Well, all I can say is I’m Elvis adjacent by virtue of the fact that my older brother met The King in Germany when they were both in the Army while they were in the chow line. How ya like me now? 🤣🤣🤣
After he was already dead, I opened his tax return at the WI Dept of Revenue. (He had played a concert in Madison the previous year. I was 16 and had a part-time job opening and sorting tax forms, one of those pre-internet jobs that are long gone.)
I was invited to the Clinton White House. Instead of meeting Bill, Hilary met with my class, our traveling companions and me. Her photographer took our pics, which I have either here in the US, and we got a special tour of the White House. She was absolutely lovely with my students. It was a day to remember, although usually I don't. Thanks for the memory.
Been to Graceland myself. As is often reported, it's rather small. Today's billionaires have garages with more square footage, and yet, ELVIS will always be "the King".
I grew up with two older sisters who loved Elvis, and I was exposed to his music. I wanted to see Graceland, so we toured it. I was very impressed with the (appeared to be) HUNDREDS of checks framed and displayed. Apparently, Elvis wrote a small check to anyone who needed a hand, in fact, it nearly bankrupted him. It was Priscilla that opened Graceland to the public and rebuilt the empire and legacy. My husband humored me by going to Graceland with me, and he came away a fan of Elvis.
Too many people now remember Elvis as an overweight, druggie has been who o.d'd on a toilet. Elvis reportedly suffered from Mega Colon which was a factor in his death. He was used and spit out by the music/entertainment industry. What a shame.
I was invited to the St. Ronny Raygun White House by my friend’s boyfriend who was in his Cabinet. I stole a cocktail napkin from the Oval Office that I still have. I also saw Fawn Hall talking to Oliver North in the hallway but I didn’t see any secret documents sticking out of her boots. IYKYK. It was surreal. Fk Raygun and all the rest of the unAmerican traitors.
PS -- My friend unceremoniously broke up with me after 36 years of being BFFs because I hated
She did you a favor! I also lost a friend because of trumPutin, and it turned out that I suddenly had more than $500 a month more in my checking account. He had been my signatory for about 10 years after I became fully disabled, and he had my debit card so he could run errands for me. I trusted him completely. 💔
Agree about my former friend, who was apolitical when we met in 1984. Her then-boyfriend now husband of 35 years has completely twisted her head and turned her into a huge MAGAt. Her ghosting saved me the trouble of breaking up with her.
Sorry that you were ripped off by your former "friend" and I'm also sorry that you are disabled. $500 is a lot of money to lose every month. It's hard to trust people these days. My friend group isn't huge, but it is authentic and awesome. 💙
The opening lyrics to Elvis’ song that became “our song” as I married my own Ms. Spouse in 1981. In the matter of love, the wise men were wrong. In the matter of a war in the Middle East, the wise men should be heeded
My mother in law grew up in Memphis and met Elvis plenty of times and it’s funny to hear her casually mention some nice boy and realize that she’s talking about Elvis.
Also I know trump has said people said that he favored young Elvis except with blond hair back in the day. You know he’s just resentful that people didn’t love him and isn’t over it.
Oh! And my husband worked as a guide at Graceland 30 years ago for a summer! You got to borrow videos of all his movies, so he has seen them all, even “Clambake!”
When my husband was in the Air Force, he was stationed near Graceland and said he would drive by it every day on his way to work. Being a big Elvis fan, I asked him if he ever went into Graceland. When he replied, "No" I was incredulous, saying, "How could you drive by it every day and not go in?" His reply, "He was living there at the time." Oh, never mind.
We've since been to Graceland and we did the VIP tour which was worth the extra $.
More people from New York City have been to Mt. Rushmore than people from South Dakota. More people from South Dakota have been to the Statue of Liberty than people from New York City.
I can say I met Elvis, Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder and Marilyn Monroe a few years back, all in the same room together and I have pics to prove it, in a wax museum. It’s so weird to stand so close to them you can see nose hair. Still beautiful and they hadn’t aged a bit.
They had a little less conversation, a peanut butter and banana sandwich? Remember when Nixon duped Elvis with a fake badge to hunt down drug criminals?
