"Ah but the strawberries...that's where I had them! I could prove through geometric logic that a duplicate key to the ward room did exist! And I'd have produced that key..."

'President Donald Trump on Friday they hadn't been stuck on board "nearly long enough."'

Because he thinks that the sailors are Muslims. From Blue States. Fans of wind energy,

Something.

Not since a venerated ancestor fled a European military draft, establishing himself as a Klondike cathouse operator during the Alaskan gold rush, has a Trump served in the American armed forces.

His war? Not his problem.
The troops? Props.

For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot ...

The 24-hour news cycle, a timeless headline:

"Suffering a mental health crisis, President Donald Trump bleated an insulting lie from his mindless piehole."

Donald Trump has no capacity to feel the circumstances or needs of other people. Other people are less than furniture to him, which makes it fascinating that some want to write him into Christianity as a Chosen One.

As a man without empathy, Trump is a dangerous cripple. Look at what Putin does with his own people. Two million Russian casualties? Does anyone want to tell me that Putin loses any sleep over this?

And if it were two million Americans, neither would Trump.

I know my sentiments will put some O.D. boxers in a bunch... I do worry about all the squids stuck in this mess... the ---------- in charge... that got them there... Mostly... I fear for the safety of the women serving with men... losing their marbles... trapped on that steel island... with damaged men.

Losers and suckers. Those sailors should have gotten some bone spurs and they wouldn't be in the situation.
