Mitt Romney:


“Are we so weak and inept diplomatically that Turkey forced the hand of the United States of America? Turkey!? I believe that it’s imperative that public hearings are held to answer these questions, and I hope the Senate is able to conduct those hearings next week.”

After saying Trump held back aid to pressure Ukraine, Mulvaney tries to walk back comments

https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...67e_story.html

Just un-freaking-believable. How easily they lie, without a second thought. I watched him flat out admit there was a quid quo pro, the money was held back due to the (imaginary) "server" with "Hillary's missing emails" on it. Lol. Ridiculous.

Now, after the WH lawyers were aghast at his stupidity, he's trying to walk back the admission. Nobody, it appears, has any competence whatsoever in this administration. MAGA!

Quote:
In a sign of how potentially damaging Mulvaney’s remarks were, Jay Sekulow, one of Trump’s personal attorneys, released a statement that said: “The President’s legal counsel was not involved in acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney’s press briefing.” Within the hour, Mulvaney issued his statement attempting to walk back what he’d said earlier.

‘Our Republic Is Under Attack From the President’

Admiral William McRaven: “If our promises are meaningless, how will our allies ever trust us? If we can’t have faith in our nation’s principles, why would the men and women of this nation join the military? And if they don’t join, who will protect us? If we are not the champions of the good and the right, then who will follow us? And if no one follows us — where will the world end up?”

“President Trump seems to believe that these qualities are unimportant or show weakness. He is wrong. These are the virtues that have sustained this nation for the past 243 years. If we hope to continue to lead the world and inspire a new generation of young men and women to our cause, then we must embrace these values now more than ever.”

“And if this president doesn’t understand their importance, if this president doesn’t demonstrate the leadership that America needs, both domestically and abroad, then it is time for a new person in the Oval Office — Republican, Democrat or independent — the sooner, the better. The fate of our Republic depends upon it.”

54% say it's a bad move leaving Syria;

https://news.yahoo.com/friends-trust...c=bell-brknews

I bet if the same people had been polled when we entered Syria, they would have said we should stay out.

The Hungarian uprising was a much worse travesty. People get over it, the one's that live anyhow.

The CIA promised to provide everything they needed. Whoops.

No kidding, Mitch! Time to remove Putin’s asset from the Oval Office, now, before he causes more damage.

But you don't really believe he's Putin asset, do you ? You said the following.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...4aa_story.html

Years-long nothingburger. Will it finally shut up the idiot conspiracies? Unlikely. The Whells of the world are incredibly stupid.

Unquote.

I'm trying to track this. You can reference the conspiracy theories as being real to support an assertion, but they're just bullshit.
