What is their basis behind it? I mean other than “La La La La I can’t reconcile my stated beliefs with what is actually occurring La La La La.”

As much as I try to avoid it doing the comparison, imagine if Obama did half of this shit, particularly in the wake of BENGHAZI!!1! Does Fox News still hold that it’s normal for a boss to demand loyalty from an employee? Fuck. No.

Trump is the patron saint of huckster salesmen. Birds of a feather and all that.

I’m far from being an expert, but from what little I’ve read the charges seem to result from about three things. 1. Qatar has for the most part tried to remain neutral in the Saudi and Iranian struggle for regional dominance. Trump seems to have forgotten his stance on Saudi Arabia re: sponsoring terrorism, but I’m…

He can do both!

I heard he already announced his running mate, Padamir Vlutin

Just because I understand that there are other cultures and respect them, doesn’t mean I won’t defend my own (which is a mashup of other cultures to begin with). Though I don’t consider forcing my culture onto others to be defending it, which I’m guessing is the definition Carlson is going with.

Remember, Donald is only motivated by Donald. To try to read the tea leaves, I think he is trying to take credit for Saudi Arabia et al. doing what they just did. Donald spoke, and it was so.

Probably more like a car chasing dog. He caught a decent midsize with being elected, but a big, shiny, new semi with ‘pick a side in a religious conflict’ printed on the side just drove by and he’s got that look in his eye.

He’d get off on playing the victim. If I had a say it would be to ignore him. Bury it with logistical concerns and rescheduling and hair washing excuses. Get enough countries to give him the silent treatment so he can’t actually go anywhere while the news hammers him for essentially being blown off time and time…

Nope, just a can-do and/or a winning attitude. We’re getting rid of bootstraps cause they might get in the way of that.

Update (12:30 p.m. EST): In an email to Jezebel, a spokesperson for Rep. Higgins said, “Rep. Higgins is referring to terrorists. He’s advocating for hunting down and killing all of the terrorists. This is an idea all of America & Britain should be united behind.”

“I would leave my wife without a husband, my children without a daddy, rather than kneel to the very forces of evil that I have so long stood against,”

Yeah, but don’t forget, like, 3 or 4 Republican congressmen will call it concerning but want to withhold judgement until there’s more information, so there’s that. . .

They have hands, they can pray like everyone else.