You and I are both Elvis adjacent. My brother said the same thing about him being a nice guy. My brother also played guitar and jammed with Elvis and some other guys in the rec room on base.
Sound reasoning. However [of course], one should address which party might win by lying. I think Iran doesn’t win anything valuable by denying and Trump always will lie when he thinks that the lie will make people think better of him. To postpone his ‘glorious’ bombardments that shocked the markets (which are holy to him), he decided to postpone them 'because he (HE!) had so good talks with Iranian representatives’. This portrays him as a good dealmaker [which he isn’t] and it should sooth the dealers on the markets whose indices than would rise again. So, Trump is the liar, as could be expected since he is a pathological liar.
That could very well be true Linda; but, the point I would make is that we KNOW Trump is lying because everyone time he opens his mouth he lies (when the truth would serve him better—as my friend Matt used to say).
Yes, the Iranians could be lying but I’d be more likely to trust them over Trump.
Donald Trump may be really incompetent at managing the operations of real things like the Presidency or foreign policy, but what he is clearly VERY competent at is corruptly making money through innuendo and propaganda. When insider trading investigations begin, let's start at the top.
It was late last night when I saw a bit of news that must have hit too late for either HCR or Jeff to comment upon: The WH is paying the French company building wind farms off the coast ONE BILLION DOLLARS to end it.
But, we can't FEED hungry Americans, or shelter them, or heal their illnesses.
I am totally disgusted with Congress.
Vote every one of those Republican (insert bad words!!) OUT.
The main problem I see here is that there aren’t nearly enough bad words to fully describe the GOP any longer. 15 years ago, I struggled, but at least I found enough bad words to cover it. Today? Not so much.
Yes! Exactly, Sharon C. Storm. I've been married to a sailor for 48 years and am (waaay) over 50 years old. Both of those conditions create olympian-level, swear word vocabulary. Lately, though. I'm reduced to shaking my fist in the air. The power words have run dry.
I get ya, Sharon. As I fancy myself a writer, I try to find the most succinct words to convey my thoughts. I also try to avoid expletives as #1 I was raised by a father who never ever used them even when he had good reason to and #2 they have come to lack impact and meaning anymore, at least for me. Back in 1974, dropping an f-bomb--even by a teenaged boy--was reserved for when adults weren't around, and I recall other teen boys saying "shut up, there's a lady here" when I was present, even though I was the same age as them!
I was home on leave at the dining table with my dad and stepmother. I say to my dad "pass the fucking salt please". 1976 I think. I was so embarrassed. It was a word we used without thinking when I was in the service.
I live next door to a family with a few small children, under 10 years old. It really bothers me to hear the parents yelling at the kids to perform outdoor chores (pick up the dog poop, etc) and use the s and f words. I mentioned this to a neighbor who lives down the street who said "those are the best behaved kids you'd ever see" and it is true. I believe in this household, those words are just common. I am quite sure the kids are loved and well cared for. I just hate to hear it, but I'm old.
I say it way too much, and my wife catches me on it. But I have automatic filters to not cuss in front of or around the public and most everyone else. My wife uses the word frack.
My dad had this same story, Ray! Probably happened around 1943, after a medical discharge from the service. He was at the table with my mom and her parents! 😁 I didn’t hear about it until I was an adult.
I was suspended from third grade because I called the mean girl who was tormenting me in the lunch line an ass. I also had to apologize to her in front of the class, but I started to get nauseous and ran for the girls' room. The teacher chased me! She was on my heals when I vomited just outside the stall. That was 62+ years ago, and I'm still able to remember it with crystal clarity. I couldn't tell you anything else about that year....and it was just the word "ass"!
This bullshit about negotiations would be laughable if it weren’t so fucking terrifying. And now that they’re desperately scrambling to find a way out of the cluster fuck they created, I have this image of Jared, trying to reach whoever is leading Iran, pushing all the buttons on his phone and screaming, “Speak to an agent!”
Re: support for the ass clown, waiting for a reply from Martin Heinrich (D - New Mexico) as to why he'd vote to confirm Markwayne Mullin. Fetterman, we already know about---he went over to the dark side long ago.
