"10/19: President Trump Legacy May Be as One of the Worst U.S. Presidents"

Those of us not sporting grass stained knees after the national anthem is played ... just a hunch.

 

Because they are none of your business. Why do you want to see them?

 

Trumps medicated pads.

 

Just grass stained knees when Trump is around.

 

That may be leftist code for White. For some odd reason pretty much every leftist posting generates the strong impression of being racist against Whites. Ironically, being a loud and proud racist is grounds for dismissal from Dem Party membership.

 

The truth hurts doesn't it?

 

Your posts are garbage and very unintelligent.

 

WHATCHU MEAN, "YOU PEOPLE???!!!!!"

 

Like your avatar ... you can't see the grass stains on Rogers ass.

 

So I can ridicule the sappy left when the fact is exposed that another of their Big Geniuses is anything but. That's all...if Obama ever does ( he won't...too big of a phony)....

 

It is Rodgers. There is a D in there.

 

Considering the posting history of this particular source that reply is a laugh riot:

 

He will release them as soon as Trump releases his taxes.

 

On the other hand, the American people need to know how many scoops of ice cream Trump partook of today.

Yeah. Treated equally.

 

I haven't seen any "D" from GB ... which explains RoDgers grass stained ass.

 

Wow, they like Trump that much to get on their knees just for him?

 

Reagan was re-elected in 1984. Iran contra didn't become known till 1986. Your post is incoherent.

 

All your posts blame Liberals for everything. Sign of a weak and feeble mind.

 

It is that posters MO. All their posts are like that.

 

We've already seen more of Pres.Trump's taxes than Obama's grades. Remember; he pays a HIGHER TAX RATE THAN THE OBAMAS, BERNIE, or the CLINTONS.

 

Helllllllllllllllo?! POLITICAL forums system. Gasp! You thought that this was the Food Network, didn't you? No wonder all your postings seem so confused!

 

And Bush sr. was subsequently elected in a landslide AFTER Iran Contra, was he not?

And bullshit: It was WELL ON, before the 1984 elections...
U.S. Actions in Nicaragua, August 1981 to December 1982

In August 1981, a CIA official met with Honduran military officials, Argentine advisers, and the FDN leadership and expressed his support for the contra operations. On November 1, the Director of the CIA William Casey met with the Chief of Staff of the Argentine military; the two purportedly agreed that Argentina would oversee the contras and the United States would provide money and weapons. In late 1981, President Reagan authorized the U.S. to support the contras by giving them “money, arms, and equipment” through Argentina, with the potential for “the occasional direct involvement of the United States in supporting individual operations.” As a result, according to Kornbluh, “the frequency and destructiveness of the contra attack increased rapidly.” So, too, did their numbers. Toward the end of 1982, the contras (who operated out of Honduras) were conducting attacks deep inside Nicaragua.

The First Boland Amendment

As contra attacks continued throughout 1982, the U.S. press began to report on U.S. support for the rebels. Liberal members of Congress condemned the policy, arguing that it was immoral and perhaps illegal. Eventually, Congressman Edward Boland (D-MA), Chairman of the House intelligence committee, offered an amendment “prohibiting the use of funds ‘for the purpose of’ overthrowing the government of Nicaragua or provoking a war between Nicaragua and Honduras” which became law on December 21, 1982. The use of funds for this purpose had actually been secretly prohibited per an agreement between Congress and the White House; thus, the amendment had no practical effect on the conduct of U.S. policy. Kagan identifies a “loophole” in the law; namely, that as long as the United States itself did not intend to overthrow the Nicaraguan government, the United States could support the contras, who did have that intent. Indeed, according to a PBS Frontline documentary, the amendment did not affect the conduct of the war in Nicaragua.

U.S. Policy between Boland I and Boland II

After Boland I, contra attacks in Nicaragua continued to grow. Despite summary executions of Sandinista soldiers and other brutal measures, the contras often found support among the people in the countryside. The number of contra soldiers continued to grow as well. To counter this threat, the Sandinistas received operational support from a Cuban military general and weapons from the Soviet Union. The CIA began airlifting supplies to the contras, and the contras conducted “spectacular” guerilla assaults on their targets. During the second half of 1983, with the help of the CIA, the contras conducted air strikes on Sandino airport near Managua and other targets. The CIA itself used its own assets to carry out some covert actions in Nicaragua, including destroying several fuel tanks. The CIA also placed mines in Nicaraguan harbors on January 7, 1984 and February 29, 1984, damaging several ships. The contras initially took credit for the mining, but the Wall Street Journal reported it to be the work of the CIA a few months later. Moreover, it was discovered that Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North, a U.S. Marine who worked on the National Security Council staff at the Reagan White House, had known of and recommended the operation.

The Second Boland Amendment

As the war in Nicaragua grew, many Congresspersons were concerned that the Administration’s policies violated the Boland Amendment, prompting political wrangling involving the White House and Congress over contra funding. The revelation that the CIA was responsible for mining Nicaragua’s harbors infuriated Congresspersons of both political parties, including Senator Barry Goldwater (R-AZ), chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, who felt that the CIA had failed to inform the committee of the operation in advance as required by law. (In fact, DCI Casey may have informed the committee, albeit in an arguably veiled way.) As a result, the second Boland Amendment was passed on October 12, 1984. It read:
No appropriations or funds made available pursuant to this [authorization bill] to the Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of Defense, or any other agency or entity of the United States involved in intelligence activities may be obligated or expended for the purpose or which would have the effect of supporting, directly or indirectly, military or paramilitary operations in Nicaragua by any nation, group, organization, movement, or individual.
For all intents and purposes, this amendment appeared to prohibit the funding of the contras with U.S. government funds.

Try again, "history major".

 

Hey look!! They're starting a circle jerk to try to fend off the pummeling...way to jump up and trumpet your support for ignorance of the topic, in this case, Iran-Contra...

 

What would the Defense have to with Rodgers getting sacked? Doesn't make much sense, but nice try.

 

As if you could pummel anything.
