The news trickling out of Syria fed increasing Republican anger, as lawmakers, former officials and analysts reacted throughout the day, and the US military stayed conspicuously silent.
'Sickening'
"News from Syria is sickening," Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the third-ranking Republican in the House, tweeted Wednesday, echoing lawmakers across the spectrum. "Turkish troops preparing to invade Syria from the north, Russian-backed forces from the south, ISIS fighters attacking Raqqa. Impossible to understand why @realDonaldTrump is leaving America's allies to be slaughtered and enabling the return of ISIS."
Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio noted that "at request of this administration the Kurds served as the primary ground fighters against ISIS in Syria so U.S. troops wouldn't have to." Then, he charged, the administration "cut deal with Erdogan allowing him to wipe them out. Damage to our reputation & national interest will be extraordinary & long lasting."
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland on Wednesday announced a framework to place immediate sanctions on senior Turkish government officials, ban all US military business and military transactions with Turkey, and immediately activate 2017 sanctions on the country until Ankara stops its operations against the Kurds.
"This unlawful and unwarranted attack against an American friend and partner threatens the lives and livelihoods of millions of civilians, many of whom have already fled from their homes elsewhere in Syria to find safety in this region," Graham and Van Hollen said in a statement.
"This invasion will ensure the resurgence of ISIS in Syria, embolden America's enemies including Al Qaeda, Iran, and Russia, and launch yet another endless conflict in what had been, until today, one of the most safe and stable areas of Syria and a region experimenting with the best model of local governance currently available in that war-torn country."
Trump's political rallys are intriguing. We've never seen rallys like this from other American or western leaders of free nations before except when they are campaigning. The only other world leaders I can think of that dis it were Mao Zadong, Aldolf Hilter, Fidel Castro, Joseph Stalin, Hugo Chavez, and whoever is Dear Leader of North Korea at the time. Interesting company he keeps. All cult of personality figures at war with the free press.
Great night for the President and his supporters inside and across the country.
Got to agree. Rudy's boys Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman were part of a conspiracy to funnel foreign money into U.S. elections. We know Trump is a law and order President so he should be thrilled that these thugs were picked up, & it happended on the same day as a Trump rally. Excitement everwhere & leadership by example. America first! Nothing but sacrafice by our President aimed at eliminating corruption in our elections.

Same old script just a different crisis.....It's all meant to scare the incumbent spineless Republicans in Congress...Hold a goofball rally the likes of which haven't been seen since, well, the last rally. Bring out the same gullible white crowd who thinks a self professed billionaire actually gives a sh@t about their plight in life.
I'll give little Donnie this much, he can lie his @ss off with the best of them....Or are his supporters just too stupid to recognize the con? Inquiring minds want to know.....

Have you heard of "My Pillow?" Of course you have, right? Well Mike Lindell was there last nite showing support for the President. An American manufacturer creating American jobs. A great success story.

Pretty sad that a full arena that includes the My Pillow Guy = a "great night" for a President of the United States of America. How profound.
I'd be more impressed if someone like one of the generals or NSA guys who were in his admin were there. Oh...I forgot they left Trump because they wouldn't work for the idiot. But yes...go pillow man.
I'll rest well tonight knowing Donald Trump led the renaissance in American made pillow manufacturing. Of course my well rested head will have been brought to me by the great Mike Lindell...Is this the best Trump can take credit for? Wow....

As I look closely at the underside of the pillow I notice a red "MAGA" logo with small embroider lettering just beneath it with the words "Brought to you by Donald Trump and Mike Lindell." Anyone else notice it?

Or maybe this is a knockoff made under one of Ivanka's Chinese patents.
You can't see it because the dog is in the way, but I'm pretty sure this is the bonus promo pillow that comes with this foto printed on it for a few $ extra.

Actually no, I've never heard of My Pillow or Mike Lindell. However, I can imagine that if he is super rich he might support Trump for saving him millions on his taxes and shifting that tax burden to the middle class and the poor.

