The 45th POTUS - Donald J. Trump

[BurtReynolds]

The CIA spies on possible enemies, relations of enemies, and relations of relations of enemies.

In other words the CIA can and does spy on anyone it wants. The fact that Trump got their attention means nothing in itself. Of course he did.

But the fact that our secret police spies on anyone it wants with impunity isn't concerning at all, right?

Coming out and blaming Obama for the chemical attack in Syria is yet another new low for these pieces of shit.

Yeah his drone bombings are so much more civil.

The buck stops with Obama.

Don't worry, Donald's got that covered, too.

All told, Trump has ordered 75 drone strikes or raids in non-battlefield settings during his first 74 days in office, according to Micah Zenko, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.

By Zenko's tally, Obama signed off on 542 such strikes during the eight years — or 2,920 days — he spent in office.

Obama's total works out to about one strike every 5.4 days, the first strikes two coming on January 23, 2009, in Waziristan, Pakistan, and thought to have killed as many as 20 civilians.

In comparison, since Trump took office, he has overseen about one strike a day on average.

Man, you're the king of false equivalency around here.

[BurtReynolds]

The worst part is, he's partly right.

Just a few more and it will work.

The worst part is, he's partly right.

Obama's lack of response is thoroughly on him, and it is worth acknowledging how badly he dropped the ball.

Trump's response, or lack thereof, to this will be on him.

The war is over anyway. Assad won.

I'm mostly just arguing to argue. This thread would be a boring lefty wankfest without my cutting retorts.

[BurtReynolds]

Where is Assad anyway? Is he in a bunker somewhere? It seems like if we really wanted him gone, he would be, but the Elite always protects the Elite. Bombing the dudes on the front lines is no big deal though.

Let's just pause and hope this is true.

No shit. Who said it is isn't concerning? Not sure what the point is here.

There's a unrelenting mud slide of evidence that Trump and Russia have been dance partners for some time now. That seems like a big deal.

I'm a bit unnerved by the amount of people I've seen sharing this like "fuck yeah! You tell 'em, ISIS!"

[Strat]

Well .... they're not wrong

[Peeps]

considering he knows more about ISIS than even Generals....
