      Sometimes, re-reading a discussion such as this in the cold light of day teaches me a valuable lesson.

      In this particular case, the valuable lesson to be learned is not to post after attempting to make dry martini's for the first time.

      Sorry, everyone😊

        Drunk posting is a time honored tradition at TNCR. Next day regrets, not so much. πŸ˜†

          I think it is pretty obvious that he did not answer the question. The question was pretty simple: "What are your top priority items for a second term?" (But, he is talking like a politician. I would have been surprise if he (or any major candidate) would have answered differently.)

          Re: hiring of people. At some point, it become probable that the problem is not with the people he hired, but with the person that is doing the hiring.

          Have you ever applied that same thing to Obama?

          I didn't think so.

                  Frame it how you will, however your understandable shame and embarrassment at being so late for the first two World Wars in no way excuses your attempts to be quite so early for Number 3.

                  Actually thought that this was quite a brilliant retort.

                  Certainly after reading larsons take on Churchill.

                    Maybe I should drink martinis more often.

                    Then again, maybe not.

                              @Larry I would be happy too. I am not "marry" to one side. However, when someone bases their "reputation" on the fact that they only hire good people, and "trumpet" (no pun intended 5555) the fact that they are such a good judge of people, etc., they SHOULD be called out on it, whether or not it is Democrat, Republic, Communist, Fascist, etc etc

                              I do stand by my point that a number of high level respected people very close to teh President (does not matter if I agree with them or not - for example, i previously did not like Mr. Bolton and I still dont. I did not like Mr. Tillerson, and I still dont) who left/fired from the administration have had quite a bit of negative things to say about President Trump. At some point, as the English saying goes - if it walk like a duck, sound like a duck, etc etc

                              I do not remember the same number of high level people questioning the competency of President Obama. AGAIN, I WOULD SAY THE SAME THING IF THAT WERE THE CASE.

                                Trump is a much higher level person than Obama. It makes sense that fewer people are capable of meeting his expectations.

                                    Indeed, it was euphemistically stated now and then in a previous incarnation of this den of iniquity, that Obama was a mere "two bit thug". Trump, it seems, is something quite other.

                                        @Larry I would be happy too. I am not "marry" to one side. However, when someone bases their "reputation" on the fact that they only hire good people, and "trumpet" (no pun intended 5555) the fact that they are such a good judge of people, etc., they SHOULD be called out on it, whether or not it is Democrat, Republic, Communist, Fascist, etc etc

                                        I do stand by my point that a number of high level respected people very close to teh President (does not matter if I agree with them or not - for example, i previously did not like Mr. Bolton and I still dont. I did not like Mr. Tillerson, and I still dont) who left/fired from the administration have had quite a bit of negative things to say about President Trump. At some point, as the English saying goes - if it walk like a duck, sound like a duck, etc etc

                                          @Larry I would be happy too. I am not "marry" to one side. However, when someone bases their "reputation" on the fact that they only hire good people, and "trumpet" (no pun intended 5555) the fact that they are such a good judge of people, etc., they SHOULD be called out on it, whether or not it is Democrat, Republic, Communist, Fascist, etc etc

                                          I do stand by my point that a number of high level respected people very close to teh President (does not matter if I agree with them or not - for example, i previously did not like Mr. Bolton and I still dont. I did not like Mr. Tillerson, and I still dont) who left/fired from the administration have had quite a bit of negative things to say about President Trump. At some point, as the English saying goes - if it walk like a duck, sound like a duck, etc etc

                                          I do not remember the same number of high level people questioning the competency of President Obama. AGAIN, I WOULD SAY THE SAME THING IF THAT WERE THE CASE.

                                          @taiwan_girl said in Trump clarifies his platform:

                                          Then hold onto your hat, because if you base your view on what you say you do, you're going to have to change your opinion...

                                          It is well known and well documented that military leaders did not like Obama AT ALL. Many of them spoke out about it. In fact, Obama was detested by the majority of the military, from the top all the way down to the bottom.

                                          Here's the difference:
                                          generals spoke out against Obama. Obama then fired him and replaced him with a yes man. The news media was silent.
                                          Trump fires an Obama yes man, he speaks out against Trump. The press talks about it for months, adding all the negative spin they can to the story.
                                          Some people pay attention to what's happening. Some people form their opinions based on what they hear out of the news media.
