Trump hits back at Graham over Syria criticism
NY Post ^ | December 20, 2018 | Yaron Steinbuch

Posted on 12/20/2018 10:51:20 PM PST by conservative98

President Trump hit back Thursday at GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham, his normally reliable ally, for opposing his decision to pull US troops out of Syria.

“So hard to believe that Lindsey Graham would be against saving soldier lives & billions of $$$,” the president said in a tweet.

“Why are we fighting for our enemy, Syria, by staying & killing ISIS for them, Russia, Iran & other locals? Time to focus on our Country & bring our youth back home where they belong!” he added.

“To battle everyone, everywhere, without congressional authorization, in defiance of what the Constitution requires and what a war-weary public might desire, is foolhardy.” https://t.co/cwalcNNRmi— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 20, 2018

Between this post for linda and other post calling out the gopE leadership for going back on their promise to fund the wall, seems Trump has had enough of the gopE. It’s dangerous because the may get the opportunity to remove him. But I wish he would call out the senate, and specifically mitch the bitch, for not putting the senate in full recess.

Wasn’t just a few days ago that all the lame stream media couldn’t stop gloating and hyperventilating over General Flynn and how that was going to be the end of Trump?

Has anybody heard a peep of that lately?

Amazing how quickly Trump can change the “conversation”

The propaganda organs don’t know which way to turn. Should they cover the “irresponsible” troop withdrawal from Syria? Afghanistan? Kelly’s “retirement”,or Mattis retirement? and what about the bombshell of bombshell!! The end of the world - Trump is going to shut down the government. No he just caved! Oh no he uncaved!!!

He’s got them spinning like a flea-infested mangy dog.

“Sen. Lindsey Graham, his normally reliable ally...”

Because he threw a hissy fit over Kavanaugh? Lindsey is a rino’s rino. A swamp lover. A reach around artist. A lying backstabbing scumbag liberal demoncrat.

Trump channeling a little bit of Nixon and Buchanan circa 1972. In a good way, I mean.

No, it was just yesterday they were saying “Trump Caves on Wall”. Chuck & Nancy were getting drunk on their victory just last night. Trump totally rope-a-doped them! I love it and want to see more of it.

I also saw on the news that he put up a facebook post “throwback thursday” of a scene he did from a 1970s skit show. With this flurry of activity (wall standoff, troop withdrawals, and maybe a rebranding of his image in social media) I hope it signals he’s gonna start swinging back at his enemies... the 2020 re-election campaign is underway!

In a war you need to do one of two things;

Either fight full blast and win it or get out and leave it alone. Girls like Linda want us to go in and have little fistfights for eternity instead of fighting to win.

Get out of Afcrapistan, too.

“Either fight full blast and win it or get out and leave it alone.”

Agreed. I have heard over and over that our contingent is 2000 soldiers. Unless they are roaming the country full force, their impact is only symbolic.

I have always been against sending American soldiers out in small groups to get waylaid by IEDs and ambushes.

I assume the Air Force will still be operating in the area.
