You don't know the guy who has
(successfully) led almost all of your anti-ISIS diplomatic efforts in Syria and Iraq since the start of your administration?

Maybe that's why you aren't making informed decisions...
Trump has spent 2 years bragging about our success against ISIS. McGurk is one of the main people responsible for that and everyone knows it. Trump can claim credit because he left him in charge, but BS to now diminish what he did bc McGurk objects to Trump's withdrawal policy.
So Trump is going to attack or try to diminish everyone who calls him out for his foolish and ill-informed Syria policy? even those who spent several last years working to make his Presidency succesful.

You can see why he is having so much trouble filling cabinet positions.

*AOC says a ton of mock-worthy & factually-challenged things during a major news interview*

*Conservatives criticize substance of what she said*

*Gateway Pundit has an idiotic post based on her nickname in college.*

MSM: Conservatives are focused on attacking AOC for her name!
If you're going to use the standard of judging a whole group but the worst people who claim to be on the same side, then you better use that standard for both sides.

Otherwise you just look like a dishonest hack.
How many MSM journalists tweeted about AOC being called out for declaring that facts aren't important if you feel like you are morally right?

Now compare that to how many are now tweeting about Hoft posting some article attacking her for using a nickname in college.

15 K RT's for this embarrassingly false tweet The official Senate Score showed that the tax bill you are referencing would increase the deficit by 28 billion in 2018. That's 1.4% of the debt increase you are blaming that bill for.

Rest was approved w/ votes from both parties.
If you're going to accuse someone else of a "flat out falsehood," you should at least have the fact to back it up.

Here was the JCT report: jct.gov/publications.h…
We have a serious debt problem. It's mostly a spending problem, not a revenue problem. Mulvaney deflecting blame on Democrats is a cop out, but it's factually true that both parties have been complicit in contributing to this spending problem.

No, she just lied more in her answer.

1) She says blatantly false things constantly. She doesn’t correct when confeonred, she just attacks or dismisses her critics (usually as morally wrong, thus justifying her dismissal and dishonesty). When has she admitted to being wrong?
2) She differentiates herself from Trump based on a subjective view of what they lie or get things wrong about, but Trump thinks his broader points are right regardless of facts too.

If these things are wrong when Trump does them, they should be wrong when she does them too.
Of course Trump is President and should be held to a high standard and deserves the criticism he gets, but people also need to stop pretending like it’s unfair to hold a Congresswoman to a similar standard. She’s not just some random popular girl, she’s a member of Congress.

Fascinating work by @HaidHaid22 - looking at initiatives (or a lack, thereof) by the #SDF & the #FSA to reconcile/rehabilitate/reintegrate #ISIS detainees in northern #Syria.

Really important backgrounder:

icsr.info/2018/08/20/rei…
@HaidHaid22 #pt: According to @HaidHaid22’s work for @ICSR_Centre, one’s decision to join #ISIS in #Syria was driven primarily by x4 factors:

1. Financial benefits
2. Protection
3. Military capacity
4. Ideology

Less than 20% of recruits joined for ideological reasons.
@HaidHaid22 @ICSR_Centre #pt: @HaidHaid22 raises a number of important questions for @CJTFOIR & its #SDF partner:

- Surging strains on the #SDF's makeshift prison network holding 1,000s of #ISIS prisoners, raises risks of eventual #ISIS attacks, aimed at replicating #Iraq’s 2012-3 “Breaking the Walls.”

Horrendous - the death toll from this morning’s #ISIS #Suwaida attacks has risen to 220.

Tensions are already high in the area, amidst fresh disagreements with #Damascus (& #Russia) over the imposition of conscription on the area's local male population.
It seems that #ISIS may have kidnapped #Syria soldiers/pro-#Assad militiamen during today’s assault on al-#Suwaida.

#ISIS media has published graphic images showing a mass execution - again, eerily reminiscent of earlier days, when intimidation was a main objective.
BREAKING - Days after horrific attacks on #Suwaida, ISIS says it's attacking nearby Khalkhalah airport, now home to *huge* amounts of weaponry surrendered by the #FSA in #Deraa.

Watch this.

1.@Evan_McMullin. #Pompeo discussed terrorism w/SVR GRU & FSB? Trump betrayed US #Kurdish allies #SDF for Putin & Assad. My CIA FOIA. We betrayed folks who defeated #ISIS & allows #Erdogan to slaughter #Afrin #Kurds. So far. #SDF @FoxNews @francesmartel @OIRSpox @FBIHonolulu @CIA
2. To explain, the Wayback captured the @CIA page about #Syria where there were no domestic terrorist listed on January 28, 2018. Ex A. I concede that a story I read yesterday, that I will search for to give accreditation, found this. As you can see, Ex B shows added PYD entry.
3. Here's Thurs DOD presser. At 3:34 and later 6:31 discussions of Afrin. At 27:42 AA reported says rockets fired in then the general says "if the PKK attacks Turkey." There are no PKK in Turkey. He must know that. We need to say if PYD, SDF YPG and/or YPG are or aren't listed.

In #Iran, thousands take to the streets for day two of anti-regime protests. Flashback to 2009 #IranProtests? So who is demonstrating now and why? I'll compare/contrast movements. Some thoughts & on-the-ground insights to follow: fxn.ws/2DvqEJk
The protests are largely targeting government economic policies, price surges on basic goods & the regime's economic & material support of Hezbollah & movements in Syria, Gaza, Yemen, etc. #Iranprotests #مظاهرات_ايران
But grievances have expanded, similar to the #GreenRevolution of 2009, which started out as a contested election but evolved into a movement against the entire regime..Now protesters' slogans are targeting President Rouhani & Supreme Leader #Khamenei #Iranprotests
