At one point during his extraordinary joint press conference with President Donald Trump, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan turned his attention to the U.S. Senate.
“It was certainly not a good time, at least, for Mr. Erdogan to be at the White House,” said Sen. Mitt Romney , a frequent Trump critic. Romney advocated “a series of actions sanctioning Turkey for going against the interests of our country and our ally, the Kurds.” McConnell has already gone against Trump once when it comes to sanctions. He helped pass a Russian sanctions bill in 2017 with a whopping 98-2 vote in the Senate, numbers so large the White House was forced to swallow it.
But given the appetite in the Senate to push back against Turkey’s attack on U.S. allies, it may be difficult to bottle up sanctions, particularly since the House overwhelmingly passed a bill targeting Turkey’s economy. Senators hit pause as the Trump administration raced to negotiate a temporary peace deal after the U.S. withdrawal, but they are itching to condemn Turkey's president.
“Erdogan’s probably going to move against Kobani, which is a traditional majority-Kurdish city,” predicted Sen. Marco Rubio . “The last US troops in that area finally left, it took them two weeks to break down and move. And I think he’s going to view that as a chance to come in and grab that city. ... That’s going to probably scramble all of this stuff again.”
They’re frustrated but they lack the courage to act.
The size of that turkey neck!
Next...Donny does Dallas.
Spineless wimps !
'at the moment' says it all.
Erdogan is mistaken by Trump's hospitality, one day Trump will put Erdogan under the bus to please Christian Evangelists and Israel.
Misleading..distraction from the deep state! 👆
Birds of the same feather flock together.
You were against tariffs on Russia and turkey now you get upset ?
Oh no..a rebellion? against Trump? wishful thinking?
Today erdogon released isis prisoners to Europe , that is what these two dictators talked over ! And there solution ! Putin must be proud papa !
Really tired of hearing GOP Senators are frustrated. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t support Trump in public and then cry in private because of what he’s doing. Show some guts and stand up for this country!
This is what happens when a leader like Erdogan has dirty goods on your President that would put his Son in law in jail for life *grin*.
That’s because trump is a coward when it comes to strongmen. He will bully anyone else, but is to stupid to realize when a strongmen like Erdogan is insulting him
Pelosi Diverts $2.4 Billion From Social Security To Cover Impeachment Costs
That’s what GOP gets for enabling this president. Now they are just puppets in Trumps game and have totally destroyed their own party.
Russia has already moved into America. It is too late I think.
, doing the right thing is not rebellion - it’s simply upholding their oath of office.
McConnell is a quiver looking for a spine to run up
Gutless and corrupt MoscowMitch
Wouldn't a revolt require growing a backbone?
KurdsBetrayed by the entire GOP Crimes Against Humanity. All for their land and Oil! CorruptGOP and Trumps foreign policies are based on his conflicts of interest and gains! They choose party before Country!
And still, they do nothing.
Trump Towers Istanbul
Step one: Learn how to say Erdogan
Excuse my dumbass for thinking we were putting sanctions on the poultry industry
He needs help with his Trump Tower Istambul
Yeah, they’re frustrated but not enough to SAY or DO anything. Freaking cowards !
Wait... Policy Syria?! C’mon. It’s what whoever last pisses in his ear.
Sure, sure they are. They are all cowards doing his bidding.
Syria policy? When did that happen? Oh, wait...that's right, I should probably check with Putin first.
This isn’t just Trump’s Syria policy, it’s the GOP’s Syria policy. GOP lawmakers handed over complete control to Trump, knowing full well his flaws, so their “frustration” is of their own making and doesn’t deserve to be taken seriously.
I would like craven ghoul Mitch McConnell to feel something 1,000 times worse than frustrated.
Cozy like with a fire and marshmallows
FWIW:
shoot the pig, save the farm...
Hotels in Turkey? Its as simple as that.
LindseyGrahamSC ... 40 yr old installed as a judge, no trial experience, no clue of the law ... you install him in a prestigious bench position. You just keep piling it on to make it easy to oust you in 2020 .
Really? They’re frustrated NOW? Geezus - where the F have they been?

Does anyone else get the feeling that Trump is trying to realign America from 'allies' to 'axis'?
Backbone from quiver chin?

Maybe Moscow Mitch is waking up, I'm not so sure but maybe.
Hahahahahahaha
