Of course he wants it both ways. What do we expect from the man who rode down the escalator while wearing elevator shoes? ---

He’s like former president Homer Simpson: Started out pretty dumb, and somehow he keeps gettin a little dumber each season. ---

WTF? F-22 on a bombing mission? Painting them with Chinese insignias? If they’re close enough to see the insignias, they’re close enough to notice they’re F-22s, which no one but the US has (I think, or at least China doesn’t have them), and is not a bomber, anyway. I mean, I’m no military expert, but WTF? ---

As the headline says, this suggestion of Trump’s is definitely like what a drunken uncle would say at the table before he wanders away to sleep it off. Just fucking pathetic. “Oh ignore him, that’s just old Uncle Donald. And yes, he often wears his underpants on his head like that. He thinks it keeps the radio waves out of his brain.” ---

I’m guessing the fool said “F-22” because that’s the only warplane he can even vaguely remember the name of. ---

I wouldn’t have been surprised if he’d suggested using B-17s. Or maybe B-29s, since two of them actually did drop nuclear weapons. ---

I’m sure the plan was much more complicated. First you gotta fly those F-22s real slow past the Ruskies so they can see those Chinese markings. Then you go ahead and start the bombing. Bombing with a fighter plane? Pure genius! They’d never expect it! ---

You just need a real powerful slide projector to make it look like a Chinese F-22. ---

Oh sure, they can drop some bombs. My Civ IV fighters can do that too. I think the lunacy is more with the notion that the Russians would see the markings and also not know that these were American fighters. I’m sure the Russian Air Force knows the USAF’s lineup of planes more than I do. ---