The Target Center seats 20K. In Twin Cities of nearly 1 million people, Donnie's group therapy session is some kind of "win"?
At least Minneapolis's Mayor is making sure Donnie doesn't leave without paying the bill again.
Minneapolis mayor: We saw Trump stiffing cities for his other rallies, so we told him to pay up
By Jacob Frey
Oct. 12, 2019 at 4:40 p.m. EDTJacob Frey, a Democrat, is the mayor of Minneapolis.
Thanks to an administration in Washington committed to cutting federal funding for local government and a Congress plagued by gridlock, city leaders often face difficult choices without reliable outside support. And lacking the ability to levy an income tax, cities are then forced to rely on regressive property taxes for essential work.
So late last month when President Trump announced that he would hold a campaign rally in Minneapolis, where I’m the mayor, I had two questions about resources. First, how much extra work would city employees need to do? Second, how could the city secure reimbursement for those excess costs on behalf of the city’s taxpayers?
The venue the campaign chose, Target Center, is publicly owned but privately operated. Under the terms of the city’s contract with the operator, Minneapolis is entitled to reimbursement for certain costs. In our view, those include excess costs for public safety and traffic control, among other services. Had the venue been privately owned, we wouldn’t have had as much leverage to recoup costs.
As mayor, I have a responsibility to protect free speech, even from a president whose rhetoric and policies I find reprehensible. However, it is not my responsibility to subsidize it.
Using the same methodology that city staff relied on to calculate costs for other recent, large-scale events in Minneapolis such as the Super Bowl ($6 million) and the NCAA Men’s Final Four ($1.5 million), the projected bill for Trump’s campaign stop came out to $530,000.
It’s no secret that the president’s rallies pose real security concerns, and this event coincided with rush hour. Both factors contributed to that figure, which was higher than might have been incurred for an event with fewer security worries at a time of day without so much traffic. We informed the booking agent of the expected cost and requested payment.
Many things in this president’s life have been fluid.
He was once a pro-choice Democrat. He was for the Iraq War before he was against it. He famously disdained presidential golf outings, but now he can’t live without them.
One constant in Trump’s public and private careers? He doesn’t like paying his bills. Just ask the cities of El Paso, Tucson or Lebanon, Ohio, all of which are still waiting for the president to pick up his tab for costs their cities incurred hosting his campaign events. Just as some of the cities are large and some are small, so are the expenses and the unpaid bills — $570,000 from El Paso, $16,200 from Lebanon.
In Minneapolis, we need to ensure that our limited funds are put to good uses. Every opportunity we have to save taxpayer dollars and dedicate them to important matters such as affordable housing policy is an opportunity we must seize.
When the president learned that Minneapolis was seeking reimbursement, he did not call me directly to discuss details. He did not seek to better understand the terms of the contract. He took to Twitter to make threats, inflame his base ahead of the event and lash out at me and the diverse city I represent.
Having seen the strain his rallies have placed on other municipalities, I decided to stand up for Minneapolis taxpayers. That meant pushing Trump to do something that is both fundamental to society and antithetical to the way he operates: pay what he owes.
At this point, the matter remains a stand-off: The booking agent is still seeking payment from the Trump campaign, and our position continues to be that the city should be reimbursed.
If this episode holds lessons for other local officials, here they are. When the president brings his show to your town, there may well be avenues available to hold his campaign accountable for the costs it imposes. And if expecting your city to be reimbursed provokes Trump’s trademark abuse, it’s best to meet his incivility with civility and a bit of humor.
I mentioned earlier that Congress is marked by gridlock, and that it’s hamstringing cities’ ability to deliver for their residents. That’s no great insight. But perhaps one way to break that gridlock and better support cities lies in a simple campaign reform.
Congress should exercise its oversight authority and make clear that public-safety services constitute something of value to a political campaign. Consequently, cities that provide those services for a campaign would be automatically entitled to reimbursement from the campaign instead of being forced to act like a collection agency. As the 2020 campaign ramps up, that’s a rule that should have bipartisan buy-in and bipartisan application.

At least he's consistent. Trump treats American cities like he treated a multitude of private contractors before he became President. Just turn your head to it and all will be fine. Isn't this the way things whould be done?
I wonder if he ever paid off the bill for his "beautiful" DC July 4 celebration?

He treats America like this
