this is the kind of stuff that normally would cause a rational person to say "that's too crazy to believe" but in the age of trump nothing is too crazy.
I fully expect to wake up tomorrow morning and tell people, "You wouldn't believe the dream I had last night - Donald Trump was elected President.... Stop laughing.... Stop laughing...."

It seems like an efficient and effective use of troops, unlike most of the military adventures that the US gets involved in. They should be doing it in many more places around the world.
And just how many hundred years would you suggest we prepare to keep troops there?

If the only option is war, it was pretty stupid to pull the troops out.
If you don't like the decision they have made get your senator and enough other senators to declare war on Turkey and go in and literate them.

My electricity is generated by coal. The draglines that dig it up weigh up to 5700 tons and have buckets up to 98 cubic yards. I toured one in 1966 but I didn't get a chance to see it walk. But I am familiar with heavy equipment that requires a lot of fuel to be able to move and do work. Some I have run burned 300 gallons of diesel per day. They run on electricity.

The ones around here need no kitchens or bedrooms because they're only a few miles from civilization. The crews go home after their shifts. It has a kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, engine room, and operations room. Machine operates 24/7 and stops only for maintenance, or breakdown. The generators were powered by two 16 cylinder diesel engine's. The machine had a 2,000 gallon fuel tank. And as far as I know, they get their electricity by cable.

That's exactly what the RCMP do when they train their members to use breathalyzers. Because you can measure the results by having a controlled group ingesting different amounts of alcohol, some with no alcohol, and seeing the results based on the amounts consumed along with their respective alcohol content. It doesn't get more measurable than that in order to determine how accurate it is.

That's the problem. A President is supposed to be owned by the voters. he's a new breed of politician owned entirely by himself"I'm Fallen and I can't get up!"

That's what I said.
the president is supposed to represent all voters, not the ones that voted for him alone. a Servant of Christ writes:
That's where he goes wrong. As you said yourself, he SHOULD be representing ALL of the voters. Instead, he only serves his own interests (re-election). trump appeals to the religious right. that's who he caters to."I'm Fallen and I can't get up!"

We can only hope you're right. so bottom line is trump probably bungled the election on purpose. he doesn't want it anymore. He can use whatever whiny childish excuse he wants as long as he's the hell out of there in November.

Hallelujah! in a way he has disappointed his religious right constituents."I'm Fallen and I can't get up!"
