Erdogan didn't like the Kurds having a high degree of autonomy next to the border with Turkley's Kurdish lands.  That's why he invaded.  To separate the Syrian Kurds  from his oppressed Kurds.


Resettling of Syrian refugees from Turkey was the cause

Of Course, because we should all take Turkey's intentions at face value and in no way question what their true motivations were, because obviously their dealings with Putin and Iran are on the up and up.

How's it looking over there in N Syria?

Is CNN reporting any of the good?

There is a permanent Trump-negotiated ceasefire in Syria...Turkey hasn't invaded any further?

Turkey and Syria have been fighting for at least the last 4 days, Bambi. Do try to keep up.


Then it's time to get out the big stick and hit Turkey with it.
Turkey invaded Syria...UN should fire a large missile into Turkey and wipe out Erdogan's palace, for starters.
UN should slap Turkey with drastic sanctions on everything....food, water, weapons, all trade to cease...then the Turkish people will take care of Erdogan when they're eating grass like the people in NK.

Drama!!!

"If the author is, in fact, a current or former 'senior official' in the Trump administration, publication of the book may violate that official's legal obligations under one or more nondisclosure agreements, including nondisclosure agreements that are routinely required with respect to information obtained in the course of one's official responsibilities or as a condition for access to classified information," Assistant Attorney General Joseph Hunt wrote. "Such agreements typically require that any written work potentially containing protected information be submitted for pre-publication review. Courts have approved the imposition of a constructive trust to collect the proceeds of the breach generated by an unapproved publication."

As long as you read the work and as a result more fully understand how you are betraying the country with your continued spineless adulation of trump and the perverse twisted remnants of the GOP, the disposition of the proceeds is not important.

About Elizabeth Warren’s “Healthcare for All and it’s $ Bazillion price tag.
Ezra Klein at Vox opines:


Under the Affordable Care Act’s employer mandate, all workplaces with more than 50 employees have to purchase health care or pay a fee. Warren simply takes the money they’re spending now and redirects it to [WarrenCare]. To sweeten the deal for employers, she shaves their contribution by 2 percent — so whatever they’re spending on private health insurance, they send 98 percent of that to the government.

There’s wide variation in the quality of insurance employers purchase, and this plan has the consequence, at the outset, of punishing employers who purchased better insurance for their employees — now they’re paying more than stingier competitors, but without any recruiting benefit. Over time, Warren says she’ll adjust all employers to the same level, though the details of how that will work are sparse.

If Ezra Klein wonders about Warren’s fantasy then so should we all.

Whats Trump's plan again?  Just throw 30 Million people off their insurance, and figure it out later?

I'll take "wondering" about the details over that.  I suspect many others will too.

Mrs bambu was in Japan earlier this year [I'd advised her, seeing as how her group promotes peace, love, harmony, friendship in the world …..that she should not mention the war, whales, or anything political.]

Finally someone asked her, "you like Mr Trump"?
'Political'!
She was hesitant at first but then made a decision [rabbits frozen in the headlights often end up badly-off.] and said 'yes'.
They said; "We love Mr trump, he's the only one who stands between us and the madman over there".

Mr Trump...duly elected President of the United States by the American People...under exactly the same system as they elected Mr Obama.

Nah

Cheated - haven't you heard?

Obama's people did nothing politically crafty at all during his 2 election cycles.  Just smiled and won.

How is it the job of the Justice Department to enforce NDA's that Trump had aides sign?  It isn't.  Barr is becoming a glorified Michael Cohen at this point.

Sure, those with access to classified info are required to not disclose it upon leaving.  But they have no idea what is in the book at this point.

Collusion with a hostile foreign power to deceive American voters is just the type of political craftiness everyone does and is therefore ok, even though I can't show that anyone has ever done anything remotely like it.
