Hard agree. SNEAKERS is a great-ass movie.

President trump implying the US doesn't owe the kurds because they didn't help the US in Normandy?

Is their context I'm missing that makes this comment understandable?

'The president appears to have been referring to a Tuesday Townhall column by Kurt Schlichter praising Trump for his decision. “The Kurds helped destroy ISIS, true. It’s also true that the Kurds would have fought ISIS anyway, since the psycho caliphate was right next door,” Schlichter writes. “Let’s be honest—the Kurds didn’t show up for us at Normandy or Inchon or Khe Sanh or Kandahar.”'

Anyway, I'm thinking of becoming one of those guys who still gets red in the face with rage every 45 minutes about Benghazi, but handwaves away the Prez facilitating Turkey doing a genocide on the Kurds.

Repeating someone else's nonsense doesn't make it any better. Such a ridiculous argument.

Wasn't Cool Hand Luke Paul Newman?

Okay, buckle up. Today's events are rolling hard and fast!

Two Giuliani Associates Tied to Ukraine Scandal Arrested on Campaign Finance Charges.
They were arrested last night at Dulles Airport trying to flee the country.
William Barr found out 12 hours ago they were going to be arrested...and they were fleeing the country this morning. Probablity that he tipped them off immediately? High...it's high.
These two are also a part of Trump's legal team.

President of Ukraine swears there was no blackmail.
No... really... he crossed his heart and hoped to die and everything.

Stupid liberals! This isn't even about Ukraine, this is a different, completely unrelated case of corruption involving Giuliani! You guys look like fools right now!
