Despite what you read in school, Yanks, your 'checks and balances' system isn't actually worth a pig's dick. Far too many holes in it for it to be an enduring system.

Trumpy's taken an extra big step in degrading a congress that has already had its balls ripped off.

General Joseph Votel breaks rank with Trump over Syria
As President Donald Trump is due to declare the end of Islamic State (IS), the top US general in the Middle East says he disagrees with the decision.

Gen Joseph Votel told CNN that IS militants were still active in Syria and US-backed forces were not yet capable of handling the threat alone.

The commander told the Senate last week that Mr Trump did not consult him ahead of announcing his Syria pull-out plans.

He is the latest US official to break with Mr Trump over his Syria strategy.

"[IS] still has leaders, still has fighters, it still has facilitators, it still has resources, so our continued military pressure is necessary to continue to go after that network," Gen Votel told CNN on Friday.

"When I say, 'we have defeated them,' I want to ensure that means they do not have the capability to plot or direct attacks against the US or our allies."

Mr Trump announced in December that "after historic victories" against IS, he would be immediately withdrawing US troops from the region.

His surprise policy shift led to the resignation of Defence Secretary Jim Mattis, further shocking US lawmakers and allies.

Gen Votel said: "It would not have been my military advice at that particular time."

Gen Votel, who is the head of US Central Command, also noted that waiting until US-backed Syrian forces were capable of managing the IS threat on their own was "another key criteria indicating to me that we have accomplished our mission".

"We're not there," he said.

national emergency day 2 surviving well so far off my taco bell rations but I fear my taco bell supply may dwindle due to the grave and immediate threat from illegal aliens. I have to buy less taco bell because the GOP tax scam gave me a smaller refund.

Lol. So defensive. What's your point? The fucking Queen of England is our head of state and I'm not some patriot dipshit who gives a shit about defending his country. We're not talking about Australia, which nobody thinks is the perfect democratic model anyway.

My point is that the American system appears to be better at first glance, but some key things were fucked up.
