He realized that Trump wouldn't and couldn't shield him. Unsaid, he must have been scared by the coup that brought President Bannon and courtier Miller to power.<br /><br />The Muslim ban didn't fare well either. Four injunctions banning Trumps unconstitutional order and a loss at appeal are not what the trumpaloonies envisioned.<br /><br />His daughter and son in law have been cut out of the loop leaving no filter to protect Donnie and we hear that he doesn't have enough stamina to finish a phone call after 5 PM.<br /><br />We knew it would all go to shit, but we didn't expect it to happen so fast.rumleyfipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346146988416679423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-3486123296036638992017-02-05T04:18:07.999-08:002017-02-05T04:18:07.999-08:00Robert McNamara went to his grave proclaiming, &qu...Robert McNamara went to his grave proclaiming, "We didn't know our enemy."

When was the last time Congress declared war on any country? WWII? Besides, they won't stage a land invasion of Iran. Imagine if Trump united both Sunni and Shiite Muslims against America. He's already subverted America's influence among the Asia Pacific nations. Now he may let Russia move into the Middle East. A few batteries of S400s should go a long way to deterring any air attack on Iran.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-55334658359230997592017-02-04T18:13:44.514-08:002017-02-04T18:13:44.514-08:00FYI,
