Why a single, solitary Kurd continues to believe a single, solitary word spoken by a representative of the United States government is a mystery to me.
Those poor saps get sold more often than a hot gun in Albuquerque.
• Extra Credit Chazbo: Meanwhile, I hate to kick off the week with two “Yeah, what Chazbo said” posts, but if Joe “Mr. Clean” Biden doesn’t want to apply for the job with a vengeance, let him get the fuck out of the queue. God save us from another “But it’s my turn!” candidate.

Left out to dry. Allies of the US are never going to believe a single thing Trump says…with good reason. This guy is a habitual liar and schemer for himself.
October 7, 2019 at 8:43 am |
I guess they couldn’t give Pompeo any dirt on the Bidens to fetch back to Ginger Hitler?
Boy, I would hate to be the next American to ask a Kurd for a favor.

I had the privilege of working with the Kurds in northern Iraq during Provide Comfort (No Fly Zone) in the early 1990’s and also when about 6000 of them were evacuated to Guam in the late 1990’s.
The overwhelming majority of those evacuated ultimately came to the mainland US and they have become US citizens. I’ve had the pleasure of reconnecting with several here in Colorado — all of them and their families are good, positively contributing US citizens.
Must be tough for them to watch from afar the continuing sad saga of their fellow Kurds.
October 7, 2019 at 8:42 am |
“Good, positively contributing U.S. citizens.” We could do with a few more of those.
More Kurds, fewer Turds, sez I.
October 8, 2019 at 7:11 am |
I’ll second you on that. Gimme someone who chose to be here over someone accidentally born here.

Same shit, different day/war.

I have an acquaintance that worked in Naval Intelligence in the 80 s and 90 s. He said turks would ask for meetings with the Kurds and after the meetings and US reps,left the Turks would bomb the Kurds back to the Stone age and commit horrible atrocities. Some things never change. The poor Kurds always get nailed and they are the best allies the U. S. has in irag and Syris. God damn shame.
October 7, 2019 at 12:14 pm |
The Kurds bore the brunt of fighting ISIS, especially in Iraq. Sold them out. Pulled our forces back, NOT OUT.
“As I have stated strongly 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!)” Trump tweeted.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to question great and unmatched wisdom. Did he quit yet? Have the repubs had enough of this idiot?
October 7, 2019 at 12:18 pm |
Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with this guy. Stable genius. The great and unmatched wisdom that somehow fails to include the political awareness acquired by your average middle-schooler: that one may not impeach a member of the House of Representatives.
Meanwhile, Mother Jones reminds us of his conflict of interest as regards Turkey.

Vlad says my golden showers video and twin towers in Instanbul say you need to back off in Syria. Seems there is some corruption in Ukraine though.

“I’ve done before!”
Was he going for the cheezburger cat meme? If so, nailed it!
October 7, 2019 at 5:48 pm |
and so, another ally sold out. It’s a wonder any nation or peoples still deal with the USA.
October 7, 2019 at 7:30 pm |
Never fear. President Great N. Unmatched has a beautiful plan. It’s perfect. Just ask him, if you don’t mind being impeached for treason. Or something like that.
Jesus H., etc. Dude’s got enough voices in his head to form a glee club composed entirely of schizophrenics, the dissociative identity disordered, and former Uriah Heap members.
October 7, 2019 at 7:31 pm |
Well, is anyone up to the mud fight with The Asshole in Chief? Kinda reminds me of that old saw: Never Wrestle with a Pig. You Both Get Dirty and the Pig Likes It.
Should challenge the AHOTUS to a duel, like in the old days of Burr vs. Hamilton. Mr Bone Spurs would hide under his desk.

Near as I can tell Pelosi is poking him with as many sharp sticks as she can lay hands upon, hoping he finally snaps like an old rubber band in some hellish public spectacle that causes even Louie Gohmert to go all like, “OK, now, that’s a bit much.”
Where that gets us I have no idea. If President Great N. Unmatched gets hauled off to the screw factory for rethreading, well, Pence has got stink on him, too, so that leaves us with the speaker of the House next in line. The Turtle would eat a country mile of runny shit to keep Pelosi out of the Oval Office.

Oh, Gods its just too much to think about after driving all day from The People’s Republic of Boulder.

The Decker Fire was really pluming as I drove through. Sheesh. Looks like it spotted in dozens of places.

My man Hal has been snapping some shots of that fire as he motors around south-central Colorado with the Custer County cross-country team. He hasn’t been updating the ol’ blogaroo, but if any of yis are on FaceButt yous can probably see ’em there. He also recently ButtFaced a piece about his adventures with a spooked burro named, appropriately, Blue Rodeo.

As I’ve written many times Nonna Pelosi knows what she’s doing. What I’m wondering about Orange Hitler’s latest ramblings, is anyone re-thinking the 25th Amendment idea that was floating around awhile back? I think this guy needs to be wheeled out of the White House in a straight jacket like Hannibal Lecter. VP Q-tip, while a hypocrite of the highest order is at least not insane compared to Don the Con.

I’d settle for the bughouse or the big house. One of them there.

You posters have to settle on whether its Ginger Hitler or Orange Hitler. I prefer the latter out of respect for Ginger Rogers, Ginger Baker and Vernors Ginger Ale. Actually, calling him Adolph Trump has sizable impact when talking to Rethuglican devotees I’ve learned first hand. They get pretty worked up. It’s fun to watch.
I do think Moscow Mitch is an excellent moniker.

How about Vlad’s Lad?

Cheetoh Mussolini
Genghis Can’t
Agent Orange
Adolph Twittler
October 8, 2019 at 7:28 am |
Genghis Can’t is good. I haven’t heard that one before.
I’m fond of Agent Orange too. And Adolf Twitler (my favored spelling).
October 8, 2019 at 7:36 am |
And, AHOTUS, i.e., Ass Hole of the United States. Not that its fair to disrespect assholes.
October 8, 2019 at 7:40 am |
Also, SCROTUS (Shameless Crook Ripping Off the United States). Could be Sudafed Crazed Ruler of the United States, too.
Didn’t we drug test this motherfucker before hiring him? Shit, you gotta pass a drug test to work the roller grill at a Circle K.
