It seems like a New York thing, from Italian I guess?

Well he used the term “like a dog” when describing the death of al-Baghdadi, so it was on his mind. And he has a highly-limited mind.

True, but calling someone a dog is pretty heavy, although in English not as much as it used to be. But Trump’s neo-Nazi base would know about the older-strength meaning.

I had a classmate once quit a class because she (mistakenly) thought another called her a dog.

I have never seen a president treated like this before. It makes me sick in my stomach that we are living through this presidency and that this is how we truly feel about him. Please impeach the fuck out of this loser.

We’ve never had a sick fuck like the current POTUS as POTUS before, that’s why.

Although Truman got blasted quite a bit during the McCarthy and MacArthur crapshows. He and Dean Acheson got their effigies burnt a lot.

And he just loves UFC, too! I just Googled it - so fuckin’ funny that other news outlets put “booed” first, but Fox says he got “cheered (and booed)”. What TOTAL jerknoses!

CNN has it like this: “Trump met with loud boos, some cheers at UFC fight in New York”

“Every year, as the fire’s (sic) rage & California burns, it is the same thing-and then he comes to the Federal Government for $$$ help. No more. Get your act together Governor,” Mr Trump wrote on Twitter.

Mr Newsom, who has been highly critical of Mr Trump’s environmental policies, responded: “You don’t believe in climate change. You are excused from this conversation.”

Allegedly, Turkish Intelligence has tapes of Kushner and bin Salman, and used those tapes to gain concessions from Trump over Syria.
