Actually they are just common sense.




Ah, but the problem is that common sense is not appreciated on PARD, didn't you know that.

Anyone who is crying about trump being president should run for president and try to do better.
Oh wait that will never happen because you spend all of your time complaining about things that aren't going your way.

someone once told President Trump to do that and he did B)

Except that they really aren't. Only one person gets to be president for 4 years. In reality, if you want to make a difference, get involved. Campaign for good people who represent good ideas. Write them checks to pay for that campaign. Put in the effort to get them elected. After they're elected, stay in contact with them to make sure they don't lose focus.

Its a transparent calculated move by her anyway. If it was an actual outburst even the party would turn on her, instead they went with a line vote over a bit of partisan grandstanding.
She chose her method carefully and will do the media tour on it, it doesn't matter if she was in plain violation of rules of decorum.

Now we can sit back and judge in coming days why the move and whether it was successful. Reasonably it can be a media spin to give positive coverage to dent the shellacking they are taking today and tomorrow, it might be a smoke screen to give them cover and delegitimize the proceedings when they can't filibuster sessions and will filibuster the supreme court nominee who's name I've already forgotten and won't even google out of shame and disinterest as I'm writing this

unclear as of yet what real impact this will have based on how many actual future missions were even being considered. still bad optics for our hold on the region and a nice little recruiting tool for ISIS when paired on videos with Trump's campaign promise to go after the families of terrorists.

“I can’t believe the attack they left off — I’m talking about the Bowling Green massacre,” Colbert says, referring to White House adviser Kellyanne Conway’s infamous reference to an attack that never occurred. (Conway later tweeted that she meant to say “Bowling Green terrorists,” but stands by her assertion that the 2011 arrest of those terrorists, two Iraqi al Qaeda terrorists living as refugees in Bowling Green, Ky., didn’t get enough media coverage.)

“I can’t believe it,” Colbert continued. “Just erased, erased from the official list even before it had a chance to happen. It’s not fair.”

Colbert went on to note that the White House list is “loaded with typos,” such as “attaker” and “Denmakr.”

Taking a swipe at another Trump confidant, he added, “At least we know Steve Bannon isn’t a grammar Nazi.”

Watch the clip above. The Late Show airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET on CBS.


white house memos filled with typos, what an age we live in. is he using notepad to draft these? or does he not have spell check turned on? :rofl:
