Swagger is arrogant confidence. Right word, wrong definition.
Hopefully hstory judges him for the festering pustule he is.

No idea what it's about but " pride, humility" I'm missing the connection, is that like a humble brag? Or is he talking about to different situations?

Re: The Trump foreign policy thread
Time, 2018
The State Department made a surprising announcement on Monday, and it had nothing to do with international affairs. The branch of the federal government had rebranded itself as “The Department of Swagger.”
The re-branding campaign started when Secretary of State Mike Pompeo launched an Instagram account on Monday, posting an inaugural photo and declaring that the State Department has “swagger.” So much “swagger” that the entire department needed to be renamed to properly reflect the amount of “swagger” shown in Pompeo’s photo. “Thought I’d launch my Instagram account with some @statedept #swagger,” the secretary of state wrote alongside an image of a new (hopefully) joke state department seal, which was also posted on Pompeo’s Twitter account.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

This is Pompeo branding his 2024 presidential run.

Can we just give Iran Trump and his officials? I'm not even asking anything in return.

Re: The Trump foreign policy thread
If this truly is our long lost compatriot Rip, then he must have changed his tune and started loving Turkey like the orange one does.
But I suspect we have a bot in our midst.

Re: The Trump foreign policy thread
But the orange one you worship loves turkey, bot. Remember, he even called himself “a big fan” of Erdogan. Your programming is off.

Re: The Trump foreign policy thread
Haven't we been over this years ago? First I was for Rand Paul, then he dropped out. So I began backing Ted Cruz, then he dropped out. That left Trump instead of Clinton. Hardly makes me a big fan.

It does show your preference for The Bigger Assholes in the GOP.

Took me 2 seconds to disprove that the real Rip wasn’t a big fan of Trump. Shall we gather up all the others, bot?Rip wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2019 4:30 pm I haven't missed a day of streaming since before xmas btw.
I am every bit the beast on twitch as I have been for years here. If only there were more hours in the day I would still be hanging out here more.
But don't worry if Trump gets re-elected I will be sure to come take a victory lap for old times sake.
Just out of curiosity, what made this bot choose a random post from almost 3 years ago to respond to?

A win is a win. I would prefer DeSantis this time around, but another Term for The Donald would be fine by me.hepcat wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 9:23 pmTook me 2 seconds to disprove that you aren’t a big fan of Trump.

Anything to get the current pervert out, that doesn't result Kamala or Nancy slipping in.
