Trump flip flops on waterboarding. Add another lie to the list

[NYcarbineer]

WASHINGTON, Nov 23 — US president-elect Donald Trump said today that advice from a Marine general renowned for his frank talk had convinced him to think again about authorising the torture of detainees.

The Republican tycoon had previously made bloodcurdling pledges to restore waterboarding and “far, far worse” in US detention centres, scorning President Barack Obama’s ban on the practice.

But last weekend Trump sat down with James Mattis, a retired general respected across Washington and the US military for his no-nonsense approach, to discuss naming him defence secretary.

Yesterday, in an interview with the New York Times, Trump said he’d been surprised to discover that such an uncompromising commander was opposed to allowing US personnel to torture suspects.

“He said: ‘I’ve never found it to be useful’,” he said, adding that Mattis advised building a rapport with detainees: “Give me a pack of cigarettes and a couple of beers and I’ll do better.”

“I was very impressed by that answer,” Trump told the Times, in a marked U-turn from his campaign mantra: “Torture works, OK? Believe me, it works.”

Yeah, rendition is just soooooo much easier. We catch them, let someone else fry'em up.​

He has flip-flopped on almost everything he promised the RWNJ traitors. I do think he will keep his promises to Pooting though. After all, Pooting paid good money for his spot in the Oval Office.

Waterboarding wasn't/isn't classified as torture. Navy SEALs are trained with it and it's against the UCMJ to torture the troops. Where does it say he says waterboarding will not be permitted in his administration?

Trump flip flops on waterboarding

If anybody doesn't like it, wait another week, he'll change his mind again......

 

[ClosedCaption]

Waterboarding is not torture. It's about like going through a football or fraternity initiation.

See the thing with bootlickers is they like the taste of the boot itself and not the brand. The Human Being was for waterboarding and against it depending on what side Trump is on.

Bingo.
