why would the DoD want to meet with a pope in the first place? Isn’t that more of a State Department thing?

“rich guy donates to causes he supports”- so what’s your point?

He was talking to himself. He is after all a living former President

To be fair, many of have been saying for years that Trump tends to parrot the positions of the last person he talked to and is easily swayed by flattery. So in that light the idea he was led into this is consistent with him being a weak-willed narcissist

It’s a triumvirate of Netanyahu, Putin, and Thiel, with Miller and Vought serving as Trump’s handlers. The rest of them are the clown show to distract us.

And Trump will demand a peace prize for it

In WW2, my wife’s uncle was a paratrooper in the Battle of the Bulge. He was captured, and the German commander immediately surrendered to him, because he knew that paratroopers are followed by the whole army. Surrender wins battles without fighting them.

It really hits you when you see the nice ladies who organize the church potluck standing outside in -20 F temps yelling “Fuck ICE” with the enthusiasm of a soccer hooligan at a rivalry match

Minnesota here: we KNOW he isn’t

We are trying to help the dems in congress grow a spine. Lord knows they need one.

Depends on how much he’s willing to pay the hooker. This congress and this cabinet will never turn on him. The shoes are final proof.

He said the same thing about Iran’s nuclear capabilities last summer, so based on that Iran will be exporting more oil than ever by May

His cabinet wears shoes that don’t fit because they are unwilling to speak up. This is not a healthy environment that will produce quality results- it’s a climate of fear resulting in obedience and failure

Those of us who were born here are afraid he’s going to start rounding us up just for disagreeing with him.I would not recommend anyone visit in this environment.

Almost. That only applies if Congress is is session. If Congress is not in session, then the bill does not become law. So there’s the GOP loophole.

You hit them, they hit you. That’s how these things work

Ammunition costs, fuel costs for ships and aircraft, combat pay for personnel, general supply (food and other consumables), increased maintenance on equipment like aircraft. it all adds up

Attended a performance of Macbeth at the Guthrie tonight.

"I think our country sinks beneath the yoke; / It weeps, it bleeds, and each new day a gash / Is added to her wounds"

Pretty sure there’s one junior aide somewhere that doesn’t talk much- does that count?

“interfered with law enforcement and injured a veteran”- there, I fixed it.

What are you talking about? What exactly is “it” that you claim Mossad did, and what are your sources?

Disappointed in how quickly these officers abandoned their integrity

Qatar says: nope

Pretty sure Iran is dusting off binders of plans as we speak

I’m thinking someone knowledgeable pushed for the first two, but they had to throw in Kirk to get approval from the bootlickers

Your timeline is too limited. Check out Iran, 1953-1979

Sunlight is a great disinfectant

Even if the US manages to effect the end of the current regime in Iran, when has that ever gone well long-term? Please be specific.

And yet he seems desperate to do that going forward

Gosh, that original post isn’t the least bit awkwardly phrased and sounds totally like how a native English speaker would sound…🙄
