Sorry. Link broken and no way to post an image from iPhone: looks like functionality issue on the post image button. Will correct later.

Go read the original statement if you can find it. Amazing.

He has to show that even he is not above our Constitutional law.
When the hammer comes down those cockroaches wont have anywhere to run but into the cage they built for Trump.

Look at Trump's statements. Look at the house vote. Look at the senate vote.

His statement is pure whining and a rejection of balance of powers. It's some of the most childish language put into the historical record of our nation ever. This is all so he can signal, against an almost unanimous vote, that "congress made me do this."

Winning indeed. Please let him war against the legislative branch too. Please please please. That's a quick path to impeachment.

It's a dirty little deal Congress did there, playing politics. Trump could either act with a little grace and go along with their snit fit or he could stand firm and make them override his veto. It's basically a lose-lose position, so of course he's going to verbally object.

He said for the sake of good faith of bringing this country together. Trump knows that's impossible with the Liberal Filth Horde.
They will double down on pettiness and vindictiveness.

We've got activist in every contested district to Primary everyone of them, they are shit and toast.
We're also going after the Demoldcrats.

They are a Calcified Ancient defunct lot that is no good for this country or themselves.

Trump will round up all of the Darkies and SJW's first to fight the Never Trump war. Send them off to be Russian Target fodder in the middle of a desert somewhere to get blown to shit. While McCrapstain and Obama's shadow foundation arms the opposition.

I hope they televise it.

What game are they supposed to be playing? Checkers? Our elected representatives overwhelmingly spoke:
House: 419-3
Senate: 98-2

What is it that you think is gamesmanship about that? What do "they" win? Also, do you understand how overwhelmingly hard it would be to generate that type of bipartisan approval on something that was for some alternate/nefarious purpose?

Nothing has brought Congress/the country together like the opposition of Iran, N. Korea, and Russia. Trump is on the outside of that, one of only 6 voices dissenting, and he is doubling down on pettiness alongside it.

Latest attacks and energy from WH seem to be focused on running opponents against GOP held seats. Seems a very interesting strategy to me.

This may very well be the week that Congress begins to break from supporting Trump. If so, it may be a pretty quick road to impeachment.

I agree with 100% now we have away to get rid of the SJW's.

Lust for bloodsports and banal entertainment were some of the hallmarks of the fall of the Roman empire.

You don't sincerely want to see people killed, in real life, because they hold a different view from yours, right? Your ideas surely have more merit than that? One can only assume you are being inflammatory or a sensationalist.

Please elaborate as this seems to be a non-sequitur.

11   Tenpoundbass   2017 Aug 2, 11:19am  

We will need to reinstate the Draft to fight Schumer and Paul Ryan's war.
The SJW's are the biggest fighting force in America right now.
Plus McCain and Obama have foundations that they use often in situations like these to supply weapons and ammo to our opposition to chew our boys up.

I think they need to really get a good look of the deep state these kids have championed don't you think?

Since Wiki Leaks, Trump and the Voter are big liars why don't you SJW's go fight in a few wars and see for yourself?

12   Rew   2017 Aug 2, 11:23am  

In my mind, it seems the unity in congress over this is hugely damaging to Trump, not SJWs.

Trump:

Iran --- pissed at the Iran nuclear deal. Doesn't like that it is working and successful. Rumblings that he is going to back out, despite strong advice by natl security advisors that it would be horrible. For the record, Iran is now multiple years away from a weapon because of the Obama deals. Formerly, Iran was months away from a weapon.

N. Korea --- No plan. We will handle it. We will handle it.

Russia --- Resistant to even verbally criticize them as opposing our national will throughout the world. Forced to sign sanctions legislation he didn't want to. Administration seems deeply entangled with mutual interest. Kuh-lusion.

SJWs:

? I cannot even connect the dots. They care about identity politics and domestic issues.

You desire a nation on nation conflict to "teach" the younger generation a lesson? That's an interesting motivation for war.

14   Rew   2017 Aug 2, 11:36am  

For the record, millennials already makeup 43% of the armed forces to date, and growing.

Tenpoundbass, desiring a war, because you disagree with the growing cultural trends/generational differences, is pretty disgusting in my opinion. I'm glad there are exactly zero officers who would seek a fight as a punitive measure against their own troops.

If like Bannon though, you believe in the 4th turning, it is typically the generation right after the last big war that pushes for the next one, as they age. If correct, that would likely make you a Boomer.

Don't twist this to me, I'm not the Liberal faggot with grandpa glasses on the tip of my nose, making shit up on CNN fake news.
You bastards got your wish now take your medicine SON!

Alright get them on the tucks and get them out of here to boot camp!

What? Trump and GOP in control ... despite all Repub controlled media claiming otherwise. You are calling out for war to get the kids off your lawn and teach 'em good. Are you not? (shaking head)

If we go to war, it's not going to be because of this sanctions bill. It will be because Trump is incompetent and weak.

This was a total fail. He managed to be a pussy and sign it and piss off Congress at the same time. If you are going to poke them in the eye, might as well refuse to sign the bill. How can he bitch about Sessions recusing himself from the Russia investigation now? He is effectively recusing himself from doing the President's duties with respect to Russia. I wonder if he even realizes that.

This was what the 4 days of delay was for as well. So he could do something this politically stupid. Any sane advisors close by had to by trying to shape this away from harming Trump as well. His pen is all over this though.

Laughably stupid.

His job is to show the Liberals who they are championing.

I think his base believes some of that, yes.

His actual job is to be the President.