It's just pathetic that the Dems hardly ever present a united front.
Thank you for not letting this shit become routine. That's a huge danger with this non stop bullshit. I see and hear it, but I appreciate your take and ability to parse it into doses of reality. It cathartic and I fucking Love all the fucking curses as well. Be best comrade.
There are times—many times—when words fail. When even pictures fail. When our brains simply cannot process. But then, our national roller coaster ride keeps going around for one more terrifying ascent.
I’m real glad you included that photo of yerself. It reminds me that, as Firesign Theater once proclaimed: “We’re all bozos on this bus.”
Much of Firesign Theater’s work is on the internet. I fell for their recordings in the late sixties/early seventies, mostly because they understood the listening experience and because they were really smart. They refused to dumb down for a laugh. Very clever lads. Silly, but smart-silly.
To be fair, Dipshit-in-Chief could definitely have taken Elvis in a hamberder eating contest. And the talks with Iran in his brain ("Did not!" Did too!") are going very well. It's totes unfair that The Wall Street Journal compared him to Baghdad Bob. Bob didn't destabilize the world, he just lied about it hilariously.
Could he have taken Elvis in a fight? While he is killing innocents and our own military personnel, destroying the world order, lining his and his family's pockets with open corruption, wasting taxpayer money, and per usual, lying out his malodorous diaper, this is what crosses his mind. He is the current occupant of the White House, with the nuclear codes and the role of commander in chief. Holy shit. Every day that is what crosses my mind.
How can we possibly survive 3 more years of this batshit buffoonery!
It is a highly dangerous situation we find ourselves in.
How can so many be so stupid as to re elect this narcissistic and bombastic Fool to bring such destruction to all the norms we once held dear ? It is maddening!
Silly, because egg prices are going to be SO low, just like gasoline! Also, he’s going to drain the swamp (not quite sure what that means) and open *all* the Epstein files and get rid of all the bad illegal people. All the farmers will be happy and the children will be safe and it will be the 1950s again… but with cell phones.
Trump has accomplished something quite amazing here. In the nearly 47 years of the Islamic Republic in Iran, if ever there was a disparity in "truth" between Tehran and the White House, the British mainstream print media would side with the White House version - largely because the White House would be right, or at least far closer to being correct than Tehran. But this morning? The British mainstream print media, probably the most pro-American in Europe, just doesn't know. They really don't know who to believe, which almost certainly means that they really think that Donny is the one making it up. That may be no surprise to us, but when our newspapers are pretty public about it - yup, you've changed that beacon of light into a fountain of shite...
Donald Trump may be really incompetent at managing the operations of real things like the Presidency or foreign policy, but what he is clearly VERY competent at is corruptly making money through innuendo and propaganda. When insider trading investigations begin, let's start at the top.
Once item that I think many overlook was exposed in today's Bulwark newsletter. Trump is starting to tease that maybe it was Pete's fault to start this thing all along.......
And he even apportioned out a bit of shared responsibility, turning to his defense secretary: “And, uh, Pete, I think you were the first one to speak up, and you said, ‘Let’s do it.’” There may be no better indication that the president is experiencing a little bomber’s remorse: When things are going well, Trump’s not exactly one to share credit.
hey, you know who else met Elvis? Ms. Spouse.
Well, all I can say is I’m Elvis adjacent by virtue of the fact that my older brother met The King in Germany when they were both in the Army while they were in the chow line. How ya like me now? 🤣🤣🤣
After he was already dead, I opened his tax return at the WI Dept of Revenue. (He had played a concert in Madison the previous year. I was 16 and had a part-time job opening and sorting tax forms, one of those pre-internet jobs that are long gone.)
When my uncle got drafted, he was lucky enough to be sent to Germany, to the unit Elvis had been in a few years earlier.
The enlisted club was very, very nice. Elvis set them up.
Way cool!
I was invited to the Clinton White House. Instead of meeting Bill, Hilary met with my class, our traveling companions and me. Her photographer took our pics, which I have either here in the US, and we got a special tour of the White House. She was absolutely lovely with my students.

