Republicans and democrats condemn Trump's plan to pull US troops out of Syria. This bad decision is made without consulting with pentagon and state department advisors. Bad timed retreat would allow Turkey to launch an attack against Kurdish fighters who supported the US. Trump's betrayal would lead to the slaughter of allies and force release of thousands of ISIS prisoners. Darkhorse12 is right that the resulting chaos in region would benefit US enemies.

Any of you trump-pets in here agree with the decision to abandon the Kurds in Syria, if so would you also explain how this is not a gift to putin and assaud.
Probably many of them do not care. They will keep supporting and voting for Donald J Trump, even he and the GOP are desperately trying to take away their health care insurances. Political ideology makes people silly and incomprehensible.

Crickets as expected,
It's difficult to defend the indefensible.

Question to all you liberal War Hawks ....Has Congressdeclared a war in Syria...has Congress even authorized the use of military force in Syria?
If, we are in Syria fighting, putting our soldiers are risk of death and if we are spending money to support that war...Congress must have approved the war after 5 or more years..right?,

“A precipitous withdrawal of U.S. forces from Syria would only benefit Russia, Iran, and the Assad regime. And it would increase the risk that ISIS and other terrorist groups regroup."--Sen. Mitch McConnell
Talk to McConnell, SaratosaSlim. He says POS is helping Russia, Iran and Assad.

The US military and President Trump destroyed ISIS at some point in time. Let our 50 or so volunteer warriors come home. They completed their mission. Trump is right. Let the region knock iSIS out if necessary. While we are at it. Bring all our volunteer warriors home from Afghanistan. They have also completed their mission. No brainer. The recently activated Marines might need help defending treasonous forces inside the Homeland.

Can you read? How could that be answering a question with a question. Your GOP Senate leader says POTUS is helping Russia, Ashad by withdrawing US troops from Syria. End of the story.

Yes,I can read...however I see that you cannot comprehend..the question to you was: Has Congressdeclared a war in Syria...has Congress even authorized the use of military force in Syria?
Whether or not McConnall says the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Syria would only benefit Russia, Iran, and the Assad regime is an entirely different topic and does not answer my question..
So,,I'm going to put down as "You don't know the answer" and move on..

Who cares your question if Congress passed or authorized a war in Syria, or not. POTUS will cave in his US troop withdraw from Syria when GOP Senate gathers boiling point against him.

77 groups protest Trump's order to eliminate scientific advisory committees according to Union of concerned scientists. This order would threaten public health or safety and government ability to make smart policies based on evidence for the public good. Committees provide vital information to policymakers in a cost effective way. Protesters include scientific societies, public health experts, universities, civil rights advocates, unions, farmers plus groups on ethics and transparency.

Unlike past administrations, Trump continues to lose vast majority of lawsuits in government. No president is above the law. First, appeals court rules Trump's accountants must disclose his financial records to House of representatives. It has the constitional right to investigate wrongdoing by the president. Trump's claim that he is immune to congress oversight has no basis in law.
Secondly, a federal judge blocks Trump's crude policy banning visas for poor immigrants who might need government assistance. Experts warn the policy would endanger the health and safety of immigrant families plus impose costs of emergency healthcare onto local/state governments and hospitals. Judge rules there is no justification for changing definition of public charge. Hypocritical of Trump to force immigrants to have healthcare insurance while not making Americans equally responsible.
Third, another federal judge rules Trump violates the law by reallocating federal funds via emergency order to build his border wall. Under the constitution, presidents cannot override congress authority to decide how to spend funds.

Not according to the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School is a non-partisan law and public
policy institute that is sometimes seen as liberal or progressive.
Elizabeth Goitein, co-director of the Brennan Center for Justice.."So
if he can really just sign his name to a piece of paper, whether it is a
real emergency or not," she adds, "that creates a state of emergency
that gives him access to these special powers that are contained in more
than 100 different provisions of law that Congress has passed over the
years."...
There's a statute (10 U.S.C. § 2808 - U.S. Code ) that lets a president reprogram unobligated funds that Congress has appropriated for military construction projects.

Sure they did.
And Mexico is paying for his wall too.

Powers of presidents may be broad but not unlimited. Judge rules Trump's declaration is a fake emergency under the Emergency act. Ilegal border crossings are near their lowest point in decades. No proof barriers led to a drop in crimes but instead El Paso suffers harm to its reputation and economy. This is a legal victory for plaintiffs El Paso county and Border network for human rights.
According to Brennan center for justice, Trump destroys his own case for a emergency. The fact Trump hesitates so long suggests no national security crisis except for his creation of humanitarian crisis. Legal experts question whether 100 provisions of law authorize building of wall. Wrong to divert money which would be better spend on military projects. In history, dictators declare emergencies to abuse power.

Wall Street has doubts after partial trade deal: ‘I don’t think this gets us to Christmas’--CNBC
Investors cheer a partial trade deal with China but soon realize there is no clear timeline for removing existing tariffs.
Either Pres. Trump or Chinese has to cave in to reach a real truce to end this trade war. Let's see who blinks first.

The border is a military priority. People from another country are entering another land, taking resources (living space, welfare, school space reserved for citizens, etc)and attempting to become "citizens" by occupation while abusing liberal and human rights laws, which are used to ENTICE them to cross illegally. This is the duty of the military. Trump is using his executive powers legally and can use these funds at his discretion for national security. The courts have already ruled to this effect. It does not matter what the Brennan people are trumpeting, only the courts. But they are free however, to express their opinions.
If the border is a military priority perhaps you can explain why the military is doing everything it possibly can to avoid border duty. Why are they (the military) not suggesting the construction funds be diverted to cover deployment expenses, so that they can "defend" the country? We have tens of thousands of army and marine personnel in the Southeastern U.S., and thousands more across the country that are not exactly eager to get to the border. If it were the Russians or Chinese invading, would they then decide it was time to defend the border, or do as they are now, and leave it up to others? If there is a military emergency, why is there NO military response? Your argument holds no water; because the military want nothing to do with the problem. Their Commander in Chief will not deploy them because HE does not consider it a military priority.

The commander-in-chief,( supreme commander) is the person that exercises supreme command and control over an armed forces or a military branch... not the other way around....
