Adam Schiff: "America may not have a friend left after this presidency."



Adam Schiff ✔ @RepAdamSchiff

European nations are some of our closest allies. Our security is intertwined.

If Trump's impulsive capitulation to Erdogan leads to a resurgence of ISIS, it threatens everyone- in Syria, in Europe, and here at home.

America may not have a friend left after this presidency.


MSNBC ✔ @MSNBC

Replying to @MSNBC
BREAKING: President Trump: Captured ISIS fighters held by Kurds in northern Syria “are going to be escaping to Europe, that’s where they want to go, back to their homes.”

Not everyone around the world blames America's problems on just Donald Trump. They blame the American people for doing nothing about it. Trump is not to blame. America is to blame.

Even if we do get rid of him and elect a "team blue" president, everyone knows that in four years once the "shiny object" isn't so shiny anymore we (America) might elect another dipshit worse than Trump. Why would anyone trust us?

It's America Last. The cheese stands alone.

Making America isolated. Hows' that for a strategy? You elect a guy like that when you have a death wish and want to end a country for good.

This scenario is what I call a move to extreme vulnerability. That's another burn from tRump. He's going to get us real bad if he can. National security is getting punched in the face repeatedly and maliciously, and that also threatens global security as well, well, maybe not for the key players in this obvious game.

The ugly Americans, we better change that quickly because we will be looked down on, for letting this killer and con artist to stay as so called pResident.

We better get our shit together, not focusing on DU'ers with my comment.

Plus who will be running to our aid if we get into trouble we will be alone.

Is that what that imbecile said the Kurds want to go back home to Europe???? what a fucking stupid POS.

Just kidding, of course. But why would trump asking for favors of this sort be any more acceptable than my request?

Or eric prince would have a few thousand private soldiers in real us uniforms "secure" the congress. Trump would then simply have to order the real army to stand down.

After the dem bodies are removed, congress would resume under princes watchful eye.

And all the news would be positive.


Far fetched? Really?

I'm pleased by something I noticed this week: I drive by a construction site almost daily and there was one particular truck with a giant blue trump flag on the back. I think it's the same truck, but the flag is gone. Maybe he lost it. Maybe someone stole it. But I'm glad there's one less flag.

And that can only happen if we, the people, are able to elect intelligent, honorable, trustworthy people to both the Presidency, and the Congress.
We have to undo what this immoral, unethical, dishonest President and his Congressional enablers have done.
It's going to take a long time to do this.

Michelle Obama and Adam Schiff.

Just think: Michelle Obama is loved around the world. She appoints her husband Ambassador At Large and together they fix the disaster Trump has caused.

And Adam Schiff is Trump’s worst nightmare. He, Attorney General Harris and Secretary of State Warren, will arrest, try and imprison the entire Trump Administration - including Trump’s evil spawn - and expel from the country all the foreign malefactors Trump was being influenced by.

As to the properties we will seize from Trump...my recommendation is to place all the golf courses under the National Park Service and operate them as golf courses. He has very good golf courses, and the profits from them will help to recover the country from Trump’s reign of error.
