Regarding Trump's Iran bombing: Even a broken clock is right twice a day. But you still can't trust it. Most of the time it's lying to you.

I’ve seen Les Mis in person three times and have never read Hugo. The first time was in my early 20s, and I did not appreciate the finer points and bigger themes. But I understood the conflict between Valjean and Javert, and saw a bit of both men in myself. Of course, by the second viewing, I’d done my homework.

That comment by Trump revealed more than a boatload of investigative reporting could hope to provide. We have an emotional child as President.

Also - shouldn’t he be smart enough to simply answer, “Javert”? Not that the MAGA diehards crossover with Les Mis fans, but those who do would probably prefer the Javert answer.

I don't get people who read only the chapters of Hugo that advance the story. Many of his asides are captivating and even poetic.

Heee’sss the one…who likes all our pretty songs and he

likes to sing along…and he likes to shoot his gun..but he…

knows not what it means…knows not what it means.

Yeah Knows not what it means, so you say Tracinski. Me thinks the formerly world’s biggest twitter troll with that reptilian brain, as your fellow Bullshit, I mean absurdly named Bulwark colleague Sykes likes to refer to his dark soul, knows just what Les Mis is all about…it’s just him and his high class call girl for a wife are rotting, I mean rooting, for the other side.

In the meantime, let U.S. all hope and pray a guided missile sends the Dark Knight, I mean so called Supreme Lear Darth Vadar of Teherooran’s soul to hell, the sooner the better, with, or without Congressional approval. VIVA ISREAL. DEATH TO JIHADISTS. Gotta run on. Thanks for taking my rant R.T. Peace through superior mental firepower

P.S. Here we are now, Trump entertain U.S. We the Living in Idiocracy
