House Republicans joined Democrats in condemning Trump’s actions in Syria
Vox ^ | Oct 16 2019 | By Ella Nilsen and Li Zhou

In a bipartisan rebuke to President Donald Trump, the US House of Representatives has overwhelmingly passed a resolution condemning his decision to pull United States troops out of Syria, abandoning US allies in the region as Turkish troops have moved in.

The 354-60 vote on the resolution Wednesday was largely symbolic, but it signaled the widespread disapproval among lawmakers for Trump’s latest controversial foreign policy move. It came as fighting continued in northeastern Syria between Turkey and Kurdish fighters, who have been a key US ally in fighting the terror group ISIS.

Remember when House Republicans condemned Obama’s negotiations with Iran and emboldening ISIS? Yeah, me neither.

I can remember when Democrats used to say they were anti-war.

Hey arrogant idiots/war criminals.

List of grievances:

1) War (especially undeclared)
2) Debt slavery https://usdebtclock.org
3) Aiding and abetting invaders who harm our citizens...

100) (Your list may vary)

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

During my lifetime, it has seemed that most of the warmongers in congress had an (R) after their names, and most of the peacenick surrender monkeys had a (D) after their names.

Then when Trump tries to put an end to the endless wars, suddenly the (D)s are all for endless war too.

House RINOs joined house *sshats in condemning Trump’s actions in Syria.

Sorry, not RINOS, the mainstream establishment republicans voted to condemn Trump, including Kevin McCarthy, the House GOP leader.

The real RINO is Trump, since unlike most Republicans he doesn’t want endless war.

I happen to be thinking that a lot of this fuss about the 50 men leaving Syria reflects Congresscritters’ concerns that PDJT just might expose some of their corruption...
as is now coming about about Biden etc.

there’s a lot of dirty corrupt thieves in WashDC..both on the Hill and in administrative agencies... we are hoping hoping praying that PDJT vastly accelerates his Swamp Draining!

Someone should remind these Representative of the following:
1. Question: What is the difference between a Turk and a Turd? Answer: One letter.
2. Question: What is the difference between a Kurd and a Turd? Answer: One letter.
There is little difference between the Turks and the Kurds in how they act. Both ethnic groups are murderous thugs with the Turks having committee genocides in the past and are hoping to commit a Kurdish genocide.
The Turks must be told that the other NATO countries are required to come to their aid only if they are attacked by a foreign power. No NATO country is required to come to the aid of the Turks if they attack another foreign nation. If they go at it with the Syrians and the Russians and the Kurds, they are on their own even if the Syrian-Russian-Kurdish forces invade Turkey as part of their defense.

After this there may be an actual impeachment vote after all. Pelosi thinks this put the wind in her sails.
