....so what exactly happens? I doubt the neocons in Trump's cabinent and chucklefucks like Rubio/Graham allow this. Any experts on here lol?
Something similar I saw in Politico this morning:
Hilarious given that Pompeo was just this morning pulling the "they'll greet us as liberators" card.
"Not even Republicans will follow his lead. He'll hate Putin."
Like how could you be so fucking wrong?
They refuse to comply, declaring the parliament illegitimate and citing recent protests as justification for defying them.
I think it's more likely that there is a sudden infusion of cash into the pocket of the Iraqi PM and any legislation is never officially adopted.
"Don't worry, the complete jackass will buck up. Now Hillary on the other hand would be the worst thing to ever happen in our country's history. Literally Hitler. Litler, as I call her."
It's pretty heartening to see Iran and Iraq work together when you consider they were at war with each other for nearly the entirety of the 80's.
It's not going to get any better leading up to this year's election either...
Luckily the administration has the kind of mature, competent, foreign policy leadership and knowledge to carefully and diplomatically navigate the situation and avoid further degradation of things in the Middle East.
Lets not try to beatify someone who was supplying ground forces for Assad's butchering.
We really should count our blessings in these trying times.
Sorry, not saying he was great, just that as with most actual foreign policy it's shades of gray, rather than the B&W good/evil depicted in movies.
Lol even if definitely would prefer bernie on foreign policy the american public will latch on to Bidens experience in the white house as someoje with the most credibility
There are no good guys in the Middle East, everything is a mess. American hegemony was wasted in a part of the world that we don't understand and tried to fix solely with bombs. It's maddening how much that part of the world dominates our foreign policy and how absolutely wrong it has all gone. The only explanation is that oil and money have corrupted everything and that the powers to be really don't want a solution as long as they keep getting rich and oil stays cheap.
If only forensicnews.net link didn't return a 500 internal server error.
Was Soliemani responsible for the thousand plus killed Iranian civilians in the recent protests inside Iran like a poster in OT claims?

Scott Stedman is pretty fucking legit, so I don't think this is fake news.
Also, never forget:
This new stuff is just providing a little more info.
This is honestly an insultingly cynical take on the ME and peoples there. There are plenty of good guys in the ME, we saw that with the Arab Spring. The constant conflict we have is still a legacy of the Imperial age that sought to wedge ethnic conflict as a means of control, then leaving borders and sectarian conflict as a parting gift.
The other part is a reliance of evil people to keep order, the Assads, Khomeinis, and Huesseins of the region are being propped up to try to achieve short term order with the cost of long term bloodshed. The "shouldn't be our problem, they're jsut savages anyway" only ensures that the conflicts continue.
You're right it is very cynical. 20 years of failed US policy has made me cynical. You're right that there are good people in the Middle East, that wasn't what I was trying to say. But our policies and goals have seemingly failed entirely, so I'm not sure how we can go about fixing it when we're the ones who are most responsible for breaking everything. Until we can figure out an effective long-term strategy, we aren't doing a whole lot of good over there. Our foreign policy in the region is bi-polar at best, and short-sighted in the extreme, and that goes back to Clinton. We had an opportunity to do some good in places like Afghanistan and Iraq and completely botched it. Now we have the lion by the tail, you don't dare let it go but you're just making it worse by holding it.
but the senate's not doing anything but confirming shitty ass judges.
Not mention prosecution and grand jury often work together to decide whether to bring it to trial. But you know... not expecting them to paint an honest picture.
Great, the House can add that to the articles of impeachment and then you can vote to remove in the Sen...hey, Rand, where are you running off to?
Blocking every bill = "regular business"?
And they didn't flinch, they flash-chomped him Iceman-style.

Shut everything down.
Michael Tracey and Tulsi Gabbard just came out publicly against the president. Tracey said he'd vote for Biden to get Trump out of office.
Greenwald is still tweeting about the fall of American journalism though.

I'm wondering how Democrats respond to this, regarding the impeachment? They can compel at least some type of action by sending over the articles, but they can't force him to do anything by withholding them. What's the strategy? Mitch DGAF about public opinion.
"Legality" is a word that only means something if people are held accountable to it. Legality matters to a shoplifter because if they get caught, they will be held accountable. Who exactly is going to hold the most powerful people in the world accountable? It turns out the answer is "no one," so legality is completely fucking meaningless. Yeah, it was illegal, and immoral, and there's not a fucking thing anyone will do to enforce any of it because the world is a bullshit place run by garbage people. We've built up a system based on gentlemen's agreements, and it turns out if you turn over control to a narcissistic sociopath, they won't honor that code. Who fucking knew?
Well I am glad some dipshits are getting with the program, others have not
