As the Impeachment hearings continue, President Trump and Turkey's Erdogan will meet with Republicans at the White House. The agenda includes Turkey's decision to buy a Russian air defense system and its attack on U.S.-allied Kurdish forces in Syria.

President Donald Trump speaks to reporters on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, Friday, Nov. 8, 2019, before boarding Marine One for a short trip to Andrews Air Force Base, Md. and then on to Georgia to meet with supporters.

Last month, the House overwhelmingly passed a bill to sanction senior Turkish officials and its army for the military incursion into Syria to fight the Kurds. Erdogan sees Kurdish forces in Syria as an extension of a separatist Kurdish group that’s been fighting inside Turkey since the 1980s. Trump administration officials have said the president told Turkey not to invade Syria. But when Erdogan insisted, they say Trump decided to move 28 Green Berets operating on the Turkey-Syria border so they wouldn’t be caught in a crossfire between Turkish-backed forces and the Kurds.

She said Trump must send a message to Erdogan that these actions and unlawful behavior must stop and that those responsible be held accountable.

Doesn’t your heart just wanna break for the poor wife?

As the farce continues .....

Having lunch with the man YOU gave permission to attack and KILL KURDS... Trump should be held for war crimes against the KURDS. AND he has the Nerve to have Erdogan on U.S. SOIL. Appease Putin...

Ahhh hell!! We know that it's just Tea f****** time for thumper!!! I mean trumper

CORRECTION its attack on U.S.-allied PKK Terrorist Leeches firing over US shoulders in Syria. The Associated Press

So, will Erdogan's henchmen be allowed to attack Americans on American soil again, as they did on his last visit? Hope the police - the media are there to protect protesters

Having the butcher of the Kurds in the White House is impeachable in itself. Erdogan, who along with Putin, ordered Trump to remove or stand down the American military in northern Syria.

Omg. disaster. More serious than Watergate or Clinton's escapades led to Impeachment investigations. POTUS realDonaldTrump please act as honest as President RichardNixon who had served UnitedStates honestly 4 decades. Resign.Tbh supporting incl KremlinRussia_E to G8

Distraction.....just distraction and you report it.

Good narrative. CNN will pickit soon

Egypt's President El-Sisi killed my son in a sit-in Rabaa. My husband and three sons were imprisoned and sentenced to 121 years in military trials. There is no human rights or law in Egypt. You are silent about his crimes …

Trump shakes keys to distract as much as possible. jailbreak

Don't they look happy together, lol. NOT!

Of course this was set up to distract any republicans that might be on the fence thinking Trumps goose is cooked from the hearings today. No worries it will be covered ad nauseam on the news. 🤣🤣

This “Inquiry” is no longer about President Trump! Adam Schiff “MisConduct” is what is in question now:). Schiff is a bath of sweat and should answer all “inquiries”. Challenge the investigators!!!

Turkey is the middleman to Putin

Remember the last time Erdogan and his Turkish thugs paid a visit? They physically assaulted american citizens - on american soil. 😒

While we are proving Trump is a traitor, Trump is personally meeting with one of his many handlers.

Trump will probably reward him with this by gifting him 1 free night at any Trump international hotel. *offer excludes the continental breakfast and the mini fridge is not free.

And his hotels? In fact, the only thing The Donald cares about is his hotels. Eh?

This is a total sham put on just for show to trump's supporters.

Trump learned to funnel his orders like his money but because he's stupid he already admitted that he wanted a foreign government to investigate his political opponent. And another problem arises from the fact he didn't care less about Biden until he was gonna run for president

Correction: the coup hearings.

America has lost it's way

“Thorny?” You can do better than this ...

The bottom line to me is, does congress what to cede power to any future POTUS to hold foreign aid to any nation while back channel negotiations happen. We the people will pay a very heavy price if Congress affirms this.
