Seems like Trump isn't a big fan of Turkey invading northern Syria.  One of his latest tweets:

"As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!). They must, with Europe and others, watch over..."

Sounds like he's the leader of a cult more than the leader of the USA. laugh  I wonder why he cares though.  Seems to me that he just got called back by his military staff about pulling out of Syria.

Is this even real life?

Since you so desperatly need to know:  I got it from an article in a reputable news outlet, which showed the whole tweet embedded in that same article.  Seems pretty real to me then.  It's a tweet from october 7th.

Not technically politics, but close enough these days.  I just read an article on a news outlet titled "The world is 'totally unprepared' for climate change in the mountains".  What a bunch of hookey.  The world will be just fine.  It's mankind that's fucked.

Trump intervening in the affairs of millitary "justice" to encourage the production of snuff (the snuff industry isn't an urban myth, but you need to be a soldier if you want easy access to it) is an interesting move. Nixon's intervention with the My Lai scapegoat made strategic sense. I suppose this is just a status display aimed at the Navy, then?

Whatever the motivation, it's one of his most disgusting actions. (Most of the questionable stuff he's done has really just been the continuance or ramping up of prior policies; this is new: America's last big snuff expose resulted in those at the lower levels being convicted and admonished by the politicians who paid them to do it).

The offices of some Brazillian production house that made a movie about Jesus in which he's gay got bombed with molotov cocktails a couple of days ago.  The attack has been claimed by some right wing extremist group.  Aside from the actual act of aggression, I think this is one of the best things to have happened in recent years.  Perhaps now that we've seen that there is such a thing as Christian terrorist groups we can all realize that Muslims in general are no more prone to bombing things than we Christians are and we can all stop living in fear for religious globalisation in our own communities.

Not that that will happen, but it'd be nice though.

Yeah, never understood how America(the world) is so anti Muslim as if they are the only ones capable of extreme terrorists acts. I've had American friends who make the claim that all Muslims are dangerous and terrorists.  They don't really have an response when I point out that the Oklahoma City bombing was done by a Catholic man.

I'm not sure that the rise of even more varities of right-wing extremist terrorism is a good thing; also unsure why the media likes to pretends that Islamic terrorism isn't a form of right-wing extremism lol.

But then again, I do think the rise of fake alternative voices in politics like Trump could lead to the potential for some semblance of democratic choice between parties, so I get where you're coming from...

Admit it, you just can't stand 5 word sentences and the simplicity they carry within them.  Unless you can utilize them to prove someone wrong by saying something like 'yes I can'.
