Trump says missiles ‘will be coming’ to Syria, taunts Russia for vowing to block them

 

“You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!” Trump wrote.

 

 

Someone should tell him about Saudi Arabia and all the arms we sold them.

 

The foreign policy of this country always has and always will be a complete fraud.

And a couple of hours after he sends out that tweet, he sends this one.

@realDonaldTrump

Much of the bad blood with Russia is caused by the Fake & Corrupt Russia Investigation, headed up by the all Democrat loyalists, or people that worked for Obama. Mueller is most conflicted of all (except Rosenstein who signed FISA & Comey letter). No Collusion, so they go crazy!

The walls are closing in. If he wasn't such a pompous lying prick, this would be hard to watch.

You just lost credibility with me if you honestly believe Hillary was against the TPP. She could not go down with the sinking ship.

 

If you do not understand that abolishing the TPP brings more Money and Jobs to our country than I don't know what to say to you? (SEE DOW, SEE LINKS)

 

You lost any credibility with me if you don't think the Clinton's history of spinelessness on popular/unpopular positions wouldn't cause her to dessert pretty much anything that wasn't polling well with the general public.

Bon voyage Paul Ryan, enjoy the private sector

 

Sucks we won't get a chance to vote him out. Would've been sweeter

I would side with ss2k5 here on Clinton and TPP. It was a pretty obvious response to backlash, though, it did side too heavily on IP laws on the US side. The annoying part about the push against TPP is the binary nature of either it happens and the TPP changes go into effect or it doesn't and *things stay as they are* and not the obvious China continues to broaden its influence with nearby countries.

 

It's not the end of the world, but I think things would have been better in 10 years with TPP than they will be without it.

Until he comes back to the public sector post-Trump.

The problem is you have to confront this eventually...the longer they get away with excessive tariffs, subsidies for state owned enterprises, intellectual property theft, transfer of tech then reverse-engineering it with a Chinese name...it will just get worse and worse.

 

Unless you just hope their debt issues and property bubbles will cause a repeat ofvJapan in the late 80?€™s/early 90?€™s.

 

Here?€™s just one blatant example.

Imagine how the designers of Land Rovers feel about this.

 

Or the fact 92% of MS Office isnt paid for or licensed due to piracy/copies.

Okay. So how does pulling in neighboring/orbit countries like Singapore/Japan/Vietnam into respecting more western-style IP law not...helping that situation?

Singapore will never side 100% with the US, nor will Vietnam because of their political system.

 

By pulling out of TPP, what leverage do we currently enjoy with Australia, S.Korea, Japan, Indonesia...? Just that we’re NOT China?

 

If you want to “win” a trade war, you really need those countries, as well as the EU bloc, India, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, etc., to all cooperate together instead of moving unilaterally.

Speaking of the TPP:

.@BenSasse tells reporters @POTUS looked at Larry Kudlow and said "Go get it done" with respect to rejoining TPP

Im reading that Pompeo's confirmation hearings are pretty bonkers so far

Irrespective of policy, is this type of malfeasance (if proven true) okay?

Among the allegations:

?€? Pruitt declined to use State Department-approved overseas hotels that already had security in place, preferring more expensive hotels with higher security costs.

?€? Pruitt requested aides to schedule official business in cities he wanted to visit.

?€? Pruitt directed staffers booking his travel on Delta to maximize his personal frequent flyer miles.

?€? Pruitt used the agency's scheduling director as a "personal real estate representative."

?€? Pruitt wanted staff to find reasons for him to visit his home state of Oklahoma.

?€? Pruitt spent more than the $5,000 allowed by law to decorate his office, including refinishing an antique desk, buying a standing desk and paying leases for art on loan from the Smithsonian.

It’s a measure of how vulnerable to compromise Trump is that he was effectively blackmailed for tens of thousands of dollars by a doorman with only a secondhand story.

Of course it's not. Republicans won't do anything about it, though.

Cohen supposedly tapes many of his conversations ironically, to eventually hold against others. I wonder if he taped any with Trump. He probably has some with Trumps former PR guy, John Baron, who sounds exactly like Trump, so the failing, fake news. NYT will probably confuse them if it comes to that.

Trump pardons scooter Libby.

 

This sends a pretty strong signal about what he'll do with other special counsel convictions.

It is funny the same day he tweets someone is a slime ball liar, he pardons someone who lied to the FBI.

Rosenstein is also definitely getting fired shortly

Message to Flynn, Manafort, Gates, Papadapolous....and JARED.

 

Get out of jail free card. Unless charges are also brought by States’ AG’s?

Lmao that the framers were dumb enough give the president absolute powers of pardon

It was a check on Congress who could pass unfair/dangerous laws and the judiciary that had to enforce those laws. But when it's used to pardon friends, yes, it's an abusive/dangerous power.

Just wait until he uses it on himself.
