Trump puts the brakes on new Russian sanctions, reversing Haley’s announcement

I know you're new here, but you should probably understand that this forum tends toward slightly more educated than most. If you walk in and claim shit like this, you're going to get schooled six ways from Sunday.

He aint new, he's a RBM. It's also funny that he equates sanctions with war.

 

[Commodus]

This is awesome news.

The fact that the sociopath, murder-obsessed, warhawk, Zionist puppet Nikki Haley is not rotting away in a cell along with Hillary and Bill Clinton, Mattis, Pompeo, Nuland, Bush, Obama, Cheney, Rumsfeld (I could keep on going) and basically every US president of the past 75 years, besides John F. Kennedy, shows hows sick our whole government is. We've had enough of these war- and domination- obsessed psychos in office.

Hey look, we've found the more-counterculture-than-thou poster who thinks he's superior because he has determined the whole system is corrupt, maaaaan.

Yes, there are systemic problems with American leadership, but when you equivocate like this you're effectively giving up -- you're refusing to accept major differences in policies, to actually mend the system instead of waiting for the all-or-nothing revolution that will never come. Obama was a much more peace-oriented President than Bush Jr., but because he had flaws, you consider him just as bad.

Let me guess: if you're an American, you probably voted Green or Libertarian in 2016... if you voted at all.

Right and he or she is also going to have to deal with uneducated assholes like me.

 

[Doc Savage Fan]

No, but things here in DC suggest that this sort of thing may not be a problem that much longer.

What are you hearing? Is it credible?

 

[Doc Savage Fan]

Oh god, so cliche. Yes, I'm a Russian spy and I do Putin's bidding due to the fact I'm educated and informed and ashamed of my government's disgusting, war-obsessed nature. Grow up.

How's the weather in Moscow today?

 

[SMOGZINN]

I see it like Final Destination meets Kill Bill.

Honestly it is more like The Three Stooges Meets Kill Bill.
When they make the inevitable movie about this in 20 years an old Jack Black is going to play President Trump.

Looks like Nikki Haley doesn’t like being thrown under the bus. Her response to the statement she must have been confused is, and I quote, “with all due respect, I don’t get confused.”

The clock is ticking. Place your bets!

She’s too hot and she looks the part. Trump won’t fire her

That southern belle raised up on Trump so expect her to be replaced very soon.

"With all due respect, I don't get confused," she said in a statement obtained by CNN's Jake Tapper.

A White House official said Kudlow apologized to Haley for saying that she might have been confused.

JFK did Bay of Pigs and accelerated the Vietnam war. WTF did Carter or Ford do that would warrant jail time? I don't think you are as informed as you'd like to think.

For that matter what did FDR do that wasn't justified?

Internment camps.

 

[trenchfoot]

If I was Haley right about now, I'd have my bags packed, a limo out front with a threat aimed at Trump that if she doesn't get the SecState job and assurances that he will never embarrass her again the way he just did, then she will have a tell-all book out in a week describing every single detail that Mueller would just love to hear about.

Trump has a nasty habit of defaulting to cut throat maneuvering to deal with the problems his schizoid narcissistic disorder creates for himself, so I just think Haley should return the favor in kind.

That being said, I think she's supposed to know by now that anything to do with financially punishing Putin and the Russian oligarchs who are dependent on his remaining in power needs to come straight out of Trump's mouth.That Trump has held up the Legislature's passage of sanctions against the Russians in this regard should have been Haley's hint to make Trump personally speak out on whether or not additional financial sanctions against these wealthy Russians and Putin would be put into effect.

edit - I haven't noticed any of the media asking Trump why he hasn't allowed the sanctions against Russia passed by the legislature to take effect. Does anyone know if he was asked this crucial question or not?

Good for you Nik. Punch the orange turdball in the gut.

She won't get fired. Trump will do something to make her quit.

Internment camps.

True, I was thinking more directly combat related so it slipped my mind.

True, I was thinking more directly cost related so it slipped my mind.

Fair enough.

Preparations to punish Russia anew for its support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government over the alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria caused consternation at the White House

New sanctions were alleged to be forthcoming, which is a proportional response to an alleged attack. If later there turns out to be actual evidence, then actually implement sanctions. Make sense?

 

[Sonikku]

I wish Trump wouldn't act so beholden to Putin. It doesn't matter what dirt Putin has on the guy. Trump supporters would support him no matter what shit he's done.

Not a spy just another troll.

I wonder if he's eyeballing Natasha.

Larry Kudlow apologizes to Nikki Haley over Russia sanctions remark

So Trump sends Kudlow out to do his dirty work since Trump is back to sucking Putin's ass. A new round of sanctions was in the works until Trump blew an orange gasket. Haley stuck up for herself and sent Kudlow back with his tail between his legs. What the hell was an economic advisor doing making condescending remarks about the US ambassador anyway?

Another shining example of the total incompetence of this administration. Same kind of thing happened with Tillerson as well.

Good for her.

Apparently its worse than shooting someone on 5th ave, even his brain washed supporters wouldn't support him any longer.

The only way they would stop supporting Trump was if he supported a woman's right to choose abortion, he turned out gay, or said he is going to be a Democrat. Other than that he can do anything he wants to the country or the people.

 

[Puffnstuff]

This situation is just very strange and dysfunctional.
