I slowed it down. His feet were close to the bottom of his neck. Did you ever practice that? Not on Arnold...

Maybe in another 10 years I could whup him.
Not a bad publicity stunt if the guy was trained enough not to hurt you.

Bolton: "Better to war-war than to jaw-jaw."

Posted By Mel Maki

In the near future people will be more upset that any US President could think sending billions of dollars of cash to crazy rulers in Iran was good foreign policy.  Also, allowing millions of low skill people to "come on over" is not good for people trying to make a living in this country. Period. It does get the Dems more votes, however.

Trump junk? If you read it you believe it? You believe there are more than 15 million jobs that we won't do but they will? There were more than 15 million of us in CA doing the home building industry. Roofers, drywall, framers, concrete, electrical, it's a long list. Skilled guys were getting $20. Labor from south of the border cut those wages to $12. Why do you pretend that did not happen? It seems you didn't read your links. The people that Trump hires doesn't move my thinking much on this issue. I'll post more later.

Second, your nonsensical comment about low-skilled people somehow taking jobs away from Americans who don't want to do the kind of work many immigrants will do is just more of the same Trump junk talk you thrive on on a daily basis.
You can read the truth and facts about Trump's employment of undocumented workers here:

Did you look for a snopes that had the two words, billions and Iran? I said O sent billions in cash and did not connect it to the wall. He did fail to disclose secret side deals. Pompeo and Cotton found by accident at a meeting with IAEA that O sent secretly a plane with $400 million in cash on same day four hostages were released. Then two more with $1.3 billion cash. Secretly tried to help Iran use US banks to convert $5.7 billion in Iranian assets after promising to congress Iran would not get access to US financial system and then lied to Congress about that. Treas Sec Lew assured Senate Foreign Relations Committee that Iran would continue to be denied access and Iranian banks will be denied access. But O granted a special license authorizing conversion of Iranian assets worth billions of US dollars using US financial system including future deposits at Bank Muscat in Oman. 
I'm not surprised presidents go to great lengths to get around Congress but a lot of people think O was a lot different. He wasn't.

Find something wrong.

Your stuff is tantamount to what else I see on Fox. Hannity's insanity had Clinton as the head of the "Clinton crime family". Then, when that lost traction, it became Mueller as the head of the "Mueller crime family". TODAY, judge Jeanine, evidently taking her cue from Sean's shit, now reports Comey as the head of the "Comey crime family". So, anyone of any consequence who appears to be any sort of a potential threat to Trump is now the head of their own crime family! If it's not Hillary's emails, it's payoffs to Iran by Obama or the evil work of another deep state crime family conspiracy theory. Wake the ---- up!!!
Rod, Why do you think your link is more factual than mine?
Snopes is opinion.

The Kurds had some influence and Kurdish lives were saved, also. Not sure how much influence they had with Obama.

Pelosi, Schumer, Trump

Posted By Mel Maki

I am surprised that people think Pelosi is making sense. She seems more and more childish. CNN and MSNBC are weirdly praising her using the same language. Our politicians are off the rails.

He clearly has more presence of mind than she does. It is not close.
For the next few months it will be clear that Biden is slipping, also.
He might lose a few supporters every time he gives a speech. He won't make it past 90 days. Well, he might if they limit him to 4 or 5 appearances. The younger people will take over or they will lose.
