I honestly wasn't even thinking about his drone policy when I wrote that, and I should have been. Obama has often come across as unrealistically idealistic and I'm still not certain to this day if that was genuine but it feels like he was advised that the drones we're the most surgical way to deal with terrorist camps without being honest about the civilian impact of mistakes, which seemed far too common.
I'm almost sure that in his mind he thought he was saving lives and further bloodshed by using the drones instead of boots on the ground but the program should never have been legal.
Well no shit, Donald. Why would there be collusion with Russia in a tax fraud case?
Chelsea was really likable hanging out on Hbomberguy's leftist-all stars DK64 Twitch stream raising money for Mermaids.
I think she should have testified, but I understand why she has supporters in not doing so.

When the usual people online start hyping something it never happens
I'm of the mindset that this is a correct reading of a lot of Obama's foreign policy. Amibguous Cad is correct to refer to international relations as anarchic. It's a realm that, building on the assumption that the United States will inherently have a global role replete with all of its economic, military, and cultural power, often boils down to "all options suck; which sucks least?"
And drilling down into a lot of Obama's IR policies, one conclusion comes up time and time again - he was often paralyzed as to the best course of action, which in turn meant either going with the status quo or relenting decision-making to others. David Sanger's The Perfect Weapon, about the very short but explosive history of cyber warfare, is a prime example of this. Sanger points to numerous decisions made between 2010 and 2016 that largely kept, as just one example, the military and other institutions from combating Russian interference in elections.
To expand on that, it came down to multiple questions, each with implications. Do we let the public know about this, with the understanding that it will foster doubt in elections? Do we not let them know, knowing that has its own implications about trust? How do we retaliate? Do we try for sanctions on the country, with ramifications for ourselves and numerous European allies? Do we attack Putin directly (this was considered VERY heavily)? Do we freeze the Russian oligarchy's accounts? Do we shut down Russian internet availability?
None of those have good answers. They all carry terrible consequences.
And you can do this exercise across any IR topic. Take TPP. True, the TPP had numerous flaws, but withdrawing from it is probably going to lead to far worse circumstances for the US than if we'd remained a partner.
That all said, on drone strikes I am pretty much in lock step with Amibguous Cad. I think you can use them, they are indeed better than invasions. But dear lord, the policies surrounding them are vile and so easily could have been improved.
God we are going to be stuck with her for the next 40 years. She literally got popular because she was somewhat ok with the gays and John McCain's daughter. Nothing about her amounts to anything else.
When you can't even properly explain what your problem is with something maybe there wasn't a problem in the first place 🤔
If Meadows really wants more daylight on what "allay concerns" was, then sure - bring up again that the President threatened Cohen's family. I'm sure Meadows will benefit from that. They don't always think this through.

Pelosi's comments and the Politico article's contents/timing make me think that people are underestimating just how personally this was taken by some inside senior House Dem membership as a factor in what went down.

White wing talking points signal boosted by Fox News picked up by the usual congressional suspects.
10 hours over four meetings. Not 10 hours right before Cohen's testimony.
There's some sort of long-standing idea that the children of politicians understand or have anything relevant to say about politics that is infuriating.
Don't get me wrong, a lot of kids go into the same fields their parents do, and do so admirably and competently, but politics isn't the same as a lot of fields. There's no formal training, no grand textbook to follow, so we resort to propping up people who were simply around the field.
I see alot of people hanging their hopes on Manaforts trial next week but people are forgetting that this is the judge that PROFUSELY apologized for revoking his bail after he was caught witness tampering. Judging from the transcripts she was visibly distraught for having to send a rich white person to jail, and i fully expect her to give him a similar sentence that he got yesterday and to run them concurrently.
He will be given credit for time served which is almost a year, and he'll get out a year early for good behavior, roughly 2 and a half years. Trump won't even need to pardon him.

"I really don't want to have to do this." Was the phrase I remember from back then.
Trump's lot really lucked out when they got these judges, they didn't have to do anything and Mueller's team busted their asses for nothing.
Those cartoons are fucking AMAZING. Particular the Omar ones.
I hate to tinfoil hat but that really doesn't look like her, and this isn't the first time. How can this keep happening?
Bad angle plus shadow from her bangs making it look like she has jowels.
Would make sense for Bill Shine to basically cancel all press conferences so Fox news got exclusive access.
THIS AIN'T FUCKIN' MELANIA, Y'ALL.
EDIT: Already covered, carry on.
