Trump says he could have won the Vietnam War in a week. By bombing Ho Chi Minh City. IDIOT. The United States was defending Ho Chi Minh city, the capitol of South Vietnam. The enemy was North Vietnam, it's capitol is Hanoi. And by the way the United States did conduct limited bombing near Hanoi, but direct bombing of Hanoi itself would likely have drawn China or the Soviet Union into directly fighting against the United States. My God. This stupid violent idiot is Commander in Chief of the United States.

Trump: I could have won the Vietnam War in a week. They kept bombing forests for years instead of going after Ho Chi Minh City.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Ho Chi Minh City was called Saigon during the Vietnam War and was the capital of US-allied South Vietnam; North Vietnam's capital was Hanoi. britannica.com/place/Ho-Chi-M… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_S… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho_Chi_Mi…

Gaffes and Men’s Bodies: Analysis of Trump’s Speeches at Age 80 (Gift Article)

A Times review of the president’s public speeches finds that he is more profane, more absolutist, longer-winded and less coherent than he was in 2016.

Sad to say I’ve just watched the Traitors final. Sad because of where the money has ended up. £40,000+ to a ‘queer refugee’ charity. Get fucked 😩😂

SCIENTISTS DISCOVER 100% INCREASE IN RISK! Sounds terrifying. Until you discover the risk increased from 1 in a million to 2 in a million. Both statements are true. Only one tells you how worried you should be.

In a democracy, you should NEVER have to vote to save your rights. Thanks to the captured Supreme Court, that's exactly what's happening THIS November. They overturned Roe and punted abortion to the states. Now it's ON your ballot. Spread the word. Vote.

Arsenic is natural. Botulinum toxin is natural. Deadly nightshade is natural. But apparently, putting “100% natural” on a product makes it safer. Nature doesn’t read marketing labels.
