Blaming Obama once again for the Nuclear Deal.

The release of Iranian monies frozen since 1980.

Bragging about the SIZE of our power using words like BIG, POWERFUL.

Notice the monochromatic style if Trump's speaking....no emotion, robotic.

NOTHING was solved, no specifics given.

kicked back on the daybed while waiting for the bloviation to begin and I guess I snoozed off because when I awoke, it was over already!

I didn't really want to hear the bs anyway.

on Trump's part. Several slurred words and dilated pupils. That guy behind him on the right looks absolutely terrified.

Went for a 4 mile jog and got my pulse up to 120 bpm. Would have been 10 or 20 beats more if I sat there watched Don the Dim Wit.

So many lies. I hope everyone is telling anyone who doesn't already know about the coup that helped start the shitfest in the ME.

After enough time passes, the history of these misdeeds (i.e. atrocities) is eventually discussed in the news, taught in schools, etc.

Until then, it's up to parents to teach their kids, and up to kids, as they grow up, to share that knowledge.

right after tRump's supporting cast walked in? He was eyeballing the podium and microphone as if thinking:

"Someday that"ll be me standing there, under the lights, barking orders and guiding the worthy to their heavenly rewards, mother willing."
