Trump wants to expand NATO into Middle East, suggests name "NATOME" ('NATO plus ME'), because he's 'good with names':

Sounds like a bad operating system.

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.

"Join the Army and Work as a Mercenary in Support of the Saudi Monarchy!" is a hell of a recruitment poster slogan.

I wonder who's bank account the money was deposited.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yeah that's a big mistery right there.

More Trump allies are openly mocking him. :(

QuotePutin and Assad caught on video mocking Trump

Vladimir Putin and Bashar al-Assad have been caught on video mocking Donald Trump.

At a recent summit in Damascus the leaders were filmed discussing the US president and using a biblical reference to joke about his personality.

During a visit to a Greek Orthodox church the pair discussed the biblical story of Saul's conversion to Christianity on the road to Damascus.

God is said to have struck Saul, a Pharisee who persecuted Christians, blind, before the future apostle was cured and converted to the new faith.

In the video, posted to Twitter by a Russian journalist, Mr Assad is heard to say: "If Trump also travelled on this road, it would fix him."
The leaders are both seen to laugh at the quip.

Mr Putin then urges his host to extend an invitation to the US president, adding: "He'll come."

"I'm ready," says Mr Assad, to which Mr Putin replies: "I'll tell him".

The Russian president visited Syria for a surprise summit last week to discuss the military situation there, the Kremlin said.

Moscow is the Assad regime's strongest backer in the Syrian civil war and the campaign against Isis.

QuoteBut I'm also approving new dishwashers that give you more water, so you can actually wash and rinse your dishes without having to do it 10 times — four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. [Here he mimes pressing a button over and over as the crowd's cheers grow louder.]

Anybody have a new dishwasher? I'm sorry for that. I'm sorry for that. It's worthless! They give you so little water. You ever see it? Air comes out, so little water. So what happens? You end up using it 10 times, and the plates, then you take them out and do them the old-fashioned way, right? But what do you do? You're spending 10 times for the electricity, right? So I'm putting the water back. Most places have so much water they don't know what the hell to do with it. A lot of people don't realize that.

So dishwashers, now, you're going to have just as much as you've ever had, and you're going to use now one shot, your dishes are going to be beautiful.

I doubt he's ever washed a dish in his life.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

What the hell is he talking about?

I have a new dishwasher and it works quite a bit better, quieter, and more cheaply than the one my mother had when I was growing up.

As usual, these people are divorced from reality and just lap up whatever he shits out.
