Considering all of Obama’s presidency the United States was in a state of war I’m kind of left wondering what the h3ll this guy’s done in 8 years to help “the front”?
Anyone got anything?

Obama coasted through his presidency.
He played golf and took vacations.
He faced no major crises and had below-average responses to minor ones.
His few initiatives, both foreign and domestic, had mediocre to poor final results with long-term negative consequences for America.
He oversaw a fake economy which considers part-time low-paying temporary service jobs to be low unemployment. The media is protecting him by claiming he is handing off a great economy to Trump.
In issues where he could and should have excelled, such as racial harmony, he failed miserably… so miserably that it must have been intentional. He leaves behind a needlessly divided nation where thugs are chamioned as innocent heroes and cops are open targets.
He consistently demonstrated distain for America, patriotism, nationalism, and other American cultural attributes which have been responsible for the success of the nation.
He punished hard work and self-sufficiency with ridicule and burdonsome regulations… and rewarded dependence… or, more accurately, he promised to reward dependence and then left the dependent hanging.
Worse, he hastened the decline of the middle class, protected the corrupt financial elite, and assisted the 1%… all while talking about compassionate liberal values and helping average Americans.
He spent more effort on the Hollywood class than the working class.
He was secretive. He punished well-meaning whistle blowers who exposed illegal actions when official channels ignored them. He assisted some who put self-interests over American interests even when their duty was to work for America. He assisted a few borderline traitors who intentionally hurt America… sometimes by further hurting America.
He surrounded himself with some truly evil people who ran their affairs based on unjust ideology rather than ethical pragmatism.
He will go down in history as a below average president who only missed being known as a poor president because there was no big event which allowed him to demonstrate his true incompetence.
And his last acts in office will likely be petty and small-minded… and will be intended to sabotage America and the Trump presidency out of spite.

Trump backtracks and now supports NAFTA. Could signing TPP be next?
Don’t forget how he ignored the Constitution, or as a Constitutional Scholar he just doesn’t understand.

Denny: “Trump backtracks and now supports NAFTA.”
Article: “I don’t think we’re looking to rip up NAFTA as much as we are looking to right-size it and make it fairer,”
Trump (Sep 2016): “Trump said Thursday he would “entirely renegotiate NAFTA” or he would “terminate it.””
Where exactly is the “backtracking”?
Trump has always been very clear. Keep NAFTA if it can be renegotiated to be fair to America. If Mexico and Canada don’t want to do this, terminate it. This is basic negotiation procedure.
Canada and Mexico need NAFTA more than America… so Trump is in a good position to renegotiate to America’s advantage.
The skewed media interpretation of everything Trump does is a wonder to behold.
The mindless low-information ankle-biting of petty saboteurs picking apart their own best interests, such as Denny, is a reminder that around 50% of Americans deserve the failure they crave.

Denny makes me wonder if RokDrop somehow landed on CTR’s radar.
Surely we are too small an outlet to warrant paid liberal shiitposting.
Dude that’s a great list of things other than things he did to help but seriously, how can you be the leader of a nation fully involved in a war and have almost no interaction at all? What’s even more troubling is that even Fox is still showing +50% favor ratings for the guy. How is America supposed to address real concerns posed by GFY countries like Iran and North Korea when the population doesn’t seem to even have an idea of what’s going on?
The media is funny.
Now they’re complaining about Trump canceling the ridiculous 4 billion dollar Boeing deal for Airforce one. “That costs American jobs!”
Out of the other side of their mouths complaining about the deal that kept a thousand jobs here, “That’s crony capitalism!”
Who believes polls when the media is corrupt? The same polls had HRC winning, remember.

Chinese Tourists, Businesspeople Load up on Pot During Trips to North Korea
Chinese who visit North Korea on sightseeing or business trips are purchasing marijuana in large quantities in the Rason Special Economic Zone, sources inside North Korea said.
Since marijuana cultivation is legal in North Korea, selling yeoksam, as it is called in North Korea, has become an easy way to earn money, they said.
“People in Rason buy the large quantities of buds of yeoksam from residents and pay 30 yuan (U.S. $4.30) per kilogram (2.2 lbs.), and then sell them for 500 yuan (U.S. $72) per kilogram to Chinese people,” a source from North Hamgyong province told RFA’s Korean Service.
If he wasn’t processed in as a detainee, that would lead me to believe there wasn’t enough evidence to hold him. In which case, I would imagine he would be treated as a civilian and leading him off base, killing, and burying him in a shallow grave would not be permitted regardless of the dangers of letting him walk away.
It has to be frustrating seeing the same guys get taken in and let go only to murder your own and locals who are helping you, but this seems like a line that we are not supposed to cross.
Then again, we tend not to have all the facts in these cases.
The victim was accused of being a bomb maker. If he was caught with bomb making equipment it would be cut a dried and he wouldn’t have been released.
Sorting out suspects and allegations over there has always been a problem. Since early in the wars, non-combatants were being accused and turned in to retaliate in rival clan disputes or just to collect on bounty rewards the military was offering. Only hearsay, no evidence. Many detainees, even some who were kept at GITMO for many years and eventually released, fell into that category.
The victim in this case may have deserved to die, but we may never know.
The 3D model is partially the product of a researcher at a company called Strategic Sentinel:
Strategic Sentinel provides key strategic information and analysis to globally oriented companies, government entities, think tanks, and various other organizations. Strategic Sentinel utilizes open-source information and intelligence, along with its analytical abilities and experience in order to provide the consumer with an informed, geopolitical analysis of the world theatre.
Seeing as how our upcoming administration is publicly critical of the quality of intelligence given by our government’s professional agencies, maybe that will create more opportunities for smaller intelligence companies with fewer resources to provide alternative sources.
I don’t have a comment … just wanted to beat Targum City Tim. 😉

She’s back. North Korea’s #1 pron star, and world champion button finder Ri Sol-ju has finally emerged from whatever home confinement she had been subjected to.

So, was she pregnant? Did she burn Fatty’s dinner once too often? Enquiring Minds Want to Know!
@MTB Rider, it sounds like we need to send in Dennis Rodman again to find out if Ri Sol-ju had another baby.
