At this point, would anyone be surprised if Trump called Democratic members of Congress and U.S. Senators traitors to America, then had them arrested and personally executed them on the White House lawn?

From what I can tell, Trump has been looking for someone to deal with all the captured ISIS fighters (many of them European), and Turkey stepped up and said they would take care of things. And Trump maybe underestimated: a) How Turkey would use this as a pretense to accomplish other military aims, and b) How upset this would make everyone else in a bipartisan way.Quote:

nba is fucking garbage for a long time. i long for the 80's celtics, sixers and lakers..and even 90's knicks and a few other teams.
most of these current day players can sick my dick and the games are unwatchable.

turkey announced just now that its invasion is going to start in the morning. that invasion is happening because trump wanted to get off the phone with erdogan so he agreed to just gather up his troops and leave.
this isnt political grandstanding or democrat pearl clutching, thousands of our allies are probably about to die, their families are about to die, and the remains are absolutely 100% going to dedicate their lives to fucking us all to pieces.

Bloomberg today reported how Trump pressured Rex Tillerson as SecOfState back in the day.

Totally legal and normal for the President to do, right Druff?
holy shit, look at this fox new poll:
"According to the new poll, released Wednesday night, more than half of registered voters nationally — 51 percent — believe the president should be impeached and removed from office.

maybe releasing a transcript proving your guilt wasn't a good idea?
so pompeo and graham are saying 'us did not approve this offensive' hours after trump stood at a podium and said he doesnt give a shit about kurds because they didnt fight at normandy, and thats why he gave turkey permission to do whatever the fuck it wanted, just give him a day to get his people out of the way.
Aren't the Kurds also running the prisons that the Turks are planning to run after they slaughter the Kurds?
Doesn't seem very well thought out.

last night they suppressed a breakout attempt, btw.
oh by the way trump has now declared that he's ignoring any congressional subpoenas, calling the impeachment inquiry "illegitimate".
this is lowkey the worst and most alarming thing he's done as president, as he's literally provoking a constitutional crisis.

You do realize lots of Obama cabinet members, most glaringly his first AG, routinely ignored congressional subpoenas? It’s kind of a way of life there.Quote:
