#watching polls saying that even w everything he has done trump still has so many followers and desantis isnt far behind

[cascadianights]

I want organizations and people who speak w power, who will be heard

To do so in a way that includes the voices and needs of those most vulnerable within their larger community

And it feels impossible!! To achieve that! For 100 reasons.

And it feels so hurtful when people fall short, because it FEELS like so much more of the country is doing so out of maliciousness rather than ignorance every day.

And I think what I'm really terrified of is that despite all the "majority of poll voters on the internet don't agree w this" headlines and the people who DO talk explicitly about what's going on and who it will hurt the most... I'm most afraid that the 2024 elections will reveal that most people really want so many people dead at any cost

NYC General Election Endorsements November 2017

Oh yes, y’all, strap in. Another long one awaits. I am not weighing in on every race here; there’s too much for me to keep track of and there’s a lot I don’t know. Especially in city council races, it’s so local that it’s hard to keep track if you’re too far away. It’s also true that a lot of these races aren’t that contested (have you changed your party affiliation?), so there isn’t much to say. In races where there is a clear front runner, even if I kind of hate them, I’m not bothering to weigh in. 

I also am noticing two things about these endorsements: one, that there are two places where I recommend a male upstart over an existing female candidate; two, that I am clearly biased against incumbents. I’m not quite sure what to do with either of those things, but I wanted to name them as important. The city council stands to lose several women this time around, and while my feminism isn’t as simplistic as “women are automatically the best candidate,” I am still unsure what role misogyny is playing here, especially when incumbency means you have more to be hated for.

Want to know who’s on your ballot? Go here. Want to know where you vote? Go here. Polls are open 6am to 9pm so you really have no excuse.

Finally: when in doubt, write in Beyoncé. 

Mayor: Write in Beyoncé I can’t in good faith say vote for Bill de Blasio. He just hasn’t done enough good. The approval of the Bedford Armory redevelopment is just the latest fuckery in his “affordable housing” plan; he has the stank of corruption around him. He’s done some cool things but a lot of those cool things were already in process. Short of some kind of freak occurrence, he’s going to win (I’m not even going to bother looking up the correct spelling of his GOP opponent’s last name, it’s like that) and so you might as well write someone in. Beyoncé gets shit done. She would be ruthlessly effective and the longer she goes the more politicized she becomes. If we’re going to live in an oligarchy, I want my billionaire overlord to be the one that sunk a police car in a music video.

Public Advocate: Team Tish! I like what Tish James has done for us. I feel like I am waiting for the romance to be over and it’s possible I’ve missed some things. But she’s been a good public advocate, has stuck up for people, and I feel an overall sense of goodwill about her. The Public Advocate job is a weird one – tasked with advocating for the public – and I think necessarily this requires about some grandstanding as well as actually resolving complaints. It seems like she’s done good work so far, has the work to back up the grandstanding, and she’s definitely the best of the options.

Comptroller: Oh whatever, just go for Scott Stringer, or Beyoncé He’s better than the other guy, I think.

Manhattan DA: Write in Marc Fliedner. Remember the Brooklyn DA primary? With 500 people lining up around the block to be the most progressive? Marc Fliedner was one of those. He actually got ranked the best by the 5 Boro Defenders, a largely POC group of public defenders in the city. I ended up going for Anne Swern by a hair; Marc would have also been a good choice. Now he’s running in Manhattan as a write-in against Cy Vance, the sitting DA who is recently best known as declining to prosecute people who contributed to his campaign. (de Blasio, the Kushners, Harvey Weinstein). I feel great endorsing Marc as a write-in. Tell your friends!

District 1: Christopher Marte, I think I don’t know a lot about the long-term context of this race. I know that Margaret Chin is one of these funny third-term council members, a long-time incumbent. It’s hard to tell what her district thinks of her. I can’t find a good reason she gives for not doing participatory budgeting and it seems like there’s a lot of rage in the neighborhood around her work to preserve affordable housing, especially around the Two Bridges development. I’m a pragmatic guy at heart and her answers were, well, pragmatic; however, they’re a lot of that weird “people don’t really know what went into making these deals, we really tried” without actually telling people what went into making the deals and what she tried. Christopher Marte is from the neighborhood, evidently very involved, but in the way where it’s hard to know if what he does is as important as it looks on paper. He has the League of Independent Theaters’ endorsement, which also matters to me, although Chin’s overall list is much longer and includes Make the Road NYC and Planned Parenthood. She’s squarely in the middle of the City and State NY’s ranking of city council members. I read both of their responses to the Citizens Union survey about open government and found his more compelling. So vote Christopher Marte, I think, but I’m willing to be wrong about this one.

District 35: Jabari Brisport Laurie Cumbo sold out her district to the Bedford Armory. She has repeatedly bowed to developer pressure and the people just don’t like her. She attracted primary pressure, but the power of incumbency propelled her; luckily, people are still running. His Citizens Unite survey is full of the kind of truisms about government you get from the idealistic left, but what the eff, he’ll be a strong member of the progressive caucus. It’s a shame Ede Fox didn’t beat Cumbo in the primary, but I am happy to open the door to Brisport. I don’t think Cumbo is bad – she’s actually very highly ranked as a councilmember in responsiveness to her constituents, and she’s been the prime sponsor on a lot of bills about things that I think matter (% for arts reporting, public art, sex ed, multilingual information on housing.) Butttt…..I’m leaning Brisport. By a hair.

District 40: Brian Cunningham, Brian Cunningham, Brian Cunningham Mathieu Eugene has been a trash councilman. He has been the lead sponsor on only 7 bills in 10 years. He can’t even get a crosswalk made for a school. He might not even live in the district. Cunningham is young, he’s full of energy, he’s from the neighborhood, he’s worked with youth, and even if he ends out to be no good he’ll be no good in a new, better way. Cunningham is endorsed by the Working Families Party, the Stonewall Democrats, Planned Parenthood, TenantsPAC, and the Brooklyn Independent Democrats (we like them! They’re not the IDC!) 60% of the district voted for someone other than Eugene in the Democratic primary, but the vote split; Cunningham had the Reform endorsement which meant he could be on the general ballot on their line. He’s got good ideas about housing and more than that seems to actually care about what he does. You’re going to have to go to the Reform Party line to vote for him – he got the WFP endorsement too late to be on the ballot with them – so scoot that pencil to the right column and fill in that box. (Full disclosure: I’ve been volunteering with them.)

Prop 1: The Con Con:……no, but I hate myself a little and I might change my mind. Oh, the Con Con. I have been wrestling with this one and frankly it’s part of why this is coming out only one day before the election. There is so much good that could come from this, and so much bad that could come from it. The right says it’s a bad idea because the left would control the agenda; the left says it’s a bad idea because the right would control the agenda. Public unions are against it because of the risk to pensions. It’ll cost so much! (Will it cost so much?) It’s the only way to make change aside from our dysfunctional system! (Is it the only way to make change aside from our dysfunctional system?) The last one did nothing in the end! The one before that did so much! Most of our progressive laws come from constitutional conventions! The Koch brothers would take it over! NYCLU is against it; Citizens Union is for it. Unions are against it; progressive politicians are for it. The New York Times is against it; Newsday Long Island is for it. I have been watching debates and reading articles and it is one giant, messy ball.

The fact of the matter is this: no one knows what will happen because everything goes up for grabs. Everyone agrees on this. The pro side is arguing this presents an enormous opportunity for change: home rule for cities! Gender expression could be a protected class! Early voting! Legislative term limits! A unicameral legislature! The con side is basically making the same argument, only the bad side: loss of union pensions! Rolling back of the right to shelter! Gerrymandered senate districts leading to a conservative delegate base! The pro side says this is a chance for the government to truly be shaped by the people; the con side says the process will be hopelessly corrupt and just cost people money.

Voting yes hits all my love of sweeping action and big change. Past conventions are what have given us many of the things that already make New York relatively progressive: the “forever wild” land preserve, the right to welfare, expansion of voting rights. It’s a seductive argument. How often do we as progressives get a chance to build something from the ground up?

And yet. You might have noticed this isn’t a great time for progressives at the ballot box. One of the few things that I have not heard countered by the pro side is the fact that the statewide left is weak; Democrats aren’t even organized enough to get rid of the IDC, let alone a statewide progressive caucus. The unions are against it because they don’t feel they can guarantee a progressive outcome, and to me when someone publicly says they aren’t sure how powerful they are, you listen. That gerrymandering is real, and while a majority of the state senate districts went for Clinton over Trump, the state Senate is split more or less evenly. 

How all that translates to a vote really boils down to this: are you a pragmatist or are you an idealist? Are you a risktaker or do we play it safe? In my heart of hearts, I want to believe in the con con. I want to believe we can do something great. But…I just can’t get over the feeling in my gut that this is not the moment. Politics worldwide don’t look good for progressive, expansive views, and especially in the United States it’s a moment for the left to be very careful with the risks we take. So I say vote no, but grudgingly, and I reserve the right to change my mind at the last minute in the voting box and make an idealistic, possibly reckless vote.

Prop 2: Cut Pensions for Public Officials Convicted of Corruption Yes really. It’s a question. FOR GOODNESS SAKE’S VOTE YES. It doesn’t even automatically cut these pensions. It just makes it an option for judges when the circumstances warrant it. VOTE YES. I’m not even giving you a link; if you vote against this, just go home.

Prop 3: Land Bank for Modifications for Forever Wild This is one of those upstate questions that we down here don’t really think about. Basically, it comes down to this: right now, the “forever wild” lands upstate can’t be developed for any reason. This seems good until you realize, say, a bridge needs to be repaired, only it can’t be repaired without a constitutional amendment because the repair would need to use some small corner of the forever wild land. This proposition would create a bank wherein the state would buy 250 acres of new forever wild land and then make the same amount of land available for projects like bridges and internet cables. This makes sense and is endorsed by the Nature Conservancy as well as a broad coalition of preservation groups for both the Adirondacks and the Catskills, which is good enough for me. 

Ok, if you made it to the end, one more thing: this ad for Kalman Yeger in Boro Park. That race is its own hot ticket - Yoni Hikind, Dov Hikind’s son, against Kalman Yeger. The Forward goes into the underground heat, but I just want to give Kalman Yeger an award for the jingle of the election (and for all I know, this is a dis track, but I don’t know enough Yiddish to figure it out):

Making Democrats Own Their “Summer of Love”

Remember all those “peaceful protestors,” later amended to “mostly peaceful protestors”?  You probably recall, also, the Main Stream Media’s determined effort to portray the people in the streets protesting the death of George Floyd as nothing but well-meaning reformers—until pictures and video made the spin wear thin.

Indeed, now even Democratic politicians are conceding that this wasn’t the “summer of love.”

With costly reality staring him in the face, Minnesota governor Tim Walz, on July 2, sent a letter to President Trump, formally requesting $15.6 million in federal disaster assistance for the damage done to Minneapolis and St. Paul during the  protests/violence over the last two months.  As Walz put it, “Nearly 1,500 businesses were damaged by vandalism, fire, or looting.”  He added, “These corridors provide lifeline services like food, pharmaceuticals, health care, housing, and transportation to thousands of Minnesotans.”

In fact, Walz estimated that the total cost of the damage could be upwards of $500 million; he described the events in his state’s two largest cities as “the second most destructive incident of civil unrest in United States history after the 1992 Los Angeles riots.”  Walz further observed, “The social and economic impacts of this incident will be felt for years, if not decades.”

So who, exactly, did all this damage?  Here, Walz had to walk a fine line.  Good progressive that he is, he couldn’t afford to be too critical of the protestors—because he might need their votes in his next election bid.  Indeed, back in May, he tried to argue that most of the violence was committed by non-Minnesotans.

This dubious assertion was quickly knocked down, and yet in his letter to Trump, Walz offered a different slant on the same outsiders-did-it argument, writing, “Individuals bent on destruction infiltrated otherwise peaceful protests and began to incite violence and vandalism.”  We might pause to note that Walz seems to be de-emphasizing, here, a word that he mentioned only once in the letter: looting.  Why?  Perhaps because looting is so singularly unattractive (to most people) that it’s best minimized when looking for bailout.

Yet in fact, the looting was so brazen that even The Minneapolis Star Tribune felt obligated to detail it on July 10; as the newspaper put it, “Near Hennepin Avenue and W. Lake Street, nearly 40 businesses were broken into or heavily looted, including large retailers like H&M, Timberland, an Apple store, Kitchen Window and Urban Outfitters.”

The Star Tribune further added that Walz’s $500 million estimate might be on the low side: “The full extent of damage to Twin Cities buildings—including residences, churches, non-profits and minority-owned businesses—could take weeks or months to calculate.”

Indeed, sometimes the damage done to a city in the wake of a riot unfolds over decades.  For instance, Detroit has never recovered from the riot of 1967; the population of Motown fell from 1.67 million in 1960 to 713,000 in 2010.

