Trump “jokes” about the freakin’ War of 1812 in a phone call with the Canadian PM: [https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/06/politics/war-of-1812-donald-trump-justin-trudeau-tariff/index.html](https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/06/politics/war-of-1812-donald-trump-justin-trudeau-tariff/index.html) ---

I have to give him more credit. :rolleyes: ---

Burning the “Whitehouse” (there really is no name for that building) was simply an example of England’s close working relationship with us at the time. > **[State Department spokeswoman notes D-Day in answer on 'strong relationship'...](https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/05/politics/state-department-heather-nauert-germany-israel/index.html)** > > State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert on Tuesday cited the D-Day invasion during an answer about the current state of US-German relations. ---

Once more taking the axe to Obamacare.

No repairing or replacing in sight, only breaking and destroying. Fundamentalists must be thrilled with this anti-Christ they’ve elected. All his actions seem aimed at spurring along the four horses- the four horsemen can probably barely hang on.
