An excellent answer to Trump's tweet :-)




...does not include the Fake Washington Post, which is used as a “lobbyist” and should so REGISTER. If the P.O. “increased its parcel rates, Amazon’s shipping costs would rise by $2.6 Billion.” This Post Office scam must stop. Amazon must pay real costs (and taxes) now!



Every time you tweet NONSENSE, which is exactly 100% of the time & since you seem to be unable to hold your tongue... I will send you this reminder... I realize HISTORY, LITERATURE & THE HUMAN CONDITION is not your area of interest, but as Prez, it's kinda important...

evil people as this administration. Cy Tolliver was an evil MF'er, but I would prefer to have him as POTUS than this POS behind the desk now.

It is something he has done his entire adult life, sometimes intentionally, other times out of habit. Meanwhile, Mueller is not going to be distracted, so Trump's tricks won't work on him.

The rest of us, however, are in a constant state of disorientation, as we've never seen anything quite like this before.

It is so good to be King - and wield all that power against your enemies and adversaries.

Despite some arguably similar thoughts from Plato (and others), the clever turn of the phrase ("have something to say" vs. "have to say something" ) depends on the English language (the dual meanings of "have" ), there would be no exact Greek equivalent of this. More on this at http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=796

Though it is arguably appropriate to use a mistaken quote to address a mistaken thought. USPS does not lose money on Amazon shipments. And if USPS increased what they charge Amazon, Amazon would move more shipments to other carriers.

Ancient Coptic Greek is a dead language, similar to Ancient Egyptian Heiroglyphic writing.

There are vast differences between Ancient Coptic Greek (original Bible source) and Coptic Greek.

No one really knows how te words sound or what their exact translations are, but can try to come close.
