For about two years now I have been using Trump's twitter eructions as a guide to what is NOT the truth inside his administration. Whatever he says, the opposite is very probably true.

The other side to consider is that he almost certainly does not personally research or write the tweets for his channel. We all know that it is a curated concoction of Fox & Friends plus Hannity and Ingraham (i.e. Murdoch swill), a bit of Breitbart, a pinch of Trump rants, and a whole bunch of heavily-researched and misquoted piffle from neo-Nazi and NRA micro-sites. In short, it's ranting *****. SO presidential I just cannot begin to believe...

I actually do think he "researches" his tweets, we know he spends literally hours every day watching television, that is his research.

The ones he doesn't research are those that quote other people as we know he does not read so I assume those are brought to his attention by a flunky.

The U.S. Embassy in Iraq is, & has been for hours, SAFE! Many of our great Warfighters, together with the most lethal military equipment in the world, was immediately rushed to the site. Thank you to the President & Prime Minister of Iraq for their rapid response upon request....



....Iran will be held fully responsible for lives lost, or damage incurred, at any of our facilities. They will pay a very BIG PRICE! This is not a Warning, it is a Threat. Happy New Year!

What on earth are "Warfighters"? Soldiers?

Thank you for that.

On the plus side, I received extensive firearms training over the course of nine months at the Police Academy in 1882. I think the effects of much of that training still linger after 35+ years.

Downside is that I just turned 70. I think my cognitive abilities are still pretty much intact, but certainly my reflexes, balance, strength and coordination are not what they once were. But I think knowing one’s limitations plays a parts when one decides on a course of action in a critical situation.

Anyway, little chance I’ll ever find myself in an active shooter scenario, and that I’ll be in a position to act if I am. Still, I find some comfort that that little 9mm in my pocket gives me options I would not otherwise have if I were unarmed. Including the option to seek cover and concealment and to do nothing. I’m also grateful that the two states I reside in - Georgia and Tennessee - and most of the surrounding states trust their citizens enough to allow concealed carry. I think it’s a trust that in the vast majority of cases is well founded.

The Anti-Benghazi!

Yup he sure is.

Clinton was grilled for hours by hostile Republican congress critters over Benghazi, didn't crack and was found innocent.

Trump won't let himself be interviewed at all (lest he perjur himself), actively interferes with investigations and is guilty of all sorts of corruption.

Very proud of President @realDonaldTrump acting decisively in the face of threats to our embassy in Baghdad.
He has put the world on notice - there will be no Benghazis on his watch.(1/4)
...

Just had a very good meeting with President @realDonaldTrump and his team regarding the situation in Iraq.
President Trump is determined to protect American personnel and expects our Iraqi partners to step up to the plate. No more Benghazis.

Last night the news was that Iraqi soldiers delayed coming. The embassy was overrun and the people inside did get away.

Sounds like someone gave Trumpy a fake news report so they wouldn't get yelled at. :p

Were you trained on muskets?

Doesn't sound like the Iraqi government is too enthusiastic about doing something to stop this.

It appears the Iraqi government aren't keen on the US attacking and killing Iraqis in Iraq without the consent of the Iraqi government. Especially of Iraqi militia forces that were important in defeating ISIS, and may still be needed to support the Iraqi government.
 
The difference in options available to respond in the green zone in Baghdad vs. a relative backwater port town in Libya seem relevant.

But who really wants to waste any breath on it, it won't be heard.

The government already owns a nice plot of land up in Manzanar, complete with buildings. Perfect spot with proven history. A simple executive order would open it right up. Combine it with workfare and make the lazy bums sweep it out and put on a fresh coat of paint.

Did they replace the old buildings? Last time I was there, there were no buildings. Basically, just a lot of desert and a memorial marker.
 
So Trump is now trying to re-ignite the failed "BENGHAZI!!" meme for the umpteenth time, while alternatively threatening and/or cajoling two Middle Eastern countries that he can't tell apart and couldn't find on a map if he tried. While claiming he didn't go golfing although there is plenty of video showing that he did. And his arse-lickers are encouraging him and fawning at his amazing magnificence, and cross-eyed gun-wavers tell him he is a great "warfighter"...

Honestly, this sounds incredibly like the plot of a 1950's Ealing comedy with Peter Sellers playing a mad king, rather than any modern 21st century nation.

Best equipment & finest military in the World. On site quickly!
 
Warfighters sounds like some 90's console video game.
Along with the sequel, Warfighters II: Devil Dogs.
