Even on the right the bias chart is bullshit. The Daily Mail is a disgusting rag and also very much not as right-wing as Breitbart.

Also Buzzfeed’s news is definitely more left than CNN.

Russia is going to use and betray the Kurds just like Trump (and by extension, the United States) has.

Also the Daily Beast is not pulling punches on what we've done, sadly I can't read the full article yet but the byline is...painfully apt.

As someone that works for the public library, displaying this chart is real loving dumb. It doesn't violate the hatch act or anything, but displaying anything that makes any kind of political judgement is like making GBS threads where you eat.

man gently caress these people, the PKK has been on the terrorist list for two administrations and most of the gear blowing them up has been sold to Turkey by us. Two months ago they were fine with Kurds dying by the bunch for being on the bad team, now we're 'abandoning our allies'.

There's no way to unfuck this situation even with Congress somehow stepping in. It would require a much larger presence to retake what was abandoned. Turkey just wiped out a whole bunch of Kurds and are still going for more. ISIS is possibly back in play and the Syrian Army is coming in hot with Russian support to establish control while maybe clashing with Turkey. Trump managed to make the situation so so so much worse.

yes, trump believes that the party selling an exported good pays the tariff, and not the party buying the imported good

It no different than people attacking Lindsay Graham for being supposedly gay. it's gross and the people doing it are telling on themselves.

I do admit that I take it kind of personally because it's an issue that's close to me. One of my immediate family members was born with only one working eye, so she's had to deal with people teasing her about it all through her life. I don't want to legitimate attacks on Rep. Crenshaw's situation, even indirectly by not speaking out whenever I see it happen. I'm not his biggest fan, but it's just not fair to him or anybody else in a similar situation to his.

The work that's been done promoting individuals like McKayla Wilkes has been super inspirational, and I hope to update the GoonPAC thread with information about what I get involved with in the future! It's been a slow process thus far, but I'll get there.

This guy is wrong, it’s easy to measure the damage. They’ll see how high the Kurds bodies will stack and Trump will have his wall

its a little too loving late. he will just veto it and even if he is forced, he wont enact it or its too late.

Sanctions aren’t the same as tariffs, they’re basically a request for the world financial system to blacklist certain Turkish businesses and persons. They can work if the world is on our side and allies trust us and agree that the sanctioned state was in the wrong. Now? Unclear.
