ih8music Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Oh please, he was just kidding around. World leaders in charge of the greatest and most powerful military ever known to mankind are always joking like that. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Yeah, plus he said the below - so we are all good. (fitting that he said it at the National Prayer Breakfast, too) “The world is in trouble, but we’re gonna straighten it out, OK? That’s what I do, I fix things,” Trump said Thursday morning at the National Prayer Breakfast. “We’re gonna straighten it out. Believe me. When you hear about the tough phone calls I’m having, don’t worry about it. Just don’t worry about it.” Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 He spent part of his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast trashing Arnold's ratings on The Apprentice. Seriously. No doubt. And, touting his own Apprentice ratings. There is no time nor place that is not an opportune time for him to blow himself in front of a group of people. Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 In my pool on who will trump go to war with first Iran and China were the popular picks to win. Now Mexico is moving up the list in a bigly way, with Australia being a newly added dark horse.// Link to post Share on other sites

John Smith Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Turns out the Mexico thing was just a joke. That Donnie is such a cut up, because that's what world leaders do, they joke about invading each other. Hilarious. Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 He spent part of his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast trashing Arnold's ratings on The Apprentice. Seriously. What is being totally missed in all of this is his vow to end the Johnson Amendemnt, which forbids tax-exempt Churches from political speech. Also notice no one is talking about his SCOTUS nominee anymore. Donald is a trickster Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 What is being totally missed in all of this is his vow to end the Johnson Amendemnt, which forbids tax-exempt Churches from political speech. My hope is that, if the Johnson amendment is removed, it will ultimately hurt the churches who choose to become partisan, and religion in general, more than it harms democracy. But one this is for absolute certain either way: It will harm democracy. Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 The journalist misquoted her. She obviously said "Massacree" MassacreeThe term "massacree," used by Guthrie in the title to describe the whole scenario, is a colloquialism originating in the Ozark Mountains that describes "an event so wildly and improbably and baroquely messed up that the results are almost impossible to believe." It is a corruption of the word massacre (itself of French origin, possibly from the now nearly extinct Missouri French dialect) but carries a much lighter and more sarcastic connotation, never being used to describe anything involving actual death.

Didn't a San Diego Catholic church publish something along the lines that a vote for Hillary is a mortal sin?

At the very least, these fuckers will need to start paying taxes like the rest of us. Link to post Share on other sites

Winston Legthigh Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 In 1997, after facing years of criticism for her and her family’s campaign contributions, DeVos defended herself in Roll Call.“I have decided to stop taking offense at the suggestion that we are buying influence,” she wrote. “Now I simply concede the point. They are right. We do expect something in return. We expect to foster a conservative governing philosophy consisting of limited government and respect for traditional American virtues. We expect a return on our investment.” Link to post Share on other sites

lost highway Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 So it appears that the court system is one wheel Mr. Trump cannot grease. I think our friends in the judiciary branch could have a drink with certain Australian and Mexican officials. They have a lot to share. Link to post Share on other sites
