Question, what happened to that major, major conflict with north korea? did we win?

what is the U.S. policy in syria? did assad quit killing his people because trump bombed an empty airfield?

what is the U.S. policy in afghanistan? did Isis give up after the 'mother of all bombs' was dropped?

lots of optics, no policies put forward.

i'm asking these questions because our media isn't. where's the follow up?

One thing at at time. Please don't force him to focus on diversions in the wake of his health care "victory".

Just wait until some new and major thing comes out on the dipshit donnie group. Then it will rise to the top again. Look news media it's shiny, fetch, fetch.
