Dear President Trump: Does this lack of interest mean you would return Venezuelan opposition leader Mara Corina Machado's Nobel Peace Prize medal?

To celebrate Pi Day, I'm going to have TWO pieces of pie to increase my circumference.

Once again, the old lesson: "Never get involved in a land war in Asia" is going to painfully school the US. Sure, the US (and other countries) will temporarily put a band-aid (tourniquet?) on the petroleum squeeze by tapping into their strategic petroleum reserves, but it's temporary and places the entire world economy at risk of completely imploding once those reserves are gone. The silver lining might (MIGHT!) be that this will accelerate the development/expansion of renewal alternative energy sources, but I suspect it'll prove to be too little too late. The US (yes, I know who is REALLY to blame but for now I'll stick to referring to collective blame over all the US) options are bleak. I fear the present administration will choose to do something (ANYTHING!) to avoid being shamefully ejected from power. President Trump has rarely (if EVER!) been involved in anything that could be described as the Art of the Deal. His negotiation tactics are more accurately referred to as Art of the Steal. President Trump is a bully both in personal and financial dealings. It was mostly "tolerable" as long as he was isolated in his own little enclave. However, the US electorate as seen fit to supply Mr. Trump with a large "box of matches". We, literally, have hoisted ourselves on our own petard.

I suspect President Trump is only doing this because he has verified that none of the Aliens are listed in the Epstein Files.

Just change their name to See BS

It's difficult to imagine how anyone would think that ALL voter fraud gets uncovered.

Here's some more false presumptions:
- ALL voter fraud individuals vote one way.
- ALL false voter REGISTRATIONS = illegal votes.
- ALL mail-in ballots = illegal votes (please explain that to the service personnel who vote by mail).

It seems the majority of folks who are convicted voter fraud are GOP supporters. Hmmmm....

"Interesting fact: the most common reason given by a convicted vote fraudster, when a reason was given, was I thought the other side was doing it.

I wonder where they got THAT idea.
Seems like one more example of the GOP accusing the other side of what they are already doing.

Graham Edge had an amazing way with words. His spoken words (soliloquys?) combined with Ray Thomas' flute really set the Moody Blues apart from other bands. Where are such artists these days?

Re: #14

Ironically, this post displayed the real point:

You were going to promote some silver lining' no matter what.

Wasn't the claimed purpose of ICE to round up the worst, violent criminals? Looks like it's succeeded. All that remains is to deport those ICE individuals. Mission Accomplished!

"Although I wonder what will come if it's proven the guy didnt have a weapon when he was shot, his weapon was taken away. They were all over this guy and only one weapon was found, then why did they shoot him?

And these questions arent "horrifying". The agent will just go to prison if it's found he shot the guy with no reason.

That likely would have happened in the America of a few years ago.
Now it's more likely that the worst that'll happen to this shooter is he'll be briefly detained before being pardoned by President Trump.

I'm well aware.
Every now/then I believe it's proper to point that fact out and not let it slide.

Out of bed yet?

Still waiting on your response for Chantresse #14 and #15.

Given President Trump's recent actions, it seems a more accurate name would be:

BORED OF PEACE

"Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?..."

The Shadow knows ...

"$1 BILLION per nation to stay on the Gaza "Peace Board" " with Trump controlling the money."

Classic example of sending the dog to the butcher shop.

Whatever you allow your government to do to others, they will eventually do to you.

"White House Communications Director Steven Cheung said earlier that, "A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage..."

What else would one expect from our current President.

"Defend their neighbors? Yes. That makes sense. Protect pedophiles, fraudsters, spouse abusers...

Didn't see anyone here defending President Trump.

"This would be the first Trump policy I agree with if they can pull it off. But a ban on buying new homes without forced divestment of the homes they already removed from the market would be a meaningless charade.

meaningless charade: an accurate assessment of the Trump Administration (both #1 and #2).

They stink on ICE.'

Cui bono.

Latin for follow the money'.

Apparently, the price of crude is unacceptably low, so the USA is doing something to decrease the supply in order to boost the crude oil price.
