Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

You polluting more is technically change.

I'm not going to. I want to.

[Methais]

I'm not going to. I want to.

THAT'S CHANGE TOO

I thought this was satire at first.

Greta Thunberg Wins GQ ‘Men of the Year’ Award – Appears on October Cover

Honestly... this 16 year old, with her extensive scientific background.. is just as believable as anyone else they've trotted out saying we need socialism to save the planet.

Trump after walking back his troop withdrawal in Syria:

as I have stated before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I've done before!),

I'm sure Turkey is glad he's not going to do that again. What a nut job. Great and unmatched wisdom... pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, I am the great Wizard of Oz! I will destroy your economy! again!

Apparently we're at the 'threatening fellow NATO members' phase again.

[Astray]

Apparently we're at the 'threatening fellow NATO members' phase again.

Pretty goddamn embarrassing.

That "NATO member" is threatening to murder all of the people in the area that we are backing the minute we withdraw our troops.

I get why people don't like Trump, he had the audacity to win in a fair election against Hillary after all. But why are we pretending everyone Trump attacks are automatically good guys?

Who's pretending that? Trump capitulated to the Turkish without fully understanding the ramifications. Then he comes back with his ridiculous "I am the great and terrible Oz" tweet. In our case, the automatically good guys are the Kurds, our allies in the war in Syria and Iraq.

"Capitulated" to Turkey? Give me a break.

Then when he tells Turkey they better not attack our allies or their economy will suffer you then call Trump an idiot. I'm not sure but I get the feeling you are going to fault Trump no matter what he does.

It's ok, you don't need to put "capitulated" in quotes. It's apparent enough without them that he's throwing the Kurds under the bus.
