#3 Soooo, what do you suppose brought this on?

1) The syphilis has finally hit his brain.
2) He knows that the world's right-thinking people have never met a dictator they didn't like.

"Homelessness" -- now that's a blast from the past. He's dusting off Soviet playbooks from the Reagan era.

Next thing you know, hair metal will be back.

#5 Look at what is happening in North America: The horror, torture, homelessness and Guantanamo with imprisonment without a court or trial, he told foreign journalists on Friday.

Unlike ~~Ras~~Putin, we are fighting terrorism instead of sponsoring it.

#10 He opposes the US defending itself. He supports our enemies. He tries to silence opposition.

He'd fit right in with the Democrats.

#11 That tells us how far the Dhimocrats have fallen when an enemy of the US matches their political rhetoric.
