Trump.

lol......

The U.S. has done absolutely no good in the so-called “Greater Middle East” since its imbecilic leadership in 2001 proclaimed a vague “War on Terror” aimed mainly at Islamist forces seen as terrorists—but open-ended enough to include North Korea (in the stupidly conceptualized “Axis of Evil”), Filipino Maoists, or units of the Iranian military. (By the way, note that the author of that stupid term, Bush speechwriter—now a respected CNN “political news analyst”—-David Frum, is a Canadian interfering in the U.S. political process. But nobody cares. Imagine if he were Russian.)

How is it that all your news sources have such a blind spot with Russia?  I actually agree with a lot of CP stuff, but they all seem convinced that Russian election interference and Trump's questionable decision making in regards to all things that benefit Russia are just non-stories.  I don't think this stance is going to age well.

Wrong thread actually (lol).

But he will win... something lol.

Man are we ever Trump fatigued.  The US is in the middle of a record-setting shutdown over an imaginary army of brown children and we just found out that the FBI started to investigate Trump to see if he was a Russian asset.  Apparently, even a train wreck gets boring when it lasts 2 years (and counting).

“Russia used to be the Soviet Union. Afghanistan made it Russia, because they went bankrupt fighting in Afghanistan,” Trump began. “The reason Russia was in Afghanistan was because terrorists were going into Russia. They were right to be there. The problem is, it was a tough fight. And literally they went bankrupt; they went into being called Russia again, as opposed to the Soviet Union. You know, a lot of these places you’re reading about now are no longer part of Russia, because of Afghanistan.”

I think Trump made a small error in that quote. They went broke fighting Afghanistan AND Rambo.

Fatigue has set in.  His orange face is giving people PTSD.

So Pelosi's trip to see the troops, and NATO, gets cancelled by Trump but meanwhile his wife takes the government jet down to Florida...
