Dem senator rips Trump's 'let them fight' remarks: 'Enough is enough'

[The Hill] Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz (Hawaii) called out Republican lawmakers on Thursday night following President Trump's remarks likening Turkey's military offensive against Syrian Kurds to a schoolyard fight.

"Enough is enough. Republican silence is a historic travesty," Schatz tweeted in response to Trump's remarks during a campaign rally in Dallas.

#2 Schatz, Schiff, The Squat: all appropriately named tentmasters for our national Shitshow.

You cretins have thoroughly botched our foreign policy.

You failed to secure our border, provide any meaningful economic security to over half the population, and then you told us that the majority of Americans are racist shits.

You have actively helped rogue intel and justice officials at all levels to try to pull off a coup against a sitting president.

You promoted and continue to promote an utterly ludicrous conspiracy hoax that makes Joe McCarthy look like a piker.

You have repeatedly slandered and suborned the slander of one of our finest judges, our policemen, and even schoolchildren visiting D.C.

You've done and said nothing as this economy's finance and tech sectors were taken over by a handful of robber barons who signal their virtue even as they preside over the degradation of our politics and our culture. You did nothing to turn around this country's shitty educational system-- in fact you and your idiot oligarch made it even worse, with his/your foolish "Common Core" non-reform.

You unleashed over 20 million illegal aliens, semiliterate peasants whom no one but sweatshop owners have any need for, upon our communities, our schools and hospitals, crushing wages, ruining school performance, causing ERs and hospitals to close, filling the prisons.

And you have the nerve to attack those of us who call you out on your record of unbelievable incompetence and stupidity.

Enough is enough.

End the Shitshow. Bring the curtain down.

#5 I guess seeing a Senator named Schatz triggered me, as 'twere. I mean, we talk about the Shitshow but rarely do we see one of its perps actually named after it. Talk about brazen...

#6 Syrian Kurds are already talking to Syrian government and Turks are already talking about a cease fire to allow the Kurds to get out of the way.

What folks don't understand is sometimes when a big player is involved the smaller players know they don't have to make concessions because they'll be bailed out before a total loss. This is the fallacy of the UN that has allowed conflict in Kashmir and Palestine areas since it was formed because the players know they won't be totally crushed before the UN stops the battle and thus they don't have to be reasonable.

By having the US step aside the Syrian Kurds have been forced to recalculate between peace/survival and continued conflict.

#7 ^ Very astute.
If this turns out to be the case, Trump will have shown himself the better strategist than our Global Grifter pseudo-intellectuals.

#8 I've said it before: If Schatz and others like him feel so strongly about fighting other peoples' wars, let them go and do the fighting. Let them put their own asses on the line instead of sending our brave young men to do it for them. But do not ask me to pay for it.

#10 He's a member of the body that has the sole power to declare war.

Why doesn't he introduce a motion for an official declaration of war on an enemy of his choosing in the Senate?
