Sometimes it's ok to admit that Trump doesn't know what the hell is going on. This is one of those cases. If there was a coherent plan to draw down the US troop presence in MidEast, he wouldn't be adding 3,000 troops to Saudi Arabia and withdrawing 150 from Syria. It also appears that the withdrawal caught everyone but Turkey by surprise. If he's counting on the allies in the region to pick up the slack, it surely seems that they were also among the last to fund out and surely don't seem too happy about the abrupt move. If this came from the great strategic mind, he wouldn't need to send Pence and Pompeo to Turkey within a week! And nobody brought up the embarrassing point that it wasn't Erdogan who was summoned to DC to face the music, but the Veep and the Senior Foreign Statesman from the ***** USA had to grovel in to Turkey, while Erdogan had the nerve to initially reject the overture. Who's the lackey in this exchange again?

That's an excuse. UN is a feckless organization that Trump has railed on forever. Actions matter much more than words. This was an awful two weeks for Trump's foreign "policy"

You don’t see the contradiction of crying about Iran to the UN, but effectively strengthening Iran’s position on the ground?

Blackberries? Are they looking for evidence from 1999?

He was halfway decent and left for Denver in FA

Welcome back Ray Ray

Eh, one of those games.

McCabe too. Can't only have one guy, because Strzok was too far down for a lone rogue agent. Need a conspiracy to sell it.

And here we thought EII went off the rails on this thread.

So you agree that the investigators must figure things out first. Not so hard of a riddle, isn't it?

He’s just upset that the Riddler didn’t get his own feature film.

Because according to Google, you're an adult at 13, and are responsible enough to manage your Internet life

He's been a big contributor to the No. 1 defense in the league and he's complaining about that?

Funny how the term "allegedly" suddenly disappears from the lexicon.

Sacrificial lamb to take down Trump.

Has to be one of the worst streaming apps ever.

I'm guessing this ship has sailed since nobody picked him up. Must be some issues if there were no takers.

Moreover, during the 10 game win streak, Sabres won 9 games with a 1 goal differential, with 7 of those in OT or SO. In the 5 wins this year, 3 games were won with a 2+ goal differential.

He also cleaned up a city that everyone said couldn't be cleaned up.

Who in the AFC West is going to knock them out?

Don’t ignore the fact that Flint and Newark water systems are run by the government. How’s that worked out?

I think the bigger issue for the tying goal was a little stick in Risto's skates as he tried to clear and then a blatant hold of his stick that he couldn't get in position for the blocked shot with 6 secs to go.

That's the point. It's a generalized article from people with an agenda.

The Times compilation is a 3rd or 4th hand account of the changes, and doesn’t actually detail the effects of the change and how it affects the environment. I’ll leave it to you to determine if the Times’ is biased in any way. I took a look at one of the regs cited, it dealt with reclassifying compliance requirement for chemical facilities that have reduced emissions and pollutants below the threshold levels. Under the old regs, the facilities were still bound under the stricter requirements, but under Trump the facilities who cleaned up would be subject to the same requirements as other cleaner facilities. It’s all in the perception, isn’t it? The article is a compilation of the changes. It doesn’t address the regs themselves, nor Koko’s valid questions.

Does that mean that Freemasons designed the MAGA hat?
