I'm bad at math. What's the conversion re that cost re Putin re US?

I'd guess that he equates that price as the equiv of an average-income American losing two pennies in the sofa (though, they'd probably call it a couch).

Did Trump caress Putins inner thigh like obambi did to Putins errand boy Medvedev?

Asking for a friend.

Bonus question: how hard do you think Putin laughed when Red Line Bluffer obambi said "knock it off" then did....nothing...

Sprezzatura said...: Drago,

What's w/ the red line?

After the crossing, BHO went to congress to get approval for a military action to retaliate re the crossing of the redline. Congress said no. BHO followed the constitution.

So, that's bad because.....why? Cause the Founding Fathers were racist slave accepting and sexist evil doers such that we should now F the constitution re let POTUS have war and anything else they want?

Is it odd that this reality re the back story is forgotten re the "red line"?

Seems odd.; 6/28/19, 7:43 PM

Sprezzatura said...: "Well Obama was going steady with iran, so he really wasnt going to get involved in Syria"

He wanted to. He specifically asked congress for the approval, like the Constitution requires, but they denied him.

Seems like it's a good thing for a POTUS to follow the Constitution and not take our entire country into a war because of one person's whim. Maybe the Founders had a point re making Congressional approval a requirement re war.

Just sayin'.; 6/28/19, 7:48 PM
narciso said...: He really wasnt, it was all a feint, he let the qataris and the Saudis fund their own militias; 6/28/19, 7:50 PM
Sprezzatura said...: Narc,

He 100% asked congress for approval re a retaliation. And, the R led congress (with the war power defined by the constitution) denied him the authorization.

Yer denying this 100% provable reality only makes the exact opposite of the point yer goin' fer.

So thanks for your support.; 6/28/19, 7:55 PM
Drago said...: adSs: "He wanted to. He specifically asked congress for the approval, like the Constitution requires, but they denied him."

LOL

How stupid do you have to be to push that nonsense out there and expect anyone to buy it?

Obambi, writer of laws without constitutiinal authority, Mr Libya debacle!

Needed permission to hit Syria because its l, like, totally different than Libya! They are even spelled differently!!

Too funny.

I especially like watching the videos of obama saying there is no point in confronting Putin publicly as well.

Good times good times for Team Lets Give Our Uranium To Putin!; 6/28/19, 7:57 PM
Drago said...: adSs: "He 100% asked congress for approval re a retaliation. And, the R led congress (with the war power defined by the constitution) denied him the authorization."

LOL explain Libya then dummy.

Even dems admit obambi didnt want to enforce his own red line and so he used the congress as an excuse.

Too funny.

He did ask for Congressional approval to retaliate for the red line thing-y.

That's a fact.

The congress said no.

That's a fact.

BHO followed the rule of law/constitution.

That's a fact.

You claim that you wanted him to go to war after the congress denied him permission for such. That makes you incompatible with America, as it exist re law.

Drago said...: adSs: "Drago,

LOL

Obambi had NO problem acting on his own to declare the Red Line.

Another case of the lefties shifting all responsibility for their actions into the republicans.

Just as with all those Southern "republican" segregationists in the Dem Solid South!

Remember how fantastically amazingly wonderful and perfect obamacare was...until literally the day after Trump was elected and every lefty and LLR-lefty proclaimed obamacare a Trump thing?

Awesomely funny.

Sprezzatura said...: Drago,

It's the constitution that says the congress gets to fuss re our nation going to war.

The Ds didn't invent that so that it's only when Rs run congress that the congress would be responsible for war powers.

Presumably you'd like to come to these threads w/ a little less little knowledge.

To not embarrass yurself.

Yikes!; 6/28/19, 8:22 PM
Chris Lopes said...: The point is that President Barack "I have a phone and a pen and I know how use them" Obama didn't bother with creating a consensus for military action before he drew the red line. Obama's mistake was in trying to write a check the American people weren't ready to cash.; 6/28/19, 8:26 PM

Sprezzatura said...: "Obama's mistake was in trying to write a check the American people weren't ready to cash."

Then, the libs could be pissed. Cause they wanted war, but they didn't control congress to authorize the war BHO asked for.

But, the cons were the folks who withheld the constitutional approval that BHO sought. So, they should praise him for following the law/constitution by not just going to war anyway. So the cons can't be pissed that BHO didn't retaliate for the red line, because they (and BHO folowing the constitution) were the reason he didn't retaliate for the red line.

If you think it's bad that BHO followed the constitution and didn't get us into a war after the congress told him not to go into that war, you are against America. By definition.

Like Drago is.

And Rapinoe is not.; 6/28/19, 8:38 PM

Yeah, that'll fly. Run with that one! Better yet, get a dossier printed up saying the same thing.

Plus, for all you know I might have spent a night in a hotel in Moscow once...in the same room Bill and Hilla...er...Bill shared with "someone". And in a bizarre revenge act I slammed cheeseburgers while watching Russian Hallmark Channel..while on the bed!

Thats how much I am against America!

Chris Lopes said...: "If you think it's bad that BHO followed the constitution and didn't get us into a war after the congress told him not to go into that war, you are against America. By definition."

I think it's bad the the president risked the credibility of the US by making threats he couldn't (because he never bothered to bring the American people along) back up.

BTW, the Constitution never stopped any President from launching a punitive military strike. Obama went through Congress (this time) because he needed the political backup he should have gotten before he made the threat. He didn't really need Congress launch air strikes, he needed them for political cover.; 6/28/19, 8:58 PM
wildswan said...: People think that Ghandi originated the saying:

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, ..." so I guess Google's AI algorithm thinks Ghandi was a comedian like the others.

The big tech giants should definitely be broken up. Picture if someone kept slightly altering the major AI algorithms in a Salman Rushdie kind of way, in other words for no reason at all - the FACEBOOK terrorism algorithm or the social credit algorithm in China.; 6/28/19, 9:10 PM
Drago said...: It seems like only yesterday...

....there we were.
Sitting around the Squadron Ready Room on the Carrier waiting to walk to the aircraft.
Planning was complete.
Pre-flight complete.
Just waiting for the word to walk and launch.

When suddenly it occurred to me! My gosh! I think I have it bad! Why, at this very moment some gal (gals were actual gals in those days, not dudes in dresses that everyone had to pretend could get pregnant!!), some gal, right then, was on a soccer pitch, facing down a French competitor. Her life in her teammates hands. Her teammates lives in her hands.

A Band Of Sisters, if you will.

When suddenly, through a "murderous" hail of spectators ordering croissants with extra butter along with a very nice chardonnay, our Soccer Star launches a kick that goes every bit as far and fast as an above average male high school player.

Yep.

adSs is right.

Female soccer players are the real heroes.

The good news?

With the dems #IBelieveInLikeRealScienceAndStuff faith, every little boy can grow up to be a "female" soccer player who, like "Stan", has the Right to have a baby, despite having nowhere for the Fetus to gestate!!; 6/28/19, 9:13 PM

Drago said...: It is only due to rampant misogyny and the Patriarchy that female soccer players havent been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, despite the fact that after some matches the players have to give interviews where their hair has not yet been combed nor any additional makep applied.
