But I thought Donnie had so much bigly beautiful winning against ISIS?
More reason that we need the big, beautiful wall across the border with Mexico. Because, …something, something America First! Make America Great Again!
Kind of an obscure musical, but really really good. This one particular song defines Trump and the wall better than anything I have ever heard. The guy with the gravelly voice is Hades, just to give it another level.
After reading this, I’m reminded of the media’s irresponsibility in covering the ISIS threat. Media simply failed to report that ISIS was et another offshoot of Bush’s decision to fight a war in Iraq, and that Obama was working with Arab and Kurdish groups to push them back. They never provided any perspective that fighting terrorist groups takes time, and they often strike when cornered. They never provided any perspective as to who the different players were in Syria, as well as the issues among the Turks, Kurds, and Iraqi Sunnis, Shiites, the Russians and the Iranians. If they had done so, people would’ve understood how hard a job it is and would’ve known that they needed someone smart like HRC to continue what Obama was doing to manage a difficult situation. Rather, the framed ISIS as a new age terror movement that was going to infiltrate your neighborhoods, without any context at all. The reason they did that is because Trump and the GOP made ISIS a big deal in their campaigns. The reporting was driven by political opportunism, not by substance.
As soon as Trump got into the WH, the media was dead silent on ISIS. Obama’s strategy had been fully implemented by McMaster (after some attempt by Flynn to muck it up) and ISIS suffered a tactical defeat. Yet, the idea that ISIS as a fundamentalist idea or organization was dead was clearly premature. Today’s attack proves that.
No explanation that isn’t bumper-sticker pithy, er, simplistic, will make an impact in the culture we are living in now. If you can’t explain it in fifteen seconds or five words, you’re done.
