Only one out of the 2 is the Invaders … Spoiler… It’s not the Kurds. But by all means support the killing of people that were living in peace a weak ago
Trumps never fought in he’s life. What a fuckwhit. America, you are losing your allies.
U.S has betrayed many. On this one it’s because Turkey is calling in it’s favors for Trump doing business in Turkey.
We’re occupied by a crime family. No more presidency. Our flag should be upside-down. 😖
Send Trump to the front line. Would like (or not) to see his fat red arse run or hide scared.
Ket send him to the front line so he will finally earn a bone spur🤣🤣
Can you imagine some soldier coming home, angry at this decision, and his or her Trumpist parents are instead angry at them for not being grateful enough to Trump? I can absolutely picture it.
Wives and husbands serve too, such a beautiful letter Lady has a beautiful heart
V I : Imagine those Troops, and what words they found, when parting with their friends? So many relationships have been established. Cowardly betrayal. The ONLY way to restore our credibility in the world is to REMOVE TRUMP.
yes………….trump has a rotten soul
Well that woman there has more courage and honor then any jack off with bone spurs
Dear Kurds,
We’re sorry Russia got our president elected. Hopefully not much longer.
– Military wife
The Kurds are the most noble people in the region. They love Bernie Sanders policies and they are the biggest bastion of secularism and humanism in a region plagued by religious fanaticism and evil subhumanism.
No way
