Question

Who brings a knife to a gun fight?

Sep 3, 2019 1:13PM PDT

Somebody from London. Not many mass killings with a knife.

DJT has a mad on for the Mayor of London, since the Mayor commented on the time DJT spends on the golf course.

DJT tweets
The incompetent Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, was bothered that I played a very fast round of golf yesterday. Many Pols exercise for hours, or travel for weeks. Me, I run through one of my courses (very inexpensive). President Obama would fly to Hawaii. Kahn should focus on.”knife crime,” which is totally out of control in London. People are afraid to even walk the streets. He is a terrible mayor who should stay out of our business!

Kahn should focus on "knife crime" AND DJT should focus on "gun crime" NOT making a shot with his pitching wedge?

A very "fast round of golf".....AND he played it for the 227th time as POTUS.

(very inexpensive)He doesn't pay green fees?...The American taxpayer pays for moving all those people that have to protect him...perhaps he could take a bus and put a tag on him so if he gets lost they can return him to the White House?.....According to Forbes, Trump has spent over $100 million in taxpayer money on his hundreds of days at his own golf resorts—putting him on track to spend more than $340 million if he is elected to a second term.

DJT...the guy that thought Obama spent too much time golfing?

I think he should play golf more

than he does currently - on Mars. He could get some really long drives with the reduced air-resistance. And think of the great legacy he will have as the first man on another planet - too bad the return trip is so expensive, first class out, one-way will have to do...

Is there a snide and arch comment in there?

We could call it "snarchy".

snarchy - I like it,

but maybe too close to anarchy. (?)

And I neglected to consider that on a trip of that duration, more than one astronaut usually would be required, especially for a "controlled" landing - at least that is what was done for our moon - a mere three day trip, versus around three months to Mars. Lots of McD's or KFC or Taco Bell fare would need to be shipped out with him for sustenance - though their advertising could pay for a lot of the expense...

about BO's past history with domestic terrorists, cop killers, bombers, and Farrakhan because liberal media refused to report on any of it? Where were you then with 'informing' the American people?

THAT was YOUR job. Spreading the "word" about Obama's perceived misdeeds.

It appears you are still at it, even though Obama is no longer POTUS.

was nowhere near the importance level that Trump's golfing amounts to.

IF DJT didn't post about the Mayor of London talking about how much time DJT spent golfing...I wouldn't have known. So HE told me and I told you....TheRUMP connected "knife deaths in London by stabbing" and "golf".

Try and connect THOSE dots. TheRUMP wanted divert attention from HIS golfing?

Don't look at the number of gun deaths in America...look over there....80 people stabbed to death in London in 8 months this year.

I though people went to the golf course for "relaxation" unless you are a pro golfer...then you are there for the money.

OR IF you are POTUS you go there to think about how you can keep the pot stirred.

You do realize Kahn and TheRUMP have been feuding since 2015.
