    I’ve said this before but I think that is one of the few good things of Trumps presidency. People are paying attention to a lot of the corruption of the office unlike they ever did before. Only problem with that though is they’re acting like the corruption just started — which makes me less hopeful that people will hold future presidents to the same high standard. People on Twitter raging over sending troops to SA (rightfully so), but for whatever reason ignoring the fact that the US has backed SA for decades and it’s only gotten stronger since Baby Bush — which includes Obama bending the knee. Trump is a problem. But this isn’t a Trump problem. These issues run so much deeper than most want to discuss. It’s far too easy to simply deflect everything to Trump (even when it’s fair). In the current climate that is where the discussion ends. We’re not going to get to the root of these issues or come up with real solutions if we just blame Trump and move on.

    El Camino was awesome. Like an epic long episode of BB. Masterfully done. I know they've been making BCS, but it's like they didn't skip a beat. Picked up right where they left off without a single misstep really IMO.

    Watched El Camino last night. As an epilogue to Breaking Bad, it was absolutely perfect. Loved it. MAJOR SPOILERS DO NOT CLICK

    Dude are you serious right now? If we should have never gone it hit know that we're committed, why did you say we should take them out not even 2 years ago? And don't act like Trump is the first to do it. Jesus Christ he is not the first evil guy on the fucking planet. Obama was buddies with Erdogan. We backed Hussein only to leave him alone and kill him later. Osama same shit. Every president in this countrys history has backed shit leaders. God damn. It's fucking stupid. You wanted to pull out before you went full blown anti Trump, now that he takes them out of combat theatre you hate it. Whatever dude, I'm done with this bullshit. Make up your fucking mind. Is it good or is it bad. And if you don't like troops taken out of combat your kind of a dick since you're not paying the price.

    Years from now, History books will be unkind to Trump for obvious reasons. Here's to hoping they're as unkind to all the petulant, whiny, violent protesters we see in this country these days. But of course, they'll likely be portrayed as heroes, even if they're all cowards. That poor bastard who had someone spit in his face in Minneapolis. I'd love to give him 5 minutes alone with the prick who spit on him. He'd likely be kind to the asshole, mind you, but our world could use a little more frontier justice. I mean, seriously, these protesters can't even articulate what they're upset about. A good 99% of them are just sheep following the shepherd of fabricated, practically non-existent problems, or false equivalences, such as LGBTQ people facing discrimination similar to black people in the past (yawn--it's not similar. We all know that). We're seeing resistance mostly to the absolutely, 100% crazy elements of their group (which consists of a very small portion of LGBTQ people). Take the forthcoming SCOTUS decision regarding trans discrimination. One of the cited cases is a funeral home being unwilling to let a man wear dresses while at work, looking strange and out of place while a grieving family is trying to focus on final care for their deceased loved one. When the employee refused to comply with wearing sex-appropriate clothing, they fired him. And rightfully so. You can do and be whatever you want on your own time. If your workplace has reasonable expectations of you, you comply or deal with the consequences.

    IT'S NOT OUR FIGHT. We have been paying and equipping them for years. Here's what I don't get. For years people said get out of these wars, you yourself said it, and now that we are doing just that it's bad because... TRUMP!!!!!! We have been doing Europe and the toilet of the world a solid for years, it's time they deal with their own mess. And where were all these pussy ass kurd defenders who were protesting the Iraq war, TWICE, when they were being slaughtered by Sadam? That's right, no where. Now that Trump did it, it's a problem. The fuck outta here. If you support the troops, bring them back to their families.

    We told them it was our fight since it was against ISIS. We told them to take down their defenses, that we would handle Turkey on the diplomatic front. Now they are being murdered in the streets. https://imgur.com/gallery/0qIQt1S We never should have gone in in the first place, but once you have and you have committed to these people, you cannot simply lie to these people and back out like this. This is mass murder at this point and we're just standing by and letting it happen because Trump has been paid off. They are literally executing Kurdish fighters in the street. Trump said if Turkey went too far he would crash their economy. Apparently going full Daenarys Targaryen isnt enough to cause him to act. Also Trump is NOT taking the soldiers back. He just moved them because Saudi Arabia is paying him.

    He. is. not. bringing. them. home. He literally talked to Erdogan and moved 50-60 troops out of the way so that his little buddy- let's not forget Istanbul is the home of Trump Towers- can murder a bunch of people we used to take down ISIS and now have tossed aside. They were not going to die, they were not in grave danger, they were helping the Kurds hold a bunch of ISIS prisoners. Turkey would not have dared to attack as long as the US was there. You appear to be just fine with lying to our allies and setting them up for Turkey to murder. I'm not. I don't know how this is so hard to grasp. We got them to lower their defenses- this was purely Trump, btw, not anyone else, because we asked them in August of 2019- and then backed out and let Turkey kill them. You cannot operate that way in the world. No one will trust our word again. Nor should they. How come every single time I point out Trump doing something you have to bring up someone else? Whataboutism at its finest. News flash: Obama isn't President. Hillary isn't President. I am concerned with what Trump is doing, not with what they are doing. We should not be involved nearly as much militarily in the world as we are. A) That does not mean we should be involved literally nowhere and should be purely isolationist. Such a thing is a fantasy in the modern world. So just because in general I support removing our troops does not mean every single time we do so, its a good idea or the right way to do it, and such a counter argument is so incredibly stupid I am forced to believe you are intentionally setting up a strawman. B) When we have already promised an ally we will handle another nation so that they are not attacked, and said ally should take down their defenses in order to promote peace in the region, we cannot then backtrack on our word and back out, leaving them to die. It looks to them and the rest of the world that we were in cahoots with Turkey the whole time and set them up to die. That is the action of scum, not the action of the US. I am anti-Trump because Trump makes a mockery of this country on a daily basis. His actions betraying the Kurds is just more of the same.