It's okay to brag about meeting Elvis. That's royalty. I, too have been to Graceland, but never got to meet Elvis, alas and alackaday.
Been to Graceland myself. As is often reported, it's rather small. Today's billionaires have garages with more square footage, and yet, ELVIS will always be "the King".

Moselle, I have only seen photos of Graceland, but I have to ask: Do you think the trumpster was looking for decorating ideas?
🤣
I’ve been to Graceland. And in the Oval Office. Wouldn’t go near any of them now that they’ve been sullied by the rotting TACO.
I've been to the WH as well. When I saw the East wing was ripped down, I actually cried.
I have been 4here and some rooms look like they were decorated by Helen Keller.
I believe it was what was in vogue back then.
Do you think you could take him?
The best I can do here is that I've been to the house from A Christmas Story. Yes, it has the leg lamp in the front window.
and she preferred you! ❤️
Jeff looking pretty good in that photo! Hummina hummina!
OOH YEAH!!!!!!!
a stud muffin with a WICKED sense of outrage, humor and sarcasm

That would be exactly the kind of person who would love Trump.
I am sorry that happened to you, Paula Dean. But am glad you found it out. What an awful person.

Only fools rush in…”

And the talent, and the charm, and the good looks, and the bedroom eyes, and the snake hips, and and and...
The dysmorphia and delulu never ends with this guy, does it?
That’s very cool! 🥰
I still sorrow for you jeff on that loss. Please remember to practice self care, like you tell the rest of us.

Nice photo Jeff! 🤩

You have probably already heard about the series The Madison… very real to life of soulful love and loss. Lots of tissues needed.
That’s awesome!! My dad was a huge fan of Elvis. Guess who got to visit Graceland & who didn’t between me & my dad? 🤭
My dad who was stationed in Germany from 1957 to 1960 met Elvis and said what a polite man he was.
You and I are both Elvis adjacent. My brother said the same thing about him being a nice guy. My brother also played guitar and jammed with Elvis and some other guys in the rec room on base.
I trust what the Iranian “leaders” are telling me over whatever I hear from this regime. That’s fucking scary.
This ridiculous mess is grim
So of course he's in top lying trim
Pulling fibs out his ass
To escape this morass
I trust Iran more than him
👍👍👍
💯💯💯💯
That is what everyone is saying. However, the point that both sides are lying can be true as well.
Sound reasoning. However [of course], one should address which party might win by lying. I think Iran doesn’t win anything valuable by denying and Trump always will lie when he thinks that the lie will make people think better of him. To postpone his ‘glorious’ bombardments that shocked the markets (which are holy to him), he decided to postpone them 'because he (HE!) had so good talks with Iranian representatives’. This portrays him as a good dealmaker [which he isn’t] and it should sooth the dealers on the markets whose indices than would rise again. So, Trump is the liar, as could be expected since he is a pathological liar.
If Trump’s mouth is emitting CO2 or anus gas, you can be 900% (one of his patented sales discounts) sure that he is lying.
He will to disrupt market trading.
You nailed it Cornelis!
That could very well be true Linda; but, the point I would make is that we KNOW Trump is lying because everyone time he opens his mouth he lies (when the truth would serve him better—as my friend Matt used to say).
Yes, the Iranians could be lying but I’d be more likely to trust them over Trump.
OMG🤦♀️ I truly thought I was the only one who thought that Mike! But shush, don’t let that get out there, lest we be brought up on charges of
seditious conspiracy🤯
Right?!
Ii think we’d all believe a nameless mysterious leader whom we’ve never seen or heard, before we’d believe any alleged facts tooted out by King Moron.
Was saying the same thing the other say. It’s Upside Down times.
With you Mike
Isn’t it? Knowing we’re more likely to get truth anywhere else than from these jerks?
Really! That's so true. Fucking unbelievable thst this is the country we live in right now. Has anyone called out Trump for lying?
I figured out the war strategy: "Stop or I'll say stop again!"
Excellent.
Donnie the Dumbfuck summarized over the course of one day.
Friday's press gaggle Barely exaggerated:
At 12:03 PM, President Trump told reporters he wanted a ceasefire with Iran.
At 12:05 he declared victory.
At 12:07 he announced he was sending Marines.
At 12:08 he said no boots on the ground.
At 12:11 he said he did not want a ceasefire.
At 12:16 he declared victory again. At 12:17 he asked for a ceasefire. At 12:23 he told NATO they were cowards.
At 12:29 he said Iran was begging for a ceasefire.
At 12:31 he said everything was perfect.
At 12:36 he said $500 oil was a good thing.
At 12:37 he demanded Iran open Hormuz.
At 12:39 he said Hormuz was never closed.
At 12:41 he said the US was not at war with Iran.
At 12:42 he declared victory in Iran.

