Well actually, I was thinking of Washington Heights in Manhattan. I really only knew about it because I stayed there once.

I've run into a few "George Washington BLVD"s, and there's George Washington University as well.

And really, he's very well known by people who learned basic US history history, but that requires reading books, and we know how Cheeto Benito feels about reading and learning.

There are at least three sex moves called "the George Washington". And it's a rude way to criticise an exotic dancer by suggesting they only deserve ones.

Do any of those moves involve standing in a rowboat?

Or wooden teeth?

Trump lies because he can, because he knows how it plays with his base and against his opponents, and because it makes him feel more powerful and in-control when he does.

Intriguing. My first thought was if all these are intentional, he must have a superior mind to keep track of them all. Then I realized he doesn’t keep track of any of them. He simply uses an algorithm. Step 1) say whatever he thinks will make him look impressive to the people standing in front of him. Step 2) if someone says something unflattering about him, then call them names and tell a lie that creates the appearance that they are not telling truth in an effort to get back at him. Step 3) yell fake news a lot.

That might explain why he gets so angry with reporters and others ask him about something he said a few days ago. Whatever that lie was is no longer important, he wants everyone to focus on today’s lies.

explains why he gets so angry wHe
 
After today's "waived" Tweet, I have to wonder if his most egregious misspellings are carefully calculated and presented as a deflection only when the news cycle will be potentially worse than usual. This after he found out how successful "covfefe" was in that regard, by accident.

Hot rumor is that the purge at HS is because it leaders were not supportive of closing the border.
I hope he does, because it will crash the economy, and sadly I think it is going to take lot of pain to get rid of Trump.

Well it would piss Texas off royally, so that's an upside. Bet he'll focus his closures on California.

I hope frustration that he can't just put up a No Vacancy sign drives him to stupid actions that increasingly turn border states against him. This besieged attitude is taking a toll.

I'd just as soon the Democrats behaved as adults. This taunting does nothing to support the claim that the committee has legitimate reasons for demanding the returns. AOC's dumbass tweet adds evidence to the claim that it's petty partisanship at heart.

I disagree firmly there. I'd call that a pretty good summary of relevant facts for that matter, quite honestly. But then, I don't consider ridiculing idiocy with simple fact to necessarily be taunting, either. Nor do I consider it to be wrong to do in the first place, even by people of importance.

Of course, I'm also not a particular fan of face being used to shield people from being corrected.

I think what the Democrats are doing with the Border is TREASONOUS. Their Open Border mindset is putting our Country at risk. Will not let this happen!

Too bad that the European Union is being so tough on the United Kingdom and Brexit. The E.U. is likewise a brutal trading partner with the United States, which will change. Sometimes in life you have to let people breathe before it all comes back to bite you!

What the HELL does that last sentence even mean?
 
It's like when Trump told Policemen to bang the heads of those arrested when putting them in the back of the car.

Is there anyone claiming that this isn't Conduct Unbecoming of a President?

BIG: Barr says he's forming a team to review the origins of the Trump-Russia probe because: "I think spying did occur." He said "spying on a political campaign is a big deal"

These comments directly contradict what DOJ previously told us. I’ve asked DOJ to brief us immediately. In the meantime, the AG still owes us the full Mueller report. #ReleaseTheReport

Barr now clarifies, says by "spying" he means "unauthorized surveillance." That implies he's not talking about FISA warrants, which = court-authorized surveillance.

Okay, it just occurred to me: with Trump's binary-level of understanding of literally every issue, does he actually think that an "open border mindset" is literally just the exact opposite of his "closed border mindset"? That is, if you're not for closing the border completely, you're for "open borders"? That is, he doesn't understand what the term "open borders" actually means in practice?

Yeah, how dare they treat the UK the way he treats Canada? Those Bastards!
