President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

RIP

 

I'm always surprised how much latitude law enforcement officers and/or departments have when it comes to what they can add to the uniform. Not a real fan of seeing the "Blue Lives Matter" flag on the uniform either - police have enough of an "us vs. them" reputation. I'm not saying their lives don't matter, they obviously do - but when the Blue Lives Matter thing started it was in response to outrage over police shootings of unarmed black people. Police want to wear it in their off hours? Fine.

 

Well, damn, HW always seemed like a decent guy.

RIP.

 

Bush's death also probably tanks any chance of the GOP to get anything done in the lame duck.

 

Donald doesn't read, so he'll most likely miss this

WASHINGTON—Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sent at least 11 messages to his closest adviser, who oversaw the team that killed journalist Jamal Khashoggi, in the hours before and after the journalist’s death in October, according to a highly classified CIA assessment.

The Saudi leader also in August 2017 had told associates that if his efforts to persuade Mr. Khashoggi to return to Saudi Arabia weren’t successful, “we could possibly lure him outside Saudi Arabia and make arrangements,” according to the assessment, a communication that it states “seems to foreshadow the Saudi operation launched against Khashoggi.”

Do these people think things through before they go with it?

Takes a lot to get me to side with Flake, but you gone and done it, Hugh.

 

LOL.

 

Yeah, Chichijima was not an island you wanted to be a POW at.

 

I presume GHW-41 left explicit instructions that Fatfuck (or any designee) was to be utterly banned from attending the funeral or any memorial service.
