i believe you said that trump is NOT brain damaged. by default, that makes you a zealot.

there's no way an objective person can listen to him and say yep, that guy's got a functioning brain right there

Saquon is overrated, and I never said Mahomes is bad, just that it's been impossible to tell if he's actually good because he has the best combination of time to throw and wide open receivers we've ever seen. That and the rules making it almost disadvantageous to pressure QBs with blitzes because of the risk of penalties has completely skewed everything. Nick Foles looked like Joe Montana with that line and offense last year, and people were seriously calling Dak a hall of fame talent two years ago, don't forget that.

literally nobody but skip bayless was calling dak a hall of fame talent

You can read every quote he made on this and it all is basically a brag on our technology, while also trying to play both sides on the crazy cost.

I mean, this is a helpful list, but I don't think it's helping your case, Vaughan.

Oct. 3, 2017: ?Amazing job, and amazing job. So amazing that we?re ordering hundreds of millions of dollars of new airplanes for the Air Force, especially the F-35. Do you like the F-35? I said how does it do it in fights, and how do they do in fights with the F-35. He says we do very well, you can?t see it. Literally you can?t see. It?s hard to fight a plane you can?t see right? But that?s an expensive plane you can?t see. And as you probably heard we cut the price very substantially, something other administrations would never have done, that I can tell you.?

Nov. 7, 2017: ?Currently stationed in the vicinity of this peninsula are the three largest aircraft carriers in the world loaded to the maximum with magnificent F-35 and F-18 fighter jets.?

Nov. 23, 2017: ?The Navy, I can tell you, we?re ordering ships. With the Air Force, we?re ordering a lot of planes, in particular the F-35 fighter jet, which is, you know, almost like an invisible fighter. I was asking the Air Force guys, I said, how good is this plane? They said, well, sir, you can?t see it. I said, yeah, but in a fight ? you know, a fight ? like I watch in the movies ? they fight, they?re fighting. How good is this? They say, well, it wins every time because the enemy cannot see it. Even if it?s right next to it, it can?t see it. I said, that helps. That?s a good thing.?

March 22, 2018: ?That beautiful F-35. It?s stealth. You cannot see it. Is that correct? It better be correct, right??

March 23, 2018: ?And we?re adding a significant number of extremely advanced vessels. $10.2 billion for 90 F-35 aircraft. That?s the most sophisticated aircraft in the world ? jet fighters. Total stealth. They?re hard to find; they?re hard to see. Therefore, they?re hard to beat. It?s very tough to beat a plane when you can?t see it. It?s the most advanced in the world. $10.2 billion for 90 F-35.

July 19, 2018: ?Thank you Marilyn [Hewson], you?ve done a fantastic job. Thank you Marilyn. Hey Fred, she makes a plane you can?t see. It?s stealth. F-35. I hope you can?t see it at least, right? Great job.?

July 23, 2018: ?In case you hadn?t noticed there?s an F-35 stealth fighter outside and it?s beautiful. Parked on the South Lawn. I know it didn?t land on the South Lawn. It?s very special. Can?t see it! Where?s Lockheed? Marilyn. It?s incredible. I went to one of the pilots, I said, ?how do you compare this with a certain other plane from the enemy?? They said, ?well the difference is, when we fight they can?t see our plane.? I said, ?well that sounds like a pretty big advantage, right??

July 24, 2018: ?We?re ordering 147 new F-35 Lightning fighters. This is an incredible plane. It?s stealth; you can?t see it. So when I talk to even people from the other side, they?re trying to order our plane. They like the fact that you can?t see it. I said, ?How would it do in battle with your plane?? They say, ?Well, we have one problem: We can?t see your plane.? That?s a big problem. Stealth. Super Stealth. The best in the world. We make the best military equipment in the world. Also, remember this: jobs.?

As you can clearly see, Trump doesn't believe this thing is literally invisible. Not at all.

There were dozens of tv and radio gasbags with that take midway through his first season, comparing him and Elliott to Aikman and Smith.

Gare predicted a Trump response about NATO etc, and instead Trump decides to talk about another Nordic country's effective forest raking.
