A) Trump taking credit for an operation whose success was likely ensured at least in part by the sacrifices of the Kurds is repulsive.

B) Stork's assertion that the inability to eradicate extremist ideology with military force justifies quietism is most certainly absurd. I provided an obvious historical example to expose this absurdity. As they say in the White House: Deal with it.

It's actually the other way around. You were almost right. Next time you'll get it correct


There was a time when JORR dismissed the accomplishment of Obama killing Bin Laden by saying "Anyone would have done that" and now he's praising the death of a terrorist very few people know and trumpeting the success of a good economy that Trump inherited. Of course he voted for Obama twice and would NEVER support Trump. He's not a supporter, remember?




*I am not calling JORR a racist.


Darn right! JORR is just parroting right-wing talking points because he's a champion of objectivity!

And your example was awful. We did not defeat an ideology in WW2. We defeated Germany and the Axis Powers. There were and still are self-described Nazis or people who have similar views today.

You do your fellow service members a dishonor supporting this guy. It’s not a republican vs Democrat thing. It’s a moral question and you’re failing.

If I "dismissed" the killing of bin Laden, it's because taking out one guy isn't going to end the philosophy behind Islamic terror. And killing this guy is no different. It's just funny to see people that hate Trump so much they're angry that he killed a serial rapist and murderer.

And no one buys the canard that Trump inherited this economy. Obama himself mocked Trump with the "magic wand" statement and suggested this kind of growth was impossible.

I've never said I don't support Trump. I'm American. I support the American president whether I like that person or not. I said I would never vote for Trump. But there are certain Democratic candidates that may force me to reconsider that.

What are the "right wing talking points" I'm parroting? You seem really right wing with your sudden credulity for "intelligence community" narratives. Is it your objectivity, left wing bonafides, or simple Trump hatred that has caused you to become a supporter of secret courts?

I'm not angry about a terrorist who was responsible for AMERICAN deaths being killed. I just wanted to poke you early on a Sunday morning about some inconsistencies.

The data says that the president inherited a good economy and by some measures (stock market) it's really taken off and by others (jobs) the trend has been the same or it's slightly worse if you really want to nitpick.

I always want the country to do well so in a sense I don't want any president to "fail". I'm not going to spend 4 to 8 years praising/defending a guy who disgusts me though.

I’m probably not going to vote for a democrat but I’m definitely not enough of a shitbag to vote for Trump. And to portray him as pro military is just a fucking joke.

You have your opinion about him. I disagree with it to some extent. That doesn't make me a political supporter of his.

But I think anyone who believes in the system of government that has worked pretty well for 240 years should be far more concerned with what has occurred and continues to occur with regard to the attempts made to nullify a fair and common U.S. presidential election and/or undermine the person elected and his administration than they are with that person who will be president for eight years at most and who is consistently checked (sometimes unconstitutionally) by Congress and the judiciary.

That's funny.

McCain as a veteran? Good guy. As a politician? Utter failure and disgrace.
Dodged the draft? Many people dodged the draft- Clinton, Biden, Ali, etc.; hope you don't support anyone who did that. He received a medical waiver-better than BJ Clinton fleeing to Canada.
Trump as an embarrassment? Not even close; he represents the party I've wanted to see-conservative, not fake-ass RINOs. I grew up listening to Rush Limbaugh- his views and takes on political issues are what I've wanted in a Republican president- a fighter who doesn't bow to the mainstream media and their lapdogs in the Democratic party. I served during the Bush terms and saw the left call him Hitler and a dictator (still using those terms today/big surprise); he never fought back and it pissed me off.
After watching the previous President apologize and bend over to foreign nations (Hi Iran!), its nice seeing someone putting America first and holding other nations accountable. I used to think Jimmy Carter was the worst President in modern times; nope, its Obama (btw, I reenlisted during Obama's first term/country first, politics second).

You are entitled to your views (as am I), but you'll never hear me saying you're doing a dishonor to me and other veterans who support Trump.

Have a blessed day.

If you put America first I don’t see how you can equate that with supporting a president who openly asks for foreign countries to interfere in our elections, disrespects guys who have spent their life serving our country like McCain and Mattis, and is a fucking embarrassment every time he talks and tweets.

