At the time, it was a very bad idea because it alerts our enemies that our rear guard contingent will grow ever more vulnerable as we withdraw. That was then, but its different now.

This is almost definitely the case. Remember that when Loser Donald heard that people wanted “transparency” about the wall, he thought they meant “the wall needs to be see-through”. And when he heard that the F-35 was “stealth”, he thought that meant that it was invisible. And he thinks that Democrats will support the wall if he says it’s “Sleel Stats” instead of “Concrete”. And when he heard that Hillary’s emails were “bleached”, he thought they used “a very expensive chemical”.

FTR that was supposed to ask if this schmuck can get any dumber, but it might have asked, “Can you decorate trees in dumplings?” The answer to that is no, you use donuts.

When Trump is impeached and indicted I will be carrying two cups of coffee and a dozen donuts!

At least when President Individual-1 name-drops two Corinthians we can rest assured it can’t get that much more stupiderp.

Apparently Individual 1 wants to build his wall to protect us from … coyotes.

Thank God! I can’t tell you how many times I fell for the old dish of free birdseed under a loose boulder trick!

When Trump got elected, I really hoped that he understood that he was elected President and not appointed Emperor. He does not.

The “believe it or not” makes very clear that he thinks he is talking about actual coyotes. Because he’s an imbecile.

Actually, the fewer troops we have in foreign quagmires, the better. It’d be nice if they came home in some kind of rational way, rather than on a whim.
Trump’s No-Good Very-Bad Week (so far):
[ul]
[li]Michael “He’s a good man” Flynn had his legal strategy – I’m guilty, but the FBI tricked me – slapped down, hard, by a federal judge at his sentencing. [/li]
[li]The Dow is down 5%[/li]
[li]Trump caved on funding for the Wall.[/li]
[li]As a result of the above, his besties at Fox were very disappointed in him.[/li]
[li]Trump flip-flopped on the Wall, pissing off virtually everyone in Washington. [/li]
[li]He pulled troops out of Syria against the advice of everyone in the world not named Vladimir.[/li]
[li]And as a result of the above, his Sec’y of Defense – the last grown-up in the room – quit on principle, and made absolutely no bones about his reasons.[/li][/ul]
And the week’s not over.
Pfft, that list is nothing compared to that time Obama wore a tan suit! And do you remember that time he tried to give healthcare to everyone!?!?!
Don’t forget that time he saluted with a coffee cup! I’m still amazed he wasn’t impeached after that.

It’s very likely that Trump also thinks “clean coal” has been physically scrubbed with brushes before it’s burned.
Yeah, I think the speechwriter was going for some alliteration (chaos, crime, cartels, & coyotes), but Trump is oblivious to many things, not just little subtle ones.

Yeah- but all the immigrants have to do is paint a hole in the wall to pass thru.

Do you all realize that Trump successfully stopped the media from talking about the stock market crash, Mueller investigation, Flynn, Cohen, Butina, etc?
I’ve done more damage…than all recent presidents…not even close!

Not at all. At least, my Twitter feed is full of markets, Mueller, etc.
However, the Syria/Mattis issue is extremely important as well.
Trump hasn’t successfully stopped shit.

He legit hates dogs enough that he might well put them on a par with MISIS13 and Hillary.
I laughed for far too long at this post. The current administration is making me a little (more) unstable.
