Trump to go to Saudi Arabia to give a speech on Islam
Why not? It's not as if the rest of the Middle East doesn't hate us. So guys, between 0 and the Crusades II: The Crusading, how many shoes will be thrown at Trump?
I'm betting 15.

x6Considering how many times the GOP fucks shit up every time they're in office, I'd beg to differ.
EDIT:
#BREAKING: Trump will give a speech on Islam in Saudi Arabia, @AFP is reporting
Who's going to throw the first shoe??

New Survey coming this weekend!I suspect the speech would be written to be very direct and powerful (in a very hawkish Republican manner), and with the agenda of putting the Saudi's in a position where they will be forced to deal with extremism. Trump will forget this and go completely off script.

Si Vis Pacem, Para Perkele- Sinclair Broadcast Group: Well, that's extremely worrisome, and yet another reason to hate Pai.
- Education: Worst thing is evidence that shit does'nt work won't stop De Vos. And the Arizona guy is a fucking idiot.
Trump's visit to Israel may be canceled
Things are moving faster than light-speed.
I haven't had time to listen to all of my podcasts, let alone keep up with the news.
New Survey coming this weekend!

Not that I thought Trump was likely to succeed in bringing peace to the Middle East, but this kind of thing can't really help.