I believe you are putting politics first, country second.

Here’s John Boehner, the likely speaker if Republicans take the House, offering his plans for Obama’s agenda: “We're going to do everything — and I mean everything we can do — to kill it, stop it, slow it down, whatever we can.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell summed up his plan to National Journal: “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”

Republicans have premised much of their whole campaign on one idea — stop Obama — and it’s put them on the cusp of taking the House and scoring big gains in the Senate, so there’s no reason to quit now.


I wasn't here in 2010...Was JORR preaching the same sermon against the GOP then?

Do you really not understand the difference? I have no problem at all with Democrats trying to make a Republican president a one-termer or vice versa. That's not what's happening here.

In the long history of stupid Nazi comparisons this is up there. Fighting an ideology just means endless war.

It's amazing what Trump ignites in people's souls. If the Democrats don't figure that out, they'll never figure out anything.

the Republican plot to obstruct President Obama before he even took office, including secret meetings led by House GOP whip Eric Cantor (in December 2008) and Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (in early January 2009) in which they laid out their daring (though cynical and political) no-honeymoon strategy of all-out resistance to a popular President-elect during an economic emergency. “If he was for it,” former Ohio Senator George Voinovich explained, “we had to be against it.”

Vice President Biden told me that during the transition, he was warned not to expect any bipartisan cooperation on major votes. “I spoke to seven different Republican Senators who said, ‘Joe, I’m not going to be able to help you on anything,’ ” he recalled. His informants said McConnell had demanded unified resistance. “The way it was characterized to me was, ‘For the next two years, we can’t let you succeed in anything. That’s our ticket to coming back,’ ” Biden said. The Vice President said he hasn’t even told Obama who his sources were, but Bob Bennett of Utah and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania both confirmed they had conversations with Biden along those lines.

David Obey, then chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, met with his GOP counterpart, Jerry Lewis, to explain what Democrats had in mind for the stimulus and ask what Republicans wanted to include. “Jerry’s response was, ‘I’m sorry, but leadership tells us we can’t play,’ ” Obey told me. “Exact quote: ‘We can’t play.’ What they said right from the get-go was, It doesn’t matter what the hell you do, we ain’t going to help you.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell summed up his plan to National Journal: “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”

Republicans have premised much of their whole campaign on one idea — stop Obama — and it’s put them on the cusp of taking the House and scoring big gains in the Senate, so there’s no reason to quit now.


I wasn't here in 2010...Was JORR preaching the same sermon against the GOP then?


Do you really not understand the difference? I have no problem at all with Democrats trying to make a Republican president a one-termer or vice versa. That's not what's happening here.

MANY loons on the Right claimed he should be tried for treason and hanged.

So...please.

Really? Can you post a link to that or is it just a fever dream?

Look, I don't know about you, but I don't mind rough politics. What I don't want is a network of spies and spooks selecting our leaders. I kind of like the voting thing we've been doing.

And I'll say again for the umpteenth time, if you think this is typical partisan politics based on red and blue and D and R and donkeys and elephants, you're sadly mistaken. Here is a leading Conservative voice actually calling for a military coup:

How the fuck can anyone take Rush Limbaugh seriously, much less want his "views" in a President?

I’ve thought about it plenty. I’m pretty assured it’s the correct thought.

This thread has it all. Trump derangement. Accusing people of being Nazi sympathizers over the lack of Trump derangement.


A) Trump taking credit for an operation whose success was likely ensured at least in part by the sacrifices of the Kurds is repulsive.

B) Stork's assertion that the inability to eradicate extremist ideology with military force justifies quietism is most certainly absurd. I provided an obvious historical example to expose this absurdity. As they say in the White House: Deal with it.


And your example was awful. We did not defeat an ideology in WW2. We defeated Germany and the Axis Powers. There were and still are self-described Nazis or people who have similar views today.


Good point. But that's true of any military intervention--they're always fights against people. So you've just further illustrated the absurdity of your original claim.

It's amazing what Trump ignites in people's souls. If the Democrats don't figure that out, they'll never figure out anything.


Hanging around here about three years tells you all you need to know about anyone.
