It doesn't have to be one or the other, they can report on all the news. You're not going to wiggle out of this corruption.

"Wiggle".. whatever floats your boat. Amazing the nonsense people will believe because they hate someone. Even when the source of the information has a reputation for lying, lied, apologized for lying then kept lying.

Is that confirmation bias or just gullible? In the next breath they argue that Biden's obvious conflicts and corruption as VP don't matter "it's been investigated"; showing themselves as hypocrites.

Democrats and media attack Trump, Trump plays them like a fiddle.

"Thousands of people have been involved in Iraq's nationwide protests, which are among the largest seen in decades and which were sparked by frustration over alleged government corruption, lack of basic services and growing unemployment. CNN's Arwa Damon reports.
Source: CNN"

https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2019/10/04/iraq-protests-baghdad-arwa-damon-nd-vpx.cnn

"Two years after oil-producing Iraq declared the defeat of Islamic State, security has improved but corruption is rampant, wrecked infrastructure has not been rebuilt and jobs are scarce."

Maybe, Trump should investigate?

Maybe he would if the media covered it instead of the fake impeachment. Maybe Hong Kong could use some support? I see more on imgur about HK than cable news.

I didn't expect anything to end well for the Kurds. What are our choices? Stay in Syria another 10 years to secure a home for the Kurds or hand over the area to Turkey? Kurd's can move to Northern Iraq which will strengthen their autonomy there.

NBA actually apologized to Communist China when Rockets GM, Morey expressed support using for protesters on twitter.

Lot's of stuff beside the fake impeachment. Don't be fooled by the pearl clutching, dramatic outrage of talking heads.

 

[mr-x]

You've used that line so many times, yet I'm not. I think you are tho. 15 posts of nonsense, trying to defend corruption.

"At this point, I don't care if there was a "quid pro quo"

This is where Trump took the party. There is a lot of cleanup the Dems are going to have to do.

You mooks are still talking about impeaching Kavanuagh.

We should take a moment each day and honor true Patriots. Let's start with the great Adam Schiff. Standing up to the nutters, standing up for America. Focused, extremely focused on the job at hand.

Since Potus is so intent on getting rid of corruption in Ukraine, I’m sure he’ll be looking into this... especially since it’s what he’s accusing the Bidens of doing...

(Yeah. Sure he will )

“This circle of businessmen and Republican donors touted connections to Giuliani and Trump while trying to install new management at the top of Ukraine’s massive state gas company. Their plan was to then steer lucrative contracts to companies controlled by Trump allies, according to two people with knowledge of their plans.”

(It gets worse. Read it.)

So the US convinces the SDF Kurds to back off from their defensive positions against Turkey in exchange for guarantees of security. Now that they’re defenseless, we give Turkey the green light to light to invade? WTF?

Wonder what the White House got in return for that?

This goes against our top ally in the battle to wipe out ISIS. We’re selling them out. Turkey will slaughter the Kurds.

Even more damaging, it erodes trust in the USA. Who would trust our word now?

Global Censorship: Court Rules EU Govts Can Take Down Content Worldwide After Politician Insulted

The Court of Justice of the European Union has ruled that EU governments can order Facebook to take down content worldwide after an Austrian politician was insulted online.

Eva Glawischnig-Piesczek, a leading figure in Austria’s left-progressive Greens Party, was branded a “lousy traitor of the people” and a “corrupt oaf”, among other things, in an Austrian news article concerning her party’s support for a minimum income for refugees which was shared on a Facebook user’s personal page, according to court documents.

The Green politician demanded Facebook Ireland, which manages Facebook in Europe, remove the post, and secured an Austrian court order commanding it when the U.S. subsidiary failed to comply — but was not satisfied when the social media giant only restricted the content in Austria.

Now the Court of Justice of the European Union has decreed that censorship orders issued by an EU state can apply globally, as EU law “does not preclude [a] host provider from being ordered to remove worldwide information disseminated via a social network platform”.

The EU judges rejected Facebook’s arguments that this would curb online free speech in third countries which do not allow the sort of state censorship which Glawischnig-Piesczek demanded.

They also ruled that EU does not “preclude a host provider which operates a social network platform from being ordered, in the context of an injunction, to seek and identify, among all the information disseminated by users of that platform, the information identical to the information that has been characterized as illegal” — i.e. other content repeating the “illegal information” about Glawischnig-Piesczek.

I wonder how many times she's called Trump a Nazi and other exotic names?

