Itās from Jimmy Kimmel. The late night shows have to go really deep to parody this nonsense.

because it is exactly the sort of thing a 12 year old spoiled little shit would do. And we all know that is exactly who he is.

Yeah, this is a weird thing you constantly see in defense of Trump, that the defense is often obvious grounds for removal from office. Like the entire Ukraine phone call discussion about how Trump never said that aid was contingent on political help.
Yeah, Trump never said that, but Zelensky believed thatās what Trump meant, everyone else who read the transcript thought thatās what Trump meant. If the president is so bad at communicating with foreign leaders that the foreign leaders believe the president extorting them to commit crimes, doesnāt that mean they arenāt fit to be president?

Not sure where else to put this, maybe Iāll also put it into the āfollow upā threadā¦ but what the hell is wrong with Assange? Heās been in a British jail, yeah? I wouldnāt think theyād be in the habit of drugging people in custodyā¦? But that kind of sounds like whatās happened. I guess he could just have woken up and was still groggy?

In which the President declares parts of the Constitution āphonyā.
Note: the President is not a very literate man, nor does he typically use words of more than a syllable or two. The fact that he knows the term āEmolumentsā and can pronounce it tells me that his staff has been talking about it to him a whole lot.

Just woke up and couldnāt remember their name? My guess is this is a stupid ploy to appear incompetent to stand trial (Iām sure people try this now and then). That said, Iāve certainly known people who spent their whole lives being high-flying dicks only to crash into crippling depression one day. Iām not actually making a prediction, but if a headline one day shows up that Assange was diagnosed with bipolar Iām not going to be fighting back the shock, mumbling to myself, āNo! Not Julian Assange!ā

I have no idea if the Pentagonās plans here are motivated by some heads-up info from the WH, but ā if that isnāt the case ā Iād say the Pentagon is basing their plans on the assumption that Trumpās things-to-do list from Putin includes the US pulling out of Afghanistan; given everything so far, I think that would be a fair assumption.
(Note: The Machiavellian in me thinks that this may be the Pentagonās sneaky (and not so innocent) way of giving Congress an early heads-up so they can start getting theyāre ducks in a row now and warn off Trump well before he has a chance to issue the order ā for what thatās worth.)

I would hope that the military is fucking pissed at being caught flat footed on this whole Syrian withdrawal thing. Hell, they had to bomb their own bases to keep them out of the hands of the Turks. Maybe they are just not willing to trust Trump to not tweet them out of another theater, or maybe they are giving Congress a heads up. Either way, I suspect Trump has lost the generals.

Curious, I went to go see how prolific the contact info was for the rest of Epsteinās contacts. 17 is not out of the ordinaryāthe number of contact numbers per person is pretty high.

They most definitely are (given reactions so far from the ex-military). Whatās worse than being caught flat-footed is the sheer betrayal. The Kurdish fighters (extremely effective and reliable) worked very well with our forces in handling ISIS; you know our soldiers had to appreciate that. Kurdish support meant greater safety for our own forces there, for the people of the Middle East who are opposed to ISIS, and for people back home. And if weāre thinking āPutin ordered thisā, then you know that our generals are also thinking it.

Weāre not allowed to leave Afghanistan either?
I thought Obama wanted to leave Afghanistan
Progressives need a foreign policy philosophy beyond just being against whatever Trump does

A planned and structured withdrawal is good practice. Just up and leaving due to a tweet is not the way to do it.
