wiffleball 4,649 Posted July 5, 2018  Despite the repeated explanations of why he should tamp down talk of military action, Trump persisted. He mentioned it in public and later to Colombias president. So when it came time to meet with the leaders of four allied nations in Latin America, his aides called on him to please avoid any mention of a military option for Venezuela. What were the presidents first words at the dinner? My staff told me not to say this  https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/07/trump-repeatedly-questioned-why-the-united-states-couldnt-simply-invade-venezuela.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SenatorRock 708 Posted July 5, 2018 Â I was watching the Bourdain marathon and couldn't change the channel in time so I caught the opening of CNN's news hour. Â Leading story: "Trump wants to invade Venezuela" Â Â Was going to start a thread mocking them. Apparently wiff is so focking stupid he thinks it is real and started one of his nightly hysteria threads. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SenatorRock 708 Posted July 5, 2018 And if you bother to click on wiff's Very Fake News link (slate) they say that "anonymous sources claim" and that this all happened LAST August. Â Â Focking lunacy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Â Focking lunacy. Actually, you can Google and click on any link you want. There's nothing fake about it. You can telk when something like this happens and even his staff is like wtf? and leak to the press to try to keep the guy in check. How many times have you seen that so far? Â The fact that he was told by his staff repeatedly and still ignored them is pretty damn troubling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted July 5, 2018 I would imagine that if we polled this place whether each person is completely cool sacrificing American lives for no reason or not, the majority of the Not vote would be liberals or centrists.
