    The problem I see is that there were no exclamation points whatsoever. An exclamation point makes every statement true, even in the face of facts or any semblance of logic.

    "DO NOT CONGRATULATE!!" would have totally done the trick.

    I thought the problem was all the syllables in "congratulate." How is he supposed to read that? It should have said "DO NOT SAY NICE THINGS ABOUT WIN!!"

    Great point, bravo! I think I might have it:

    "NOT A BIGLY WIN!!! - now go enjoy taco Tuesday!"

    I don't know about y'all, but this whole thing has me shook to the corps.

    Well, I remember when he did it, and I understood why he did it, so I'm not making that argument.

    Obama had every right to make a call like that to a fellow G8 head of state, and it was a given for the sake of decorum. He also did it for Erdogan and Netanyahu and no one should think it strange. I realize Trump and decorum aren't words often used in the same sentence, but no amount of cognitive dissonance can make a rational case that he's not permitted to make the same gesture.

    Your memory must be good. Did Putin just mess with the presidential election and attack our closest ally just before Obama called to congratulate Putin?

    Perfect example of the difference between Obama and trump... and where trump's action and justification of his action directly contradicts his own State Department...
