Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

This asshole has to have a scapegoat. He's right and they're wrong.
Many of the programs he's aiming at were negotiated and bipartisan.
I can't wait for the day...

In the meantime, Arab countries are lowering oil prices…for who and why?

The world is on fire and he worries about his "image?"

I hear some judges have been reminded of it too.
Department of War, my ass.
By the time the military loses weight and shaves, and midterms change things, Shitler will either be dead or in confinement.

I do too.
I think to get the Nobel Prize for his "peace deal" would be the apex of his life and career. Many people die when they realize that's all there is in life for them.

If nobody else believes his bullshit…he does.

Columbus was not a brutal criminal. He was a clumsy one. He was experienced in sailing, he was a very foolish trader.
To me this is an anniversary of a last hummingbird siting, or last time I mowed for the year.

PROFIT!!!
Ain't that what business is supposed to do, even if it doesn't care for what the customer wants? Contemporary thinking too.

Umpires are just shithouse judges, anyway. Like them, there's a bad apple sometimes. Most of the time, I didn't care who won, I just wanted a fair competition.

As an ex-umpire: Tech has slowed the game down a lot. It used to be that the umpire made a call (hopefully, he was honest), it stood, the game went on. Now, they stop the game, look at cameras, talk about it, overturn the call or not, THEN we get back to the game at hand. How important is accuracy?

Were the Republicans told that all they had to do this year was to pass that ONE DAMNED BILL?

Oh! Is that the diagnostic definition?
I think she's a political prostitute like the rest of them.
