I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote: ... I don’t think that anybody
Quote: seriously believes that Assad or anybody else in the Syrian government really ordered a chemical weapons attack on anybody. To believe that it would require you to find the following sequence logical: first, Assad pretty much wins the war against Daesh which is in full retreat. Then, the US declares that overthrowing Assad is not a priority anymore (up to here this is all factual and true). Then, Assad decides to use weapons he does not have. He decides to bomb a location with no military value, but with lots of kids and cameras. Then, when the Russians demand a full investigation, the Americans strike as fast as they can before this idea gets any support. And now the Americans are probing a possible Russian role in this so-called attack. Frankly, if you believe any of that, you should immediately stop reading and go back to watching TV. For the rest of us, there are three options ...
Quote:I think that there is no need to dwell on the total illegality of this [American] attack. I would just underscore the supreme irony of a country basically built by and run by lawyers ... whose general population seems to be totally indifferent to the fact that their elected representatives act in a completely illegal manner. All that most American people care about is whether the illegal action brings victory or not. But if it does, absolutely nobody cares. You disagree? Tell me, how many peace demonstrations were there in the USA about the totally illegal US aggression on Yugoslavia? Exactly. QED. My son perfectly summed up what Trump’s actions have resulted in: “those who hated him still hate him while those who supported him now also hate him“. Wow! How did Trump and his advisors fail to predict that? Instead of fulfilling his numerous campaign promises (and his own Twitter statements) Trump decided to suddenly make a 180 and totally betray everything he stood for. I can’t think of a dumber action, I really can’t. I have to say that Trump now appears to make Dubya look smart. But there is much, much worse. The worst aspect of this clusterf**k is how utterly immoral this makes Trump appear. Think of it – first Trump abjectly betrayed Flynn. Then he betrayed Bannon. [Sidebar: I mostly liked Flynn. I had no use for Bannon at all. But the fact is that they were not my best friends, they were Trump’s best friends. And instead of standing up for them, he sacrificed them to the always bloodthirsty Neocons in the hope of appeasing them. This is what I wrote about this stupid and deeply immoral betrayal the day it happened: Remember how Obama showed his true face when he hypocritically denounced his friend and pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.? Today, Trump has shown us his true face. Instead of refusing Flynn’s resignation and instead of firing those who dared cook up these ridiculous accusations against Flynn, Trump accepted the resignation. This is not only an act of abject cowardice, it is also an amazingly stupid and self-defeating betrayal because now Trump will be alone, completely alone, facing the likes of Mattis and Pence – hard Cold Warrior types, ideological to the core ... The worst aspect of that is that by betraying people left and right Trump has now shown that you cannot trust him, that he will backstab you with no hesitation whatsoever. ... During his campaign Trump made a lot of excellent promises and he did inspire millions of Americans to support him. I personally believe that he was sincere in his intentions, and I don’t buy the “it was all an act” theory at all. Just look at the total panic of the Neocons at the prospects of a Trump victory and tell me this was all fake. No, I think that Trump was sincere.
Quote:But when confronted with the ruthless opposition of the Neocons and the US deep state, Trump snapped and instantly broke because he is clearly completely spineless and has the ethics and morals of a trailer park prostitute. So what we really have is a sad and pathetic version of Obama. A kind of Obama 2.0 if you want. The man inspired millions, he promised change you can believe in, and he delivered absolutely nothing except for an abject subservience to the real masters and owners of the United States: the Neocons and the deep state. Trump did get what he apparently wanted, though: the very same corporate media which he claimed to despise is now praising him. And nobody is calling him a “Putin agent” any more. None of which will prevent the Neocons from impeaching him, by the way. He chose a quickfix solution which will stop acting in just days. How totally stupid of him. He apparently also chose the option of an “attack for show” to begin with, which turned into one of the most pathetic attacks in history, probably courtesy of Russian EW, and now that the USA has wasted something in the range of 100 million dollars, what does Trump have to show? A few flattering articles from the media which he has always hated and which will return to hate him as soon as ordered to do so by its Neocon masters. Pathetic if you ask me. Ever since he got into the White House, Trump has been acting like your prototypical appeaser (it makes me wonder if his father was an alcoholic). How a guy like him ever made in business is a mystery to me, but what is now clear is that the Neocons totally submitted him and that they will now turn him into political roadkill.
