lol at people hoping the Republicans have a civil war while they control all three branches of government.

why would they have a civil war? they'll simply hash out a couple of deals where each side gets something they want and everything will be honky dory for them.

the base will justify whatever the administration does, and any flip flopping will be more proof of Trump's genius.

The United States has never been on friendly terms with Baathist Syria. Not under Assad, not under his father. That sort of precedent is something the detail-oriented Obama cares about : the Syrian revolt looked like a chance to dislodge a long-term adversary at very low cost. Trump doesn't give a poo poo and has the benefit of not weighing in until the situation was already FUBAR.

Just wanna throw out there that Obama did not seize any opportunity in Syria and repeatedly veto'd plans put forth by the CIA, Pentagon, whatever agency that would have undermined the regime or boosted the rebels. After the first year or two of doing this US credibility in the conflict was thoroughly shot and what support Obama allowed to the rebels was mostly from other Arab states with some minimal (and pathetic) involvement from the US. This obviously is not the case with the Kurds, but the Kurds were never in direct revolt against Assad and even then our support coincides only with the advent of ISIS and the Kurds being a useful tool to project our influence, and of course, protect Obama on the domestic front.

I'm sure Obama would have been happy to see Assad go (although likely worried about the aftermath) and enjoyed seeing the Iranians and Russians bleed themselves and their economy (in the context of the Ukrainian partition and its subsequent sanctions), but he never took an active role in making it happen due to the domestic politics surrounding the issue. It could very easily be argued that Obama's accord with Iran, which give them hundreds of billions of dollars in their most desperate hour, was his most impactful action in the conflict and likely ceded them the war (or allowed them to dictate the terms of its end as opposed to a negotiated settlement). Those funds coincided with the cementing of the Syrian, Iranian and Russian alliance that saw a massive surge in Iranian proxy and regular troop deployment (guess what paid for it), massive aerial involvement by Russia (guess what paid for it) as well as a general armament (guess what paid for it).

So I guess what I'm saying is that Obama handled Syria so poorly that Trump aligning with Russia and Iran to end the conflict is honestly the only move forward.

Side note: Any winding down of US influence in the global economy will be matched by Chinese asserting itself as well as a potential new trade union between Russia, Iran and the Arab world. Another reason why the more short sighted members of the Russian and Chinese power structure must be delighted by recent events.

RUSSIA HACKED THE ELECTION is dumb.

BENGHAZI EMAILS is dumb.

So in this case, yes, both sides are dumb as gently caress.

Also how can you defend Americans after they voted DONALD J TRUMP I HAD FAITH YOU MOTHER FUCKERS!!!!

We can debate what role Russia had in the releasing of the information, but honestly from optics, substance and motive (as well as our own intelligence communities assessment) I think it's clear Russia played a role in the election, he was openly encouraged by Donald Trump and the media were their typical useless selves and gladly let themselves be used for ratings. I believe this is the 'tat' for the 'tit' the Russians saw when we opened up centers to advance democracy in Russia and encouraged (McCain, of course) protests against the Russian government. This was one of the triggers for Putin's return to power and one of his first set of actions was to dismantle foreign funded political activity it deemed hostile. With Trump in power Putin will be able to cash in his chips from the Crimea to Syria, elevate Russia's place in the emerging multi polar world while diminishing the United States at the same time. A foreign power meddling in domestic politics is a classic sign of a nation's decline and our society must be vigilant in defending itself against this corrosive and corrupt influence.


As much joy as I took from watching the same people who created the most advanced and pervasive police states in human history have their own turn at the privacy guillotine and all their communications dumped into the open (how I :lol:'d) it is beyond dangerous what Russia pulled, how the media played along and how big of an impact is actually had. What happened was the equivalent of Watergate not because of what Nixon ordered but rather when the Nixon tapes were released and the true inner workings of the Clinton administration became open and obvious. Items such as Clinton orchestrating her connections in the media to promote Trump as a way of luring the GOP into self destructing were so cynical, short sighted, selfish and loving evil that it permanently killed any loyalty I could have had to Clinton even if she hadn't handed the world's oldest democracy into the hands of an open tyrant and demagogue. The knowledge is useful in that it openly identifies at least how deeply corrupted our political apparatus has become in the past generation. Even in that analysis, however, there is now the dangerous precedent that a foreign power can hack one party and, due to partisan division, the other party will not stand in unison to both condemn and counter the intrusion into our body politic.

People hate on suburbs, but if you slapped solar panels on every single house and started gardens in every back and front yard you'd essentially have created a community that produces its own food and energy with a stable enough population to both defend itself against attacks and secure outlying regions such as farms to flesh out its agricultural capacity. Every home could become a small warehouse for storing goods for months if not years at a time. Anchor the suburban communities with either natural fortifications such as mountains or man made ones such as cities with apartment blocks or other heavy structures and you'd have a great position to ride out the End Days. You might even have a chance at real democracy if the population isn't too dense and resources aren't scarce.

Every yard a farm.
Every basement a granary.
Every roof a power plant.
Every garage an arsenal.
Every home a fortress.
Every citizen a soldier.
Every bird call an ambush.
Every street a graveyard.
Every corpse mound a good day.
Every slaughter a feast.
Every victory an expansion.
Every hill a new horizon.
Every well poisoned.
Every church burned.
Every government overthrown.
Every city a ruin.
Every shadow an enemy.
Every day your last.
Every thrill now dead.
Every memory now gone.
Every step a collapse.

This is...2018.

look at how tepid the GOPe pushback is on anything

to paraphrase van jones the other day "if a democrat wants to spend money to improve the country it's socialism, but if a republican does it it's patriotism"

It's an open question what a massive influx of stimulus would do to the economy when it is relatively healthy. We need better wealth distribution, reduced working hours and benefit revamps to stabilize the economy, not a tax cut masquerading as a stimulus plan (This is what Trump is actually proposing). He's not even proposing the thing that would -actually- be useful, which is massive structural spending in infrastructure to revamp our civilization to fit in with the 21st century.

Has anyone else noticed we're basically reliving the primaries era?

Election: Iowa
Now: Primary time when Trump was inevitable
Inauguration: GOP Convention
Khantroversey era: When he actually has to try to do the job
Shitshow meltdown era: the next 3 years where his administration is loving terrible at everything and everyone from the news media to the GOP can't even support him verbally (the GOP will still support his death camps bill though)

God help me if this leads to an implausible re-election.

Even the news coverage right now feels like that same primary-mostly-over time when everyones like "uh, have you noticed this bad retarded thing he's done?" and everyones like yeaaah but there's nothing we can do lets give him a chance.



I absolutely believe the theory will hold too. The inauguration will be a gawdy shitshow where he's at the height of his media powers and popularity and then minutes later he's going to end up with some 9-11/Katrina/Foreign Crisis on his desk that he handles just as bad as the Khantroversey and/or Pussygate and we're all going to be sitting around wondering if we can impeach him, the GOP will disavow him while not actually doing anything about him and he'll do some live TV address where he makes a weirdo apology for bombing Iran on accident or some poo poo.

True up til the inauguration! Not sure if you noticed but Bannon has been writing all of Trump's speeches lately and Bannon is a very good writer (it's why he's dangerous if you don't like fascism :lol:). Trump will go up to the podium and do a great job. After that point it all depends on how tight a grip Bannon gets on Trump.
