I don't understand it's popularity either. It's not bad, but there's like 30 Oasis songs I'd rank ahead of it.

Obama DID listen to the voices calling for withdrawal from the Middle East. He pulled all troops out of Iraq in 2011 ahead of his re-election campaign. Remember that?
That's how we got ISIS.

My favorite: you can deduct interest on vehicle loans, IF THE VEHICLE WAS MADE IN AMERICA.
That'll be so much fun to verify!

Are you sure that's real?

Remember a few years ago when conservatives were upset about Obama's "IRS scandal"? Turns out they don't object to politicizing the IRS as long as it targets people and institutions they don't like. Who knew?

I also abandoned my plans to open a slave labor diamond mine in Ohio when the 50% tariffs on Lesotho were rolled back.

I was there for the midnight release of that one. Absolutely the greatest theater experience of my life. The fans were so into it. Unforgettable.

No. He entered his 2nd term resolved not to listen to the adults who in his 1st term stopped him from committing countless acts of stupid shit. Now he's going to do all the stupid shit. He's not trying to crash it. He believes tariffs are good policy. But the only ones who can stop him are yes men.

RIP, George. I've been making hamburgers the way you told me to for the last 20 years.

Agreed. Munich is a better analogy here.

8.4 million returns have been processed that haven't even been received yet. Very impressive work. I need to know their secret so I can just start e-filing tax returns that aren't even ready for prep yet.

The Gungan king will do anything you want - send his countrymen into battle as cannon fodder - as long as you abase yourself and tell him he's awesome. I thought this was stupid and unrealistic.
But I stand corrected.

Use all the power at your disposal to achieve this objective today.

I don't think they're the same.
The "perfect phone call" was about getting Zelensky to do a personal political favor for Trump by announcing an investigation of Biden. Basically, he was soliciting a bribe.
Trump seems to have foreign policy objectives this time.

They'd probably say it's the role of churches to be involved in that. The practical result would be that more people starve or die of disease. Churches don't have the resources of governments.
But they're more committed to their philosophy than to the ppl Jesus told us to care about in Matthew 25.

"I don't think it's the role of government to be involved in this" blah blah blah.

I pointed this out on FB. Several people from my church immediately jumped into the comments to explain why USAID had it coming.
Like, really? I don't understand. How do they not see?

There's recurring scene on The Simpsons when Moe becomes worried about police attention and tries to get rid of pandas or orcas he had been hiding in his bar quickly and quietly.
Your post sounds like it was written by Moe after becoming worried about unwanted gold from Fort Knox.

I listened to his radio show once. I recall being struck by one thing. The language he used to describe liberals reminded me of the radio shows that incited genocide in Hotel Rwanda.

If I had to guess? I think what killed his ego was getting indicted, tried, and convicted. Now he wants revenge on the "deep state." Musk is destroying the government, causing chaos, and I think he's pleased enough about it to let Musk take the spotlight.

My Trumpy friends still think his Zelensky phone call was perfect and that he did nothing wrong. It's like the parade of State Department witnesses at the impeachment hearings never happened.

A few did: Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, Jeff Flake, Justin Amash, Adam Kinzinger. But yeah, the cowards outnumbered them, and other cowards replaced them.

As predicted elsewhere, they found someone who was either enough of a fool or enough of a coward to file that motion.

Eric Adams is pro-Trump. Trump's letting him off in exchange for his political support.
For corrupt politicians, being pro-Trump is kind of a get-out-of-jail free card.
The DOJ officials know this and are quitting.