Quote:I have come to the conclusion that any and all types of dialog with the United States are simply a meaningless and useless waste of time. For one thing, there is no US policy on anything. Over the past week or so we saw both Nikki Haley and Rex Tillerson completely contradict themselves over and over again: “no we don’t want to overthrow Assad. Yes we do want to overthrow Assad. Yes we do. No we don’t“. This is almost painful and embarrassing to watch. This just goes to show that just like the Obama Administration, the Trump people are “[Russian word]” or “not agreement capable”. I explain this term in this analysis (written about Obama! Not Trump): The Russians expressed their total disgust and outrage at this attack and openly began saying that the Americans were “[Russian word]”. What that word means is literally “not-agreement-capable” or unable to make and then abide by an agreement. While polite, this expression is also extremely strong as it implies not so much a deliberate deception as the lack of the very ability to make a deal and abide by it.

Quote:Originally posted by DREAMTROVE: He was gloating. But of course I knew they would do this, troll and haters were going to claim victory if anything went wrong, which it was guaranteed to, just as they painted anyone who didn't buy their bullsh*t as being Trump supporters. So, no, you didn't, you guys told us he would be Hitler. Instead so far he's a little weak, when the deep state pushes. Also remember that you guys suggested that we all support a pro-deep state coup to overthrow Trump, and now you're saying that the problem with Trump is he's too obedient to the wishes of the deep state? I'd agree with that last, but the whole logical chain is circular 6, it's pretty straightforward in a twisted sort of way. The DS wants a war, but absent that, the appearance of a war. "It does not matter if the war is going well, or at all. All that matter is that a state of war exist." Orwell is right, war is the engine for bad policy. So, Trump gives them authority for very limited war so they can play each explosion on every channel. The first one, they took the command, and blew up a bunch of kids. The second one, he said "I do this one, and I don't tell anyone when or how" so he arranged with Putin, who called Assad who we assume ordered the evacuation. I believe that the local troops stayed because they had videos of the attacks. That is probably correctly six victims from the Syrian Army. The family bombed with the stray bomb is fake news. The airstrip is in a vast nothing. even with houses around the statistical chances of hitting one are a trillion to one. The third one the deep state was like, no, we're not letting him have this kind of no drama trauma conflict, so we're going to take the reigns,. then they had a bunch of people pose for a selfie as ISIS of iraq, holding up flags that said so, while they were standing like 20 of them in the middle of absolute complete gorram nowhere, they look ridiculous, and then the DS is like "this is who we're bombing" and then they ran the MOAB, and claimed victims... The afghans had no idea anything had happened. The whole ISIS thing is a snow job because the DS runs ISIS, they got them to pose for the selfie and who knows where they really are, but we know the real ISIS is boxed in with enemies on all sides, so they're not in Afghanistan. So, this is a fake war to create the war mentality in the absence of war while the deep state finds another way to overthrow those govts. It's a Trump false narrative because the balatant opposition was too much for the DS.

