I don’t know. Does Tillerson/Exxon have a tax dispute with Uzbekistan like he did with Chad?
Too bad Uzbekistan wasn’t on that Muslim ban list. :rolleyes:
I have a feeling that list will soon sound like a sad version of the Monty Python Spanish Inquisition sketch:
"There are six countries that must be on the Muslim ban list! Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Yemen and Syria!!
"No, wait – five! FIVE countries that must be on the Muslim ban list! Iran, Libya, Somalia, Yemen and Syria!
"Hang on… Eight! EIGHT countries that must be on the Muslim ban list! Iran, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, Chad, Venezuela and North Korea!!
"Well, just a moment… Nine! NINE countries that must be on the Muslim ban list! Iran, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, Chad, Venezuela, North Korea and Uzbekistan…!!
“Can we add Germany…?”
ETA: LOL, ninja’d by running coach.
Of course he didn’t. Other people read it and gave it to him, while he watched the favorable news to figure out how to spin it, all while thinking it was his own idea.
Even if Trump can read, there’s no way he read something written at a 8th grade level. And actually taking up more than 120 characters.
Before this I thought Uzbekistan was a joke from that Borat movie.
It doesn’t confirm Borat’s blanket assessment, but this particular Uzbek does indeed seem to be an evil nitwit.
So I guess all the whining by Republicans and 2nd Amendment floggers about how it’s not appropriate to talk about policy in the immediate wake of a tragedy was in fact . . . a lie?
Actually, Uzbekibekibekistanstan was on the first draft of the list, but got dropped somewhere along the line.
It’s not appropriate to talk about items designed to kill people and how they are treated like toys after a mass shooting, but if there is any sort of issue involving a foreigner, it’s time to find out what’s going on.
Only if the issue involves deaths of Americans. If the issue involves changing the outcome of elections, hey no problem if the “right” party benefits!
I have the – believe me when I tell you this – the best indictment in the world, the best. Nobody has had an indictment like me.
Did Obama get led out of the White House in cuffs? No, he just walked. Sad, very low ratings. When I leave, it’ll lead on every channel. Every. Channel.
I haven’t checked into this thread in a while, but at the risk of reanimating what probably should not become a zombie, I’d like to set the record straight. First there was this post:
I replied:
Please note that nowhere did I say that anyone would be gleeful or that anyone (let alone “millions”) would cheer, yet Octopus has implied that I said those very things.
For his misrepresentation, I believe he owes me an apology.
However, my point stands – and I stand behind it. I do not believe there is any act so vile that Donny John’s fans wouldn’t forgive or claim is somehow not true.
If Kim Jong-un raped a child, do you not think that the parents of that child might indeed consider that a great honor was bestowed? Do you honestly believe that those who revere Two Scoops as their own Dear Leader would treat it any differently?
Oh, BTW, Octopus – thanks for calling me “nasty”. I’ll wear my Nasty Woman t-shirt* with even more pride now.

I see Trump is literally quoting Fox & Friends this morning.
Trump on the Vegas scumbag: “a very sick individual” and “he had a lot of problems.” When asked if America has a gun violence problem? “We’re not going to talk about that today” and “we won’t talk about that.”
Trump exploiting New York scumbag: “an animal” and “I’ma send him to Guantanamo” Of course, it was completely appropriate to politicize the tragedy. Blame immigration policies. Blame Chuck Schumer.
I’m not sure anyone has noticed, but the so-called president is a cowardly, worthless piece of human filth.
I thought this was well put (italics & bold were in the original):
America’s Victim-in-Chief
Scarcely a week goes by when the president doesn’t publicly adopt a posture of victimhood to evade responsibility for his failures and shortcomings.
Sadly, there is a significant portion of the country too ignorant, too blind, and just too goddamned evil to have noticed. Even more sadly, many of this country’s representatives also fill that description.
Trump is a real fuckin brainiac.
You sure you don’t mean “fucked-in-the-brainiac”? 
Trump is already calling for the death penalty in the NYC truck-killing case. I know this is just SOP for him, nothing out of the “ordinary”, but it so disgraceful for a president to fuck with the judicial system like this. When will our time of national shame finally be over???
I believe in the next breath he said the criminal justice system “is a joke.”
