"President Trump continued to describe Portland as a city on fire Friday even as residents enjoyed the first fall rain and the lone demonstrator at the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building was dressed as a pink Care Bear."

Sometimes there is a good sentence or two in the NYT.

Mr. Secretary, the president is on the phone. He sounds very angry and he keeps calling you Lil Marco.

If you want to be upset with Trump and Qatar, be upset that Trump unilaterally extended the same level of military assistance to Qatar that we have with our NATO allies. That members of the Qatari air force will train to use jets they are buying from the US at a US base in Idaho isn't a big deal.

Let's say you've got Trump's ear and you're tired of pumping him full of Portland is burning, antifa, antifa, blah, blah... Instead you want to short some stocks and make a lot of money. What do you convince the demented geezer to do?

"the ‘Magnets’ and, other Elements that they have quietly amassed into somewhat of a Monopoly position, a rather sinister and hostile move, to say the least."

While China is building their raw earth infrastructure, Trump is busy keeping the coal industry alive.

Wouldn't it be a change for the better?

It's not the fact that Qataris will be training to use and maintain US equipment at a US base in Idaho. We have military personnel from all over the world training at US facilities. What is bizarre is Trump and Hegseth making such a big deal out of a common practice.

Trump and Hegseth give Qatar an airbase in Idaho and Qatari pilots will be flying jets over American airspace. Their lavish gifts and personal business deals with Trump worth billions really paid off for them.

The US has forces stationed at the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. Why don't we just bring our folks back and let the Qataris have more room at their own base? This is the dumbest shit I've ever seen.

You can draw a line from Trump's evidence-free claims about the need for troops in Portland to top Republicans insisting today that the upcoming "No Kings" rally is the work of antifa agitators. www.pbump.net/o/the-presid...

The president’s pretend enemy

There is no crisis of unrest in Portland, Oregon. One way I know this to be true is that President Trump — who is insistent that Portland faces just such a crisis — doesn't offer any evidence of it. A...
