does trump even know what moral courage means lol

Do you really think he wrote one word of this speech?

Do you really think his mind works in any way that would allow this speech to be written?

You can tell he HATES to read. This is how he would read bedtime stories to his kids, no doubt, if he ever did that.

You get the sense that teleprompter speeches are the longest things he's ever read in his entire life.

So is this all (sad) blaming or has he actually made his proposals yet?

Why did Obama not give a speech in Mubarak's Egypt about how awful Islam is to women and gays and funding terror.

(Also there was no renegotiation of the Status of Forces Agreement in Iraq because the Iraqis wanted our troops out. I guess we could have just said no and re-invaded!)

I'm prepared for about 3 hours of media saying that Trump gave a pretty good speech, then he does something at a rally tonight to derail the news cycle.

the funny thing is that if this was all he was doing the election would be a dead heat right now

He wished it could be as respectable and orthodox as spying. But somehow in his hands the traditional tools and attitudes were always employed toward mean ends: cloak for a laundry sack, dagger to peel potatoes, dossiers to fill up dead Sunday afternoons ...

I don't think that would be reinvasion, just occupation.

Obama ran the table on them in this area so they took the mole-hill that was "President doesn't really love constantly bringing up the religious aspect of terrorist attacks/is a nerd and uses exact terms" and somehow blew it up into "Obama literally founded ISIS".

I figured it had a lot to do with the precision of the president's statements vs. the republican's need to pain islam in broad strokes.