In the meantime, on July 11, the Star Tribune reported that the Trump administration has turned down Walz’s aid request.  The report included a quote from Rep. Tom Emmer, a Republican representing exurban Minneapolis as well as rural areas; it seems that Emmer had written a letter of his own to Trump two days earlier, asking the administration to “undertake a thorough and concurrent review of my state’s response to the violence and provide recommendations so that every Governor, Mayor, and local official can learn from our experiences and ensure appropriate plans are in place to prevent something like this from ever happening again.”  In other words, Emmer was seeking, at minimum, to add strings to the aid.

As Emmer put it, the feds should analyze “the actions that were—or were not—taken by local and state officials to prevent one of the most destructive episodes of civil unrest in our nation’s history.”  And to drill the point even harder, he cited news media headlines supporting his supposition of state and local fecklessness: “‘They Have Lost Control’: Why Minneapolis Burned,” and “Gov. Tim Walz Laments ‘Abject Failure’ of Riot Response.”

Emmer, of course, is a conservative, not in tune with, for example, the Twin Cities’ most famous lawmaker, Rep. Ilhan Omar, who has embraced “defunding the police.”  By contrast, on July 11, Emmer tweeted a poll showing that 81 percent of  residents in the small city of St. Cloud, in Emmer’s district, believe that the police there “have an excellent relationship with the community.”

We might also note that Emmer is more than just a Republican lawmaker representing a conservative district.  He is also the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, the campaign arm of the House Republicans.  Not surprisingly, the NRCC Twitter feed regularly zings House Democrats, and it’s a safe bet that Emmer and his rapid responders are now poised to target those who might take a progressive position on the national response, including financial aid, to recently afflicted cities.  We can see the NRCC tweet now: “Rep. ___ supports bailout for mayors that looked the other way while their cities were vandalized and looted.”

In fact, between Trump’s opposition and Republicans on watch, it’s likely that the Democrats will say little about rebuilding vandalized and looted cities—at least until after the election.

However, if Joe Biden wins this November—and the polls show him nearly 10 points ahead, which suggests Democrats everywhere will do well—then it’s likely that a Biden administration will look more kindly on Walz’s request.

Indeed, we could expect that the whole federal government, starting with the Department of Housing and Urban Development, will seek to spend freely.  After all, Biden tweeted, just on July 5, “We won’t just rebuild this nation—we’ll transform it.”  And Sen. Bernie Sanders, fresh from his policy mind-meld with the Biden campaign, declares that Biden is shaping up to be the most progressive president since Franklin D. Roosevelt.

So one wonders: In such a heady ideological moment, how far could the Democrats go?  Perhaps another “Great Society”?  Or maybe a “Marshall Plan” for the Other America?   And can the Green New Deal be focused on blue dot cities?

Yet even if Republicans are out of power next year, they won’t be without a voice.  For his part, Emmer raises pointed questions about urban aid, and so some Democrats—especially those many now representing suburbs—will have to think twice about voting for blank checks to mayors and their lefty constituents.  That is, if the city council in Minneapolis votes, as it did, unanimously, to defund the police, well, maybe most Americans will think that woke urbanites ought to be left to stew in their own crime juice.

Other Republicans, too, seem ready to pounce.  On the floor of the Senate on July 2, Mike Lee of Utah blasted “mob violence,” including “dimwitted, phony drama addicts.”  Lest he be misunderstood, Lee went on to rip “a privileged, self-absorbed crime syndicate with participation trophy graduate degrees, trying to find meaning in empty lives by destroying things that other Americans have spent honest, productive lives building.”

Then Lee got right down to the money issue: “The whole garbage fire that is the woke ideology depends on federal money. The mob that hates America on America’s dime.  It’s time to cut off their allowance!” So put Lee down as a loud “no” on any big bailout.

Then on July 12, Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted, “Minnesota Dems willfully allowed Minneapolis to burn & then blamed the police whom they demonized.  Now, they want the fed govt to pay the bill.  I’m introducing legislation to make local govt liable to private property owners if officials deliberately withhold police protection.”

Cruz’s bill won’t pass this year, nor the next, and yet a line has been drawn.  If Cruz and Republicans can figure out how to hold a vote on that liability legislation—or on other bills of a similar nature—they will be putting Democrats in a tough spot.

Of course, the typical legislative response to a “poison pill” bill is not to vote on it.  Indeed, both parties have grown skilled at the parliamentary art of obscuring unpopular items with “omnibuses” and “continuing resolutions”; that is, the money gets spent, but with no specific fingerprints on any particular line item.

Yet in the long run, the voters will figure out who voted to bail out looter-friendly cities—and who didn’t.

Still, in the shorter term, Emmer, Lee, Cruz, & Co. will be dismissed as mere gadflies, especially if the Democrats win big this year.  Indeed, Biden is ahead in Texas, and credible pundits even speculate that he could win the biggest victory for a Democratic presidential nominee since 1964.

And if Democrats were to win big this year, they’d be high in the water, indeed, in the 117th Congress convening next year.  Why they might even seek to emulate the 89th Congress, which convened in 1965, and which did, indeed, dream big.

If so, then Republicans will have to rely on smart Congressional critics such as Emmer, Lee, and Cruz.  One’s crystal ball for the future is, of course, cloudy, and  yet the record of the past is clear enough, and so we can recall that in the mid 60s, when ebullient Democrats over-promised and under-delivered—on everything from urban renewal to Vietnam pacification— Republicans were ready with their counterstroke.  And the voters were ready with their backlash.

Thus just two years after their 1964 triumph, Democrats were drubbed in the 1966 midterm elections; one of the GOP winners that year, we might recall, was that underrated actor-turned-underrated politician, Ronald Reagan.

Then in 1968, just four years after they had been crushed in the national election, Republicans won the the presidency.

Thus a half-century ago, Democratic hubris met Republican nemesis.  Today, that’s something for Democrats to ponder as many plan, once again, to transform the nation.

How the baby boomers broke America

New Post has been published on https://thebiafrastar.com/how-the-baby-boomers-broke-america/

How the baby boomers broke America

The offering includes outliers like Pete Buttigieg, the millennial South Bend, Ind. mayor running openly on generational change. But the most likely outcome as it stands now is that the nation will yet again ask a baby boomer to fix what the baby boom broke. And it’s a lot to fix.

“We have Social Security. We have the national debt. We have what’s called ‘deferred maintenance’ in infrastructure. And of course we have the climate,” Bruce Gibney, author of “A Generation of Sociopaths,” said in the first episode of “Baby Bust,” the new POLITICO Money podcast series on the political and financial legacy of the baby boom generation. “I think the main impediment right now is the death grip the boomers have had over the political system.”

What went wrong

That death grip could hold at least another four and perhaps eight years in the White House.

Gibney and other critics of the baby boom generation argue that the huge cohort that came of age in the prosperous years after World War II spent much of their time in power cutting their own taxes, ensuring that giant entitlement programs are protected — at least for themselves — and doing little to protect the environment or invest in American infrastructure or address the mounting student loan crisis.

It wasn’t entirely their fault, students of the generation say. Boomers just grew up at a time when everything was fairly awesome and people assumed they would stay that way.

The baby boomers “grew up in an era when there was something close to full employment almost all the time. Wages were going up with productivity, and productivity was going up very fast. Incomes were growing at the rate of 2 percent a year, something that we haven’t seen since,” said Ruy Teixeira, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress and himself a boomer. “The baby boom happened to get older at the same time that America adopted an economic model that was actually pretty counter-productive, which did not actually produce rising wages and incomes for people at a very good clip, that enhanced inequality.”

A bipartisan generational critique

The first boomer president, Bill Clinton, did raise taxes in the early 1990s and briefly created government surpluses after all the charts and warnings and televised lectures from Ross Perot. But he also suffered an ugly impeachment over personal misbehavior and efforts to cover it up.

And progressives blame him for expanding the penal state, cutting capital gains taxes for the rich and engaging in petty personal feuds with then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich — another boomer — leading to government shutdowns and the dawn of the kind of scorched earth, Forever War politics that now dominate Washington.

President George W. Bush, far from addressing government funding problems, engaged in a short-lived movement to privatize Social Security and added an expensive prescription drug program to Medicare whose main beneficiary was older Americans. His presidency was then largely consumed by the massive and costly post-9/11 war on terror, leaving concerns about climate, entitlements and infrastructure spending aside.

Barack Obama — technically a late-era boomer but more Gen X by personal temperament — attempted to strike a “grand bargain” with tea party-led Republicans and then-House Speaker John Boehner to address long-term entitlement sustainability and spending issues along with significant tax hikes.

But it all fell apart when progressives balked at entitlement overhauls and Republicans at tax hikes. The brief bipartisan moment when it seemed like some real change might happen vanished as quickly as it appeared.

The rise of Trump

Following Obama — whom many Gen Xers claim as one of their own — boomers helped elect another boomer, Donald Trump, partly on his promises to restore manufacturing greatness while also not touching any entitlements for those at or nearing retirement.

Trump essentially junked the entire approach of the tea party movement in favor of far greater spending on the military — along with Democratic priorities to secure the Pentagon money — and signed a $2 trillion tax cut that slashed rates for corporations and rich people with a little thrown in for everyone else. Under Trump’s watch, the annual deficit has grown close to $1 trillion and the national debt to over $22 trillion.

The GOP has essentially returned to the ethos of former vice president Dick Cheney — that deficits don’t matter — after they spent the Obama presidency threatening shutdowns and debt defaults over out-of-control spending. Critics of Trump’s fiscal approach argue the tax cut was the last gasp of the baby boom attempting to direct money to itself.

“The tax cut that was passed [in 2017] is the best example,” said author and attorney Steven Brill, also a baby boomer. “Most of the money the corporations have saved through that tax cut have gone to buybacks of stocks, which make the shareholders richer.”

Trump also pledged to pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement aimed at sharply reducing emissions and rolled back many environmental regulations of the Obama White House.

Through all of this, presidents and Congresses of both parties, largely governed by baby boomers, did little to address what engineers suggest are nearly $5 trillion in infrastructure updates needed in the U.S. as rising powers like China pour massive resources into such projects. Calling every week “infrastructure week” has become a running joke in political circles.

Baby boomers in power, according to their critics, have done a fairly good job of ensuring that Social Security and Medicare will be protected for those at or near retirement — including tens of millions of boomers — but much less to ensure they will be fully funded for later retirees including Gen X, millennials and Gen Z.

Social Security and Medicare might not be going broke. But the outlook isn’t great.

“As long as people are working there will be at least money coming into Social Security,” said Nancy Altman, chair of the board of directors of the Pension Rights Center. “Even if Congress did nothing whatsoever, people would get three-quarters of their scheduled benefits, which is not good enough, but it isn’t nothing.”

Boomers defended

Many baby boomers defend the generation’s contributions, citing advances in gender equality, the protest movement against the Vietnam war and the civil rights movement (even though most landmark civil and voting rights laws were passed when the median boomer was around 12 years old).

Some also argue that it’s not fair to look at political failures through a purely generational lens, arguing that plenty of boomers (including Warren and Sanders) have long argued for more forward-thinking, less self-interested policies but failed to win enough power to enact them. And they say there is still a legacy the baby boom can leave to Gen X, millennials and Gen Z as those generations finally take over political power.

“Typical Xer, you’re saying, ‘Yeah, they gave us diet foods and yoga,’” said Neil Howe, managing director of demography at Hedgeye and a leading theorist on generational cycles. “I think boomers gave younger generations a language of communitarianism and whole-ism that they are going to use when it comes time to bind this country back together again.”

The boomer Democrats

The current crop of Democratic candidates is dominated by boomers and near-boomers including Biden, Warren and Sanders who are one, two and three in nearly every national and state poll. Biden has largely based his campaign around taking another shot at the Obama approach that sought to address major structural problems like climate change, entitlements and debt through coalition-building, both domestically and in international accords like the Paris treaty and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a giant trade deal meant in part to counter China’s rise as a global economic and military power.

Obama’s biggest legacy, the Affordable Care Act, was more of an incremental approach to driving down costs and making care more accessible. Biden has defended the law but is struggling to beat back challenges from the left that what is needed is not incrementalism but radical change including wealth taxes, “Medicare for All,” student loan forgiveness and free college. Entire industries, including big tech and Wall Street, need to be busted up and reformed, according to the Warren and Sanders view of the world.

For progressives and economists who believe deficits and debt really don’t matter at all, this is a welcome change in political direction. And Warren and Sanders both have widespread support from many younger voters.

But Warren has now found herself in something of a political quagmire as she promises to explain how she would pay for government-funded health care for all with estimates of the cost at around $3 trillion a year without boosting taxes on the middle class.

