Sherlock Holmes admired Moriarity for his genius.

Well, if the reports are accurate

"The first casualty in war the truth." --- unknown

Believe nothing your eyes did not see or your ears did not hear. ---- jpsb ;)

Looks like PDJT forgot (as I have many times) to put the much needed “/S” after his comment.

[Lee'sGhost]

Yes. FOAD. Or...ESAD.

[joshua c]

when the LEFT gives you advice do the opposite

why would we dump the one man who fights for us?

[joshua c]

didnt Patton say, “Rommel, you magnificent bastard i read your book”?

[taxcontrol]

Sigh, it was not praise. It was recognition of reality.

[Iron Munro]

Compared to Biden Putin is a rocket scientist.

[Gaffer]

Stupid Brit Journalist. STFU

[joshua c]

and everyone has a butt

but some are better than others

[Lee'sGhost]

What he said wasn’t “good” or “bad.” It was a simple statement of fact. Turning political jingoism around and adopting it to justify your actions was brilliant. That’s what Putin did. To not agree is to believe that Putin is a moron who has somehow controlled Russia for...what...30 years now?

[jpsb]

Washington was a wise man (and a great general)

[PJ-Comix]

Hey Sarah! WHO wanted to NIX the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from Russia?

“Ah, shut up.” —President Ronald Reagan

[Robert DeLong]

that why I had included:

, and that is a big if,

to to the partial portion of my sentence what you pasted.

I finished off the sentence with:

then Putin may not be that smart after all.

Kind of hard to believe the lying press on any given topic, as they spout propaganda more than they, if ever, spout truth. 🙂

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

Indeed. The whole speech, as with some from Eisenhower, another wise man and general, should be required reading in schools.

[fortes fortuna juvat]

Putin is an enemy of the global empire that controls DC, and so am I. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

That statement and those preceding it are exactly how I view the those issues. Thanks for them.

[clintonh8r]

Democrats want us to do their job for them. Eff off.

[Buttons12]

They’re all about peace, love, justice, tolerance, openness, and the brotherhood of man; but when you’re not one of them, they’re a supercolony of fire ants.

The goal of both major political Parties along with the splinter groups is the total and complete destruction of the Government of the United States of America. Then one Political Party will emerge and rule. And the population will be totally dependent upon them. Their goal is Hitler type control of the people. Where he controlled what the people did, thought, and said. Hitler never quite achieved this. Though he tried. But these People will for a number of reasons: 1.) The population are being conditioned to depend more and more on a Government Program, rather than their own initiative to achieve their needs. 2.) The People act more on their emotions and feelings rather than looking at facts and reasoning issues through.
