No, he's Putin's bitch. You don't pay your bitches, you pimp them.

So Donny Deutsch from MSNBC did this huge piece about how Cohen should turn on Trump and just end this national nightmare.
Standard stuff really.
Except apparently someone just spotted him having dinner with Cohen shortly thereafter.
Oh, by no means it is a zero sum game.
I have no problem admitting that Trump is a retard and embarrassing.
What Trump did was to tap into a whole lot of discontent in fly-over country where the deplorables were realizing their country had changed without them. He said what a lot of people were thinking and which other politicians had been too afraid to utter; at least since George Wallace. Trump was rewarded for that. Oh, and he ran against the absolute worst person the Dems could have found. And here we are.
FWIW, I voted for the Libertarian in 08 as I couldn't stomach McCain and still can't and voted for Obama the second time as Romeny was worse than McCain. That said, I much prefer Trump's policies to those of Hillary or Bernie.
Cohen had a very human moment after the raid.
He immediately contradicted Trump's characterization of it and said the FBI were consummate professionals throughout the ordeal. He said he also wished he could go back in time and undo everything that brought him to this point because he never, ever wanted to put his family through this.
It did not feel rehearsed, it felt like he recognized that nothing was going to be the same for him ever again.
Trump threatening Russia is beyond terrifying. Not because he is threatening Russia but literally because he has no plan nor any idea on what his next steps are....
But they raided his offices with a warrant, which a judge granted because there is probable cause to believe he committed a crime.
I agree it would be hard for him to practice again, but it's his fault, not the FBI's. This has nothing to do with the attorney-client privilege.
I am a little confused on the whole Syria thing. I admit I went to 2+2 Politics forum (most of those guys are such big libtards they make Sonatine look fair and balanced) and the mood there seemed to be we should bomb Syria.
So as far as I can tell libtards are arguing Assad used chemical weapons and want Trump to attack Syria and the alt right crowd thinks this is a Jew lead conspiracy to get us to do Israel's bidding and weaken Assad/Iran for them and we should stay out. Is this correct?
Serious question, who told Mark Zuckerberg that he was witty? Seriously......
Trump must hate the Russians.
I don't reckon there was any substantial collusion, the Russians simply decided Trump would be a weakness they could exploit.
All this "he was in bed with the ruskies" must really piss him off.
As a well balanced genius, it's destroying his legacy.
I hope I'm wrong, but I think he might be dangerous. Russia has been laughing at him, and it's hurt his ego.
There's an ongoing disinformation campaign that seem to have started roughly around the time Russians started sending troops to Syria. And then there's the usual conspiracy whackos that support and are a part of that. I think their joint narrative is that all the chemical attacks are false flag operations except the ones that are committed by terrorists by the Russian standard. Russian standard for terrorists is everyone that's not allied with Assad.
The spin on the latest attack is apparently exactly same as it was in 2013 and 2017. Why would Assad use chemical weapons now when it brings attention and they are clearly winning the war? Why would a life long dictator do something brazen when his gotten away with it his whole life? By Assad's standards they have been winning this war since 2012. The why would Assad do something now would have merit if this was something out of the ordinary. It isn't and the whole narrative generally counts on the recipient at best being aware of the 3 most publicized events.
After the 2013 incident Assad was forced to give away 1300 tonnes of chemical agents. Roughly 600 metric tonnes of the most toxic crap was destroyed at sea. This didn't include chlorine since that wasn't part of the agreement and it's generally believed now that Assad didn't hand out his whole stockpile and continued their chemical weapons program. Just having 1300 tonnes of chemical weapons laying around for a rainy day is kinda suspicious.
In 2018 the Turks moved in on Syria. The latest chemical attack was the 3rd reported this year. There are still dozens of warring factions Syria that keep shuffling alliances and hostilities.
He didn't really get the job last night. He grew up as the dictators son and it's not news that middle-eastern royalty studied abroad. Doesn't really matter what could have happened. Yup a moderate with 1300 tonnes of chemical weapons. A moderate amount.
Random piece about where some of our members get their "information"...
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...iracy-theories
I've never bought into the White Helmets are supporting the terrorists, has been many reports that they have. They're definitely anti government though.
You support the Saudis though right?
If we were to chose the less of two evils, I'd take the Baathist's over the Saudis... if it was any of my business.
I wonder what the worldwide stockpile on CW's is, and how much the west has made selling them. :)
Practice makes perfect...

