Mention of Jeff Flakes' speech today deserves a place in this thread.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/pow ... 03aad840d2

This speech will be remembered in the coming election cycles. Flake is setting himself up to look like a hero.

Only to the simpletons who aren't paying attention. Those of us who are pay attention know that actions speak louder than words. Flake is just like statesman McCain - says the right things but votes like a cheap partisan hack.

Rex Tillerson says:
it was (is)“crucial” for the United States to maintain an open-ended military and diplomatic presence in Syria to prevent Islamic State militants from regrouping, to thwart Iranian influence and ultimately to see the exit of President Bashar Assad.

Tillerson outlined what he described as a new, more engaged Trump administration policy for the war-riven country during an address at the Hoover Institution think tank at Stanford University.

He described a plan of “increased diplomatic action” and a “new emphasis on a political solution” for the Syrian civil war, which has killed at least half a million people since 2011 and sent millions more fleeing in what became the largest refugee exodus toward Europe since World War II.

Tillerson said the administration also will maintain a small “conditions-based” military presence in Syria to track and kill the dwindling number of Islamic State militants. The Pentagon said in December that it had about 2,000 U.S. military personnel deployed in Syria.

Engaging in this policy after the destruction of the ISIS state, constitutes another invasion of a country by the US. As per the Colin Powell theory, the American taxpayer will get to "own" Syria for the open ended future (along with Afghanistan).

There's so much wrong with this story.

We know he did both, since he has been in court for both. We know he raped and bought his victim off, we know he had racist policies as a landlord. Everybody knows that, well probably the media you consume never ever mentions that, but what you are trying to do is along the lines of "2+2 is 4 you say, proof it!".

He even made a significant investment to rally racist hate against the, falsely accused, Latino and Back kids in the Central Park jogger attack and even until they where proven to be innocent, didn´t back off an inch.

He literally spend 100k USD in today's money to make his racism known.Of course that was in the NYT, so you probably haven´t even heard about it. Calling for the execution of a 14-year old...... real classy.

Trump continues to undermine the GOP and his staff. Trump insults those not even a part of the negotiation at this point(IDem), and shows willful disregard for the hard work of those in his office.

Today Glen Simpson testified before a Congressional committee, the text of the testimony is available online, as was his testimony before the Senate earlier this week.

Here is a snippet:
at the very beginning of this project, one of the very first things that I focused on was Donald Trump's relationship with a convicted racketeer named Felix Sater, and who was alleged to have an organized crime, Russian organized crime background. And over the course of the first phase of this or the first project, we developed a lot of additional information suggesting that the company that Donald Trump had been associated with and Felix Sater, Bayrock, was engaged in illicit financial business activity and had organized crime connections. We also had sort of more broadly learned that Mr. Trump had long time associations with Italian organized crime figures. And as we pieced together the early years of his biography, it seemed as if during the early part of his career he had connections to a lot of Italian mafia figures, and then gradually during the nineties became associated with Russian mafia figures.

And so all of that had developed by the spring of 2016 to the point where it was not a speculative piece of research; it was pretty well-established. And Mr. Trump had, quite memorably, attempted to downplay his relationship with Mr. Sater in ways that I found, frankly, suspicious and not credible. Saying he wouldn't recognize him on the street, but there were pictures of them together. And the other people around Bayrock were also from the former Soviet Union and also had associations suggestive of possible organized crime ties. One of them is a guy named Tevfik Arif, A-r-i-f, who it turned out his real name was Tofik Arifov, and that he was an alleged organized crime figure from the central Asia. So there was all that.

And then, you know, we also increasingly saw that Mr. Trump's business career had evolved over the prior decade into a lot of projects in overseas places, particularly in the former Soviet Union, that were very opaque, and that he had made a number of trips to Russia, but said he'd never done a business deal there. And I found that mysterious.

For anyone interested in the current state of the US, this is well worth reading.

Right on cue, or should I say 'Left' on cue, SNL continued their Trump bashing in all segments of their stupid show, that is marketed toward High school students, and others with a HS or less mentality.

They are truly mean-spirited.

I pray for the show's demise, since they are only political propaganda vehicle for the Left, and for people with a 7th grade sense of humor.

SNL...your demise is gonna come.

Most Trump voters, at least the ones who have nothing better to do with their lives than sit at home on a Saturday night watching tv, are usually flat broke so there's very little advertising spend for that demo. You don't hear the phrase "let's gear this towards hillbilly white trash" much on Madison Avenue.

Interesting, apparently the Dutch intelligence agency hacked a Russian hacking group with links to the Kremlin and could see that this group was hacking the US state department, the White House, and the Democratic party.

Are we just going to ignore that he did a porn star, paid her to be quiet, cheated on his THIRD wife, and evangelical and Republican leaders are still praising and loving on him? Really? I mean, it should not surprise anyone, but still. Remember how evangelicals and Republicans wanted Bill Clinton's head when he was president?

Jerusalem is divided and anything outside of the 1967 borders is not part of Israel, and never will be, unless the people living there voluntarily join.Just like Kuwait didn´t become part of Iraq or Crimea isn´t Russia. The United States being an international law violator is neither new, nor ist it relevant to the subject at hand. Despite the efforts of the Saddam Hussains and Putins in your house, Israel has been seeing increasing sanctions over that issue and there is no indication of that changing. I sort of expect that the ne US Embassy in Jordan will have a rather hard time conducting official business with anyone else but Israel. Also a good chance that US passports issued by that new embassy will be about as valuable as Russian passports issued on Crimea. Look pretty, but won´t get you across borders.

Israel itself doesn´t agree with you, since legal permanent residents of east Jerusalem, or their children, are not automatically Israeli citizens, pretty much have no way of becoming such and also aren´t drafted. If it was part of Israel, they would be.

Israel can afford its stance as long as the US can shell out Billions in its support, an ability that Trump is working hard to diminish.With religion dying out rather quick, mental issues leading to the United States stance in the matter will also see diminishing support. You can expect half the US population not giving a flying f*ck about rebuilding the temple, Christianity or God in general before 2050. "We stand with Israel to keep their illegal spoils of war" isn´t going to help winning Congress, Senat nor the White House in rather short order.
