“The president will use whatever language he wants to use, obviously. That’s been of great reassurance to our allies, partners and others in the region…"
Really, Herb? Name one, a sane one.
Is he taking Uday and Qusay with him to The Philippines to, you know, hunt the “ultimate game” with Duterte?
Not nearly lengthy enough, IMHO…
How about 12 years instead of 12 days?
Maybe while he’s out of town we can all just quietly agree to replace him.
How about until the 12th of Never?
I have no doubt he’ll f*ck everthing up!
Can I get some of the shit McMaster is smoking? Point to one ally that’s feeling “great reassurance” from So-Called Prez Racist J. Chaos’ “whatever language.” Or maybe he’s counting Putin as one of our “partners.”
ETA: Damn, @tiowally beat me to it.
“Ummm, no, Mr. President, La Choy and Kikkoman are not the capitals of China and Japan.”
And I see the new media SCANDAL!!!, after the Donna Brazile nothing burger, is that an L.A. Times reporter had to apologize for insulting future Nobel Prize for Literature winner Sarah Huckabee Sanders, since we all remember how many times that the RW media was forced to apologize for disparaging remarks about the Clintons and the Obamas.
If I was the L.A. Times reporter, I would have said,
“I am deeply sorry that I referred to White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee as a ‘slightly chunky soccer mom’. The term I meant to use was ‘lying motherfucking phony Christian asshole’. My humblest apologies to anyone who may have been offended.”
I hope they booked him a hotel room this time. Would be awful if he has to stay at a capsule hotel.
He won Beijing’s support for the toughest international sanctions yet on North Korea. Tensions in the disputed South China Sea that escalated as China conducted a massive land-reclamation effort on Obama’s watch have ebbed. Long-standing U.S. alliances with Thailand and the Philippines have been repaired by engaging their authoritarian leaders and sidelining human rights concerns, though the White House suggested Trump may chide Duterte privately.
“How much does it help to yell about these problems?” McMaster said.
Great question. How much has it helped yelling at North Korea?
No doubt getting a room Obama previously used, so he can defile the bed again, was a priority.
I understand the International Arrivals area of the Moscow Airport is lovely this time of year.
(Edward Snowden highly recommends it.)
Donald could call it “The Eastern White House” for the rest of his days on this earth.
I’ll even pitch in for his tab at the Taco Hut next to the duty-free liquor shop.
Generally, wide loads are not accepted at capsule hotels…
Yeah, I can just see Trump and his coterie “chiding” Duterte privately. I believe the writer meant to use the word “chortling”.
Hoping Duterte will throw Trump out of a helicopter.
I hope Duterte crushes his little hand
That’s as much of an oxymoron as “honest republican”
I am sure all of the major hotel chains in Asia, in anticipation of The Fucking Moron’s Maniacal Misery Tour, have stocked up on plenty of rubber sheets.
Oh, and did everyone see how President Piss Queen was greeted in Hawaii? Lovely!
Or “a bit racist”, which is the same as saying “slightly pregnant”.
