His first instinct was to pull out?

If only his father had had such instincts.

Lweji · 22/08/2017 13:10

Maybe he did.
It's a high failure rate method and Trump is known to be doggedly persistent. Which would explain his daddy issues.

You know the old question: if you had a time machine, would you go back and kill/prevent Hitler?

I hope it isn't replaced with Trump.

I have literally no idea whether this is a genuine Trump tweet or not...Shock

False. It's very disturbing that we can't be 100% sure though?

Hi Gum.

Yes, it is indeed disturbing.

Had the misfortune to catch some of Trump's recital followed by the Paul Ryan town hall on CNN.

He seems to think that a heavy streak of earnest is enough to conceal the smug and shameless that shines through.

She was really stung wasn't she, NorthWest?

The Brits do seem to have contibuted a number of deplorables to the US and that's before you even count the others who have been cheering Trump from the sidelines.

The base isn't too keen on the 'unlimited war' concept. A Beast piece.

Base bewails unlimited war

Ryan on Afghanistan: “If they believe if we have an end date, some timetable, they will wait us out.”

If your view is that any declaration of a war's end will precipitate victory for some undefined enemy, then the war can never end.

I am reminded, in some ways, of Vietnam.

Pres. Trump: "When I became President, I was given a bad and very complex hand," but I knew what I was getting into t.co/JmAQ7Ufc0B

No fucking kidding? It's the same hand Obama already had.

And no, you had no idea.

In early August, the president crossed a new benchmark — over 1,000 false or misleading claims.

Quite impressive, Pain. He's the bigliest lier. (Yes, I'm using alt-spelling)

That's because people knew Obama's speech would be followed by action. Plus he's a good speaker.
Whereas Trump would be vacuous gibberish.