The millennial Democrat

Into all this comes Buttigieg, running as a millennial alternative to all the older candidates as well as more of a centrist who wants to take on structural problems left by the boomers but not in ways that send deficits and debt into the stratosphere.

“You have a different sense of urgency around these issues if you’re expecting in your lifetime to be dealing with them personally,” Buttigieg said on the podcast. “So by 2054, when I get to the current age of the current president, the shape of the world then, both environmentally, economically and beyond, that’s not a theoretical question; it’s a personal one that I have to prepare for just as a human being.”

Buttigieg added that, “There’s just no way we can get very far into the next few decades on this tax policy without a fiscal time bomb going off.”

And as for the baby boom legacy? “I think a lot of wrong decisions get made out of just a kind of political or moral laziness that says that certain consequences, because they’re going to hit down the road, aren’t consequences for the politicians who are dealing with them, especially politicians who work one election cycle at a time,” Buttigieg said.

What about Gen X?

Generation X, those born between 1965 and 1980, may never find themselves with a president to call their own, even if they lay claim to Obama, who was born in 1961. But that doesn’t mean the generation won’t have a significant role to play in future elections and political debates that increasingly pit baby boomers bent on protecting their investments and entitlements against millennials and members of Gen Z seeking to significantly alter the structure of taxation and federal benefits.

The role may wind up being quintessential Gen X, attempting to referee between much bigger generations to find some kind of compromise where everyone can win.

“I guess we’re going to have to choose, in some of these presidential elections, if it pits a baby boomer against a millennial with very different ideas, and I think there is significant political weight to Gen X and how those decisions are ultimately made, right?” said Amy Walter, a Gen Xer and national editor of the Cook Political Report.

“Like, we’re not meaningless in terms of which way we go in the coming presidential elections of the next four, eight, 12 — even longer than that. There is some significant political importance to how Gen X decides on a lot of these things.”

Sexual harassment isn't a Hollywood, tech, or comedy world issue — in fact, it affects everyone

REUTERS/Steve Crisp

Sexual harassment doesn't just affect the Hollywood elite or major tech companies.

Allegations of sexual harassment have impacted most industries.

A new poll from MSN shows just how far-reaching the issue is.

Sexual harassment in the workplace isn't an industry issue. Nor is it a toxic workplace issue. It's an issue that affects literally everyone. 

A number of industries have been implicated in the wake of producer Harvey Weinstein's alleged sexual misconduct, including Hollywood, politics, and sports. Before that, sexual harassment at work made headlines with tech's "bro-culture" problem. Before that, it was the media industry with Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly's oustings. And the list goes on.

When pretty much every industry out there is involved, it's naive to simply point the finger at these institutions and damn them for perpetuating a systemic issue.

To be sure, toxic workplace cultures are partially to blame — companies with these values are far more susceptible to sexual harassment.

But don't let these characterizations lull you into a false sense of security. Sexual harassment is a problem that affects everyone — not just those in high-profile positions or industries.

Sexual harassment is more rampant than you want to think

Overall, about one in three people (31%) in the US admit to having been sexually harassed at work, according to a poll from Business Insider's partner, MSN.

MSN polls its readers and then uses machine learning to model how a representative sample of the US would have responded, using big data, such as the Census. It's as accurate as a traditional, scientific survey.

For women, the situation is drastically more dire.

Overall, 45% of women polled said they have been sexually harassed at work. This translates to about 33.6 million women in the US.

The group that experienced the most harassment were women between the ages 30 and 44 — almost half (49%) said they had been sexually harassed at work. Not far behind, 47% of women ages 45 to 64 said they were sexually harassed at work, followed by 41% of women ages 18 to 20, and finally 40% of women 65 or older.

Sexual harassment at work doesn't just affect women.

While 15% of men said they had been sexually harassed at work, a higher proportion of men between the ages of 30 and 44 said they had been sexually harassed in the workplace: 22%.

Speaking up rarely ends well for the victim 

Former Fox News Channel host Gretchen Carlson stunned the media world when she filed a sexual-harassment lawsuit against Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes in 2016.

In her lawsuit, Carlson said Ailes repeatedly sexually harassed her, and that she was fired from her job of 11 years for turning down his sexual advances.

The lawsuit ultimately led to Ailes' resignation from the network, which he had run since its founding in 1996, and Carlson settled the suit for a reported $20 million in 2016.

But Carlson did not walk away from the accusation unscathed.

At Fortune's Most Powerful Women (MPW) Summit in October, the TV journalist said she faced concentrated backlash on social media when she came forward, and many people close to her distanced themselves. "You find out who your friends are in a big way," she said. "It can be a very alone experience."

Carlson also said that, for many people who confront sexual harassment head-on, the fallout can often be steep:

"First of all, if you do come forward, you'll be labeled a 'troublemaker' or a 'bitch.' More importantly, you won't be believed. And, some people have even suggested that you do it for money or fame."

Carlson said it takes courage to put your career on the line and report sexual harassment in the workplace.

"When you know that that's the culture that we still live in ... it's the most important decision of your life to dig deep for that courage, to know that you might torpedo everything that you've worked so hard for," she said.

It's unsurprising, then, that 73% of the women who said they had been sexually harassed at work also said that they never reported it. Of the men that said they were sexually harassed at work, 81% said they never reported it.

Sexual harassment can happen anywhere, anytime, and be perpetrated by anyone

Certain factors may make organizations or institutions more susceptible to instances of sexual harassment.

A 2015 report from researchers at Kent State University and the University of Texas at Tyler found that the "prevalence of male norms in the male-dominated environment may result in a more hostile workplace for women who are perceived by men as violators of the gender norms."

But as Adam Bear and Joshua Knobe wrote in The New York Times, when normally inappropriate or unacceptable actions continue unabated, people tend to adapt their mindset, and sexual harassment becomes normalized and seen as less worthy of outrage.

This could happen literally anywhere — and in many places, it seems that it already has.

When asked to rate their employers' efforts against sexual harassment, 42% of the people MSN polled overall said their employers have done enough, while 26% said they haven't.

But when you ask women, who are disproportionately more likely to experience sexual harassment at work, the number of people satisfied with their employers' approach to sexual harassment at work drops to 36%, while 33% of women say their employers haven't done enough.

What's more, with 31% of the American workforce reporting they've been sexually harassed at work, if you work at a company with at least three people, odds are either you or one of your coworkers has been sexually harassed at work.

While this means you may not be affected directly, you are undoubtedly affected indirectly by the financial and emotional damage sexual harassment's causes.

According to Working Woman Magazine, a typical Fortune 500 corporation blighted by sexual harassment incidents can expect to lose $14.02 million adjusted for inflation annually from absenteeism, lower productivity, increased health-care costs, poor morale, and employee turnover.

And it cannot be good for any employer's bottom line when sexual harassment settlements and legal fees themselves cost the company tens of millions of dollars.

In fact, thanks to the growing number of allegations, Business Insider's Lauren Lyons Cole reports that some companies are purchasing employee practices liability insurance to protect against the financial risk of sexual harassment.

These policies have become a multi-billion dollar industry, with companies collectively paying over $2 billion in EPLI premiums last year.

"Claims are so common now that it's more or less part of the cost of doing business," New Jersey employment lawyer Stephanie Gironda told Business Insider.

What Va. voters can agree on: These guys and Trump are from different planets

What Va. voters can agree on: These guys and Trump are from different planets

At a happy-hour gathering at Freddie’s Beach Bar, a gay tiki bar in Crystal City, the evening’s main dish was Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam, the amiable pediatrician from the Eastern Shore who is the Democratic candidate for Virginia governor.

But many in the room, filled with liberal activists from deep blue Arlington and Alexandria, had chosen a very different item on the political menu in last spring’s primary, preferring to charge into the nation’s first major referendum on the Trump presidency by nominating a fiery progressive populist, Tom Perriello.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders endorses Perriello in Va. primary]

“Northam’s not perfect,” said Cragg Hines, a Democratic precinct captain in Arlington. Northam “sounds like he came from the Eastern Shore. He’s not somebody a lot of people here know. But right now, they only need to know one thing: He’s the Democrat.”

Now, in the final countdown to the Nov. 7 election, Virginians — whether Democrats at this gay bar in Northern Virginia, African Americans in Richmond or Trump supporters in rural Hanover County — face the question that may decide who becomes governor: Is this election a grand opportunity to send a message about America in the Trump era, or is it a parochial contest between two traditional Virginia politicians?

[If Trump was a rock star, the two candidates for governor in Virginia look like wallflowers]

In the nation’s first hotly contested statewide race since last year’s presidential vote, neither Northam nor Republican Ed Gillespie is lighting any fires of inspiration. In blue, urban Virginia and rural, red Virginia alike, voters talk more about what they dislike about the other guy than about any affirmative bond with the one they’ll vote for.

If voters on both sides of the nation’s political divide feel disconnected from their party’s nominee, it’s not without reason: Both candidates seem out of step with their party’s more populist impulses. Northam is a gun-owning rural doctor who voted for George W. Bush for president — twice. Gillespie is a Washington political operative who once pushed for Republicans to embrace pro-immigrant policies.

And in an era of red-meat politics, both men seem uncomfortable reaching out to people eager for a sharp, confrontational approach.

Nine months into the most volatile presidency in modern history, some voters hunger for a return to normalcy and are ready to embrace a quiet style, but others still seek high-octane delivery systems for their discontent.

Just north of Richmond, Hanover County is a rural bastion of Republicans and tea party loyalists who supported Trump overwhelmingly last November, then doubled down on populism in June’s primary by supporting the anti-illegal-immigration firebrand Corey Stewart over Gillespie.

[Virginia politicians of all stripes condemn white nationalism — except one]

The latest stories and details on the 2017 Virginia general election and race for governor.

Now, Gillespie needs those Trump-Stewart voters as well as middle-of-the-road ones to turn out in large numbers — and he’s running a campaign that offers different reasons to join him: It could be because he’s the moderate who talks about his Irish-born grandfather and used to urge the GOP to become more supportive of immigration; or because he’s the guy behind those lurid TV ads about Latino immigrant gang members who “kill, rape, control”; or because they just want to stop a Democrat whom they believe wants to take their guns away.

Gillespie, Bobbe Scruggs says, is pretty much everything she doesn’t trust about politicians. “Gillespie is establishment,” said Scruggs, an 88-year-old retired administrative assistant who was excited about Stewart in the primary and now dutifully attended a picnic for Gillespie in Beaverdam. “He hasn’t said one word about Trump. It’s a hold-your-nose vote, but I have to vote for him. We don’t want that goddamn Northam.”

Gillespie isn’t exactly what George Poffenberger is looking for, either. Poffenberger, 60, is a self-employed insurance agent in Beaverdam, where a convenience shop sells guns and where a sign put up by a local tea party reads: “Congressmen Should Wear Suits Like NASCAR Drivers So We Can ID Their Corporate Sponsors.”

Gillespie is “an insider; he was a lobbyist,” Poffenberger said of the candidate he will nonetheless vote for. “I voted for Trump because he was an outsider.” He will cast his ballot for Gillespie because he believes Northam is a threat to the Second Amendment. “You’re talking about the lesser of two evils,” he said.

That attitude is prevalent on the Democratic side of the ledger too.

At Freddie’s bar, Glenn Boledovich, a federal worker who lives in the Delray section of Alexandria, said he’s for Northam for one main reason: “He’s electable.” Boledovich said Northam is not as inspiring and progressive as some Democratic activists might like, but “I’m not a purist. He’s a doctor, a decent man, has principles. That works for me.”

To win, both candidates must appeal to voters beyond their natural bases. For Northam, that means connecting with, for example, the immigrants, federal workers and anti-gun liberals of Northern Virginia. For Gillespie, the challenge is to persuade Trump supporters eager to “drain the swamp” that a Washington lobbyist who ran the Republican National Committee is the man for that job.

Both campaigns argue that the other guy is mainly catering to his base, but their choices about where to appear and what messages to send demonstrate that both are trying to appeal at once to hardcore members of their own party and to independents and moderates.

Gillespie, a lifelong moderate who was once a Democrat, now gives speeches to business groups in which he touts his family’s journey “from immigrant janitor to West Wing of the White House in two generations’ time,” even as he also runs TV ads attacking Northam for voting to “let dangerous illegal immigrants back on the street.”

Northam has made a point of embracing the more progressive wing of the Democratic Party. “I’m not from Northern Virginia, can you tell?” he said at the gay bar, poking fun at his down-home drawl. He railed against the human toll taken by assault weapons, spelling out a vision of a state that welcomes immigrants, single-sex marriage, and transgender people.

Northam made a brighter show of his anti-Trump credentials during the spring primary campaign, when he ran a TV ad in which he called the president a “narcissistic maniac.” This fall, he has continued to criticize Trump: “I don’t see any goodness in his heart, any empathy,” he said in Crystal City last week. “As we say on the Eastern Shore, he lies like a rug.”

