Yeah, I'm saying I didn't foresee any of this happening.  Figured it'd be just another empty campaign promise.  But Trump is a different sort of politician. :sleep:

In the 50 years prior to Trump, presidents kept on average 67 percent of their promises.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I find it really annoying when politicians start thinking they and the people are synonymous.

Better?

Yeah. Louis was surprisingly restrained there :P

QuoteREPORTER: Mr President, on your push to decriminalize homosexuality, are you doing that? And why?

TRUMP: Say it?

REPORTER: Your push to decriminalize homosexuality across the world.

TRUMP: I don't know which report you're talking about. We have many reports. Anybody else?

Trump easily baffled, film at 11.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

HOLD THE DATE! We will be having one of the biggest gatherings in the history of Washington, D.C., on July 4th. It will be called "A Salute To America" and will be held at the Lincoln Memorial. Major fireworks display, entertainment and an address by your favorite President, me!

An insightful article that seeks to explain how a Republican like Graham adapts to a President like Trump.

The question I wish had been better explored though is Graham's ethical and policy boundaries he will not cross (if any) as he pursues his Realpolitik approach.

Except he didn't say that.  He said "one of the biggest".  He isn't even confident enough to pull his usual level of biggest and best bullshit.  The rest of the tweet is all typical 4th of July style things.