yeah, I tried to work that bit of info into today's post but there was no way to wedge it in without killing the narrative
Totally! It’s just unbelievable when it is listed out—in the sense that he should have been ejected from all power and responsibility awhile ago now.
He barely has the mental capacity to open a pudding cup.
I bet they had to change his diapers over to using Pull-Ups because he couldn't figure out how to work the velcro tabs.
Donald Trump may be really incompetent at managing the operations of real things like the Presidency or foreign policy, but what he is clearly VERY competent at is corruptly making money through innuendo and propaganda. When insider trading investigations begin, let's start at the top.
It was probably Jared who gamed the system.
Arne: exactly what I thought
He most certainly had help. Possible surrogates: Kushner, Nutlick Jr., Drumpf Jr., Barron, one of Melania’s hats, Bessent’s pool boy ...
I'll put money on it being Melania's Hamburgler hat.
He's certifiable. Will no one rid us of this lunatic?
We don't have any knights with swords.
I'd love to send Uma Thurman to the White House in her "Kill Bill" mode.
Vol. 2!
We don't have any Congress with balls.
And that is the problem.
You’re right Chris — at least not in this regime (administration)
Arrogance + Incompetence = Disaster. Again!
Very funny Unity! But also very scary.
It was late last night when I saw a bit of news that must have hit too late for either HCR or Jeff to comment upon: The WH is paying the French company building wind farms off the coast ONE BILLION DOLLARS to end it.

lol! You’re not the only one Carol — there’s a whole lot of shakin’ going on.
I understand, I’m 85, so I had plenty of time to learn all the words.
I get ya, Sharon. As I fancy myself a writer, I try to find the most succinct words to convey my thoughts.

I substitute Phuket (Pooh Ket) in polite company, after listening to a kid gave an oral report on Thailand.
I never swear in front of my kids, and they swear like sailors. The words have lost their meaning.
My dad had this same story, Ray! Probably happened around 1943, after a medical discharge from the service. He was at the table with my mom and her parents! 😁 I didn’t hear about it until I was an adult.
I was hysterical! The salt. Please.
Navy?
I was suspended from third grade because I called the mean girl who was tormenting me in the lunch line an ass. I also had to apologize to her in front of the class, but I started to get nauseous and ran for the girls' room. The teacher chased me! She was on my heals when I vomited just outside the stall.

Compared to now, in those ancient days, young men did not feel so “entitled,” or so resentful of women. As I remember it.
“Fucking shitwits” isn’t sufficient any longer?
Me exactly
How abou dingleberry dong-knockers 🤔
And Fetterman!
He did change his vote and voted with Democrats. They must have given Fetterman something for his vote.
On my OWN dime I wrote many, many postcards for Fetterman. I can't begin to express the level of disappointment I have!
That French company needed to tell him to fuck off!
Right Miselle! It must happen!
Said company agreed to invest in US oil and gas.
This bullshit about negotiations would be laughable if it weren’t so fucking terrifying. And now that they’re desperately scrambling to find a way out of the cluster fuck they created, I have this image of Jared, trying to reach whoever is leading Iran, pushing all the buttons on his phone and screaming, “Speak to an agent!”
Ok, that made me laugh out loud. Who among us has not done that?
Just speak a foreign language to the AI, when it can't understand you it will transfer you to an agent (in some systems).
And dont forget soldiers have died, young girls have died, many civilians have died. That's the really horrific result of his hubris
And, sadly rlritt, he’s not done yet. I think I heard him say “Let there be blood…and then some more blood”
I just keep pressing a lot of numbers. Eventually you get a “representative “.
It’s like sending a “hello!” Into outer space.
Anyone who continues to rationalize their support for this ass clown should evaluate their other life choices as well.
They are too dumb to even do that I’m guessing!
they only have one life choice: being a moronic simpleton with no empathy - just like their bossman!
Re: support for the ass clown, waiting for a reply from Martin Heinrich (D - New Mexico) as to why he'd vote to confirm Markwayne Mullin. Fetterman, we already know about---he went over to the dark side long ago.
It's just pathetic that the Dems hardly ever present a united front.
https://youtu.be/NPY3Cu2R1SI?si=XqQJ7U1BNogl0veE
I agree. But he did change his vote.
So good
And Trump actually makes Iran look like the sane ones. Thats quite a feat.
Thats so true. Trump looks crazy next to religious fanatics. Wow.
He and his ilk are also religious fanatics of a white Christian nationalist persuasion.
Thank you for not letting this shit become routine. That's a huge danger with this non stop bullshit. I see and hear it, but I appreciate your take and ability to parse it into doses of reality. It cathartic and I fucking Love all the fucking curses as well. Be best comrade.
I know who said BE BEST and I'm not telling.
Also allegedly said by that person: "I maarry awful hoosband for mahney. Cannott waayt for heem to keek thee bahcket."
Holy crap, HI2thDoc, I HEARD that quote in my head! Well done!
Heh heh
There are times—many times—when words fail. When even pictures fail. When our brains simply cannot process. But then, our national roller coaster ride keeps going around for one more terrifying ascent.

