Well... here we go again..... Two points....
First, without any consultation and/or discussions with the Pentagon, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Foreign Service leaders, the Intelligence Community, our allies, or the Congressional Leadership of both Houses.... this "Monarch"... "Autocrat", "Dictator" AGAIN leads by Tweet? Much to the surprise and, in some cases, outrage, the White House Moron, announces a complete withdrawal from Syria and abandonment of our anti- Al Qaeda allies, the Kurds. Our withdrawal, making the leader of Turkey smile, exposes the Kurds to a bloodbath with a Turkish invasion of the North of Syria to stamp out their presence in that region. So, the cracked Trump Plan via Tweet, shocks the strategic community, the reasoned thinkers and planners, and exposes us to ally abandonment, Kurd Ally slaughter, and the benefit of Russia, Iran, and Turkey. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?
Since an announcement via tweet and more, King Trump issues an immediate withdrawal of all US troops from our military alliance with the Kurds and others in Syria. The objective was to snuff out Al Qaeda/ISIS in their North Syria holdout with the cooperation of the Kurdish fighters who assembled to help. With support of our allies, including NATO, but with the discomfort of the President of Turkey, this joint force succeeded. In order to keep the smoldering ashes of Al Qaeda/ISIS from re-generating and flaming up once again, we have continued in presence and intel gathering to keep the lid well sealed. With the help and sacrifice of the Kurds, and the absence of Turkish involvement, the plan worked. However, right now, Trump orders our military to evacuate and, in so doing, exposes our Kurd allies to an eminent attack from Turkish forces on the west of Northern Syria. Without consultation with other allies or our Military Advisers,Trump has announced the abandonment of our Kurd allies - subjecting them to bloodshed and destruction by Turkish forces that we have kept in abeyance by our presence on the field of battle. Again, our departure benefits Turkey's plan to destroy the Kurds who they view as "terrorists" while we see them in reality as anti-terrorist "allies." So, who benefits? The interest here is Russia and Iran who will step into a void both as defenders of Syria and elsewhere in the region - including Afghanistan. Nevermind that our allies will see that we have the bad habit of turning our backs on them when Trump see some advantage in doing so, regardless of the pain inflicted, the long-term impact could be a near-term and long-term disaster.

| Build a STONEWALL - Southern Border AND Congressional Committees! |
SECOND, King Trump - AGAIN - refuses to comply with the US Constitution and ORDERS other Federal Employees - those with knowledge of the events of the past to REFUSE TO TESTIFY BEFORE CONGRESS ... and the Courts too. Building a "Stonewall" - A Presidential Cone of Silence, an Obstruction of Justice buried under a tweet-storm, is an outrage, a violation of the Constitution and federal law, and an embarrassment. Is it time to pull the impeachment "trigger?" Can Monarch Trump give himself pardons, immunity, and block the other two branches of our democracy- the Congress and the Judiciary- from requiring factual, truthful testimony? Why is this "King" hiding behind a curtain and preventing the truth from being told? Well.. he and some other Presidents shared a view - that the President cannot be charged with anything while in office. And, that explains why Trump thirsts for re-election.... as protection against the Mueller finding expressed in his Investigation Report - that Trump could be charged once out of office.... Time to go......
Trump and his Congressional allies - McConnell and others - continue to dismantle our Democracy, erode the balanced constitutional sharing of authority and decision-making power, and simply ignore that he does not have the authority of a Monarch or a Dictator. The Trump mangling of our system of government, dating back to 1789 - 230 years - it is time to pause, stop, and to reverse course. The tower of freedom that was constructed by our founders centuries ago in history, became an example of democratic governmental function and individual freedom. Our Constitutional balance-of-power system shared by three branches of government, was "tweeked" through modest and few Constitutional Amendments, not "tweets," over more than two centuries. The adoption of American Law, its interpretation and clarifying the law through our Judicial system has expanded and improved the American Experiment. Still, in the past three years to date, the Trump insanity has undertaken a march into the past, a reversal of the direction that our democracy has carefully constructed and eroding a bridge to the future that we have built together. Dismantling that bridge, disconnecting our democracy, and impeding our future isn't a map to a free democratic future. It IS a disastrous disconnect from our past, our ideals, and the American Dream. I repeat.... IT IS TIME FOR TRUMP TO GO.....
Stand Up! Speak Out! March On! Tick-tock..... 2020
