I should stop leaving it in the bathroom where it's so easy to find.

I've been known to take them in the woods too though.

Danish woods are so small you'd find it anyway :(

Apparently there's been no review process and no consultation either with the military, or with senators or with Allied powers in the area: is anyone else as cynical as me in imagining that Trump is announcing the withdrawal from Syria to deflect from recent PR disasters?
- Comey's speech about Republicans remaining silent as Trump lies about an FBI "break in" and calls a witness cooperating with the FBI "a rat"
- the judge forcing Flynn to destroy the whole Fox/Guilliani/Trump narrative that Flynn was somehow tricked by the FBI - and then going on to voice his disgust that Flynn had "sold out his country".
- the Trump foundation turns out to be a charity the same way Trump University was a university.

( oops! Sorry I interrupted this thread with a news item :shycouch:)

If he wanted to deflect he’d amp up US presence in Syria not withdraw

Like me, he doesn’t care about the news cycle because it doesn’t affect him

All this “bad week” **** on TV doesn’t phase him - he’s not going to jail and the same people love him and the same people hate him

He knows Syria’s a loser and doesn’t want to be LBJ.

Not only that, there's really no right answer with Syria PR-wise. The media will call him a puppet of either the Saudis or Putin. They write the headlines beforehand and just fill in the blanks on key nouns when it comes time to publish.

I agree with you on these points:-

^ To judge from tonight's news, withdrawal has done the trick of deflection, and it also ties in with his campaign promises. It even superficially plays into the notion that Trump is solving America's overseas problems: North Korea: sorted, ISIS: finished. Unfortunately, neither is true.

^ It's widely reported that, like me, he is addicted to watching cable news channels, and it's also possible that he is already, or in the future will be under sealed indictment.

^That's a neat remark, Anteater, but it doesn't stand up to any serious scrutiny of course.

You know when someone big dies and NYT has a 10,000 word eulogy out immediately?

They most definitely do have pre-written articles bashing Trump whatever he does. This way he’s sucking Russian cob that way Saudi...

Imagine wanting the jump on the story. It is like that.
