Trump has awarded next year's G-7 summit of world leaders to his Miami-area resort, the White House said
President Trump had hinted repeatedly that he intended to hold the annual gathering at Trump National Doral Miami, where profits have fallen in recent years. The Group of Seven summit rotates among sites chosen by the seven member countries, as well as by the European Union. The last time it was held in the United States, in 2012, President Barack Obama held it at the government-owned retreat at Camp David in Maryland.

U.S., Turkey agree to 5-day ceasefire in Syria, Pence says, to let Kurds withdraw after U.S. pullout triggered violence
The announcement came after a meeting between Vice President Pence and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, held amid soaring tensions between Washington and Ankara over Turkey's week-old military offensive in northern Syria. The operation has sparked fears of an Islamic State resurgence and hastened a U.S. military withdrawal.

"just a pause".

Angry Trump Fans Accuse Bus Company Of ‘Deep State’ Plot To Strand Them But It Turns Out They Never Paid

Lindsey Weedston about 3 hours ago
A group of Trump supporters who had planned to attend an anti-impeachment rally in D.C. on Thursday accused a bus company of a deep state conspiracy after they failed to send the expected buses to shuttle them to the Capitol Building. As it turns out, the group had pulled a very Trump-like move by failing to pay for the buses.

Hundreds of Trump fans were left stranded yesterday after buses to take them to DC never showed up.
Organizers claim the bus company is biased against conservatives, but the bus company has a simpler explanation: they were never paid.

After a lot of complaining, social media yelling, and bad online reviews, US Coachways explained to reporters that they didn’t send the buses because of a series of declined credit cards that left the company without payment for the transportation.Organizers claim the bus company is biased against conservatives, but the bus company has a simpler explanation: they were never paid.

Trumplicans are the only pinheads that say there's a ceasefire. Thinking people know that's baloney and Erdogan says it's only a pause and it isn't even that. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...nues-on-syria-turkey-border-despite-ceasefire
And Trump equated the battling with a schoolyard fight. DUH
When this episode is over and the Kurds are decimated, I wonder if the orange dude with the dead alien on his head will start sanctions and send troops again like the crises starter he is.
On the lighter side, Marine General Mattis poked back at Trump. https://www.cbsnews.com/live/#x "......I am the MOST overrrated general.......", says Cadet Bonespurs. And "I earned my spurs at the battlefield" and Trump ""earned his spurs from a letter from the doctor". lol Then, Mattis went on, "the only person on the military that Mr. Trump doesn't think is overrated is Colonel Sanders," ..... https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/18/us/mattis-trump.html

Trump’s impeachment barricade crumbles
Key witnesses are ignoring Trump and delivering bombshell testimony in Democrats’ Ukraine investigation.
The president's former top Russia adviser, Fiona Hill — the first White House official to cooperate in Democrats' investigation of the Ukraine scandal — has detailed for lawmakers a trail of alleged corruption that extends from Kyiv to the West Wing. In dramatic testimony on Monday, she roped in some of Trump's top advisers as witnesses to the unfolding controversy.
Story Continued Below
And on Tuesday, a senior State Department official, George Kent, testified for nearly 10 hours about his knowledge of the episode despite an attempt by Trump administration lawyers to block him, according to a source working on the impeachment inquiry. The House Intelligence Committee issued a subpoena for his testimony Tuesday morning, and Kent, the deputy assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian Affairs, complied.
According to people familiar with his testimony, Kent told House impeachment investigators that he was alarmed at the role Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal attorney, was playing in Ukraine. In particular, one lawmaker in the room said Kent was concerned because the president was apparently listening to Giuliani, who had mounted a months-long campaign to discredit Joe Biden on unfounded charges.
“He was concerned at the undue influence a private attorney — not an official with the United States government and not someone charged with the responsibility of U.S. relations with Ukraine — was exerting, and that Giuliani was listening to discredited sources and had ties to some questionable characters in Ukraine, and nonetheless had the ear of the president,” Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) said in a brief interview as he emerged from Kent’s deposition.
Kent’s appearance on Tuesday was just the latest evidence that the White House’s stonewalling against congressional requests for documents and testimony is crumbling — and Democrats now have a new sense of momentum.
