“These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”

He knows he’s Kamala Harrising/John Kerrying/Hubert Humphreying before he even gets to run for president
Notice he doesn't include "the law."
Good luck to everyone at CNN! Clearly he and Ellison have talked about this. It's obviously the plan for the company when they take over. Well at least he gave everyone a heads up
Since I don’t work in the news business, maybe someone can educate me
When the Secretary of Defense tells news organizations what they should write and how they should cover the news, is that propaganda
Because to the uninitiated user, it sure seems like it
oh man this has potential

Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could “bomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.
