He’s calling this invasion Operation Absolute Resolve, and he’s posting on social media pictures of him watching it all unfold, à la Obama and the Bin Laden raid. I’m actually embarrassed for the old codger. Playing big boy.

He’s had plenty of time to slither away and get out of the lime-light and bask in his fortunes. But no, he must stay front and center and make the rest of the world a mess. Just like he is. ---

> [@EddyTeddyFreddy](#): > > How could anyone be so cruel to an innocent cat? [Get him an eagle](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7_OWYrLVOU) What, eagles can’t be innocent? In either case, ‘Trump gets a pet’ would just _confirm_ that he’s got dementia. He’s been too much on the record for too many decades as finding pets to be a source of unacceptable levels of microbes. > [@Maserschmidt](#): > > Invade foreign country and seize its leader. Despicable. Some wit online has asked the question: _ **if Maduro is convicted of 34 felonies, would that make him eligible to be US President?** _ But, yes: utterly despicable.
