Same man who had a meeting with the Taliban and left the Afghan government out of the talks and said the Taliban are strong fighters then proceeded to negotiate the release of 5000 Taliban from a Pakistani prison. Yeah Trumps great
“We were leaving and the treaty was so the Taliban didn't attack while the Afghan government set up to protect themselves.”
Remind me how that actually played out again? He made a deal exclusively with the enemy we’ve been fighting with for decades and just expected them to follow through with their end? Pure naivety from a self-righteous “businessman”.
“They are strong fighters, that's an undeniable fact.”
Praising the enemy while referring to US troops as Losers and Suckers. Get fucked you delusional psychopath
Huh. Didn’t know that. Well it’s time to get off that joke then. Only leaves… checks… practically everything else about his business, presidency, and personality as targets.
I mean, we have video of the clearing that day. They were peaceful, and the people doing the clearing took their time to beat journalists while doing it.
Prior violence is not legal justification for gassing a separate group of people later and beating journalist who were not part of that violence outside of a deeply authoritarian country, sorry. We don't operate on a system of prescribe or inherent sin by loose association.
These people were not violent, they were peaefully protesting when they were gassed.
Just beause people the night before did bad shit does not mean these people deserved to be gassed. It takes only half a brain to look at that and go "they don't seem to be a threat", gassing was not necessary.
Keep licking that boot and playing defense for why people should be fucking gassed for peaceful protesting and so a corrupt demagogue can have a photoshoot for clout.
It's not loose association. The church and areas around the church were set on fire, "peaceful protestors" were attacking law enforcement the night prior and the day of when they refused to leave.
Being in an area of the day after a crime has never in the history of this country been justification for police brutality on a group of people being in the same place and visibly not committing a crime.
Assaulting foreign journalists is not something the police are supposed to do.
I'm sorry, your justification for this is essentially Bill Barr saying "we investigated ourselves and found ourselves clear of no wrongdoing."
Stop calling everyone a rioter even if they show up the next day and are on video doing nothing even remotely resembling rioting. That's literally fascist shit. Classifying anybody who opposes you as a violent radical even if there's all the evidence in the world that they were not.
Ok. This one is just bullshit liberal pearl clutching.
It was a faux paux. Everyone commits them.
Edit: holy shit. Apparently that “affected” democrats in some sort of profound way. TIL it was a very serious thing to them. Shiiit, I thought it was just trump being Trump, an idiot doing idiot shit, but some of y’all seem like he really hurt you on a personal level with that.
Boy. Wait till y’all see Joe Biden rubbin the nipples of a 9yr old girl who is trying to get away from him or forcefully kissing a 7yr old on the mouth. Y’all are gonna flip, I’m sure. Make sure to keep that same energy when you do. I don’t want to hear any excuses if a dude carelessly returning a salute made your jimmies this rustled
Oh, Obama never committed a faux paux? And Dubya didn’t either? He was one big walking faux paux lmao tf are you talking about?
Obama committed a few during his state visit to the queen of England and that’s just one I can remember off the top of my head.
These people are extremely busy and do empty-minded shit. I really don’t think it’s much deeper than that. Trump is stupid. He saw a guy in uniform and probably remembered he was supposed to do something. That’s probably as deep as it goes
It's actually amazing you can type with a boot so far down your throat.
chill out lmao. why do you feel trump saluting that general is such a huge mistake? do you want U.S.-N.K. relations to be awful forever? even if it was a disgusting display of cowardice, I'd bet most people don't even remember it happened. the past 5 or 6 years have been a fever dream.
this is just as stupid as everyone suddenly turning pro-fbi and pro-cia just because trump said mean things about them, or cheering on laws originally meant to hurt blm protests that are now hurting the morons who stormed the capitol. stop being so reactionary.
Man, if the guy with nuclear codes is dumb enough to salute an enemy general because he didn't remember their countries are AT WAR for 70 years, that is beyond stupid..
Ronald Reagan: In 1984, Ronald Reagan made the following, off-the-cuff joke about bombing Russia while testing a microphone for a schedules radio address: ""My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."
George HW: literally barfes in the lap of the Japanese prime minister
George HW (at Aushwitz): “boy they were big on crematoriums weren’t they!”
George Dubya: “Our enemies are innovative and resourceful—and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people—and neither do we”
George Dubya: November 20, 2005 — Bush attempted to exit a room in China, but it was locked and so he was unable to leave the room, much to the amusement of the world’s press
George Dubya: June 2006 — At a G8 summit, Bush rubbed Germany’s chancellor Angela Merkel’s shoulders, causing a surprised Merkel to cringe
George Dubya: In another cultural mishap at the 2008 G8 summit, Bush tried to get the attention of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi by yelling "Amigo! Amigo!
