Related: About this forumSo, tonight on Week in Review David Brooks just compared Trump to St. Augustine.
In that, Trump believed in the doctrine of "just war."
I really had softened my attitude toward Brooks and this is what I (and we) get! This guy Brooks is just as sick minded as he always was. Nothing has changed him. And Mark Shields didn't take him to task for that outrageous comparison!
Brooks is still out of his fucking head.

The only kind of war Trump believes in is one that somehow will benefit him.

"Just war," my fat pink ass. David Brooks likes to sound intellectual, which is probably why he quoted St. Augustine. But what a totally dim, clueless, obtuse remark. The only St. Augustine Trump would have ever heard of is that city in Florida, where he held a rally.

also moral and good and he is NOT.
