It's from The Onion, it must be true!
WASHINGTON—Opting to take more of a wait-and-see approach instead of rushing to pass judgment, Republican lawmakers reportedly looked on in silence Tuesday as President Trump worked his way through each of their families and, one by one, strangled all their loved ones to death.

Fake news.

We can tell its fake because Trump's hands are too tiny to actually get around someone's neck to strangle them.

Besides, he's so out of shape that he'd probably get tired half way through the first strangulation.

Considering the amount of people speaking out against Trump, it is very far from a dictatorship. In fact, as seen from abroad, he seems almost powerless, confined to ramble on Twitter. Stop reading Twitter, and it is almost as if he doesn't exist.

The Syrian Kurds will be glad to hear that.

I *hope* that his whole presidency will serve to advertise the best qualities of the U.S., the most important of which IMO is freedom of speech.

Russia and China can tell people, look how divisive democracy is! Why are these people so disloyal to their leader?

And they’re like, “Wait, they get to criticize their leader?”

An obese Monty Burns.
 
Erdogan is going to make a state visit to the US next month.
I hope some patriotic citizens make sure he gets the kind of reception he deserves.
The kind of reception Trump got in streets of the UK a few months back.

Trump Tweets

So pathetic to see Sleepy Joe Biden, who with his son, Hunter, and to the detriment of the American Taxpayer, has ripped off at least two countries for millions of dollars, calling for my impeachment - and I did nothing wrong. Joe’s Failing Campaign gave him no other choice!

Wait a minute. Is that really a Tweet from the president of the United States or a post by Logger? It's incredible to me that the president of the United States -- the proverbial 'most powerful man in the world' -- communicates in almost exactly the same way as one of the dumbest people to have ever poisoned the atmosphere of this forum. At times the whole thing seems surreal. :(

To repeat, Trump is giving stupid a bad name.

ISIS and Erdogan richly deserve each other. Maybe ISIS can regroup and form a new caliphate: Turkey. Of course Erdogan will expect to be the caliph, which he’ll be promised right up to the time they slit his throat and hang his corpse upside down in Ankara or Istanbul.

I can’t figure out how Erdogan will handle the ISIS prisoners. Turkey could summarily execute them all, or just as easily, set them free in hopes that they kill as many Kurds as possible.

I hope to hell Trump is getting pressure to at least provide defensive air support to the Kurds, but I don’t think he can afford to cave and I have a hard time believing that his abandonment really is purely a function of his economic interests. I think there’s cowardice - he can’t stand the idea of even one U.S. military casualty - as well as some sort of blackmail going on. Of course all of this is pure speculation on my part and as such I’ll add this: He has probably asked Putin what he should do. And maybe Putin has answered: Get out of the way. Let someone with an actual strategy take over.

Maybe Logger was Trump!
 
"Asked about the Kurds, President Trump said that the Kurds did not help the US during WWII or in the Normandy invasion/ D-Day"

So **** them? Dunno. it's hard to tell what this loony means.

"Trump said (of ISIS fighters): “Well, they’re going to be escaping to Europe. That’s where they want to go; they want to go back to their homes, but Europe didn’t want them from us.”

That doesn't even make grammatical sense, let alone any other kind.

Peak Trump yet? I doubt it. Dear FSM.

Did I miss something? Why is Trump suddenly attacking George W. Bush? Does it have anything to do with Ellen DeGeneres?

Bush and much of the GOP senior statesmen and the GOP legacy and the Neo Liberals. Will Fox now run stories on the WMD cover up and conspiracy? Trump just stood on the toes of a whole lot of influential people.

But the party leaders don't matter anymore. All the matters for Trump is his base.
 
Time after time Trump undermines US strategic interests in the name of spite or because some dictator kissed his ass or offered to spend money with one of his companies and yet the reaction from the Republicans is a brief flurry of outrage followed by, nothing.

I wish I could believe that. I just can't.
And I am sick of people..GOPers in particular, criticizing Trump but then taking no action.
ANyway I stated armed resistence as a last case scenario, if it's clear that the GOP has turned the US into a banana republic with meaningless fixed elections.

It's worth pointing out that part of Putin's media management is to ensure there are a few critics sprinkled here and there in order to maintain the pretense of free speech.

To the point where his people often script the criticism themselves, and make sure the cameras are pointing the right way with proper lighting on the critic.

Well why should he pay any attention to the Republican leadership? He could email Putin a copy of the US nuclear launch codes and they would simply wail about it for a day or two and then get back to ass kissing as usual...

The "from us" was his personality-disordered compulsion to take credit, as if it wasn't the Kurds who captured them and who are holding them.
