President* Trump, Might the revelation that Vladimir was (is?) paying Taliban fighters bounties to kill US soldiers be what finally prods a whole bunch of your base awake from their stupefied slumber? Even if you maintain your weaselly stance that your intelligence people didn’t brief you, will your flag-loving peeps, the ones who insisted that … Continue reading Bounties and accountability

President* Trump, How about it?

I’m over it … Continue reading Righteous eventualities