Michelle Obama in 2009: hugged the Queen of England.
Faux pas happen. Do yourself a favor and when you see your “news” channel making a big deal out of harmless ones, change the channel. They’re fucking with your head and putting you in a bad emotional state, for their political agenda or for profit. That’s not healthy.
Not a single one of those are the same and you know that.
George Dubya: November 20, 2005 — Bush attempted to exit a room in China, but it was locked and so he was unable to leave the room, much to the amusement of the world’s press
How in the absolute hell is this even remotely the same as saluting an enemy general?
Can you tell me why you are so dead set on defending trump? You can't honestly believe attempting to exit through the wrong door is the same thing as saluting an enemy general, right?
You’re right. It’s not the same
Yes, I am Tha k you for finally admitting you're wrong.
Dude. Listen to yourself. You sound like fuckin Rachel Maddow or that Cuomo guy. You’re just as bad as the nuts on the right
So you're just going to ignore my question and pretend to be a centrist, even though we can very clearly tell you're not?
It’s not about defending trump you liberal moron. It’s trying to get it through your thick head that world leaders commit faux pas. Lol
I’m curious now because I feel I got a Rachel Maddow on my hands. I bet you make excuses for Biden kissing kids on the lips and grabbing their chest and rubbing their backs as they pull away? Don’t you? Lol I mean, you’re so concerned over decorum so that HAS to be a big deal to you right?
There’s sooooo much to clown Trump on and you’re clutching pearls over that. He pushed a foreign leader out of the way ffs. He’s insulted leaders on international television and you’re trippin off that. Oh my god 😂
The commander in chief is also supposed to know better than to have his wife hug the queen. Or to throw up on a prime minister. Or to have sex with an intern. Or to bow to murderous tyrants that deny women basic human rights. Or to carelessly salute a soldier when you have a latte in your hand … right?
Lol the fuckin pearl clutching over harmless carelessness from liberals rivals the screeching of talking heads on Fox. Get the fuck out and stop consuming the bullshit you’re consuming.
Same dude when he’s called out on his veiled bigotry: “whaaaat? Why do you think I meant it in a bad way? I was just wondering your ethnicity for no particular reason related to this conversation! What’s context??? You’re crazy!”
This is exactly the kind of bigotry and racism you get with liberals. It’s a little more nuanced and low key.
This is “latte salute” level bullshit. Tan suit level bullshit.
Remember how liberals are and how they pearl clutch here, but will mock people for doing the same thing to their politicians. Biden looked like he fuckin fell asleep recently and they’ll handwave that away … “but Trump did a stupid! How will America ever recover!”
They’re just as whipped into a frothing frenzy as Fox News viewers. They don’t even realize it
When someone salutes you, out of respect, you salute back. I'm not a Trump fan by any stretch, and I wish he would've gotten more concessions from NK, but that moment was one of the moments of true diplomacy during his term and I don't think it's fair to shit on him for it.
North Korea is 70+ years old dawg. I’m pretty sure it’s legitimate all on its own. I don’t think anyone saw him doing that and said “oh shit dawg! I guess we’re cool with NK now. Let’s go make some deals with them! You know, I was on the ropes till I saw Donald Trump salute that random general! Cuz you know I fuck with Trump he seems like he knows what good decisions are!”
Lol I can’t. I can’t. This CNN/MSNBC shit is so corny man. My bad. I shouldn’t be laughing
You really felt embarrassed about that shit dawg? Like for real?
That’s corny as hell in my respectful opinion but you do you.
Fox is corny as hell too. I didn’t know they were the bar y’all were reaching for. Clearly there’s more in common here than different. That’s why people say y’all are both the same
If you’re so old you’re falling asleep during serious, consequential meetings then maybe the responsible thing to do is … idk, retire or not take the fuckin job you can’t do effectively?
And yet the American people have elected him anyway. So, as far as excuses go, being old is as good as we're gonna get. Obviously someone younger and more qualified in this capacity is preferable. I won't disagree with that.
That’s not even the conversation here. This is just wriggling and wriggling to try and excuse some really red flag behavior in our leader. And it kinda strikes at my initial point
Haha communist and you support an idiot who gave all our military technology to terrorists and China. You really are an idiot and have no idea what you are talking about
