As soon as he hears about the response and fact checks …

His glow will vanish and it will be back to twitterville —

He is going to Mar-a-Lago this weekend. I heard it reported on this morning. I believe that’s 4 times in 6 or 7 weekends since taking office. That’s also another $3+ million dollars of taxpayer money for his trips to his profit-making law-breaking emoluments from his resort home. Not to mention the $300,000 we already pay weekly to cover his wife and son when he’s not in NYC as they want to live apart…Add that to the SS that we’re paying for wherever and whenever his children go galavanting around or leave the country to conduct their private business on our dime. Makes me sick how he’s costing us a fortune. Consider how much this will cost in a year from now.

But I’m betting you remember where they were.

Donny can’t remember what foot they were on.

Mr. Left Coaster and I were horrified at this craven and cruel exploitation of this woman. It was all political and yet Mark Shields was the only commentator on PBS who was disturbed. Bannon and Trump are monsters.

However I wanna know who sat in that meeting and heard/read that report that was prepared by the Pentagon. It wouldn’t surprise me, if Pence gave up little or no opposition for that raid. However if Trump was totally surrounded by ‘Trump men’ and no one gave him any advice about not going all ‘gung ho’ about a risky mission (and that bit with him reportedly not being in the WH situation room is priceless), then his advisors didn’t do him any favors.

I don’t know about you, but if he actually did and Josh (or any other pundit) caught word of its installation…their responses would be awesome.

Crass, crude and cruel to use Owen’s widow like this. So difficult to watch her pain while 45 continued grinning smugly.

The question is at what point do we stop saying:

"he was a hero who died protecting us all",

and say it as it is:

"he was a professional who choose a career of violence and died along with other 30 human beings mostly innocent women an children for no good reason "

we can guess and probably be pretty accurate to who was in that meeting. The thought process with this crew was for a win, see I was right thing. Change the narrative .It didn’t matter if there was any opposition to this raid. They were going for the photo op, the victory. Hell trumpity even turn a failed raid and the death of one of ours into his self made victory right in front of the whole world. Then used the fallens wife to double down on it.

Semper Fi

though I did, there should have been some caution in how to make that raid work.

Save some of your prayer for the at least 10 women and children all innocent that were killed in the raid.

Here is the difference:
Obama went after Bin laden with the best of the best from his office, the pentagon, the Seals and with every person necessary to fill every void, every idea of what could possibly go wrong against every reason for the mission to be successful. Took time to think it through and then made his decision. We know how that worked out.

Trump did the opposite. He listened to a few generals and I doubt the people around him went for it.

This operation was probably green-lighted from the now fired Lt. Gen. Flynn. How comforting can that be?

My husband had cervical bone spurs and had surgery for those year before last. The surgery at least made the constant pain go away but he still has not regained all the feeling in his left hand. Last year he had surgery for bone spurs on several of his lumbar vertebrae. That went well, thank goodness, and he is now able to walk the dogs and do household chores without being in agony. He never complained but I knew he was in a world of hurt before the surgery.
I hope you are able to get relief.
