The New Coffee Room

So is he just trying to get back in Trump’s good graces or are they planning some mischief for midterms and need a cover story?

It’s amazing that the person who took the video managed to do so without dropping the camera and shitting his pants.

And more threats from Iran too

Yeah I don’t think I would have said ‘that’s a Nazi symbol’ if I saw it at a tattoo shop. Though it’s immediately believable if someone points it out.

About 20 years ago he got a tattoo resembling a totenkopf in Croatia with his Marine buddies when on leave. He claims, plausibly in my mind, to not have known the meaning at the time. Various ex-marines that were there about that time seem to confirm that they just thought it was a badass symbol for a marine in his 20s to have as a tattoo.

He claims, far less plausibly, to never have learned its true meaning until last year when he was already running and it became a story. He then had it removed or covered. I think the more likely scenario is he learned the meaning sometime in the interim. I think there’s evidence to that effect.

Is there something weird about his face or is that just the lighting?

Had never heard this quote. On my coaster at brunch here in Palm Beach.

And @brenda

"Hormuz is closed anyway. Also, closing Hormuz is good for us. And if they don't open Hormuz, I will end them!"

One makes allegations. One provides evidence.

Don’t the Chinese phones use android? Or do they have a competing OS I haven’t heard of?

“Provided allegations”. Curious word choice.

The Ravel one was the best. Half of the ring tones o didn’t even recognize. Must be android.
