Tweet just 13 min old from Trump

"Now the press is trying to sell the fact that I wanted a Moot stuffed with alligators and snakes, with an electrified fence and sharp spikes on top, at our Southern Border. I may be tough on Border Security, but not that tough. The press has gone Crazy. Fake News!"

Moot???????
Reminds me of Seinfeld Moops

More and more I'm hearing this
was all a plan to get Trump to
do a cover-up, to stonewall
the release of the transcript.
They were 100% convinced he
wouldn't release it it because
doing so hampers any president
from making future calls to heads
of state. But Trump releases it
anyway, letting all the air from
the Schitt Balloon. Pretty funny.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

This makes no sense. The content of the call transcript that Donny released is what finally led so many moderate Dems to back impeachment. Without the transcript, there would still likely be no impeachment inquiry.

I agree
whats funny
Trump hates answering questions
Reuters asked a fair question and Trump went full bore on speaking about his hate for the free press
He was pissed

Real good article in the Atlantic and timely considering Trumps withdraw in Syria and how even most republicans are now criticizing Trump

Top Military Officers Unload on Trump
The commander in chief is impulsive, disdains expertise, and gets his intelligence briefings from Fox News. What does this mean for those on the front lines?

:P

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?
