Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

'Unbeknownst to almost everyone, the major Taliban leaders and, separately, the President of Afghanistan, were going to secretly meet with me at Camp David on Sunday. They were coming to the United States tonight. Unfortunately, in order to build false leverage, they admitted to..

....an attack in Kabul that killed one of our great great soldiers, and 11 other people. I immediately cancelled the meeting and called off peace negotiations. What kind of people would kill so many in order to seemingly strengthen their bargaining position? They didn’t, they....

....only made it worse! If they cannot agree to a ceasefire during these very important peace talks, and would even kill 12 innocent people, then they probably don’t have the power to negotiate a meaningful agreement anyway. How many more decades are they willing to fight?'

Do you think Trump actually wrote that tweet? Even if the content is batshit, it's coherent with correct spelling and grammar. And "unbeknownst" doesn't strike me as a normal part of his vocabulary .

Nah. Big words, no repeats, NO CAPITALS, no bigging himself up bigly (no stupid words or typos).

Someone’s nabbed his phone whilst he was in the tanning booth.

I saw the first word and thought 'Naahhhhhhh'. Grin

I still don't know what they are trying to achieve with this (the tweet--not the secret meeting/not meeting). We are fast approaching the 9/11 anniversary.

Some more good on impeachment it seems:

'The Tory party’s revolt against Mr. Johnson, and his ruthless purging of the rebels, are reverberating through British politics, threatening his hold on power. For dispirited Republicans, though, this British revolution has become an object lesson in how a center-right party can stand up to a wayward leader.'

Do you think Trump actually wrote that tweet?

And it actually says "me" instead of "President Trump" or "your favourite president".Grin

Mr O'Donnell

lionheart · 08/09/2019 17:21

He is strangely reassuring. Smile

cozietoesie · 08/09/2019 18:34

Oh Yes.

Lweji · 08/09/2019 22:09

About 7 years ago, guess who tweeted this?

While @BarackObama is slashing the military, he is also negotiating with our sworn enemy the Taliban--who facilitated 9/11.

I'm not sure it's fair to blame ICE or Trump, if it was just one shipping company and not an official policy. Much as I would like to.

(But I will never take any ship belonging to that company, not that they would give a stuff.)

cozietoesie · 09/09/2019 17:48

Well they didn't win you, that's clear.

Re-do election for No Carolina's 9th (after the GOP played dirty with ballots) is tomorrow (Tue 10/9). Some sources are saying it could be a predictor for 2020, so of course Scrotus is screaming "No it's NOT!", unless the GOP wins then he'll say "See, it'll be just like this in 2020".
