As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!)....
ROTFLMAO!!!
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
“I wasn’t criticizing you or you post at all FWTW.
TIA.
“
LOL!
Don’t tell me that the ones that think our President’s comments are over the top wouldn’t just love to express themselves with such freedom.
We have long been overdue for a president that was honest. Name the last president that was honest !
I thank the Lord every day for our President —and I sure mean it !!!
Oops should have been
FWIW
For what it is worth.
Do you know what UFG stands for or is it just a joke?
“Do you know what UFG stands for or is it just a joke?”
The consensus on the intertubes say “Up For Grabs”
BTW (By the way) I despise acronyms. FWIW (For What It’s Worth) :)
One of my pet peeves, and has been for years, is people who put up abbreviations and assume we all know what they mean.
Now pause a moment and let me explain more.
I understand this is the Internet, a mostly verbal medium, a prone to abbreviations. FWIW is a common phrase. LOL is also.
But PKK? Look up thread, a commenter used it and I must suppose he or she assumed we knew what it means.
From now on, when somebody uses an abbreviation that is not commonly used I am going to respond with my own made up abbreviation.
Which is what I did. UFG is my made up abbreviation.
Because why not make up my own abbreviation? I know as much what PKK means as I do UFG.
I don’t want to be nasty or cause a fight. But darn I wish people would stand back and read their often very informative and likeable posts and consider some dummy like myself reading it.
I still do not know what PKK stands for.
So I made up my own abbreviation. I don’t know anymore what PKK means so I will use my own.
So it’s kind of a joke but thanks for your input Syncro.
I know most often-used abbreviations on posts. I am a frequent online writer. But sometimes we go overboard.
My UFG is a reminder of that.
I would not even talk to a neighbor I don’t like that way.
The Bushes, Clintons, and Obama would've been much more statesmanlike in their online statements. They also would have pushed us into war against Turkey.
I'll take the tweets, thanks.
The shepard smith show showed the part of the tweet that is excerpted in this thread, but the continuation of it he only showed for a second or so, not long enough for the audience to read it. They don't want people to see the second part because it pulls it all together
Here is the rest of the tweet:
They must, with Europe and others, watch over... ....the captured ISIS fighters and families. The U.S. has done far more than anyone could have ever expected, including the capture of 100% of the ISIS Caliphate. It is time now for others in the region, some of great wealth, to protect their own territory. THE USA IS GREAT!It will be interesting to see his follow through.
And if the other Kurd allies help them. The Kurds are the Freedom Fighters in the region, a virtual David against the Goliath of Turkey and Iran et al.
Hehe, yes, but OZ is fictional, Trump is real.
Under 8 years of Obama household incomes rose $1,000. After only 3 years of Trump, $4,000. Plus an average of $2,000 tax reduction.
It ain't bragging if you can do it.
What, so we are responsible for dishonest reporting which constantly removes content to create a new context?
If it seems important I will look them up.
PKK, I don't know what it stands for, but I do know it is the abbreviation used for the Kurds.
Or at least the Kurds that Turkey et al consider terrorists.
UFG is a good one, really looks like it means something LOL!
In this case UFG = Used For Good...
Thanks for the reply!
Nope that was not the intent of my post.
I just wanted to get the whole message out.
Nothing wrong with your text in the body of thread.
Which by he way, thanks for posting it!
Heh.
My first made up word and it can really be an abbreviation!
Serious, you don’t know what PKK means?
DOES ANYBODY ELSE ON THIS THREAD KNOW WHAT IT MEANS?
Why put it in a post if nobody can read it or understand it?
One more point, thanks for putting up with me....it IS okay to use a made up abbreviation. But there is a technique.
Let’s say you are writing a post about the SYmbionese Libertion Army. I made that up let us assert. Now that is a very long phrase and if you plan to mention it a bit, write it out in full first, then put the temporary abbreviation right after in parenthesis.
Like this....
“It appears the Symbionese Libertion Army (SLA) is getting ready to attack. The SLA has been viewed practicing marksmanship.....”
And I still don’t know what PKK means.
Heh.
It’s all good baby!
Laz lives
IIRC it’s the abbreviation in Kurdish, for the Kurdish political party.
Not Presidential whatsoever - and sure to turn off a large number of (needed) voters who are going to think he’s finally gone off his rocker.
I voted for him and will again, but he really needs to start thinking before he tweets such incredibly boneheaded things (yes, this is boneheaded - even if meant in jest). He’s the President, for God’s sake and you don’t even THINK, let alone SAY, that you (apparently single-handedly given his reference to “I”) will “destroy” the economy of another country. Good grief!. The media and other political enemies are already ripping him to ribbons and have been for nearly 3 years now - he doesn’t need to give them even more gasoline to throw on the fire.
God help us with what’s sure to come on this one via Saturday Night Live, the late night talkshows, the media, etc, etc, etc. This is going to make a dent with a lot of voters beyond the cozy confines of FR where he can apparently do no wrong. He needs to get it together.
PS: before anyone flames me..just keeping it real. I’m a long time poster and registered Republican. But I expect our President to ACT Presidential also, and trying to excuse behavior like this by saying he’s just fighting doesn’t cut it when it’s this far over the line wacky.
They are trying hard to break him.
My kids usually say "I was just joking" when they realize they've slipped up.
Thank you.
We are supposed to know that?
All right , let me shut up. I don’t really want to be a pain.
-Did I tell you that I once shared a cigarette with Beau Biden’s, Joe’s other son, at the Delaware State Fair? Yes he’s dead no and I should respect the deceased. But he was Delaware’s AG and perfectly terrible at it. Good story here.
-I was a childhood friend of Nancy Pelosi?
-I was interviewed by Oprah Winfrey?
All true.
I’m just trying to change the subject but the Beau Biden story is real good.
I could tell you things about Nancy Pelosi.
The Oprah story is kind of boring but she once had a hit talk show in Baltimore and I went on to be interviewed.
Heh.
Moving on.