Here you go... an easy to understand graphic of the politics in the Middle East... hope it clarifies things!

The same people that are bashing Trump over his decision to pull American troops out, are the same people that praised Obama for pulling out American troops.

Oooooh... we can make a meme. What a constructive use of your time

What part of “screwing over our allies and leaving them to be massacred” do you not understand? Back in June the orange wonder promised to watch out for them. He just broke that promise.

Even Haley and Lindsey “Linda” Graham aren’t on board with this.

He’s effectively turning the Middle East over to Russia. It’s Putin’s birthday, Ukraine wasn’t available.

How many wars do you wont to fight for how many years? Kurds will retreat to northern Iraq. Thank Barack Obama and John McCain.

Exclusive: Official Who Heard Call Says Trump Got 'Rolled' By Turkey and 'Has No Spine'

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/worl...turkey-and-has-no-spine/ar-AAIqDkW?li=BBnb7Kz

So Putin, Kim have passed Trump over to Erdogan so he can have his way with him as well.

------
Random responses from Twitter

Turkey will be invading Syria shortly and US forces will be getting out of the way, apparently abandoning the US’s Kurdish allies in Syria, per WH statement.

We asked the Kurds to stand up to Saddam Hussein in Iraq. We told them we’d have their back if they helped us.
And now Trump is leaving them to die.
US strength is not in our weapons, but in our international alliances. Trump is telling the world our word means nothing.

So we’re allowing Turkey to undertake a genocide of Kurds. This is definitely in line with the principles of freedom, justice, equality and liberty we’ve been claiming for two centuries.

Shame on @realDonaldTrump
for giving the green light to dictator Erdogan to slaughter thousands of Kurds, men, women, children, who fought & died alongside our boys in Syria fighting ISIS.
This will go down in history as one of the most shameful chapters in US foreign policy.

So the @POTUS
@realDonaldTrump
just totally fucked the #Kurds over
Yeah thanks for helping us fight ISIS now go fuck yourself.

Trump goes against the recommendations of top officials in the Pentagon, turns his back the Kurds who helped the USA fight against ISIS.

He spoke to Erdogan on Sunday. What did Turkey promise you for you to turn your back on our allies?

haha, I was checking out Twitter, saw Mandate of Heaven trending, was just curious:

"Pat Robertson is "appalled" by Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northern Syria: "The President of the United States is in great danger of losing the mandate of Heaven if he permits this to happen."
@RightWingWatch
· 2h

Even Christian, right wing nutters are not supporting this. Trump is going to lose the mandate of Heaven if he does this. This sounds kinda serious guys.

Watch the video - https://twitter.com/RightWingWatch/status/1181258801455996934

Huckabee too ...

Again: Abandoning the Kurds is a complete reversal of policy in that region. What is the WH getting from it?

Fun fact: There's a Trump Towers in Istanbul.

Fun fact 2: The " I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey" thing may have something to do with the giant fine which is owed (but has yet to be imposed on) their main bank for money laundering violations.

Fun fact 3: Not 24 hours after the announcement, Turkey has already attacked.

Turkey starts bombing Kurds in Syria as US pulls out – report
Syrian news agency says Turkish forces hit positions of Syrian Democratic Forces militia in northeast of the country
https://www.timesofisrael.com/turkey-starts-bombing-kurds-in-syria-as-us-pulls-out-report/

Unfortunately, the Turks are good at genocide.

People who fought ISIS alongside our troops are being bombed.
Leaving a close ally to die is cowardly and dishonorable.
It doesn't serve US interests.
It serves Russia's interests, and maybe DT's personal interests..

Fox News Poll: Biden bests Trump by nine points in Wisconsin

By Dana Blanton | Fox News
Wisconsin voters are unhappy with how things are going in the country, oppose the border wall, think tariffs hurt the economy, and disapprove of the job President Trump is doing. That gives Democratic candidates the lead in each of the possible 2020 matchups tested in a Fox News Poll of Wisconsin registered voters.

Joe Biden bests Trump by 9 points (48-39 percent) and has the only lead outside the poll’s margin of error. Bernie Sanders is up by 5 over Trump (45-40) and Elizabeth Warren has a 4-point edge (45-41). In each case, the remaining 13-14 percent of undecided/third-party voters is enough to shift the race either way.

Trump receives 41 percent support or less in each of the matchups -- well below the 47 percent he won the Badger State with in 2016. At the same time, none of the Democrats hit 50 percent.