LULLZZZZZ
Why would i support the Saudis? Apparently when you see first hand what chemical weapons and barrel bombs do to the civilian population you aren't that fond of the faction that's behind it.
There are more than two evils working in Syria.
There's too much heat associated with CW and not enough profit for west to bother anymore. They make more from selling conventional weapons. Helping a country to set up their chemical weapons program is a one time deal. West isn't about teaching men to fish. They prefer to sell fish, upgrade fish, accessorize fish, maintain fish and after a while sell the next improved generation of fish.
How am i assisting Saudi funded terrorists?
Of course i believe that Syrian government is behind gas attacks and killing civilians with barrel bombs. That shouldn't be news to anyone. Thousand of reports, several years long investigations from multiple independent organizations vs blatant lies from connected sources. Not really rocket science on who to believe.
Are there 1300 tonnes worth of evidence? Not that many dots you need to connect here.
I don't really bother to keep up with propaganda you're fed. So Saudi funded terrorists means literally nothing to me. The real world isn't dumbed down like that. My apologies if that's too hard to follow, but that's just how it works.
You've taken a side, you agree with the actions of your government... good for you.
I beg to differ on who is lapping up the propaganda.
The side who is comprehensively routing the enemy, is guilty of committing an act to enrage more powerful countries to attack them... just for giggles hey. :)
And stop prattling on about weapons they have destroyed. Using this logic anyone who possesses these weapons is instantly guilty.
The Russians brokered that deal you know. You'd turn your main ally against yourself in the process.
Again I will say, he had no logical reason to use them.
I'd suggest you engage your brain, but I feel it's pointless.
I'm guessing you have no clue what are the actions of my government or even what my government is. But it's a good thing that doesn't stop you from making assumptions.
Do we just go with the rationale that all Jihadists are bad and any support to them is something we should frown upon or do we give a pass to Hezbollah? I don't really know how you rationalize this.
How about supporting partisan groups? Is it all bad or just the Saudis? Do we conveniently give a pass to Iran, Lebanon, China, Russia and North Korea? Like i said i don't really know how this works.
Then regarding this logic thing. Was it illogical to use CWs for the latest time or do we keep reapplying this same logic to the previous 50 times as well. How does this all work with barrel bombs. Something the UN has also forbidden since it's frowned upon to use weapons that mostly seem to be killing civilians. Do we just take Syria's word for that as well or do we pretend the 60k bombs never happened? Were they all false flag operations from factions that don't have an air force?
I lack the expertise you can apparently acquire from watching several youtube videos that i don't have the confidence to say i have this all figured out.
Now that wasn't hard. Like most conspiracies this one also lacks the need. US/Saudi's or whoever doesn't need a specific event to justify military action against Syria. They can just pick one out of many. It doesn't even have to be that related to anything to sell a war to the public. Like 9/11 was good enough for Afghanistan and Iraq. There's no need to stage that specific event if something that has so little do with the next two wars can be used as an excuse for starting those.
If Trump want's to show, that he's a strong leader while full filling his end of the bargain to several arms producers for campaign contributions, he can just wait few days. You don't have to stage atrocities in a hot civil war. World just isn't that nice.
Yes I did assume you had chosen a side, or at least approved of what is happening in Syria.
But all you really had to say is he's a lifelong dictator who surely gassed his people... and managed to sit on the fence too.
I'll not say that you're wrong, it is possible he did it. If I was to put odds on it I'd say it was 1000-1... but 100-1 is probably closer to an accurate market.
No big deal, we differ.
Didn't this same scenario happen with NK? and then what happened?? See this is why it's pointless to post in this thread anymore, u guys are too on tilt thanks to political mind manipulation and I've already said it all 5x. U eventually will all see it my way but don't need to talk about it for 5 years straight
And TRUMP THE GOD is playing the deep state like a fiddle, WHAT A FKN STUD
Here's hint. If you are going to quote a video from over a year ago make sure they are not part of the Russian disinformation campaign against the White Helmets which is well known. I've researched the white helmets independently and became very aware of how Russian trollbots are smearing them. Also when she starts talking like RegGaymer that should be a pretty big red flag in terms of staged terrorist attacks... She is a confident speaker but that is all.

Wow guys look. We totally have North Korea wrong.... Sounds like they are an amazing advanced country... Great green power, free health care, free day care, "co op farms", great education system, amusement parks, transportation network cheapest in the world. Great to have Eva tells us how happy everyone is there...
Oh how the mainstream media has deceived us...

I literally have no fucking clue what is really going on in Syria. Kind of depressing. Of the entities who probably know for sure what are going on (Russia, Syrian rebels and govt, media on the ground) I don't really trust any of them not to just flat out lie to push their own agenda.
As much as I rail on our mainstream media, I think most of them are actually reporting what they believe to be the truth, but I think they don't have very much verified information and are very susceptible to manipulation.
