Must be running out of previously respected institutions to wreck in his own country.

It's not clear how the UAE/Israel deal will go, but it has potential to be a genuinely important moment, at least in the medium term. ... and don't forget that Obama got one for giving a speech, sounding all nice and such, and not being Bush the dumber. All the while signing off on a $1T upgrading of the US nuclear arsenal including the development of tactical weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blandy Posted September 9, 2020 Moderator Share Posted September 9, 2020 Just looked at that Twitter they have. #Trumpknew is trending because he was recorded in February and March by Bob Woodward , who has released the tapes, telling him he knew then the Virus was much more deadly than Flu and he was downplaying it. In other words he's been lying about it, 200,000 people have died. America (or the twitter of America) is vey cross. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
