Trump 2018 - Road to Midterms/Nuclear War

That’s yer auld da defeated Isis.

Aren’t the US still leaving thousands of militia and defense contractors there for decades as a bulwark against Iran?

ypg really should have cut a deal with the syrian government when they had the chance. the kurds may well be fucked here :frowning:

“Trump’s tsunami of untruths helped push the count in The Fact Checker’s database past 5,000 on the 601st day of his presidency. That’s an average of 8.3 Trumpian claims a day, but in the past nine days — since our last update — the president has averaged 32 claims a day… "

Is he telling the families of dead soldiers that they are coming home?

NGO’s supporting US agencies bringing water and sanitation back to the ruined town of Raqqa were told on Wednesday morning to make plans for rapid departure, said Nicholas Heras, a fellow at the Centre for a New American Security.

why is the town ruined, guardian journo? who ruined the town? who did it? how many non-combatants died? shame we do not have the time to explain these things but oh well i guess.

i was on about not having time to explain within the article itself, it annoyed me that there wasn’t more detail there. few people will care enough to go through all the articles you shared.

altho generally the guardian’s coverage of raqqa has been decent.

this does read as sarcasm tho so i take your point aboynamedgoo

The whole drawn out election process is so annoying. Round my neck of the woods they put signs up all over the local park for three months and it ruins the aesthetic. Then 9 months later a new set of signs pop up. Because there’s an election every fucking year.

Publish people’s manifesto in the paper. Deliver the paper free to the whole area. Do some TV debates. Do all of that a week before the election. Everyone happy.

The move also kicked off a controversy as the six-term congresswoman dismissed calls to bar members who accept money from fossil fuel companies from serving on the committee, arguing it would violate free speech rights.