You argued with us claiming he wouldn't be like this, but instead would be something, someone else. He was going to drain the swamp, instead he filled it. He was going to put it to China. Well, maybe not anymore. After all, Trump meet the Chinese leader and found out he's a great guy. He was going to tear up NAFTA em, never mind. NATO is obsolete, two weeks later, not any more. America first, as soon as I fix the rest of the world. Now do you get my point. The point of this thread? It's time to start saying; We told you so

Quote:Originally posted by SHINYGOODGUY: Quote:So T was gloating about something? What was he gloating about? Is this referencing another thread or discussion? Hey JSF, It seems that you have pinpointed the dilemma with several posts here. Okay, gather round children, allow me to retort: I think a good place to start is at Thrrgi's initial statement; then I commented about the whole "gloating" thing and attempted to clarify the meaning of the word. I was being sarcastic (or as 6 put it, I was being "cute"). To be clear, I don't know where DT and 6 got "gloating" from T's remarks. Hence my "explanation" or contribution regarding the meaning of the word. Usually, one "gloats" to piss off the other guy when one wins at something. Like when a Patriots fan gloats over how Tom Brady lead the football team to glorious victory and is a God, who's shit don't stink. Or, in this case, how Trump beat the odds and made the MSM pundits look bad when he slaughtered Hilary in the general election. How he crushed her hopes and dreams when he scored the highest point total in the Electoral College in the history of the world; oh and how he crushed her in the popular vote (of course, it would have been, had it not been ruined by all those illegal votes in California. 3 million I heard. But I digress, perhaps DT or 6string would care to elaborate on the five Ws of T's supposed "gloating." (The 5 Ws, for the uninitiated, are who, what, when, where and why). You see, to me T's comments were more about the recent Cirque du Soleil feats of acrobatic skill performed by our dickless leader (really, he should try out for the U.S. gymnastics team). Trump has done so much backpedaling and flip-flopping that it would make our Olympians seasick. His recent flip-flops with Obamacare, Putin and Russia, as well as Syria could drive anyone to drink. His campaign promises have been long forgotten, as much as his undying love for Comrade Putin. What I see in his post is a commentary on the hypocrisy of his campaign, and now his administration (if you could call it that) and how he has reneged on the promises he has made throughout. Remember "Jail Hilary"? and who could forget our all-time favorite - "Repeal Obamacare." I don't see it as "gloating," but then again I'm funny that way. I hope that helps.

If they didn't they would have to address all of Trumps failings. = THUGR You see it INcorrectly, SGG. And THUGR. Just as I have three hopes for Trump's administration, I had three for Obama: universal health care, meaningful economic repair, and an end to our ceaseless interventions everywhere. (He DID vote against the Iraq War, unlike Hillary) The first inkling I had that Obama might be "more of the same" instead of "hope and change" "changing the way Washington works" was his appointment of Timmy Geithner as Treasury Secy. Obama had a historic oppty to be Roosevelt v.2 - the worst crash since 1929, a Democratic Congress - and he blew it. IF he had done something to help people instead of banks, Congress would have remained Democratic. Instead of learning that lesson, the DNC continued representing wealth. My SECOND indication that Obama was "more of the same" was when he spoke on the tarmac of some unremarkable air base about "indefinite preventive detention". That should make anyone's blood run cold. My THIRD hint that Obama was "more of the same" was when he flubbed health insurance, and for me this was one of THE issues of my vote. He first yanked single payer off the table and then by took away public option, after promising it in his second State of the Union (which BTW happens in January or February) .... a full year into his first term. I was angry, but I thought ... well, it's a complicated bill with a lot of moving parts. Let's see what happens. But I was willing to give Obama a chance. I didn't decide against him until fairly far into his first term. It takes a long time to actually DO anything substantive, and not just speechify or tweet. From the moment Trump was elected he faced an intransigent half of the population, but worse- an implacable deep state willing to "leak" lies and an compliant press willing to spray anything anywhere. Yes, Obama faced a lot of hostility, but it was not spread by the MSM. So, I'm willing to wait and see what happens. I'm going to give Trump a chance, like I gave Obama a chance. My expectations are very low. As I have posted many times before, I voted for Trump for three things: Reducing illegal immigration Ending "free trade" deals An end to our pointless hostility to Russia. I was hoping this would mean less "interventionism" abroad in general. So far he's made progress on two of them and went way backwards on the third, but it's too early to speak of "failure", just as it would be too early to speak of "failure" for Obama. I CAN talk about my concerns. ----------- "Pity would be no more, If we did not MAKE men poor"- William Blake THUGR, JONESING FOR WWIII All those guns 1kiki, are pointed towards your beloved Russia.
