Can you imagine how the right would react if this was done by a dem president? They may have actually started a civil war over it.

    Wasn’t there legit a conspiracy theory about Obama or something opening foreign military base on US soil?

    Jade Helm, back in '14/'15 was a massive military training exercise across the Southwest. We'd been saber rattling across North Africa and the Middle East for ages, so this was larger than normal but not inconsistent with US foreign policy. Just another day in the paradise of the imperial core.

    But Republican influencers and spokesdorks jumped on it as an actual invasion of the territory being practiced over. Then several of the state governors chimed in, demanding that Obama halt his occupation of their states. We had a big rash of "Should Texas be allowed to secede?!" discourse. Obama issued an apology or some dumb shit. Republicans declared victory. Yadda yadda.

    The article has a quote that literally blames this on Biden and Obama.

    God damn people are fucking stupid.

    "Twenty-four years after foreign nationals trained in our flight schools flew planes into our buildings, our leaders are inviting their financiers to train inside our bases. This is what happens when you gut national-security training, scrub every mention of Islam, jihad, and Sharia from the manuals, and let Obama- and Biden-era bureaucrats turn counterterrorism into cultural sensitivity class. We’re being led by officials who no longer recognize or refuse to name the enemy they’re inviting into our own backyard."

    Nah its the Austrians. They keep insisting they don't have kangaroos but this picture I found of Hitler riding a kangaroo says otherwise. They will remain the enemy until I can enjoy a traditional oktoberfest, koala and all!

    Ack, I keep reading that as

    We’re being led by officials who no longer [recognize] or [refuse to name] the enemy they’re inviting into our own backyard.

    And I'm thinking "wait, which is it? Are you upset the officials no longer recognize the enemy or because they no longer refuse to name the enemy?"

    I get what they're trying to say, but it's not clearly stated.

    Christ on sale, these people are stupid. The GOP-led Congress could pass a law called the Fuck Our MAGA Simps In Particular Act, signed by Trump, and they'd still blame Obama.

    They weren't justifying they were explaining the decision making process.

    It's important to know why things happen even if it's for reasons you don't agree with.

    Singapore already has a base there for their F-15s, this isn't anything new so the locals probably won't care or even see the Qatari pilots.

    I don't agree with any of this but I also don't think we should let the media manipulate us with bait that isn't going to go anywhere.

    We need to keep pressing Epstein, everything else is misdirection.

    The joke/issue that you seem to be missing is that Idaho, in general but that area specifically, bought hard into the islamophobia propaganda campaign that was part of the fascist power grab of the early 00s and has only doubled down since.

    For what legitimate purpose could Qatar have to put a military facility on Idaho? And Trump and Hegseth have absolutely no legitimate reason to allow it. Clearly payback for the bribery of the Plane and future bribes.

    More importantly, they probably bought unknown quantities of his $TRUMP crypto.

    Don't need to mess with shady crypto for corruption, the law allows presidents to get unlimited "presidential library donations" from anyone, for example foreign entities, individuals seeking presidential pardons and corporations

    I just love, that even in this, they seem to find a way to still, blame Obama and Biden for it.

  • Given how many kids he has fucked his entire life and lifelong friendship with Epstein (who himself was a known pervert even back in his high school days), and his business failures and need for money that often came from the Mafia or foreign sources such as Russia, the fucker doesn't have skeletons in the closet. He has more skeletons around his home and yard than a skeleton-obsessed Halloween decorator.

    I'm surprised you're confused about their surprise. When do they think critically about anything? They are racist and hateful. When (not if) things finally come around to hurt them they will cry foul. They deserve all their suffering.

    Do you regret giving him a pass for that $200 million plane bribe?

  • source

  • [–] 2 points 1 year ago (1 child)

    That's about half the plane bribe, it's actually estimated to be around $400 million. There's also several billion more in Qatari bribes transferred via sketchy business deals involving Trump's crypto scams, golf courses, hotels, etc.

    Close ally to President Trump, Laura Loomer, lamented the news after advocating that the administration declare the Muslim Brotherhood an international terrorist organization.

    "Well, I guess this isn’t going to happen since we just gave the Muslim Brotherhood an air base in Idaho. So much for my decade worth of hard work trying to protect Americans from the threat of Islamic terror," said Loomer about the new base.

    Lololol

    "No foreign country should have a military base on U.S. soil," she also said. "Especially Islamic countries. I have never felt more betrayed by the GOP than I do now watching Islamic jihadists get away with implementing Sharia law in the US and now they are getting their own airbase where they will train to kill Americans."

    It's a weird feeling to be surprised by someone holding to a set of principles (surrounded by a party where any position can be compromised for cash/dear-leader/whatever's happening with Fetterman) even when those principles are disgustingly abhorrent.

    Also, in totally unrelated news, Trump's personal wealth jumped by another half billion dollars thanks to his personal cryptocurrency suddenly going up in value.