Also reminds me of FT’s “Not Insane!”/Papoon for President routine, wherein the main attraction of Candidate Papoon is that he is “not insane!”
Gets my vote.
Wasn't that a song routine? I wonder if it's available on YouTube?
Much of Firesign Theater’s work is on the internet. I fell for their recordings in the late sixties/early seventies, mostly because they understood the listening experience and because they were really smart. They refused to dumb down for a laugh. Very clever lads. Silly, but smart-silly.
To be fair, Dipshit-in-Chief could definitely have taken Elvis in a hamberder eating contest. And the talks with Iran in his brain ("Did not!" Did too!") are going very well. It's totes unfair that The Wall Street Journal compared him to Baghdad Bob. Bob didn't destabilize the world, he just lied about it hilariously.
Whatever happened to Bob? He'd make a peachy assistant for Karoline.
She would feel threatened by his panache and popularity
True. So would Trump.
They compared Trump to Baghdad Bob? That's perfect. I wish I'd thought that up.
Could he have taken Elvis in a fight? While he is killing innocents and our own military personnel, destroying the world order, lining his and his family's pockets with open corruption, wasting taxpayer money, and per usual, lying out his malodorous diaper, this is what crosses his mind. He is the current occupant of the White House, with the nuclear codes and the role of commander in chief. Holy shit. Every day that is what crosses my mind.
How can we possibly survive 3 more years of this batshit buffoonery!
It is a highly dangerous situation we find ourselves in.
How can so many be so stupid as to re elect this narcissistic and bombastic Fool to bring such destruction to all the norms we once held dear ? It is maddening!
And the same 4 out of ten still think he is great and a smart successful deal maker. I don't get it at all. This goes beyond Fox News brainwashing.
Cult - Jim Jones would be proud
I think you're 100 % right and they are afraid of losing their gang and therefore their identity
Is it still 4 out of 10? Holy shit!
Silly, because egg prices are going to be SO low, just like gasoline! Also, he’s going to drain the swamp (not quite sure what that means) and open *all* the Epstein files and get rid of all the bad illegal people. All the farmers will be happy and the children will be safe and it will be the 1950s again… but with cell phones.
I agree with you 100%!
It's amazing how Trump can turn something into a big money maker for his family and friends while taking us to the edge of going nuclear.
And national bankruptcy. He's written the script for who America's enemies will be for the rest of the century.
That's what will be known to future historians, assuming we survive, as a Trump Twofer
And it should be illegal.
Trump has accomplished something quite amazing here. In the nearly 47 years of the Islamic Republic in Iran, if ever there was a disparity in "truth" between Tehran and the White House, the British mainstream print media would side with the White House version - largely because the White House would be right, or at least far closer to being correct than Tehran. But this morning? The British mainstream print media, probably the most pro-American in Europe, just doesn't know. They really don't know who to believe, which almost certainly means that they really think that Donny is the one making it up. That may be no surprise to us, but when our newspapers are pretty public about it - yup, you've changed that beacon of light into a fountain of shite...
Donald Trump may be really incompetent at managing the operations of real things like the Presidency or foreign policy, but what he is clearly VERY competent at is corruptly making money through innuendo and propaganda. When insider trading investigations begin, let's start at the top.
Jared and Witkoff, such a pair
Always scheming to grab a big share
Of dubious solicitations
Through treasonous machinations
Greedy weasels who never play fair
Somebody in the Trump family is. Say, what has Ivanka been up to lately?
Once item that I think many overlook was exposed in today's Bulwark newsletter. Trump is starting to tease that maybe it was Pete's fault to start this thing all along.......
And he even apportioned out a bit of shared responsibility, turning to his defense secretary: “And, uh, Pete, I think you were the first one to speak up, and you said, ‘Let’s do it.’” There may be no better indication that the president is experiencing a little bomber’s remorse: When things are going well, Trump’s not exactly one to share credit.
