The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Harm to Ongoing Matter - Page 147 - Politics and Economics

Have I missed it or has trump not yet offered condolences, thoughts or prayers for the dead soldiers in Syria?

Edit: he did it a few hours ago at a pentagon address on missile defense strategy

The address block on that letter is very strange.

Really long lines in address blocks always feel a bit weird. Would definitely have gone with just leaving out 'of Representatives' over... that. Or just leave it, obviously.

Apparently Congress members were already on the bus that was to take them to Andrews Air Force base. Lol.

The "proper" answer is just to indent the long thing, but the mystery just deepens from there. One oddity is that the line break falls differently from where it normally would (i.e., "House" would naturally go on the first line since there's plenty of room for it). Also, there's no institutional affiliation, or even an address. One bizarre but hilarious interpretation is that the address is intended to be parsed as The Honorable Nancy Pelosi (name), Speaker of the (title), House of Representatives (organization, I guess no street address needed since famous), Washington, DC (city/state).

That begins to make a twisted kind of sense, actually. Especially if 'Speaker of the' was meant to have 'House' as well, but whoever it was messed up the way people do sometimes with repeating words.

Trump just ****ed with the person in charge of all his funding. I hope he really loves those hamberders! What a dumbass.

Looks like former LA Senator David Vitter is now a registered foreign agent for, wait for it, Russia! His wife is a current Trump nominee for the US District Court in New Orleans. Fun!

This is delicious:

Rudy Giuliani, an attorney for Trump, told the paper that the allegation that Cohen received more money than what he paid to Gauger shows he's a "thief."

Rudy is going to end up like that one poker player who became a meme for randomly tagging along and showing up in odd places to the extent of being kind of creepy. I forget his name. I want to say John something.

Am no longer amused by Trumps idiotic letters, but remain in absolute awe of his terrible signature.

Everyone insta framing it as Pelosi is getting at Trump even though she didn't technically say no yet caused this retaliation.

Bonus points that it was partially for NATO, which Trump and Russia want eliminated entirely.

Super low info Trumpfan on my FB feed who doesn't post much is super-pumped about Trump shoving Pelosi's nose in it.

That Giuliani is given credit for ever having been above board in his life is making me angrier all the time. Crushed the mafia, lol...the guy is making these arguments in defense of real-life ****ing treason.

It is amazing how well that political propaganda works, and remarkable that it sticks for so long.
