Discussion: WH: 'Ridiculous' To Suggest That Putin Is 'Happy' About Syria Withdrawal

“The idea that Putin is happy about this is ridiculous,” Sanders told reporters outside the White House Friday morning. “He’s not. This puts a greater emphasis and makes them have to actually step up and do something, and do more in the region. It puts them at a greater risk. So I think that’s just silly.”

I felt brain cells die off just reading that.

I’m going with @clauscph on this one. I don’t think that the Donald has the intellectual know how to plot and plan, he only reacts. Therefore Donald is easily manipulated. I think there are/were others around him that did the actual colluding.
It will be interesting to see the conclusion of this, not to see who was right, but to find out how long this was planned, how much effort it took to get the US in the position it finds it’s self in. I honestly believe that Trump has no idea that he has been played, nor does he understand national security, public duty, or self sacrifice. With that said Trump is public menace and public nuisance.

Yes

Sanders is ridiculous

Hasn’t hit her yet she has absolutely no credibility. The things she won’t do for $170,000 a year.

Dear Inspector General, are not daily gaslighting and lying to the American taxpayers who pay SH-S’s salary not the very definition of “waste, fraud, and abuse”? This has far surpassed the benefit of subjectivity.

I’m sure he thinks he’s a player. I know he’s a crook, the part where he’s in bed with despots who have interests inimical to America? That part is fuzzy to me. I can’t gauge how much of this is

because his loyalty is not to America,
because he’s a greedy thug who doesn’t see anything wrong w taking bribes
because he’s a shallow ignoramus who’s so out of his depth that he’s getting taken for everything but his socks.
I’m looking at it this way: Saudi Arabia MBS is off the hook, Turkey has a free hand against the Kurds, and Putin is unleashed. How much does it matter whether he was played or whether he’s a traitor?

Well he didn’t say “I didn’t collude.” He said there was “no collusion” by his administration.

We now know that is demonstrably false.

WE know. Already. Without any leaks from Mueller.

Ma Hamhocks is correct to a degree, Putin is not happy, per se, it is far more like ecstatic…

Up is down.

Black is white.

If Huckster Sanders says that it’s ridiculous to suggest that Putin is not happy about the US’ withdrawal from Syria, you can rest assured that Putin is absolutely fucking ecstatic about it.

Thank you for reminding me of my favorite Gil Scott-Heron lines. I love them for the absolute rage that they embody and I think they are appropriate for the times we find ourselves in.

Enough by Gil Scott-Heron

Because in the street there will only be black and white
There will be no Democrats, Republicans, Liberals, Conservatives, Moderates or any of the rest of that shit you have used
To make me forget to hate
There ain’t no enough, there ain’t no surrender
There is only plot and plan, move and groove, kill
There is no promised land, there is only the promise
The promise is my vow that until we have been nerve-gassed, shot down and murdered or done some of the same ourselves
Look over your shoulder motherfucker, I am coming

Of course he’s too stupid to plot and plan and scheme, but he was complicit in enabling Russian interference in the 2016 election. Don’t forget the infamous “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” He was inviting Russia to hack Clinton. The meeting at Trump Tower in June 2016 with all its Russian attendees is probably the most damning piece of evidence that there was in fact a conspiracy to throw the election his way.

He sure didn’t say “I didn’t conspire” with name anyone from Russia.

Oh I agree. But I don’t know if what Trump has done is to instigate this mess or was placed in the position with the promise of a fucking Tower in Moscow. And in the end I don’t think it matters to me if Trump was a mastermind or a cog in Putin’s plan, but it will matter to his worshipers. They will only believe Trump has sold our country out if they find detailed plans (smocking gun) in his possession as evidence. .

Fuck what trumpp worshipers believe. They swallowed the Kool Aid a long time ago and they are too small in number to prevent what’s coming at him from both the House and the special counsel’s investigation.

1960s? God I don’t want to revisit that. Looked it up 1970, close enough to the 60s. Early seventies were pretty much still the unrest of the 60s.

What other explanation could there possibly be for the constant and blatantly transparent lies?
