Green Berets, Afghan Special Forces Capture ISIS 'Capital'

Quote

U.S. and Afghan special operations troops -- in one of their largest joint operations -- captured a stronghold that Islamic State fighters claimed as their local capital, military officials said Saturday.

No Americans or Afghan troops were killed in the offensive, which the U.S. military said killed 167 fighters from the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS or Daesh, and involved a complex multi-pronged attack on Gurgoray, a town purported to be the group's capital in Deh Bala district in Nangarhar province.

 

"This area, two months ago, was controlled by Daesh," Brig. Gen. John W. Brennan Jr., commander of NATO forces in eastern Afghanistan, said at a special operations outpost in Deh Bala. "We pushed them into the mountains, so they cannot harm the people here."

The U.S. and Afghan offensive involved five special forces teams and three Afghan commando companies. In total, 600 members of the U.S. Army special forces, also known as Green Berets, participated in the mission, which began in April and continued into June, a U.S. military officer said.

I assume the first draft just said "white."

This is worse than the "good people on both sides" line after Charlottesville. This is a direct appeal to the lunatic militias and sovereign citizen types.

I think they mean 60 Special Forces.   Those teams are 12 men apiece, not 120.  Getting 600 Green Berets together outside of some place like Fort Bragg would be very surprising.

Bully pulpit de twitterverse

Quote

A bully pulpit is a conspicuous position that provides an opportunity to speak out and be listened to. This term was coined by United States President Theodore Roosevelt, who referred to his office as a "bully pulpit", by which he meant a terrific platform from which to advocate an agenda.

This is why the Republicans will not allow these hearing to be public, despite the request of Strzok and Page and Democrats. So the president can lie and control the content with his base. Rotten to their cores.

Trump wants people to know armed insurrection is okay if it’s likely you voted for him.

Wait til he gets Putin and Netanyahu's pardon lists.  You'll be wishing he was only pardoning these domestic shitstains.

Like those morons in Poplar Bluff, a guy I don't understand is Mattress Mac in Houston. He's a huge Trumpster, and presumably as such favors the deportation of illegals, who probably constitute about half of his customer base, at least at his flagship store on the North Freeway. He's even doing commercials in terrible Spanish on Telemundo. Careful what you wish for, Mac.

I'm expecting a posthumous pardon for Timothy McVeigh any day now.

The MSM isn’t covering the pardon of these  maniacs today. 

Perhaps they got wise and aren’t jumping at the obvious Trump bait.

Mattress Mac doesnt want to pay taxes. At all. I doubt he gives a shit about immigration.

They fucking should be. There's no way once the story of the Hammonds is told that this pardon plays well with anyone but the die hard racists in the GOP base. This is a big "THE PRESIDENT IS DIRECTLY APPEALING TO VIOLENT INSANE WHITE SUPREMACISTS!" in flashing neon story. There's no other explanation.

He might not have much to pay taxes on if Trump carries out all his threats. 

[scottsins 1,968]

I chuckled at the entire claim that the mandatory minimum was unjust. Also, there isn’t even a hint that the actual offenses resulting in a conviction had questionable guilt. The “conflicting evidence” line relates to the charges of which they were acquitted.

I don't even think the main motivator behind this pardon is about race. It's about empowering militias and fringe armed groups. This emboldens them knowing that the President will pardon them. Now Trump is building his army that will strike if/when pushed from office by the "deep state". This also plays into Russia's strategy of sowing chaos in our society.
