“What hole have you been hiding your head in?”

I think you intended this reply for another post. It makes no sense in relation to my reply about the idiots on “the five”

Difference is between what a civilian believes he knows about the situation, vs what a POTUS KNOWS about the situation.

I find it amusing and revealing that you armchair QBs never seem to discern that salient distinction.

Sorry, but I think your post is ridiculous. He is not a “joke.” He is deadly serious about protecting America.

"Seems to be a damn epidemic in this virulent strain of establishment kiss-ass crybabies, pearl-clutching concern trolls, and quisling armchair QBs on FR lately. Makes me nauseous!"

LOL! I should have waited to take those two Dulcolax tabs tonight. I'm getting diarrhea from reading their whining posts.

Did I just hear President Trump say he was going to allow the military to kill people and break things?

After his speech, I flipped around the drive-bys:

CNN: *You could tell, Mattis wrote that speech.*

MBSNBC: *You could tell, Kelly wrote that speech.*

Fox: *You could tell, Robert E Lee wrote that speech.*

I'm going to apply for a government grant to study if the bars and saloons in the vicinity of the above news outlets have had a notable uptick in business since January.

And I couldn't help being reminded...

Good times. 'Lil Kim is taking notice. BOOM!

hope they bomb the hell out of the poppy fields The Won was guarding.

And that would also help with his other goal of reducing the drug problem.

I missed the part where President Trump said “Please clap.”

Yes, they need to take a long one - back to their favorite Fantasy Island of DU ... Where all the little pearl-clutching concern trolls congregate for the latest in bash fashion.

Day by day it’s starting to be apparent we’ve been had.

"Speak for yourself. "We" haven't been had. President Trump is doing remarkable things."

"He is everything I voted for, and so many people still can't believe he won."

Totally agree. Given the horrible unremitting pressure President Trump is under, he's doing a fantastic job. Such a remarkable contrast with Obama. For those that are wavering about this Afghanistan decision, keep in mind he is a high IQ individual who has access to all the information a President is privy to, thought long and hard I'm sure, and made this decision. I salute him for making this obviously difficult decision. As someone alluded to, what would we do, given the same degree of information and actually standing behind the desk in the oval office. It has to be a totally different perspective. Talk about a serious and heavy burden.

President Trump isn't perfect but just take a look at a few things he's done since Jan 20:

I Thank God every day that God interceded in the second debate and President Trump was elected. . For those critical, just imagine what Hillary's speech would have been like tonight.

This isn't the sort of speech where he's supposed to be full of laughs, making jokes, etc.

You are both right; when I said sick, I meant he sounded a bit stuffy. :) I was thinking it was the microphone, perhaps.

And the rally will be a different story, you are right. Ths was a very serious topic.

Sorry my meaning didn't come across. :)

Notice how quickly ISIS collapsed after Trump became President?

He changed the rules of engagement so that our troops didn't have to get a notarized signed form in triplicate from some Pajama Boy in Hillary's State Department before shooting back.

You are both see-through, and desperate.

Russia Russia Russia didn't work, so you went for Racyisss Nazi, and that fell through; and now that the President is going on the offensive, you who hate America have nowhere to hide.

Yes, but Art, Ivanka and Jared!

Honestly, I was on the forum in the last couple of days and folks here are still convinced they are running the White House.

I’ve not seen so much energy wasted since the press tried to rehab Hillary’s image last year.

You just can’t fix stupid.

Hey, troll-boi.

Bannon got turned loose to open up a second front on the press and the GOP-e.

The wall was going to be this fall, it's *Congress* who held it up, and who despite lying through their foul teeth for many years of Obama, had neither plan nor intention of repeal.

We don't know how many Troops, but Trump plays to win: remember, the Rosie O'Donnell comment / insult of McCain / grab 'em by the p*ssy / and all the rest, he was never going to get the nomination, let alone elected.

You trolls are so obvious now.

Yes, that is exactly what the President is doing. “No more nation building, we’re here to kill terrorists.”

Did you actually think that opinion through?

Getting rid of a terrorist breeding ground, a place where Musloids are trained to attack Americans, American interests abroad, and America itself - is NOT putting America first?

Bannon is a lot more valuable on the outside. Trump knows it, as well as Bannon. Bannon was in WH to basically learn how the place operates. He got what he needed, and now he’ll be using that asset to beat down harder on Trump’s enemies. The gloves will be off. This is 4D Chess - Things are not what they appear. You need to take a chill pill.
