His reelection campaign is spending an unending amount of money on primetime ads, ratcheted up since impeachment announcements. They're running between boner pill commercials on the MLB playoff games as well.

Except Biden isn't the Democratic nominee; Trump IS the Republican nominee. Running these ads can only help Democrats' chances by making the nominee someone other than Joe Biden. He's welcome to waste as much money on them as he wants, as far as I'm concerned.

This is pretty depressing news, I've been down all day. This isn't going to stop with Syria, once Turkey is finished a genocide there they will turn it internally again as they've been thirsty to do for decades. I travelled across turkey from east to west on foot / hitchhiking some years back, and it was both amazing and eye-opening.

East of roughly Salinurfa there are very few Turks outside of the military / police, almost everyone is Kurdish. The hospitality was outstanding, everyone was incredibly friendly (especially when they discovered I was Canadian), and I never felt unsafe. I witnessed a whole lot of police brutality and military crackdown there, as this was back during a PKK resurgence, which was quite shocking as a sheltered young westerner.

Then I got to western turkey and ran into actual turks, who universally were assholes who either tried to rob me, tried to blatantly overcharge me for goods or services (above and beyond haggling), tried to trap me in carpet shops, or who in one case threw trash at me while I was hitchhiking.

The world would be better off if we had never brought Turkey into NATO and had instead militarily backed the PKK when it had actual strength in the 80's and 90's. gently caress Turkey, gently caress their love of genocide. :colbert:

It's funny cuz while you could conceivably make an argument that Trump has some savvy at a few niche things, no one ever anywhere has ever thought of calling the man wise. Whatever precisely wisdom is, Trump is an embodiment of the opposite of it.

Such a weird statement for him to make

Donald Trump is a very stupid person whom an entire political party has decided to keep in power. Because they are afraid of their own racist voters that love their racist Trump. Power is relative in this kind of situation.

If by "they" you mean republicans in power, than no, they're not afraid of their racist voters. Their racist voters came out and primaried out maybe less racist republican candidates to get them in to power because said republicans produced racist messaging and then the racist voters came out again and voted them in to power in the general. They love their racist voters.

It's ridiculous to think that during the attempted coup, one of the opposition fighters had Erdogan's plane but didn't shoot because his plane was going, "no I'm totally a civilian jetliner don't shoot me."

It really does seem that finding himself in a situation where he has all the cards and can't lose, Trump is doing his damnedest to go down in defeat. I still don't think he's in danger of being convicted in the senate, but let no one say he isn't trying his best.

Ex-Bush aide brutally trashes Trump kids’ corruption: ‘There are bivalves with more self-awareness’
rawstory.com/October 5, 2019'“Well, when you see poor Eric and poor Don Jr., you realize there are bivalves with more self-awareness than the Trump children,” said Frum. “The biggest Trump family scandal, Trump next-generation scandal is one that didn’t quite come off. In the period of the transition, between the election and inauguration, Jared Kushner met with senior officers of the Anbang financial concern in China, with a view to get hundreds of millions of dollars to rescue his desperately failing project on Fifth Avenue. That was exposed in time by The New York Times, and so the deal did not happen. But this was not a $50,000 payday. This was not a $50 million payday. This was a multiple hundreds of millions of dollars payday.”'

Went in for the headline. Stuck around to read the envy. Even made it through the "Eat Each Other, Fuckers" dessert to watch the "We Laid These Foundations, and Now it's The House of Trump?!" morality after dinner play. Stars given for bashing the Hunter Biden non-story and the final line, "...But the Trump family is so far and away the most corrupt in American presidential history that you really can’t think of who’s in second place.”

It could be this, but it's not a huge US presence and no one was expecting something like this so there's not a ton of coverage of it. It's going to take Turkey at least a day to move ground troops in (if that's their intention) and I wouldn't expect a ton of media coverage or reporting before tomorrow.
