I think everyone is aware that Bernie’s campaign essentially ended with his heart attack last week and he’s admitted that he’s “scaling back”.  Worse, it’s now being reported that his daughter in law, Rainè Riggs, died suddenly a few weeks ago from a rare disease.  Riggs was married to Levi Sanders, Bernie’s son.  I believe Bernie is done.

I personally thought it was a terrible idea for Bernie to run again this year when the stage was set  perfectly for him to be a major player in guiding the Democratic Party into the post Trump era.  I didn’t want it to end this way, though.

Just to make Trump look like a bigger sucker, Erdogan tweeted his plans to invade the Kurds in Syria.

Our aim is to destroy the terror corridor which is trying to be established on our southern border and to bring peace and peace to the region,” Erdogan tweeted.

He tweeted it.

Son. Of. A. Bitch.

A National Security Council source with direct knowledge of the discussions told Newsweek that Trump got “rolled” by Erdogan.

“President Trump was definitely out-negotiated and only endorsed the troop withdraw to make it look like we are getting something—but we are not getting something,” the National Security Council source told Newsweek. “The U.S. national security has entered a state of increased danger for decades to come because the president has no spine and that’s the bottom line.”

Yeah, he’s letting the big boys use the United States like a welcome mat.  He’s a wussy and we need to start calling him that.

He’s gonna hate it.

Breaking news this morning:

US Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland has been told by the State Department to not appear this morning before the House.

Sondland was set to be on the hot seat Tuesday as House investigators pressed him about text messages he exchanged related to President Donald Trump’s July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the freezing of foreign aid to Ukraine.

It’s really not a very big deal. They are probably just doing it because he has something to hide.

Trump tweets the reason —

… he would be testifying before a totally compromised kangaroo court, where Republican’s rights have been taken away, and true facts are not allowed out …

Wait, wait. We removed the Republican congressmen from the committee?  We don’t let them ask questions?

So who’s keeping a list of the Articles of Impeachment?  Add this.

Today in DC, even among the Senate Invertebrates, backlash was swift and loud after Trump announced that he was unilaterally pulling out of Syria and handing it over to the Turks, Assad, and, of course, the Russians.  Even Little Lindsey Graham found his voice.

Responding to the uproar, Trump tweets:

“In my great and unmatched wisdom…” Yes, he really said that.  Who the hell talks like that.  It’s bad enough that he unilaterally decides, against ALL advice, to hand Syria over to the bad guys, and bad enough that he threatens to “totally destroy and obliterate” the Turkish economy; but he actually used the words “great and unmatched wisdom”?  It’s like he’s hired Kim Jong Un’s speech writer.

Hey, Moscow Mitch, are we DONE yet?