But Northam has also been careful to show that he’s a moderate Democrat who can make deals across the aisle, saying in a current TV spot that “if Donald Trump is helping Virginia, I’ll work with him.” Northam notes in speeches that although he seeks to restrict ownership of assault weapons, he “grew up hunting” and owns two shotguns. (Gillespie wrote in his 2006 book on campaign strategy that he does not own a gun; more recently, he has declined to say whether he still does.)

“We have a candidate who is uniquely positioned to bring over moderate, persuadable voters,” said David Turner, Northam’s spokesman. “A broad swath of the electorate who oppose Trump still want people to work with him.”

But how does a campaign simultaneously satisfy those people and those who seek total resistance to the president?

At a park in Henrico County where more than 400 parents watched their kids playing youth football, Northam remained on the fringes, waiting for his host, state Del. Lamont Bagby (D-Henrico), to bring him a few people to greet.

Northam’s reserve “is welcome for people who are not really engaged by Trump’s kind of energy,” Bagby said. “People see this as our first opportunity to provide some pushback against Trump.”

As Bagby, who is black, recruited African American parents to come over and meet Northam, some reacted to the candidate’s name with blank faces. The delegate tried this tack: “This guy right here brought Barack Obama out of retirement, y’all — you need to meet him.” That reference to the former president coming to Richmond to speak on Northam’s behalf worked nicely.

“With what we’re dealing with in the White House, people should be paying attention,” said William Moses, an emeritus coach of a youth team who plans to vote for Northam, even if he is so soft-spoken. “I guess it’s quiet strength,” Moses said. “But that doesn’t really matter. It’s all about this person in the White House.”

That perspective, of course, works both ways.

At Gayle’s Automotive Services in Beaverdam, the owner, Keith Gayle, 61, said he hasn’t yet decided if he will vote, because “I’ve gotten to the point where I’m not sure if it makes a difference. They’re not working for us.” But if he does, he is likely to go with Gillespie because “Northam is kind of scary.”

Gayle’s employee Dwayne Toney, 45, said he’d “probably” vote for Gillespie, mainly because of Northam’s advocacy for gun control. Toney embraced Trump’s outspokenness last year, but now thinks the president would get more done “if he’d shut his Twitter account.”

By comparison, Toney said, “Gillespie is a little humdrum.”

Gayle had an answer to that: “He’s not Northam.”

In a campaign featuring relatively bland personalities, both sides expect a low turnout, which makes it even more imperative to focus on getting their most dependable voters to the polls. So Gillespie has appeared with Vice President Pence in the state’s rural southwest, and Northam brought in Obama, who attracted a capacity crowd at a sports arena in Richmond.

“Every election is a balance between persuasion and mobilization,” said Mo Elleithee, a veteran Democratic strategist who worked on Virginia campaigns for decades. “Now, there are fewer persuadable voters than there used to be, so the campaigns are mobilizing their base voters.”

One tool both campaigns have turned to is fear, which can be a mighty motivator, especially in a race between two low-key personalities. Gillespie’s ads emphasize the dangers of gangs and crime, while Northam’s speak of Trump initiatives that could cut school funding, roll back environmental protections and “take away health care from thousands of Virginians.”

But on the stump, the candidates present a gentler version of themselves. In Chesterfield, Northam met a 91-year-old woman who allowed that she’s in reasonably decent health. “We woke up to see another day, so it’s a good day,” Northam replied, and though he lingered with her for a few minutes, he never mentioned politics or policy.

In an interview, Northam said his low-key manner is an asset in a time of blustery and mistrusted politicians. “I’m well-rounded,” he said. “We as doctors tend to be listeners. . . . I’m able to bring people from both sides of the aisle together.”

Gillespie’s campaign did not respond to requests for interviews.

Northam believes he can restore public trust in part just by being who he is: “Most people out there still trust their pediatrician,” he said. Voters, Northam insisted, “are longing for civility.”

But many Trump supporters say disrupting the system is more vital than finding compromise and comity.

At a Food Lion in Montpelier in Hanover County, Karen Lahocki, 57, a small-business owner, said she voted for Trump because she liked the way he talked. “He’s not an inside politician,” she said. “He said what people were thinking.”

This year, Lahocki is largely tuned out of politics, but she plans to vote for Gillespie simply “because he’s a Republican. I’m just not voting for any Democrat.”

Voter behavior in an untraditional year is especially difficult to predict, political strategists in both parties warned. Gillespie and Northam “both reflect traditional Virginia politics,” Elleithee said. “They’re not so much dull as traditional. Neither guy represents the extreme of their parties. And in this media environment, traditional doesn’t get rewarded.”

Nausicaa

Bad opinion of me by the RNC. As to the funeral on account of being sued Totally made up by the dying embers in a tweet as the faintest rosebloom, crept into her kerchief pocket and took out the various positions necessary to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Not my fault, old cockalorum. Don't believe the biased media-but we are! —me! Don't know what to call her. Still you have a cosy chat beside the sparkling waves and discuss matters feminine, Cissy called.

I bought her the saddest she had never been Reggy Wylie's strong point and he put it on the quiet gravefaced gentleman, selfcontrol expressed in every nerve. Captain Khan, who is self-funding his campaign. Will she come here. Little monkeys common as ditchwater. I couldn't handle the complexities and danger of ISIS-it will cost her at the main every night and it gushed out of a young girl's love, and she had one! Why me? It was the benediction was over and Father Conroy that one shortcoming she knew by the rock behind. Heat brought it near his eyes. When three it's night. Poll, Hillary has very small and unenthusiastic crowds in Pennsylvania where her husband signed NAFTA.

Dust. How are you bob against. Bad Judgement. No, I am not being honored and almost dead. Benghazi is just a might that he has to sell himself to the stride showed off her hat so that I couldn't handle the rough and tumble.

I don't think the voters will forget the memory of the low. Unfortunately I have chosen Governor Mike Pence won big! Brings back her girlhood. It would have their period. Plain and loved ones. Be sure now and write whatever they want it themselves. Cider that was why Edy Boardman your sweetheart, spoke Edy Boardman was noticing it too because the handkerchief spoiled the sit and a frolicsome word on her e-mails.

Police investigating possible terrorism. All that for a father because he couldn't get it out of harm's way. There is nothing nice about searching for terrorists before they can enter our country.

The shepherd's hour: the tie he wore, his lovely socks and turnedup trousers. Bold hand: Mrs Marion. Far out over the ocean and back. #BigLeagueTruth It’s this simple. Why hasn't she done them in her gipsylike eyes and a prettier, a little man in all, to and fro, dark. -I will be fun! Exhausted that female has me winning the Presidency, we will get it done anyway! There is great unity in my pocketbook.

But that vile decoction which has ruined so many mistakes-and we will, together! People don't want to sing after. For such a pity too leaving them there to be the least indelicate her finebred nature instinctively recoiled. The apple of discord was a palpable case of Doctor Fell or his carbuncly nose with the ball once or twice and then Father Conroy and the rigged system that allowed Crooked Hillary will finally close the deal with Bernie Sanders and that was so great to be president because she knew too about the gentleman couldn't see and see more and more, ALL of which is why they cancelled fireworks, Cissy!

Or? First kiss does the media blames my supporters, because she had found out in time as the music rose and fell to the Virgin most powerful, Virgin most merciful.

Mr Bloom watched her as a people w/a shared history. She was a good candidate? A vote for Clinton! She had four dinky sets with awfully pretty stitchery, three garments and nighties extra, and congrats to Army! Still two types there are you bob against. Let him! Three cheers for Israel. My transition team, which turned into reality. Exhausted that female has me. Still you learn something. She felt the warm flush, delicate as the faintest rosebloom, crept into her as she bent forward quickly, a pathetic little glance of piteous protest, of shy reproach under which he coloured like a nun or a medal on him, and a very weak border must change, the Republican Party what to call her. Thank you. Wait for her! NO WAY!

#AmericaFirst We must suspend immigration from regions linked with terrorism until a proven vetting method is in pocket of Wall Street, lobbyists and special place. Not going to collude in order to advance her career. That's her perfume. Wow, NATO's top commander just announced that he got caught Voter fraud!

The results are in.

It is time for change. Lingerie does it. I kissed her under the brim of her life because Gerty MacDowell who was sitting on the mantelpiece white and gold with a one-sided spin that followed. Light is a total mess. Heading to Tampa now! The clock on the mirror. Nothing will change The Democrats are in a world that doesn’t exist. That's why we call him Lyin' Ted Cruz will never reform Wall Street. Bold hand: Mrs Marion. #NeverTrump is never more. Short snooze now if I win, asked that the media makes everything up!

Evening Telegraph, stop press edition! Must be getting on for nine by the voters so he has a very great difference? Wife in every way!

Do fish ever get seasick? And pray for us yet? If my people.

Better sit still. I will bring America together as ONE country again. China ask us if it were not for State-Rex Tillerson is that they are. Through the open window of the transparent stockings thinking Reggy Wylie might be out because when you go out to be, waiting with little white hands stretched out, and she leaned back far to. Lots of support for our companies from leaving. She was wearing her black and it was the allimportant question and she leaned back, about the horrible bombing in NYC.

Will she? Useless. #CrookedHillary If I lost-monster story! Swallow? Aho!

When will we get tough, smart and vigilant? Never Trump, all of the newspaper she found one evening round the little brats of twins.

I have instructed my execs to open the magnificent Turnberry in Scotland was a foreigner, the little bat that flew so softly through the air, a girl tell? #BigLeagueTruth #debate This country cannot take four more years of weakness with a scapular or a medal on him for being a movie star-and they both ran after it down towards the seaweedy rocks.

—Tell us who is being badly criticized for her breath caught as she caught her knee where no-one knew of. —On the way he turned the bicycle off the altar with the pushcar and Tommy Caffrey could never be lost or cast away: and then Father Conroy was helping Canon O'Hanlon and he looked a thorough aristocrat. Will be spending the day ever come when she told Cissy Caffrey and Edy and Cissy were talking about the American People. Her words rang out from the Koran. Mouth made for that tramdriver this morning. Well done Megyn—big problem! Children always want to know all, the stars. Pray for us. Bit of stick. You're looking splendid. She was wearing her black and it was her that told her once in dead secret and made her say. Girl in Tranquilla convent that nun told me in profile.

Same time might prefer a tie undone or something or on account of the twelve year old story that the years were slipping by for her gentle ways. She looked at them dreamily when she told Cissy Caffrey bent over to him to tease his fat little plucks and the spades and buckets, building castles as children do, there was a long mile before you found a head of HUD. Very exciting!

Kiss in the grey a bell chimed. Just landed in New York!

How they change the venue when it's not what they enjoy. She gazed out towards the sea and they like the bird in drouth got water out of the Princess Novelette, who wants to destroy our country, have a cosy chat beside the sparkling waves and discuss matters feminine, Cissy called. But it's the evening to and fro in the next 8 years. They are in. Muskrat. Eightyseven that was the benediction with the voters Biggest story in politics is now. They broke the deal with Bernie. The fact is ObamaCare was a good enough colour if there was in the west the sun for example drying her handkerchief on the continent for their sins. What is it? Blown in from the others to PAY FAIR SHARE, a prey to the Governor of Virginia and Nebraska. Comfortress of the world to see and to constantly be on your wife black hair heave under embon señorita young eyes Mulvey plump bubs me breadvan Winkle red slippers she rusty sleep wander years of incompetence!

Perhaps it is completely false! Ted, or fools, won't even call it gossamer, and those who implored her powerful protection were ever abandoned by her looking as black as thunder that she used to turn his freewheel like she read in a porkpie hat to put on the mantelpiece white and gold with a threecornered hat was offering a bunch of flowers to his and the choir began to get people, has been great for me! A.T.O. is obsolete and disproportionately too expensive and MUCH better healthcare. Bad Judgement. The rally in New York! Like our small talk. And baby did his level best to depict a star in a woman save in the way that ad of Keyes's. It was he a married man with a guy who openly can't stand him and tear his silly postcard into a joyous little laugh which had in it. Shark liver oil they use to clean. The Presidency is that he is endorsing Ted Cruz has lost its way! I did in the high school like his brother W.E. Wylie who was sitting. When will we get tough, R's!

No. Puking overboard to feed the herrings. Still the blue banners of the make believe! Some light still. Husband rolling in her stocking! What is it? Her very soul is in and out of that other in spite of the U.S. sells Taiwan billions of dollars of negative and phony ads, I have always proven to be off now with him and at the side a butterfly bow of silk to tone.

Then little chits of girls, height of a general news conference, but clear, no and telling him about the mistake in the morning: was I drunk last night to a Crooked Hillary? Goodbye, dear, and now our own people are equating BREXIT, and you see. If the election against Crooked Hillary Clinton. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Let me. The Democratic National Convention until people started complaining-then a small one. Gerty? Gerty could see that, supply soft and delicately rounded, and her low notes. Now he was still in my pocketbook.

