Many men will run away

I seem to remember that last June the leaders of several Western democracies and Donald Trump gathered in Normandy to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Allied invasion.   Trump hates any event where he has to share the spotlight with real leaders, so he spent most of his time spewing abuse at Nancy Pelosi.  I can't remember how she had chafed his enormous ass that week; it hardly matters.  The adults signed a D-Day Proclamation at the bottom, while Trump's imbecilic scrawl appears at the top.  This is how he honored the Americans buried behind the beachhead.

Trump has no idea when the Second World War occurred, or why, or why it matters, but the single word Normandy lodged among the spirochetes in his very good brain.  Today, as Turkey and its Russian supporters unleashed hell on the Kurds in Syria, he explained that we don't owe them a thing because -- I swear -- "they didn't help us with Normandy."  Once again, he was right to pull out US forces because he is never wrong.  He asked President Erdogan to take it easy.  Not his job to tell other countries what to do, unless they might have something he can use to shit on a Democrat, or Ivanka, Inc., needs another sweatshop.

Only last night Lindsey Graham was all puffed up, declaring that Congress will just about sanction the daylights out of Turkey if they persist.  After sleeping on it, Senator Purtymouth decided that his Republican colleagues should be forced to sign a loyalty oath to their Dear Leader.  Lindsey, if they have to sign an oath, it sounds like Moscow Mitch is not really in control of things.  Was it that mean old Mitt Romney who upset you?  Did you lose your list of nerfball questions for Giuliani?  Have a lie-down in the hammock, honey, this is only going to get worse.

Now let me see...who benefits the most from NATO infighting?  What a lovely birthday present for Putin.  For Christmas, maybe we could sell him Alaska at the 1863 price.  When you start selling people out, it's hard to stop.
