Insightful response healyje...

Insults are what people resort to when they have no ability to respond with a thoughtful comment

Prelude to an unannounced withdrawal?

Notice that to get his 'military' appearance on he got a haircut and dye job and presumably a bone spur fix up in case he wants to re-up after his wonderful, wonderful service During the Vietnam war fighting STD's


Oh yeah,wasn't this rushed out in order to just change the subject and get the heat turned down?

ok Cosmic, you are a really smart and well informed Republican voter, right?

you have it all, a Republican President, Senate, House, and Attorney General

why do you suppose it is that Mrs Clinton has not been tried, convicted and jailed by now?

exactly what "crime" has she committed, what law did she break, Cosmic?

state the statute and article

SomebodyAnybody:
This is some woefully simplistic and misinformed bullsh#t. Syrian civil war kicked off long before the U.S. got involved and was really born out of a drought if you want to get right down to it.
According to Al Jazeera it started in 2011 when Obama was in the office.

And Yury, is was not before that, was it? Say perhaps some 100 years before. If not even earlier. How do we read history?

Interesting article though with some valid points. Though the video starts out a bit melodramatic. but to some people, war is a melodrama.

Hey Redbreast is nice, wish I could afford it.

You are not clever Dwain, try again.

And so this thread deteriorates into name calling (mea culpa) and away from what is best for the nation (and Canada too Jimbo). So it seems I have a Trump supporter, Dwain, and a Trump sympathiser, Canadian Jim, wishing me ill. You cannot make this sh#t up.

If I lose any sleep tonight, it will be because I am laughing.

No, Patrick, Jim is no Trump sympathizer. I'm not sure how you came up with that idea, but you couldn't be farther from the truth.

Dwain? Yeah, I think he's one of the millions of people who Trump has screwed for years, and that therefore they believe they should support him, but Mr. Brennan? Where did you get the idea that Jim was sympathetic to anything Donald Trump has ever said, done, or proposed?

Ah Ghost, I was just throwing that out there. I suspect Jim is not a Trump sympathiser, I was just trying to be mean. But if I am an ass then Jim is a smug ass, certainly about me (and I may or may not deserve it), but he is smug, read his previous posts over the years.

As for me, well, I have a lot of work to do, in more ways than one.

But Jim is correct, this thread is not about me or him or any other Taco Stander. It is about what is good for America (and as Jim is a Canadian it does affect Canada).

In my lay opinion, we have a POTUS who is unhinged, and that is not good.

Yeah Jim, and at my age, I should know better. But I am still trying to learn, unlike you, I do not have all the answers. I still delight in new discoveries about life, everyday.

EDIT

Deleted because it was a dumb thing to write.

EDIT

And I do apologise if I have ever offended anybody. Yes Jim and Dwain too. I can make excuses, but at the end of the day, I have only myself to answer for.

cheers

The Republicans have spent over $200 million of taxpayer money investigating the Clintons. Cosmic, why do you suppose they haven't found anything to jail Bill or Hillary on?

Could perhaps $200 million have been better spent on, say, education in some poor district?

Alright... here's a policy issue. Should the government be able to conduct highly unfocused searches that target people based on party/candidate affiliation?

Executive branch of US Govt trying to round up records for people who visited anti-Trump websites... the noose is tightening as we make America greater and greater. Will he be kicked out first or will he declare martial law and call upon volunteer militias to "take back America" from our "corrupt institutions."?

The same thing could be said about the so called Trump/Russia
connection.

Indeed, but that doesn't answer my question.

Except that its Trumps own party that are investigating the Trump/Russia connection.
