I’m in the Oval Office. Democrats, come back from vacation now and give us the votes necessary for Border Security, including the Wall. You voted yes in 2006 and 2013. One more yes, but with me in office, I’ll get it built, and Fast!

It’s incredible how Democrats can all use their ridiculous sound bite and say that a Wall doesn’t work. It does, and properly built, almost 100%! They say it’s old technology - but so is the wheel. They now say it is immoral- but it is far more immoral for people to be dying!

Vince has probably still got her drugged up to the gills. At the end of the trump presidency she’ll finally stand up out of her chair and kick him right in the plums.

How much of Trump Presidency you could explain away by thinking Trump still thinks he's doing a WWE storyline is scary.

Admit it, it's a great heel turn.

Only one adult in this official White House photo has not been the recipient of a stone cold stunner. Your explanation is pretty plausible.

That's a pretty funny site. One article talked about Mommy (Trump) and Daddy (Mattis) getting a divorce, and the kids wanted to stay with Daddy.

...I campaigned on getting out of Syria and other places. Now when I start getting out the Fake News Media, or some failed Generals who were unable to do the job before I arrived, like to complain about me & my tactics, which are working. Just doing what I said I was going to do!

....Except the results are FAR BETTER than I ever said they were going to be! I campaigned against the NEVER ENDING WARS, remember!

Trump seems to be systematically turning the military against him. He's proud that 55 percent approve of what he's doing? I don't know if that poll was taken before or after Mattis left - if before, there's a good chance it's now less than half. If I were military, I'd be offended by some draft dodger crowing about how well he knows war.

I wonder why he doesn't bring troops back from Iraq. Who the heck are they "training"? Shouldn't the Iraqis be able to handle it alone from here?

Heads of countries are calling wanting to know why Senator Schumer is not approving their otherwise approved Ambassadors!? Likewise in Government lawyers and others are being delayed at a record pace! 360 great and hardworking people are waiting for approval from....
...Senator Schumer, more than a year longer than any other Administration in history. These are people who have been approved by committees and all others, yet Schumer continues to hold them back from serving their Country! Very Unfair!

Who is educating him on how government works??

The ambassadors are nominated by the President and confirmed by the United States Senate. The GOP have the Senate - Trump only recently claimed a "great victory" there in the midterms. So there is nothing stopping any of ambassadorial appointments going ahead, including Schumer. Except for one thing - Trump has personally failed to nominate anyone. That is, he hasn't bothered to do the job he was elected to do, and is now trying to blame somebody else. That, or he really does not know what his elected job is and how to do it.

There are PLENTY of highly knowledgeable folk about the White House and the Capital who can educate Trump on these subjects, should he be an actual complete know-nothing about anything. So I can only assume from this tweet that Trump is bone-idle lazy and utterly ignorant and determined to remain so.

Define "scandal free"

WWE is not a company particularly well known for its compassion, or social awareness, or being nice in any way. This was once again proved on last night’s Raw, when the promotion – via Stephanie McMahon – seemingly took the opportunity to mock the death of New York Times journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Khashoggi was murdered and dismembered at the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul in early October, and it was this murder that caused so much doubt as to whether WWE’s Crown Jewel show would be going ahead, given that it was taking place in Saudi Arabia.

From what we understand, Vince McMahon never considered cancelling or even postponing the show, and Stephanie’s remarks on last night’s Raw are a real indication of just how little the company cares.



Reacting to Braun Strowman saying he would not be held responsible for what he does to Corbin at TLC, Stephanie McMahon said, and I quote:

“Dismemberment is kind of a corporate liability.”

I had assumed that Trump kept repeating the same dumb mistakes (e.g. about how things like tariffs work) either because everyone he'd surrounded himself with was just as ignorant as him or because they didn't dare correct him, but according to Bob Woodward's book neither is the case. People try to explain things to him all the time, and he'll nod and appear to be listening, but will then carry on as if nothing had been said. He appears to have a fact-repelling forcefield around his brain.
