1) "Turkey launched a ground and air assault on Wednesday against a Syrian militia that has been a crucial American ally in the fight against ISIS, days after President Trump agreed to let the operation proceed."

2) And that is why I wrote yesterday that if: (a) the Senate exonerates Trump after his impeachment on the House and (b) he is re-elected, it is the seal of the greatest global disaster.

3) The rise of ISIS is coherent with the far-right cabal's plan of a global authoritarian power-grab. "Could all this benefit ISIS? The S.D.F. proved a vital force in wresting back control of areas seized by ISIS militants.

4) A little more about the Kurds:

5) This is just the beginning. Don't make the mistake of looking at this atrocity as disconnected from the global plan where winning the Senate vote against Trump's removal of office after House impeachment as priority #1.
6) everything is connected.

@DavidNeiwert 1/ It's funny for us, Latinos, to whom all this happened in our lifetimes, to see how fictional this sounds to American friends. I was a member of the Communist Party at 14 (yes, la Migra knows it). The fascist media said "we" ate babies and killed priests.
@DavidNeiwert 2/ Meanwhile, they killed our friends. In 75, my brother had to "take a trip", four of his friends were arrested and tortured and one died. Vlado Herzog. The same media that claimed "we" ate babies wrote that he committed suicide. They didn't even do a good job:
@DavidNeiwert 3/ Most people didn't know what we were doing. Not even us: everything was clandestine. Maybe that is why there is a new fascist "communist craze" promoted by Bolsonaro's mob: people my age didn't really know we existed.

1. "But the good news is, that letter makes Trump’s removal from office more certain today than it was yesterday, IMO."

For the first time, I'm not sure if I agree with @glennkirschner2 . Following my background, which is not law but political science, this is my reasoning:
@glennkirschner2 2. The hearings and a legally sound report on the facts are independent from removal from office. Everything involving an impeachment is more political than legal, although it is now "a"-legal.
@glennkirschner2 3. The American presidential impeachment is not an isolated process in the void: it exists in the context of a global right wing nationalist movement. Other countries have had their executive power seized by ultra-right segments whose strategy

1/ Or, as a true multi-disciplinary scholar would say (apparently, we need to be European or Latin American, otherwise we have Peterson types guessing the social sciences), humble up and learn anthropology and sociology. For starters.
2/ Sorry to properly educated American friends such as @BrianBuchbinder . But these folks that plunge into evolutionary psychology without going through the initiation rites of passage of reading the fucking classics irritate me to the triple bourbon level.
@BrianBuchbinder 3/ Here's how multi-disciplinarity works. Sorry, Americans, but you need to swallow your entitlements: you go through the whole intellectual initiation process in discipline A. You get the official sanction. You publish.

Why aren't Americans taking about the foreign influence in the US government that continues to send our men and woman to fight immoral wars?

#Trump when he campaigned for president, before he decided to let Adelson fund his campain!

Adelson was one of the biggest donors to Trumps presidential campain. Adelsons company saved 670 million dollars from the massive republican tax break. Adelson did not support the Iran deal & wanted the US embassy moved to Jerusalem.

Adelson has a direct line to #potus!

Adelson has private in-person meetings & phone conversations about once a month with #Trump!

Adelson used his access to move the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and cut aid to Palestinians.

Tomorrow Sept.16 Ankara to host trilateral #Russia-#Iran-#Turkey summit on #Syria. It is expected to announce quite important decisions on, e.g. finalization of the Constitutional Committee & political process in general, #Idlib, return of #refugees, humanitarian aid. Stay tuned.
#Putin just landed in #Ankara for trilateral #Syria summit. Apart of #Syria related issues #Russia, #Iran & #Turkey will likely to discuss the recent attack on #SaudiArabia oil facilities which led to 19% increase of Brent price & will likely increase regional tensions.
#Putin & #Erdogan just finished bilateral talks. Instead of planned hour-long meeting they spent 2 hrs.
Topics discussed are quite evident judging by #Russia's lineup:
- #Lavrov
- FP aide Ushakov
- energy minister Novak
- defense minister #Shoigu
- #Syria special envoy Lavrentiev

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