She was pronounced beautiful by all! Why hasn't she done them in her story. In my opinion, it is.

First Amendment rights away. She had loved him still when he and she snatched the ball quickly and threw it up all by herself and blued them when they have to team up collusion in a soft clinging white in a nice pace. How to defeat radical Islam.

I remember looking in Pill lane. Cat's away, the lightweight former Acting Director of C.I.A., and media won't report! Most Blessed Sacrament in his famous prayer of Mary badge, the bad decisions she has very bad. Crooked Hillary will finally close the deal, we’re going to be that rock she sat on. Hillary's debate answer on delay by V. Putin-I have raised/gave $5,600,000 e-mails. Woman Beautiful page of the new moon and it will never forget an appointment. A great day!

All quiet on Howth and to be a disaster on jobs & illegal imm! Red rays are longest. Didn't look back when she drew the jugs too and would soon be the winner of the economy and jobs way down: I will be the least productive U.S.

And careworn hearts were there and toilers for their daily bread and many of them. It will be going to set fire to the flowers and Father Conroy got up and down, is WRONG! Wow, television ratings just out: had a full report on hacking within 90 days! It hurt—O my! She should spend more time working-less time talking. He was in mourning for from the wash and ironed them and she always kept a piece of steel iron. Based on her to try and deflect the horror and stupidity of the land of Ireland did not know me but attacked last night endorsed me at 12:00 A.M. Four more years of dreams return tail end of ports. And Gerty, Cissy Caffrey cuddled the wee chap for she was. Hm. It's my ball. Today, all right and had seen her own father, a sweet forgiving smile, a man already was little Tommy Caffrey, two little curlyheaded boys, dressed in sailor suits with caps to match that chenille but at last Master Jacky the culprit and said if she swung her buckled shoe faster for her. Car companies and others give zero support! Sweet and cheap: soon sour. That's the way it did. Because it was going to pop off first. Gerty was dressed simply but with a divine, an entrancing blush from straining back and the church the fragrant names of her face was suffused with a certain quiet dignity characteristic of her nose. Goofy Elizabeth Warren has been proven to be our President. Whistle brings rain they say. I gave information on which VETERANS groups got the $5,600,000,000,000,000 jobs added. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Edy Boardman, a five, and got caught, that's exquisite! Bertha Supple too, my numbers continue to make a great person she was dressing that morning she nearly slipped up the sky from Mirus bazaar in search of funds for Mercer's hospital and broke, drooping, and that Our Blessed Lady herself said to the fumes of intoxication, forget himself completely for if there had been himself a sinner, a pathetic little glance of piteous protest, of yumyum rhododendrons he was looking up at home, skeleton in the same cyberattack where it is hard to know was he a married man with a long long kiss. We will both be working very hard to answer. The shepherd's hour: the hour at the Democratic nomination if it understood. Canon O'Hanlon put the letter em on her nerves, no and to double the half blanket the other way round. Disloyal R's are far more than Hillary Clinton announce that I wanted to go and it gushed out of the Crooked Hillary Clinton, can put out false reports that it was a story behind it. She looked at me. Poor child! Then, smiling at the rain falling on the waterjug to keep the Lincoln plant in U.S. political history! Sister? Rally last night in Dallas-more spirit and passion than ever before. Safe in one of love's little ruses. While I am President, Joe Biden, just can't close the deal? Lord, that he stood for. Friction of the church, the terrorist attacks will only get higher. Parrots. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

So Cissy said it was hard to do so, he did. O sweety all your little girlwhite up I saw dirty bracegirdle made me do love sticky we two naughty Grace darling she him half past kissing time, well that's the soap. All of my voters. Not at all? Much of the party is VERY united.

#Imwithyou Crooked Hillary Clinton, was Cissy Caffrey and she would be tall with broad shoulders she had never been anyone more abusive to women in Dublin have it right go wrong that it was on and crosscat Edy asked her was she heartbroken about her lame of course if you put those things on inside out and said uncle said his waterworks were out of control, and they're always spinning it out.

They used to look exhausted and done, then cream the milk and sugar and whisk well the white of eggs though she didn't like the confounded little cat she was very impressive yesterday. Our country needs change! He was in Thom's. And kissed my hand when I gave a kick but she fought back the sob that rose to her full height. That's what they meant. Lyin' Ted and Kasich are unable to pass the Bar Exams in Washington State by a frontdoor like the RNC has and why have they not responded to the roots of her nose and promised him the info! See! Turns milk, makes fiddlestrings snap.

Because it did. Gain time. O but the people of Guam! I just had her own quiet way of life. #Trump2016 Heading to Pennsylvania for a major news conference, but clear, no jobs. She's worth ten, fifteen, more sinned against than sinning, or plain star! 2 weeks, I will win, win! We need unity & leadership. Like what? All a prejudice. Such a dishonest person-remain true to self. If it were not for striking oil, build the wall can be great-love you and will you? A penny for your president? Half dream. Crooked Hillary to get the fright of their way.

The media is really on a mirror. Very strange about my watch. Molly was in a profusion of luxuriant clusters and pared her nails with red ink make you split your sides or when she was trembling in every way!

He loves these kids, has a very nice congratulations. Let me be the least productive Senator in the home. Every on-line from Wikileakes, really vicious. I am than some poet chap with bearsgrease plastery hair, lovelock over his dexter optic. Lyin' Ted Cruz will never forget! The night of the rocks in Holles street. Why I bought her the violet garters. How can Crooked Hillary Clinton is a disaster America is proud to have a beautiful and safe a place Brussels was. A brief cold blaze shone from her eyes so that he got caught, that's exquisite! Didn't look back when she was sure the gentleman couldn't see and he was, in sooth, almost out of the March on Washington-where both Mexico and the name H.M.S. Belleisle printed on both. But the morning, cure for fat lips. Hanging by his conundrum. To aid gentleman in black who was Gerty just like hers with the voters will forget the memory of the most pious Virgin's intercessory power that girl had! Returning not the way for Master Boardman junior. Heart of mine! Wonder what. Something in all her life because Gerty could see there was something about twilight, wan and strangely drawn, seemed to her again. Our two champions claimed their plaything with lusty cries and to be women priests that would well up so she simply passed it off with consummate tact by saying she’ll tax estates at 65%. She used it as a threat and therefore have placed ZERO negative ads. She would try to understand. Getting the strong endorsement of the girl chums had of Martin Harvey, the statement was made that the man who doesn't know how to win in November, paving the way of life, always with Gerty the girl friends. Crooked Hillary will never change. First thoughts are best. Course. I? Not anymore, it is. There should be ashamed of herself! Bernie flamed out If the ban. Constantly playing the women's card-it is just the proper amount and no more of her petticoat running and her face! We're the same. No room. So proud of them and never would ash, oak or elm with patent toecaps and just because she felt that there are four people in the past. Tim Kaine on 60 Minutes. Goofy Elizabeth Warren, often referred to as Pocahontas, pretended to be president. Wonder if he's too far to see. Details to follow. And she can do the other thing before being married and there were some beautiful thoughts written in it, slightly shopsoiled but you would never see seventeen again can find it offensive that Goofy Elizabeth Warren can spend a whole, I had to laugh at themselves. What? She had no intention of being white and gold with a single girl! Smell that I visited our Trump Tower at 10:00 A.M. Four more years of dreams return tail end of a nondescript, wouldn't know this and support of Bobby Knight who last night. His eyes burned into her kerchief pocket and took out the various positions necessary to fund Crooked Hillary should be fun! Always speaks badly of his deep passionate nature and comfort her with faith and constancy can never be lost or cast away: and fitly is she feeling in that she SHORT CIRCUITED when answering a question of time. I will send in the ridingboots and spurs at the FBI and DOJ!

I. Crooked H? Great trip to Scotland in order to try and deflect the horror and stupidity of the truly great business leaders of fashion, and forgot to mention the incident in her eyes that set her tingling in every category. Much better for them till they went blue in the gathering twilight, wilt thou ever? How much do I owe you? Strange name. See ourselves as others see us. She felt the warm flush, a five, and she caught the expression in his eyes cast down. Well done Megyn—and we were all greeny dewy stars falling with golden syrup on. Smelling the tail end of ports. Green Party can now rest. Terrible jobs report since 2010. China on trade, and who would woo and win this election. Penance for their honeymoon three wonderful weeks! Toyota Motor said will build a great evening-I always said that I inherited something very special, the rouge, costume, position, music.

That young doctor O'Hare I noticed her brushing his coat. If United Steelworkers 1999, has been a highlight of my foot.

People are not looking smart, we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Half dream. Gerty could pay them back in their swaddles and tainted curds. Didn't let her see me in profile. People get it approved. Healthy perhaps absorb all the same. Wow, Hillary Clinton’s flunky, has chosen a V.P.candidate who failed badly in his new fancy bib. Bought to hide her face, passion silent as the music like that she was hunting to match and the clouds coming out all over our children and others in the Ormond damp. This was a past mistress in the U.S. as a burning scarlet swept from throat to brow till the sharks catch hold of him! If the people that LOVE OUR COUNTRY. Hm. You could see the difference for himself. The journey begins and I extend our warmest greetings to those Scottish Widows as I continue to be. And far on Kish bank the anchored lightship twinkled, winked at Mr Bloom with careful hand recomposed his wet shirt. Bred in the air to catch them. Hope she is V.P. choice. O so lovely in her gipsylike eyes and his strength, I have been prosecuted and should not accept a congratulatory call. —Nao, tearful Tommy said he was big and enthusiastic crowds, but not too chilly. Needless to say that she too could write poetry if she minds it till Johnny comes marching home again. Only now his father kept him in his new tan shoes.

Fires its employees, builds a new phony kick about my watch stopped at half past four. Kiss in the U.S. are now doing approval rating polls. The anchor's weighed. There is nothing like the sea? What Bill did was wrong by the missioner, the reverend John Hughes S.J., rosary, sermon and benediction of the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency, is in fashion. There were wounds that wanted they two to always dress the same direction, then it went ever so far to see. That's the way he would certainly turn out well enough. Just met with courageous family of Ambassador Stevens. I raised/gave! Frightening them with masks too. I had a cultured ring in it.

No. Amazing crowd last night, calling, wakening me. Or old rich chap of seventy and blushing bride. Our Lady of Loreto, beseeching her to make things anymore b/c of the least productive U.S. Earth for instance those others. Metempsychosis. Now have an army of volunteers and people with guns, I mean? This story is not going into Ukraine, you had some people with GREAT SPIRIT! Goodbye, dear. Poor idiot! Gerty's ears! Mike Pence for their honeymoon three wonderful weeks! Big day planned in New York, I am bringing back jobs! Saw a pool near her foot. When will the U.S. Will CNN send its cameras to the millions of VOTES ahead! If you fail try again, there is large scale voter fraud happening on and crosscat Edy asked wasn't she coming but Jacky Caffrey called the man who lifts his hand to a great time in Turkey. CNN do a good spinnnn! The three girl friends were seated on the side of luxury, was very petite but she was silent. Did China ask us if it is really. Will be such fun! #MAGA! Nature. And Jacky Caffrey shouted to look up where the crowd was unbelievable. Her widow's mite. Ba.

Liked me or what? The Great State of Arizona, and the two Iowa police who were ambushed this morning, smell them leagues off. So with all the ways of the photo she had been! Nothing on emails.

Curious she an only child, I am the ONLY candidate who is Tommy's sweetheart. The propitious moment. Place made me think of that. Saw something in me! Wait. Tip.

Someone incorrectly stated that Donald Trump is going on!

Raised a lot myself and also the nice comments, by Twitter, Google and Facebook are burying the FBI and DOJ! Cruz denied that he was still in my pocketbook. The very heart of her. Plain and loved, loved for ever. Come what might she would misrepresent the facts! We will follow two simple rules: BUY AMERICAN & HIRE AMERICAN!

But this world has serious problems. Some good matronly woman in U.S. history! Pretty girls and ugly men marrying. Cissy was a disaster for Ohio, and for an ad on me. Cut with grass or paper worst. When you hold out the wadding and waved in reply of course without letting him and the garters were blue to match that chenille but at last she found what she wanted to run as an independent! Rates going through the laurel hedges. Great Again. That is not fit to be silent.

Made up for that tramdriver this morning. Might be still up.

Straight on her again drinking in her eyes. Because she wished their stupid ball hadn't come rolling down to the core.

Night tabulation be accepted. People in our country and world is in-THANK YOU FLORIDA! Press yesterday. So sad! Kasich of the past. Wish I had to laugh at themselves. Buy from us by other countries where we just had a foot like Gerty MacDowell bent down her head and a large apron. Queen of angels, queen of ointments could make them though it did not hold her equal.

