[...] Iran hat er verärgert, weil er sich enttäuscht über die Mullahs geäußert hatte. Aber Syrien und Venezuela hat er erfolgreich nicht auf seine Seite gezogen und trotzdem werden jetzt bald wieder Botschafter [...]

Was the accompanying photo the inspiration for that salacious Burger King ad?

You seem predisposed or something.

Seriously! Ha Ha Ha

Yeah. It’s funny that you applauded an exaggerated embassy benefit without even QUESTIONING the associated costs. You seem predisposed or something.

I’m not wrong.

A sports writer put it well in another way, when he pointed out that his best athlete interviews were with boxers, because most of them had to fight for everything they ever received without a parade of sycophants telling them how “special” they are, and were thus much less likely to cop an attitude in response to questions.

Hope-a-Dope, by contrast, has grown quite accustomed to flattery; you can see it in his body language. The best photo-op I can imagine for the guy is to catch him in a moment when his chin isn’t thrust upward at an angle of 30 degrees or more. Pure, unapologetic, self-satisfied self-regard fairly oozes from his pores.

There’s only one antidote for this kind of malignant narcissism, and that’s a severe butt-kicking delivered by the real world. The sooner that happens, the better — for all of us.

an innate and narcissistic sense of “superiority” over others, which leads to hubris, which leads to carelessness, which leads to disaster.

It’s just a question of when.

Man, I hope you are wrong…

even as I think you are not.

A fitting response to virtually every post I've seen from the z-troll. And an example of his mordent repartee...

Books really do make great gifts.

Israel must be feeling kinda lonely right now. They should give him two books.

Yeah, next time try to consider the associated costs prior to touting benefits.
