From a Reddit thread: > What other country tells the enemy when we are going to attack like Obama is doing with ISIS. Whatever happened to the element of surprise? > @walaa\_3ssaf No, dopey, I would not go into Syria, but if I did it would be by surprise and not blurted all over the media like fools. > Why do we keep broadcasting when we are going to attack Syria. Why can’t we just be quiet and, if we attack at all, catch them by surprise? 9:45 PM - 28 Aug 2013 ---

> [@Uncle\_Jocko](#): > > - Fox & Friends has a segment about Russia vowing to shoot down missiles in Syria; a few minutes later Trump tweets about “smart,” unshootable missiles on their way and “Gas Killing Animal” Assad. What continues to baffle me is that Trump _doesn’t seem to know that he is President_. He has more access to intelligence than anyone else on the planet–the CIA, FBA, NSA, and virtually any other 3-letter combination that you can imagine. And yet he continues to get his information from the same TV (scare quotes)news(scare quotes) shows that he always has and seems to completely ignore his intelligence services entirely. ---

I have worked for people that will bitch about their employees to anyone who will listen, but they do nothing to provide direction or training to them. I called out a GM once who was literally yelling at the walls about how no one would put soups away after lunch. I was like, “Dude, seriously, the only one who can hear you are the walls and myself. I always put the soups away when I do lunch, and the walls don’t work for you.” This does not make these people good candidates for office though. ---

Yesterday Trump twittered that we should all watch last night’s Hannity show because it was going to be a “big show”. That big show was Hannity ranting about Mueller’s ties to the Deep State and compared him to a mob boss. ---

Those leaks trickling out about Comey’s book, and the yellow-journalism coverage thereof, really have him _pissed_! > [@Cheeto Caesar](#): > > James Comey is a proven LEAKER & LIAR. Virtually everyone in Washington thought he should be fired for the terrible job he did-until he was, in fact, fired. He leaked CLASSIFIED information, for which he should be prosecuted. He lied to Congress under OATH. He is a weak and… …untruthful slime ball who was, as time has proven, a terrible Director of the FBI. His handling of the Crooked Hillary Clinton case, and the events surrounding it, will go down as one of the worst “botch jobs” of history. It was my great honor to fire James Comey! ---

Maybe. Erik Prince is a protege of Dick Cheney. Or maybe Donald was just feeling insecure and needed something to show that he can president gooder than the old presidents. ---
