let's take step back: the Syria fiasco MAKES NO SENSE—none of it. why would Trump risk alienating the entire GOP during the time of impeachment in order to carry out the most incoherent and contradictory foreign policy in US history?
what on earth is driving this president? THAT'S the question that's not being asked by DC press
also, we no longer have a functioning president. might be nice if press leaned into that a bit, too

latest example of how GOP ‘working the refs’ pays off; dailykos.com/story/2019/10/…
so strange that as Trump presidency collapses in a heap of lies and criminality, CNN feels they need to hire a guy who will tell lies on behalf of Trump
hiring people who lie for Trump, whom CNN anchors then have to fact-check in real time

what’s the point?

my latest—just when press seemed to be turning a corner re: Trump coverage; dailykos.com/story/2019/10/…
key point: It's not up to CNN and other media players to hire bad actors simply because the conservative movement is filled with bad actors.
news outlets ought to have easily identifiable standards, and if would-be paid contributors can't meet those standards, they should not be hired.

my latest—DC press means never having to say yr sorry to a Democrat; dailykos.com/stories/2019/1…

-Network news aired 100 mins of Clinton email coverage vs. 32 mins for *all* policy coverage in 2016.
the ugly truth abt Clinton email coverage;

#Syria #Iraq #Lebanon are multi sectarian societies

1-Lebanon had its civil war & now uses unwritten confessional system based on 1932 census to keep the peace. It is “practically” partitioned with each sect largely living alone. (Dahie, Hamra, Kaslik)

As for Iraq & Syria ==>
2-#Iraq had its Tsunami over a decade ago. A minority sect was forcefully removed from power by the US Army. Keeping the peace has required hard work - Witness the rise of #ISIS and the Mosul takeover. Like Lebanon “Practical” partition has also been the modus operandi
3-As for #Syria , the leadership always tried to distinguish the country’s society from those of Lebanon & Iraq by suppressing / refusing to bring sectarian tendencies out in the open. Syria was to be above the rest of the region. We were all just Arab nationalists Wu Khalas

#RedOctober-ArrestsAreImminent
@ObamaTruth1
1/ #QAnon

#Fal$eFlag

Consider:
1. #Trump says he wants out of #Syria.
2. #Assad has essentially won. Why create an event to draw a response?
3. Immediately after Trump tweets about leaving Syria, there is a #ChemicalAttack.
4. #Israel attacks Syria last night.

Ask WHY??
2/ Anyone who has been following things can see that the #DeepState wants #War.

WHY?

Military-industrial complex.
Oil.
and worse (depopulation).

Too hard to believe? Look at the patterns (now and in the past)...do they fit?
3/ #Trump works out a deal w/#NK (back in November)...after our October bombing took out their major nuclear facility and 200 scientists.

As background, the #DeepState was using #NK as a puppet regime to hold us hostage...they wanted #WAR.
