They ALWAYS stall until you give them everything they really want.

Trump’s massive ego led him to falsely believe that he could “deal” with religious fanatics. Now they have backed him into a corner in which he either goes all in on a military regime change (which violates his base’s core principle of America first) or sulks away in abject humiliation.

The Artlessness of the No Deal.

I wasn’t being political, I just love the movie and one liners.

And I’d say every 3 to 4 months, one of us starts a chat referencing The Sandlot, Forest Gump, Xmas Vacation or Princess Bride and all know the one liner
Funny as hell
