Braggadocio is often an accompaniment to incompetence, as actions speak louder than words.

Good morning, all. Thanks to xsmommy, who was kind enough to take my Wednesday class while I was hanging out with Mickey, Donald, Goofy, et al. I am taking her Monday class in return.

Mattie Ross: I know you can drink whiskey and snore and spit and wallow in filth and bemoan your station. The rest has been braggadocio.

Braggadocio for treason is Baraq Hussein Obama
lying to the American public claiming
"al Qaeda has been decimated"
while terror, rape, crucifixions, beheadings,
followed from Boston to Cairo, from Benghazi to Damascus,
and while treasonous DNC/Obama Weapons transfer of MANPADs, SAMs,
and sarin poison gas to al Qaeda followed while the
borders to the USA have been left wide open for Obama's "friends".

I, too, am finding Mr. O’Reilly insufferably pompous.

That was on This mornings news.

It appears Hillary!ous wants to haver her liquor back in her hotel rooms.

Simple fact is, Huma married Weiner to cover up her ties to the Brotherhood. This isnt an ultimatum, its them giving her the out.
