Why wouldn’t they just sell them, make a bunch of money, and buy a condo in, oh, Cancun or something? Never mind. ---

“Like a dog” is Trump’s go-to insult when he can’t think of anything else. Dogs don’t generally get fired. And why the quotes around “General”? Is there some question as to whether or not McChrystal is legitimately holding that rank? (I seem to recall an episode of Friends where Joey misuses air-quotes.) ---

When is someone going to removed this so-called president from office?? He embarrasses himself and this country every single day. ---

“Fired like a dog” sounds like something Biff Tannen would say. I wish I had a Delorean so I could fix this wretched timeline. ---

Well, to be fair, he’s a New Yorker and all they got there are purse dogs. In my book, if you have to kneel to pet it, it is not really a dog. So, no, he’s never seen a dog. QED ---

Trump avoids dogs, as they tend to bite him. You can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can’t fool a dog. ---

This is Trump’s shut down. No one else’s. On TV he bragged that he would own it, would be proud of it. Now he’s lying about it - when the whole world saw and heard him say it. He turned down that bipatisan plan to keep the doors open after indicating he’d go along, in a temper tantrum about a wall he will NEVER get. And now, after shitting on that, also after a lifetime of NEVER honoring any deal he ever made (he’s famous for reneges and backstabs), he is making a phony show of wantigg to make a deal. He doesn’t want a deal. He wants everyone ELSE to cave and for hmslef to “win”. Not gonna happen. He can take his “many people say” and “some people say” and “everyone wants” and go to hell. ---
