I wish we hadn't invaded Iraq, and thus created ISIS.

I agree. I wish we hadn't destroyed Libya after Quaddafi gave up his WMDs.

Didn't we just give Ukraine military assistance?  

Why does everybody want to sanction the crap out of Russia?

Because they are bullies. Especially to Ukraine

Doesn't matter why, the law says he has to do it.  He doesn't get to decide.

Senior FBI Officials Verify FISA Abuse Memo – ‘No Factual Inaccuracies’

https://thepoliticalinsider.com/senior-fbi-reviews-fisa-memo/

“If you’re interested whether or not the dossier was used in court proceedings, whether or not it was funded by political opponents, you’ll want to see the memo,” Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) said.

 

no shit...everyone already knows that. The idea that it is somehow a travesty of justice that a FISA warrant was issued for Carter Page, someone the FBI had suspected for years was compromised by the Russians is laughable.

While the previous administration was super-hawkish against Russia, which was odd to say the very least at the time.

I don't think McCabe is laughing right now.

No. I don’t expect he is...not sure how you connect IG investigation into Hillary Clinton emails and Carter Page FISA request...but we’ve seen right wing conspiracy threads baked...sorry...based...on less.

Because Trump sees him as a threat.

The FBI officials Trump has targeted are Andrew McCabe, the current deputy FBI director and who was briefly acting FBI director after Comey’s firing; Jim Rybicki, Comey’s chief of staff and senior counselor; and James Baker, formerly the FBI’s general counsel. Those same three officials were first identified as possible corroborating witnesses for Comey in a June 7 article in Vox. Comey confirmed in congressional testimony the following day that he confided in the three men.

[red321]

Pretty fucked up irony when you think about it. The Weiner laptop/Clinton emails and Comey last minute letter, which arguably could have been a turning point in the final run up to the election, is being repurposed in an attempt to provide cover for Trump.

Yeah, a hyper-partisan "report card."

Trump signed an EO to keep Gitmo open.  Fucking wonderful.

Republicans some how are the least fiscally responsible party.

The Iraqi army and the Kurds destroyed Isis.  

As long as the West continues to be accessory large scale slaughter in the Middle East.  We’re going to have problems.

The Iranians were a big part of the downfall of ISIS as well (much to the Saudis displeasure.)

If Trump doesn't want to enforce Russia sanctions, I think we should stop enforcing his election win

We always hear that conservatives aren't conservatives anymore. When exactly in this country's history was there not a pro-corporation party and a not quite but almost as pro-corporation party who gives lip service to the working classes?

I disagree with us being in the Middle East at all.  The only one I ever thought was valid was Afghanistan and we should have gotten out of there 15 years ago.

Yeah, bombing those brown people was the good war.

Yeah, that big, strong, disciplined Iraqi army destroyed ISIS. Isn't it neat they learned how to fight after TRUMP was elected.
