What political "Quid" is this "Quo" paying off?

Congrats to Orange Julius Ceasar. The only success he's had in office is securely placing asterisk by every single achievement his maladministration has allegedly accomplished.

Good night to you, malaise.

his body. I believed Obama was telling the truth about Bin Laden, but I don't believe DT's story about killing the leader of ISIS. He desperately needs some big ataboys now and he lies sll the time about everything, it's not beyond him to make this killing up just to get some pats on the back.

You asked how many times are we going to kill this same guy. DT knows that so I think he used that story for his own benefit.

...knocked off a "high value target" or "key member" in The War Against Terror (TWAT) every damn week, it seemed like at the time. It occurred with the same regularity as the Terror Alert jumping from "orange" to "red"--that is, every time Li'l Dubbie said something stupid--which is to say, frequently.

being the #3 guy in the Taliban was not a career enhancing move as they seemed to have pretty lousy life expectancy.
