Ol’ Donnie has been on a rampage today.

1-[Attacking John Podesta’s brother.](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/848856822312292354)

2-[Attacking Hillary.](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/848857910297980928)

3-[Tweeting to the FBI Twitter account to watch Fox News (without any specific link) to find evidence that he was wiretapped.](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/848880519458717698) Does he not know that he’s the (cough, puke) President, and can go and speak to the FBI any time he wants?

I hear ya, but he wasn’t talking to the FBI with that tweet, he was talking to his easily manipulated supporters. I hope the FBI doesn’t feel used and dirty.

Dude, the election is over you won, get over it.

Usually you only have to tell the losing side that.

This here is one item (and there had been many examples already) that should give pause to many conservatives.

Unfortunately many conservatives, even in the SDMB, seem to have trouble to just spit something like “I do not approve what the President is doing here”. Think about it guys, you are supporting someone that has a lot of power in his hands and he is unwilling to check the proper intelligence reports and instead relies on sources full of conspiracy theories or propaganda geared to be in favor of Trump himself.

That is not going to lead to good results when real big emergencies or crisis pop up.

Oh i figure there will be entire classes taught on how we let this happen. Assuming there is enough society left to hold classes. The Mole People can call it " how we came to be."

Ivanka tweeted about her lovely day with the Xis, and Jake Tapper took her on. When one of her defenders started attacking him, he fought back.

That’s what passes for news now? Or “attacking”, or “fighting back”? One tweet each?

I weep.

Did we hit the runways? Did we miss and hit runways? I am not sure what he is trying to explain here.

It’s a waste on munitions because of the ease of repair.

There are specialized bombs made for _really_ damaging runways but they need to be dropped by airplane.

Well…yeah.Pissed off passengers with no luggage!  
I mean…Is he blaming the troops for hitting runways instead of more valuable targets? Is he admitting that they were aiming for runways in order to waste the missiles in a meaningless symbolic gesture? I don’t know what his purpose is in that tweet.

As I understand it, we did not hit the runways and the base is already in use again. :smack:
