If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

You should see some of the history books today.

I never realized that France regained Alsace-Lorraine between 1871 and 1914, and that Italy regained South Tyrol before 1918, or that Serbia was part of the Ottoman Empire. Mind this is all on the same map.

If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long.

Mine was like a third temporary buildings.

Of course after I graduated they moved the school to a big built out campus with state of the art shit and two years after I graduated the jazz band was rated best in the country (or second best...I can't remember) by Downbeat. Fuck that place...it's like they were going "Can we make it better?" "Nah, wait 'til that dude makes it through. This will really eat at him for the rest of his life."

So once they stop crying for the cameras and aren't a way for politicians to fake how much they care it's time to destroy them.

Betcha if they were using the "cloak of victimhood" to call for things you wanted you'd be singing out the other side of your mouth.

Yeah, because having direct, personal experience with an event disqualifies you from having opinions about anything connected to said event. Suuuure.