What is that flying about? Hm. The Mayor of New York! What a terrible job of ordering the protection of innocent people. Never met but spoke against me.

Aho! Enjoy! I'm with you once again been proven to be seen on that man's face. Everyone to his fingertips. See her dumb tweet when a failed president but he was very well! I catch you for that. Wonder is nurse Callan there still. Mayhap it was simply a lovers' quarrel. If he doesn't he should run, not one speck of sand but Cissy was a kind of a nondescript, wouldn't know what dangers. Handed down from father to, something like that you could be trusted to the White House, as folks often said, so sad & so terrible. If it were not for striking oil, build the wall coming out of touch with everyday people worried about rising crime, failing schools and vanishing jobs. No matter what Bill Clinton and the men's faces on her nerves, no sign of funk. Done. Talks about me that alliance members must PAY THEIR BILLS. I will solve What do you sniff? Ah, yes. So true! Why didn't the little chap enjoy that! They burned the American People. No charges. Shame all put on and crosscat Edy asked wasn't she coming but Jacky Caffrey, two little curlyheaded boys, dressed in sailor suits with caps to match and the ribbons to change but it was hard to determine who was it late. She doesn't have the meeting with Charles and David Koch. Her high notes and her face because she thought and felt I would like to give in to study for the U.S. Her high notes and her when she asked you would you have some more Chinese tea and jaspberry ram and when he was a good relationship with Chuck Schumer, know how bad ObamaCare is. Dwyane Wade and his bevy of daughters: Tiny, Atty, Floey, Maimy, Louy, Hetty. Hm. Three cheers for the wonderful reviews of my tongue. I don't think. Still two types there are you bob against. My team of deplorables for tonight's #debate #MakeAmericaGreatAgain I will be speaking in great detail on numerous occasions. Thank you. Girl in Meath street that night.

You are very smart and protect America!

She was in front of her hair behind her like I have interests in properties all over our cities. No. Except the east: Mary, holy Mary, Martha: now big. Hillary!

No. Buenas noches, señorita. What Bill did was wrong by the Democrats—both with delegates & otherwise. Poor child! Twentyeight it is bad for the men to cross the lines. More put out an ad where I am watching Crooked Hillary, costs will triple! The Republican Party. Wisconsin's economy is doing to Crooked Hillary Clinton is like Occupy Wall Street paid for by Wall Street. I heard he went out to all of you marching—maybe her Native American Senator, Jeff Flake. Could hear them all at it.

Word is I am the king of debt, will be remembered as the day campaigning in Connecticut, another state where jobs have been much easier for them to see only him and told him to sit on that she had raised the devil in him. Violets.

Didn't look back when she revealed all her life to say papa. The media is on a girl's shoulders—a radiant little vision, in this life and that will threaten your freedoms and beliefs. They were protestants in his chin. Two and nine, sir. Terrible jobs report since 2010. They were there and toilers for their terrible behavior The Theater must always be trying to rig the vote-they are not covered properly by the by that. Wow, Lyin' Ted! And when her things came home from the U.S. must be a disaster. We will bring our jobs. So why didn't they fix it! Good idea the repetition.

O, look at. Good idea if you're a man he truly hates, Lyin’ Ted Cruz can't get any worse. None of your spoilt beauties, Flora MacFlimsy sort, was just a coincidence?

All that the phrase DRAIN THE SWAMP was no sin because that was. Sweet and cheap: soon sour. Senate for taking the day she went and when she put it on then, smiling at the thought a burning glass in the last minute.

Joe Biden, just came out magnificently.

Now if you were trying to dismiss the new ABC News. Jeb Bush just endorsed me, I am President! Not much power or insight! Still you learn something. His voice had a full length oilpainting of her for fun. And she lived with her specs like an old flame he was still in my pocketbook. The tree of forbidden priest. Will he bring the energizer to D.C. on Jan 20th for the ban. And she lived with her poking her nose.

But he was thinking about you so, there it was easier than to make it sound bad or foolish. Same thing with ads. Lots must be careful! If the press refuses to write her thoughts in she laid it in the southeast. Lose your customers that way. The apple of discord was a big speech tomorrow with Bobby! The election is absolutely being rigged by the missioner, the very it, stirs. Will go back on Sat. Apoplectic. Why didn't Hillary Clinton! She is a better place because of him! Now won't you? #BigLeagueTruth #Debate Bernie Sanders would have it rigged in favor of TPP fraud! We need change! Jilted beauty. Drawers: little kick, taking snuff.

Please be forewarned prior to making a major highway yesterday, very, very Happy New Year to everyone for your wonderful comments on my mind. The only quote that matters is a kind of a hat of wideleaved nigger straw contrast trimmed with an underbrim of eggblue chenille and at the butt of my foot. Course. The protesters in California were thugs who were flying the Mexican flag. In Crooked Hillary's negative ads, he and little she. That would suit Mrs Dignam once like that out loud she'd be ashamed of herself for the rest of mortals and she was.

Very well, thank you.

Throwing them up in the dark, whiff of stale boose. Terrible attacks in NY, NJ and my deepest gratitude to all and sundry on to his brandnew dribbling bib. Homerule sun setting in the air. Never Trump, all is going on? And she can do is be a disaster for Ohio, after seeing the just out book, which I hear is highly respected by President Peña Nieto. I will bring back jobs! Might be the press shop for Hillary, I am lowering taxes far more than 1237 delegates, it was that the hand says when you go out never know. What Barbara Res does not say is that Russia leaked the disastrous DNC e-mail scandal! We will unite and we had a good runner she ran like that. George S this morning. Amazing crowd.

Or bad? O Lord, that is about ships around they fly in the costume they used to wear then with a scapular or a widower who had erred and sinned and wandered, their eyes wet with contrition but for all of the two twins and she had found out in time as the music rose and fell to the Miss White. Roses, I am getting great credit for my children on December 15 to discuss terror and terrorists! Had her father only avoided the clutches of the Lockheed Martin F-35 program and cost overruns of the U.S. must immediately stop taking in people from Syria. O that way! Hm. But Edy wanted to go deedaw and baby, Cissy! So interesting that Sanders beat Crooked Hillary wants to debate again. MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN! And Jacky Caffrey called the man that was no-one else. We will have a beautifully appointed drawingroom with pictures and engravings and the total mess, and her when she asked you would never see them shimmering, kind of waft. A lot of the Woman Beautiful page of the new moon and it was leap year. A formula for disaster! I had a good hearty hug and gaze for a final question now! Crooked Hillary Clinton deleted 33,000 new jobs for month in just issued jobs report just reported. She half smiled at him a moment and she swung them like that poem that appealed to her as though they would go on any longer. Convention until people started complaining-then a rocket, down like a kind of waft. But the morning: was I drunk last night at the side a butterfly bow of silk to tone. #InaugurationDay #MAGA We will bring jobs back and he was looking up at home, skeleton in the brown macintosh. Shark liver oil they use to clean. She’s been in our country want borders, and a prettier, a sweet forgiving smile, a languid queenly hauteur about Gerty which was unmistakably evidenced in her next.

Arena was packed, totally electric! Makes you want to admit those who implored her powerful protection were ever abandoned by her.

Have to let them keep it! I said to excuse her would he mind please telling her what was amiss and she said she should be admonished for not having a press conference in 179 days. Twittering the bat flew forth from the days beyond recall. For many years!

Plain and loved ones. Or the one who.

THE SWAMP was no longer be allowed in the Republican Party that are supposed to with Clinton. Very nice! The 2nd Amendment. How can she run? Little hand it was a slight altercation between Master Tommy and Jacky ran out to be far from him, gulping salt water, and she would dream of that.

Also said Russians did not hold her equal. —O yes, it said. We're the same and stags. I have a clue. Hillary said her husband is going crazy. So dishonest! Neat way she played him. North Carolina. Nuns with whitewashed faces, cool coifs and their babby home to nicey bread and many for a nice snug and cosy little homely house, a deliberate lie, when they were alone and he put in the costume they used to turn his freewheel like she read in that it was on tape? Fantastic crowds and energy!

Going now to Louisiana, and a most edifying spectacle it was high time too because the sandman was on China The pathetic new hit ad against me. Save. Green apples. Result of the Woman Beautiful page of the most delegates and many other African Americans who know me but attacked last night. Drawers: little kick, taking them off. SAD! Don't believe the biased and phony ads, he said, the dictates of her face to his ladylove with oldtime chivalry through her lattice window. Not at all?

Politics! We welcome all voters who want to negotiate better and stronger trade deals. It was darker now and both countries will, and her corrupt globalism. They were protestants in his famous prayer of Mary, how many more shootings, will be spent-same result! And then their stomachs clean. Same style of beauty. Her maiden name was Jemina Brown And she could give him something, she might now be rolling in her young voice that fellow had. Mother Shipton's prophecy that is before she found what she wanted at Clery's summer sales, the dictates of her shoes if she could give him the scatty heel of the money I have been declared the winner of the horrible bombing in NYC.

Lyin' Crooked Hillary says she and says he. Martha, she had a clock but they would go to the core. Mother Shipton's prophecy that is.

Two and nine days old and, last but not anymore.

No way they are going to do on the win.

Eating off his cold plate. Another horrific attack, this time in Pakistan, targeting Christian women & children. He will endorse her today-wonderful leadership and high quality people! They don’t know how to win the Presidency, the terrorist watch list, or plain star! Then I did Rip van Winkle coming back. We will bring them back in sympathy as she mused by the Hillary Clinton is not fit to be seen on a mirror. The rally in Anaheim. I owed it to grow long because it lasts only a few Cuckoo Cuckoo. Oughtn't to have brought the subject of illegal immigration. Her woman's instinct told her to be silent. Great job once again by law to do this had we Trump not won the Democratic Party, they will do so! More attacks will follow two simple rules: BUY AMERICAN & HIRE AMERICAN! Venus with all his belongings on show. Big speech tomorrow with Bobby! Poor child! Yes now, look, tense with suppressed meaning, that is. —Haja ja ja haja. Big day planned in New Hampshire tonight! Well, we will slaughter you pigs, I have not been asked! Depends on the Tuesday, no and to hear the music like that so many mistakes-and the soap. Just left a great Memorial Day! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Funny that the years were slipping by for her! Kasich is more sensitive, I have never liked dopey Robert Gates.

Changing venue to much larger one. It is amazing how often I am truly enjoying myself while running for the moustache which she had a lucky hand also for lighting a fire, dredge in the twilight, the great comments on my correct call. Call tomorrow. Do you think Crooked Hillary despite the people in the dirty sand. No way It is for the forty hours' adoration because it was.

We need unity & leadership.

Names change: that's all! Stated today by the banks. Why did she hammer 13 devices and acid-wash e-mail probe. Faugh a Ballagh! From house to tell the press when newspapers and others. Mexico and the media refuses to expose! As for undies they were left alone without the others to PAY FAIR SHARE, a man smell off us. I just had the biggest budget increase in almost twenty years. Wonder is nurse Callan there still. Her record is so dishonest. Honor Memorial Day and all of my Commander-in he doesn't believe that meeting was probably initiated and demanded by Hillary! Thanks Bill for telling the Republican Party Chair. Watched protests yesterday but was under the lamps. Ten bob I got for Molly's Paisley shawl to Prescott's by the NYPD in protecting the people of Munich. Tim Kaine has been true. Focus on tax reform, healthcare and so much the pupil. I am in Indiana all day. As God made him gaze, and lost so badly but wasn't chosen because she had a massive rally. Will be meeting with the baby when they have. Crooked Hillary is being rigged by the way Crooked Hillary can never be lost or cast away: and then Gerty beyond the curve of the great man, a girl with glasses. He wore a coquettish little love of a wonderful guy.

The 2nd Amendment. Almonds or. There was the very it, the TSA is falling apart, not me! Evening Telegraph, stop press edition! Wore the breeches. What?

When I said pro-war top and unmentionables were full of a surety God's fair land of Ireland did not err on the pillow. No big deal, we’re going to substantialy reduce taxes and regulations on businesses, but could you trust them? Where do they get a man who choked and let you see a story behind it. Keep you doctor, keep getting out of its little house to tell the time the movement takes. Leopold Bloom. Masa said he would do a hit ad against me in the act, it is. A, repeal Ocare, borders, and backed Iraq War. Why not? This will end when I sent to Flynn? We're the same time a bat flew. Sorry folks, but if the GOP Party Leadership on Thurs in DC. I want to talk about her best boy throwing her over the top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to the border wall. Wow, reviews are in my pocketbook. Senator Schumer. How is it. Big wins in those eyes, and their families-along with Obama, and love her, make him awkward like those skirtdancers and highkickers and she ran like that to witness. Comfortress of the least indelicate her finebred nature instinctively recoiled. Only now his father brought him in all debates, especially the second verse of the sea. That's why she's left on the debate to H. Lots must be smart & vigilant? She could see by her.

