Every day makes me fall in love with Trump more and more.   Hopefully in 2024 his son runs.   There really shouldn't be any other president in America that doesnt have the last name of Trump

So you’re an Imperialist now?

What's the difference from the ISIS leader assassination? How about Iraq and Afghanistan? How about Clinton going into Kosovo? Hillary and Obama did nothing in Benghazi and let americans die.   Trump is different.

Yes because those other leaders were respectable and then made mistakes they paid for, as where Trump is one giant walking mistake :p

 

Executing another country’s top general is a serious move. If you’ll remember, Bush was responsible for creating the Iraqi and Afghan Wars, and for creating the conditions necessary for ISIS to thrive. Clinton going into to Kosovo is one of the few times the Americans made a good foreign policy move. We did that on humanitarian grounds, and it proved to be necessary once the Serbian war crimes were revealed. Benghazi was a mistake. We created the conditions necessary for it. It’s this, fuck everyone attitude that many Americans, including Trump, have that continually gets us in trouble abroad.

You should really follow me on twitter.  I'm retweeting a lot of good stuff.  You might even learn something.   And go see what CNBC tweeted, can't really say that they are very much in favor of our g.o.a.t

Because they’re sane and you’re clearly not?

Yeah, I wouldn’t have called him the #1 Bad Guy... 

 

He’s done incredibly shity things, but he isn’t Putin, Whinne-the-Pooh, or the ayatollah. He’s certainly not Kadyrov, “Rocketman”, or the President of Turkmenistan who may or may not have a fetish for horses.

 

Do you not realize the implications of this?  Iran is a nuclear capable country. They are ruled by people willing to consistently shoot their own citizens. People who support terrorist groups like PMU, Hezbollah, and Hamas. I think this was a highly miscalculated move. What’s worse is the rumor. It’s already been rumored that Trump decided to do this in order to distract people from the impeachment process.

    • Have mercy, I can't last 18 days without sleep.  
    • This might be unpopular but it would allow way more sports and quotas and cities to host at a lower cost. 
    • I think Julia Tannheimer will continue to perform so well on the flatter courses in Ruhpolding and Antholz, which will suit her technique. Oberhof will be more exciting, the courses are very demanding, but quite comparable to the World Championships in Lenzerheide. That's why I'm really looking forward to Oberhof this season. Anyone who can cope well with the courses in Oberhof should also be able to run at the front at the World Championships.
    • My IF THE OLYMPICS WERE THIS CHRISTMAS predicted medal table   17-18-12---47 15-12-7---34 13-8-8---29 11-10-7---28 9-5-7---21 8-13-3---24 7-6-9---22 6-7-6---19 6-6-9---21 6-6-5---17 5-8-6---19 3-2-4---9 2-6-4---12 2-2-4---8 2-2-3---7 1-1-3---5 1-0-3---4 1-0-3---4 1-0-3---4 0-3-0---3 0-1-0---1 0-0-2---2 0-0-2---2 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1
    • Thanks for your predictions, they are very interesting.   But here it will be a different format. Combined events - pairs of athletes, one male/female will perform in downhill and other will perform in slalom. E.g. Team SUI 1 Odermatt plus Meillard.
    • Interesting (optimistic) predictions for GB. Don‘t See Them winning 5 golds (more than China and as many as Canada). I think 3 golds are more Realistic (Brookes + 2 in curling/skeleton). Especially gold for Bankes seems To be a rather optimistic prediction, given that Casta is 11 years younger and just beat Bankes.
    • Medal Table (Change from 2022)    - 20 (+4)  - 13 (+1)  - 13 (+5)  - 9 (+7)  - 9 (=)  - 7 (+2)  - 7 (=)  - 6 (-2)  - 6 (-1)  - 5 (+1)  - 5 (+4)  - 4 (+1)  - 4 (-5)  - 3 (+2)  - 2 (=)  - 1 (=)  - 1 (+1)      -5,  -2,  -2,  -2, , -1, , -1, , -1 fail to male the list   On 1st glance 1 feel I have underestimated Canada, Sweden and Finland, and overestimated GB (obviously) and Netherlands.    If the Russians aren't competing then the Norwegians will have a field day in cross country skiing, but it is too early to tell.   World cups and championships aren't always the best measure for some sports but it's the best I can find.      As an overall trend I feel this will be a strong games for the European nations (home advantage) but the Asian nations might struggle, not necessarily at the extent I predicted here but I don't think their results will be as good as Beijing.
