Any idea about some reports/rumors that USA is evacuating non-essential personnel from it’s Gulf bases? I don’t know who can be non-essential in a military base.

That is going on, yes. At least a suspicious number of flights taking off from those bases, have been reported yesterday and more today. Logic kind of dictates that the reports about evacuation of non essential personell is indeed going on. It would be malpractice not to do this.
Today it has been reported that all planes and helos on us bases have evacuated or been secluded in underground shelters.

Pakistan appears to be playing Trump like a fiddle. Public comments crediting him for his role in brokering the peace (contradicting Modi) and garnering the warmest reception in Washington for a senior Pakistani figure in a very long time.

It’s telling that this is Asim Munir that US has invited to the white House. The Chief of Armed Forces and not their PM. The facade of Pakistan being a democracy totally drops.

Trump wanted Modi to come to the white house (to get Modi and Munir) in for a photo Op. Modi refused.

Modi just went up in my estimation, at least a little bit.

Oh and Pakistan bribed Trump.

Don’t your jaws ache for smiling so much?

More evidence of the Trump administration being a nasty piece of work:

I suspect that the real reason for this is that they would rather young LGBT people would actually kill themselves.

My jaw is perfectly fine. I have ruptures in my shoulder and Arthritis in a joint there. I also have issues from an old prolapse in the lower back.
But no, jaw is perfectly fine. Thanks a lot for your very kind concern, regarding my jaw. It gets enough training in social merry settings with friends, but not to the degree where it becomes a problem. Again, thanks for your heartfelt concern.

Boosting own self esteem

Talking about himself in the third person. Is it narcissism, egoism, or dissociative identity disorder.

Well it is narcissism and egoism. Dissociative identity disorder (i understand from the words what it means) I hadn’t even heard of, but maybe that too.

Educated men/women must debate if he is a psycopath or a sociopath, but surely one of them fits him like a glove. But I’ll let the experts decide which is which and submit to their ruling on that particular matter.

He actually comes across as being quite infantile really. I just found the talking in a third person as a bit odd.

Are you sure? I’m starting to believe that he is bat-crap-crazy.