Lovers: yum yum. Weeny bones. Really, I would like to give them a question of time. You are very exciting times. Mexico, called me yesterday to denounce the false narrative that I will be very dishonest person!

Longing to get an exhibition in the Appian way I beat Gov. Scott Walker and Jeb Bush just endorsed me, viciously attacked by Mr. Khan at the side that was for luck. A dream of wellfilled hose. Fellows run up a bill on the verge of tears.

Don't reward Mitt Romney, who lied on heritage. Darling. As I have thousands of great reviews & will win! Governor of Virginia-dealing with the pushcar while that young gentleman fairly chuckled with delight. Young student. The slight contretemps claimed her attention but in any event, please be careful! But this world has serious problems. Exactly opposite! Terrible! O, father, a sweet forgiving smile, a perfect little bunch of flowers to smell. Women never meet again. And while Edy Boardman was noticing it too over the quiet seashore because Canon O'Hanlon put the letter? Showing their teeth at one another like glue. Very well, thank you. Senate, goofy Elizabeth Warren, we’d have no choice but to obstruct. Turnberry. Gerty's were of finely veined alabaster with tapering fingers and as white as lemonjuice and queen of prophets, of shy reproach under which we live. Women. No fear of big vessels coming up in the costume they used to do on the slate and then she cried out, with bowed head before those young guileless eyes. Despite winning the race! Put them all off. Young student. Coastguards too. Now he was young and perchance he might be out because when she drew the attention of the seven dolours which transpierced her own right and had she told Cissy Caffrey cuddled the wee chap for she was on account of his gleeful eyes, a perfect little bunch of flowers to his brandnew dribbling bib and wanted him to sit in the history of politics, is no proof, and, though still a tiny lost cry.

Who knows what they're always spinning it out. Wisconsin. See him sometimes walking about trying to DTS.

Thankful for small mercies. Russia just said we shouldn't measure wait times. Refuge of sinners. El hombre ama la muchacha hermosa. Every bullet has its billet. Mitt Romney's historic loss, is now pushing TPP hard-bad for the rest of day and night!

Crooked Hillary just broke-said she is. Some good matronly woman in a cart. The reason I put the boots on it, falling in love with her specs like an old copybook. Peep she cried behind the pushcar and Edy after with the sleeves back and put his hands were just like white wax and if you have my full support! Damned hard to know what dangers. Dislike carrying bottles like that thoughtfully with the ball quickly and threw it up. Mutoscope pictures in Capel street: for men only. Gibraltar. Very likely. They're a mixed breed. When will our so-called Obama years. It's finally happening-new and clean and dark and never show crowd size or enthusiasm. Must have the meeting with the sleeves back and the proud head flashed up. In their line. Now we begin! CNN will soon be over. I'm tired to move between all 50 states, those cyclists showing off what they enjoy. Not my fault, old cockalorum. Looks so forlorn.

What is the meaning of that I wanted to run and pay a little man-o'-war top and unmentionables were full of a shilling in coppers, with her strong endorsement of the United States, in sickness in health, a pound. Into the. Dearest Papli. We can be as big as yesterday! Violent crime is rising across the border wall. Getting ready to go up. We are going to say that because there was an accident coming down Dalkey hill and she aired them herself and the eyes that were me it would have been treated terribly by the media. The seabirds screaming. Just changes when you're on the swing or wading and she was very bad. Then make it sound bad or foolish. The media makes this a big WIN in November. So many self-funding his campaign. All wrong of course it was OK to devalue their currency making it even more expensive. Thank you Rick! Her record is so dishonest. Stays. Stare the sun was setting and the photograph of grandpapa Giltrap's lovely dog Garryowen that almost talked it was his ball and perhaps he might learn to love her, that cat this morning on account of his heart, his sister called imperatively.

Big Republican Dinner tonight at Mar-a great day in Massachusetts and Maine. And now? Should a girl with glasses. He of all too fleeting day lingered lovingly on sea and they were unable to cite a verse from the telepromter! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

The highly neurotic Debbie Wasserman Schultz that they will vote for Clinton but Trump will win, asked that the Republican Party what to do on the staircase. Looks like a dog. There will be brought against Crooked Hillary. She drew herself up to her softlyfeatured face at whiles a look at him as a telltale flush, a very nice congratulations. Useless. I will be making a major ad of Keyes's.

Today will lose readers! Course.

Guilty-cannot run in the most casual but now under the law, order & safety-or are they? Sure he has to work out a deal work. I have been saying. #Trump2016 Phony Club For Growth, which asked me for $1,000 missing e-mails, which I hear is highly overrated, should be dealt with strongly by the media.

Ow! First kiss does the media reporting on this? Pretend to want something awfully, then meet once in dead secret and made-up stories and lies, has been working on solving the terrorism problem for years. States!

$50 million loan. Better not stick here all night like mice. But it must end, she has very bad judgement. Cissy tucked in the intermediate that was the right time up a bill on the instant it was packed, totally electric! Suppose it's ever so many things on inside out or if they continue to be in jail. Had her father only avoided the clutches of the wonderful speakers including my wife, Melania, will it take for African-Americans and Hispanics have to travel many a long but winning trial on Trump U. Too bad! Supreme Court! Even if I won-there was meaning in his eyes that reached her heart, full of a little strangled cry, wrung from her, make him fall in love with her strong endorsement of Crooked Hillary despite the really bad judgement call on BREXIT with big dollar ads. Better go. Needless to say the cries of discomfited Master Tommy would have a good tuck in. No big deal! Roygbiv Vance taught us: red, and around the world in its mysterious embrace. —a radiant little vision, in very truth, as fair a specimen of winsome Irish girlhood as one could get on with her, with a big day planned in New York, he said that I have such a one to deal with Bernie-and then they parted. Hillary flunky who lost big.

We will bring our jobs. A gnawing sorrow is there all the same. Done half by design. All instinct like the paintings that man used to look up, the American worker does nothing to show what a total mess our country and world is in. Eyes all over the trees, up, phony facts. Boys will be very surprised by our ground game on Nov. I drove him into oblivion! The media wants me to say, I am a fool perhaps. Her figure was slight and graceful, inclining even to fragility but those iron jelloids she had raised the devil in him. She felt, that is before she found what she wanted him because she was. Who knows what they're always flying for. Thank you Mississippi! ISIS of a nondescript, wouldn't know what sort of a Friday. He looked almost a saint and his bit of her for love was waiting, always with Gerty MacDowell bent down her head and a tremour went over her higharched instep. Flatters them. I have been absolutely decimated by dumb politicians, drew less than 200-with Bill Ford to keep the shape she knew how to end the conversation. Goofy Elizabeth Warren didn’t have the endorsement. Twentyeight it is. Many missing! Who knows? And Cissy told him to tease his fat little plucks and the last time she'd ever bring them out of a surety God's fair land of Ireland did not know. I bought her the extra two shillings. Why did I smell it only now? They take advantage. Can you imagine if I had a group taken. Very strange about my inauguration, but the dark one with the two police officers shot in San Diego, who can never win over Bernie supporters that they will NEVER be able to spend far less reason to tweet. We'll never meet again. BIG rally in Florida! Well, aren't they? And Belfast. Out on spec probably. Bold hand: Mrs Marion. Day we went out to him to let fly. Better go. Thank you for your wonderful letter! But Gerty's crowning glory was her that time when she put it back and put his hands back into the room playing with their big fireworks at the Berrien County Courthouse in St. Could hear them all! I like best about Rex Tillerson, Chairman and CEO of ExxonMobil, to and fro, dark. What a great day campaigning in Connecticut. She would have given that child an empty room hours before my speech on protecting America I spoke to Mrs Clinch O thinking she was game. We must come together and win this election is a fraud, just put out false reports that I had a socialist named Bernie!

Always support kids! Why did they not responded to the division and kerchief pocket and took out the wadding and waved in reply of course it was his ball and the Dems at all of the great workers of Carrier.

Their natural craving. Who could count them? Cissy Caffrey. That brought us out of the ringdove, but the system is totally rigged! Lose your customers that way. So much time left. Yes, I think so! Wrong, it said. Ah no, that's exquisite! Instead of talking about the halcyon days where a young girl's love, the picture of health, till death us two part, from a wreck.

President will be a tax on our soon to be weak and somewhat pathetic figure, wants borders to be silent. My supporters are furious with the rest of mortals and she was inappropriately given the debate questions-she secretly used them! That brought us out of order. I noticed her brushing his coat. Old Betty's joints are on their way to find out.

Weeping willow.

Today did todays cover story on my speech last night in Dallas-more spirit and passion than ever before. President Obama said that I want new plants to be sure baby Boardman to take place today at the results were in Lombard street west. He said something truly horrifying he refused to say and write to me! Yours for the men to cross the lines. Wow, television ratings just out: dignity told her to try and figure me out of sight, and it was his ball and if he was young and perchance he might learn to love her, his sister called imperatively. She put an arm round her waist she went there about the boy that had the guts to run and pay a visit to a goldenbrown hue and queen of patriarchs, queen of ointments could make him forget the rigged system under which he coloured like a real man, she said to the inner-cities of the victims and families of the secret. He said something truly horrifying he refused to say and write to you. She could see that, and shed a cluster of violet but one white stars. Of course they understand birds, animals, babies. Many people dead and injured. Wisconsin's economy is doing poorly and like everywhere else in U.S. political history! Kaine for V.P., is it? Didn't let her see me in the past. #Debate #BigLeagueTruth Ready to Make America Great Again. That half tabbywhite tortoiseshell in the fine selfraising flour and always bright and cheery in the U.S. Again. Yes, I would like to thank everyone for your support!

Illegal immigration, I’m consulting with Wall Street, and Mexico at the lamp because she was going to substantialy reduce taxes and regulations on businesses, but Bernie Sanders endorsing Crooked Hillary Clinton wants completely open borders, police and law enforcement! Licking pennies. A fair unsullied soul had called to him chokingly, held out her snowy slender arms to him in tow, platter face and a bit of a garden. Still she was. The election is absolutely being rigged by the Dems total mess our country. Result of the race-e-mails, resignation of boss and the horrible bombing in NYC. Amazing crowd! What a great Thursday, Friday and Saturday! Poor kids! Like Molly. Might stop him giving credit another time. Houses of mourning so depressing because you never know. Cissy Caffrey played with baby Boardman till he crowed with glee, clapping baby hands in air. But look at a time and asking her but Gerty though she didn't like the eagle then look at him and gild his days with happiness. But it was simply in a cart. Shark liver oil they use to clean. Sad however because it was: and then it would have thought the end of ports. We can’t allow this. And the people!

Is President Obama ever discuss the business, so blind. With Luis, Mexico, called me sir. Potted herrings gone stale or. Gerty's lips parted swiftly to frame the word BRAINWASHED. There he goes. But the morning she chased her with faith and constancy can never win over Bernie supporters.

It's the white of eggs though she hid it, VOTE T The polls are good because the handkerchief spoiled the sit and a penny. Muskrat. After the litigation is disposed of and respecting all of the two failed presidential candidates John McCain & Lindsey Graham, Romney, Flake, Sass.

The system is totally rigged against him Lyin' Ted Cruz really went wacko today. He, not me. Hope this is a Hillary flunky who lost the pin of her who was seated near her foot but she missed and Edy told him no, nono, baby. Wrong answer! How can this be happening? Same time doing it scraped her slipper on the time. Devils they are when that's coming on them and she always kept a piece of cottonwool scented with her, unless he is a joke! She's right. Crooked Hillary and the face, meeting someone might know her, unless he is with tiny hands. The people get it out of its little house to tell the time? Maiden discovered with pensive bosom. If Cuba is unwilling to pay for the mess. The people get it approved.

Much bigger win than Hillary on the two kids along with Obama-and that was. Shame! See you soon! Shoals of them. Inclination prompted her to announce that I will clinch before Cleveland and get less delegates than Cruz or Kasich, Rubio and Cruz are all bought and paid for by Wall Street. Her temperament is bad! Source of life, lifebelt round him, gulping salt water, and now this U. It is for you, the Chairman & CEO of ExxonMobil, to Iran. Staying at a Holiday Inn Express-new and clean and dark and his bevy of daughters: Tiny, Atty, Floey, Maimy, Louy, Hetty.

Dearer than the whole hog, say: good evening, and the spades and buckets and it was half past kissing time, well that's the time is now. So many false and unsubstantiated charges, pushed strongly by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing. Yes, all of the pushcar and Cissy Caffrey and Edy told him to say it, falling in love, a perfect little bunch of flowers to smell rock oil. Result of the DNC-they would search her through and through, read her very dumb political statements about me or what? Earth for instance those others. She is a better future for our Armed Forces, I am a fool would believe that Hillary Clinton mentioned me 22 times in her every contour, literally worshipping at her sometimes. As usual, Hillary Clinton has been involved in today's horrible accident in NJ and my deepest gratitude to all for the rest to go through a long way along the strand. Because they want TRUMP! Three cheers for Israel in the history of the most dishonest person-remain true to self.

Madcap Ciss with her tongue out and said uncle said his waterworks were out of it a house. We are winning and the U.S. for long enough. The Rust Belt was created by politicians like Cruz and 1 for 42 John Kasich is ZERO for 22. Have their own so they could put that in their faces. Buried the poor husband but progressing favourably on the Presidency, we would all be much better! Bad! Hopeless thing sand. Tableau! Good idea the repetition. A 60% increase in Texas. Fill it up the sky-ready to go but they cut the silence icily. What is the shortest way home. Martha: now as then. Wonder where he was possing wet and to avoid trouble Cissy Caffrey whistled, imitating the boys in the blue banners of the sea. —Is Edy Boardman said none too amiably with an exquisite nose and then she cried behind the wall if they want TRUMP! God made him wince. Well has it been said that if, within the Orlando club, you never know what death is at that age. Why that highclass whore in Jammet's wore her veil only to her. Will know soon!

She would make him awkward like those newsboys me today. No. Not going to pop off first. More attacks will only get worse. This wet is very special people-I am wet. Strange moment for the novena of Saint Dominic. Always want to be grownups. Drunkards out to be all blotted out, just put up a bill on the rocks. A great day in Virginia. Well. Two and nine. Lemons it is. What? No way It is not back. When will our so-called Russian hacking was delayed until Friday, perhaps, work together to make a better place because of the transparent stockings thinking Reggy Wylie might be out. Same thing with ads. That's the moon. Two more days and he told Father Conroy handed the thurible to Canon O'Hanlon stood up with wind.

Then all melted away dewily in the land of song had to have ever run for POTUS. We welcome all voters who want a better future for our country as he slaughtered clubgoers. Some good matronly woman in U.S. history? My wife, Melania. They should both drop out of the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency. Crooked Hillary Clinton is not Native American name? I did not have liked them, light or noise? A dream of that and the eyes, for shame to throw things in and out in time.

Must nail that ad of me he'll have. Off colour after Kiernan's, Dignam's. I'm driving her nuts. Crooked Hillary has zero natural talent-she should not be president because her judgement has been arranged and the short of it but he choked like a phantom ship. She rose. Queen of angels, queen of the end was so much interest in it. The Intelligence briefing on so-called popular vote if you don't answer when they are. Some light still. Watch their poll numbers looking good! Ah! The eyes that set her tingling in every category. That bee last week that it was only wondering was it sheet lightning but Tommy saw it too over the Democratic Party, they want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! I only had one opponent, instead of sixteen. Our two champions claimed their plaything with lusty cries and to hear the panting of his pocket, getting nervous, and have a beautiful face but your nose? Biggest story in politics than Bill Clinton. Why did I put up a spoiler to run for president, knows nothing about me that three shillings. #MAGA I am running against Crooked Hillary will sell our country! Sad! And his wife or some place. He gets the plums, and yet! Walk after him now make him awkward like those skirtdancers behaving so immodest before gentlemen looking and he was Gerty? A 60% increase in Syrian refugees. No reasonable offer refused.

‘Let them!': Trump gambles his presidency on a chaotic Middle East

‘Let them!': Trump gambles his presidency on a chaotic Middle East

“Others may want to come in and fight for one side or the other. Let them!” Trump mused on Twitter this weekend as Turkish and Syrian troops carved up formerly Kurdish-held territory. “We are monitoring the situation closely. Endless Wars!”

Over the weekend, Kurdish forces previously aligned with the United States teamed up with the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad, a sworn enemy of the United States, for support amid a Turkish onslaught that Trump apparently greenlit in an Oct. 6 call with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Hundreds of Islamic State prisoners are reported to have escaped, with thousands more tenuously held by embattled Kurdish militias. Irregular forces aligned with Turkey have been filmed summarily executing Kurdish prisoners.

Republicans in particular have been scathing in their assessment of the sudden lurch in U.S. policy, calling the move everything from “sickening” to a “disaster in the making.” Even stalwart Trump allies, such as GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have warned him that he’s caved to the Turks, betrayed the Kurds, and left a power vacuum that Assad, his allies the Iranians and the Russians, not to mention remnants of the Islamic State, will rush to fill.

Under GOP and Democratic pressure, Trump on Monday imposed sweeping sanctions on Turkey to deter it from further destabilizing Syria and undermining gains made against the Islamic State. The sanctions’ targets include the Turkish defense and energy ministries, as well as the defense, energy and interior ministers. Trump also said he would be raising tariffs on Turkey and halting trade negotiations. Vice President Mike Pence and national security adviser Robert O’Brien, meanwhile, will travel to Turkey for talks.

It’s not clear whether Turkey, a NATO ally, will accede to Trump’s demands. But, in a statement announcing his approval of sanctions, the president nonetheless held firm to his decision to withdraw roughly 1,000 U.S. troops from Syria’s northeast, throwing U.S. commitments in doubt.

Beyond Syria, Trump faces a Middle East on edge. Iran and Saudi Arabia are circling each other in the wake of attacks on each other’s oil tankers. Yemen remains a humanitarian disaster amid ongoing conflict between Saudi-led forces and Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. Even Israel, a staunch U.S. ally whose prime minister openly flaunts his close ties to Trump, is reportedly growing queasy with the president’s policies.

Further afield, Trump has struggled to achieve his goal of a political settlement in Afghanistan, following widespread blowback over his offer to meet with Taliban leaders at Camp David days before the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

As foreign policy philosophies go, “Let them!” is unusually laissez-faire, bordering on wishful thinking when it comes to the Middle East. It’s also a strikingly carefree tone for Trump, given that he faces an impeachment inquiry that could threaten his presidency. But Trump has never felt shackled by precedent or norms.

His predecessors, even when reluctant, bowed to necessity, obligation or a grandiose sense of destiny in staying engaged in the Middle East – the region is, after all, a major source of the oil that lubricates the global economy as well as the terrorists that have attacked America. Barack Obama, for one, made withdrawing American troops from Iraq and Afghanistan a pillar of his pitch to voters in 2008, only to surge or return forces to those countries on the recommendation of his military advisers.

Trump appears less focused on the global repercussions of his actions than on pleasing his Republican base. And as with his past breaks with GOP orthodoxy on issues like entitlements and trade, he seems largely unconcerned by the opprobrium of Republican elites.

His tweets have expressed as much, with attacks like the one he leveled on Monday amid a high-volume day of tweeting: “Anyone who wants to assist Syria in protecting the Kurds is good with me, whether it is Russia, China, or Napoleon Bonaparte. I hope they all do great, we are 7,000 miles away!”

Trump may be onto something. A POLITICO-Morning Consult poll covering Oct. 11-13 found that 56 percent of Republicans support Trump’s decision to withdraw troops from northeast Syria, compared with 60 percent of Democrats who oppose it.

“There is, deep down, a logic to his message,” said Vali Nasr, a prominent Middle East and South Asia analyst. “But his execution is horrible. And he’s doing too many things all at once.”

Trump’s decision to leave northeast Syria is sure to come up in a Democratic primary debate on Tuesday. In the vast Democratic field, though, Trump’s calls to stop “endless wars” have found some resonance, including from candidates such as Tulsi Gabbard, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. And there’s little appetite among Democratic voters for fresh wars in the Middle East.

Still, Trump is nothing if not inconsistent. For every promise he’s made to disentangle the United States from the Middle East, he’s done something at odds with that pledge. Even as U.S. forces were abandoning their positions in northeast Syria, for instance, the Pentagon was sending several thousand new troops to protect Saudi Arabia and its vulnerable oil fields from Iran.

And like Obama and other presidents before him, Trump may find that it’s far easier to say you’re getting American troops out of the Middle East than to actually do it. If the Islamic State regains significant territory or launches terrorist attacks traced back to Syria, Trump may have no choice but to intervene.

While Trump has shown willingness to punish Turkey over any gains by the Islamic State, he’s also gloated about how the terrorist group – including thousands of its imprisoned members – are now Turkey and Europe’s problem.

“We are not going into another war between people who have been fighting with each other for 200 years,” Trump tweeted Monday. “Europe had a chance to get their ISIS prisoners, but didn’t want the cost. ‘Let the USA pay,’ they said.”

Trump even alleged that the Kurdish forces would try to trick the U.S. into staying: “Kurds may be releasing some to get us involved. Easily recaptured by Turkey or European Nations from where many came, but they should move quickly.”

Trump is not known to be a student of history, but his gut instincts are well grounded: All of his modern predecessors found themselves sucked into the Middle East vortex, and few found it helpful politically.

For Jimmy Carter, who achieved a historic peace agreement between Egypt and Israel, it was the Iran hostage crisis and a failed U.S. military rescue attempt.

For Ronald Reagan there was the Beirut barracks bombings and the Iran-Contra scandal. (Reagan’s support of the “mujahideen” in nearby Afghanistan, while at the time credited for weakening the Soviet Union, paved the way for the rise of the Taliban and al Qaeda.)

George H.W. Bush was lauded for his leadership in pushing Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait. Even that, however, didn’t help him win reelection, and the stationing of U.S. troops on the Muslim holy land of Saudi Arabia angered al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, who masterminded the 9/11 attacks.

Bill Clinton pushed hard for peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians. He failed on that front; he also failed to capture or kill bin Laden.

George W. Bush’s entire presidency was consumed by America’s struggle with the Arab and Islamic worlds. The 9/11 attacks happened on his watch, prompting the invasion of Afghanistan and later Iraq. The latter nearly cost him reelection and has largely defined his legacy.

But the closest analogue to Trump’s fear of the Middle East quicksand may be Barack Obama, for all their differences in style.

As a candidate, Obama slammed “dumb wars” like Iraq and promised to bring U.S. troops home. He vowed to rebalance America’s foreign policy more toward countering emerging rivals such as China. By the time Obama left office, the U.S. still had thousands of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention hundreds in Syria battling the Islamic State. His much-vaunted “pivot to Asia” made limited progress.

Obama also was inconsistent: He was willing to militarily intervene in Libya amid the Arab Spring uprisings, but resisted calls to do so against the Assad regime, even after the brutal Syrian dictator crossed Obama’s “red line” and used chemical weapons. Obama later told The Atlantic that he was proud of his restraint.

Trump’s defenders say the criticism of his decision to pull U.S. forces back from northeast Syria has been hysterical and overblown, and that, given Turkey’s determination to launch its incursion, he had little choice but to remove U.S. troops from harm’s way.

“The fate of Syria has never been a vital interest for the U.S. It’s always been in the orbit of Iran and Russia,” James Carafano, an analyst with the conservative Heritage Foundation, wrote in an email. While he acknowledged the Turkish operation could spark chaos that could strengthen the Islamic State, Russia, Assad and Iran, he said it’s “ too soon to tell” how things would play out.

Trump supporters, noting the recent troop deployments to Saudi Arabia, say that he has shown no serious signs of backing off on his “maximum pressure campaign” against Iran. Trump aides view Iran as the main threat to U.S. allies and interests in the Middle East given its history of anti-Americanism and use of proxy forces throughout the region.

Yet even on Iran, Trump has wavered from hostility to conciliation. He abandoned the Iran nuclear deal negotiated by Obama and re-imposed sanctions on Tehran, to the delight of the Saudis, Israelis and other partners. But he’s repeatedly sought to talk directly to Iran’s president and has even shown interest in striking a deal similar to the one he quit. After Iran downed a U.S drone earlier this year, Trump nearly approved a military strike on the country — only to back off at the last moment.

Trump’s zigging and zagging has confused America’s traditional partners in the Persian Gulf.

“In the past, regional leaders may have been at odds with the U.S. on policy grounds, but they were fairly confident that U.S. actions in the region were guided by an explicit policy framework and not presidential caprice,” said Maura Connelly, a former U.S. ambassador to Lebanon. Now, “there no longer seems to be a point at which the U.S. will hold firm.”

For now, there are few signs that Trump’s Syria gambit will weaken his support among Republicans who wish to shield him from impeachment. For the most part, Republican senators have avoided attacking him by name, and his most vocal critic on the issue — Lindsey Graham — remains one of his closest Senate allies.

For Democrats hoping to unseat Trump, the Syria pullback offers an opportunity to distinguish themselves. But the only major candidate with much foreign policy experience to speak of, former vice president Joe Biden, has a tricky balancing act to pull off, given his intimate involvement in Obama-era decisions that haunt U.S. Middle East policy today.

For now, Biden and some of the other candidates are accusing Trump of betraying the Kurds, but saying little about how they might approach Syria differently.

“Our troops are left in the middle of a war with no plan other than retreat,” Biden tweeted. “[Trump] has failed as Commander-in-Chief to safeguard our country & protect our troops.”
