They’re ̶p̶r̶o̶b̶a̶b̶l̶y̶ ̶ definitely going to do this in the future with Donald Trump, as they did with the Iraq war, generally, and as they did with the GOP in 2008. Our job is to burn their lifeboats this time before they can reach them.

Sure, it was a joke, or a “joke.” Sort of. Kidding on the square. But it was stupid, and it took place in the context of ■■■■■■■■ on the French for not standing at attention to the beat of our war drums for an ill-conceived and ill-executed invasion that they were correct to oppose. It was a pointless, tone-deaf poke in the eye to an ally, especially at a time when the French military (Ney called them “so-called ally, France”) was supporting us in Afghanistan. As a rep at the French embassy said at the time, "We are at a very serious moment dealing with very serious issues, and we are not focusing on the name you give to potatoes.” Hey–can’t you take a joke?

Yeah, that was back in 2003 when Donald Trump was voicing his loud, pointed, and astute opposition to the war.*
You know, before the war, according to Trump, the White House sent an official delegation to Trump tower to ask for advice about the Iraq war and he wisely counseled against the invasion.*
*These are all lies told by Donald Trump.
Nah, it was a joke. Just like this one.
Oh like Obama was really born in Kenya? That joke? That one really never gets old.

Did you find it?
Here’s the deal: Hillary Clinton is responsible for both birtherism and the Iraq war.

It was so funny seeing those protestors in front of the consulate destroying bottles of wine and other french stuff yelling obsenties. I just loved that experience trying to get a new passport
It was such a joke that Congress changed the name of French fries on capital hill.
Yup. Still funny.
That joke had legs.
Its almost like Trump hates American allies.
Trump prefers countries that aren’t socialist.
the good thing is Trump wont be President forever, so your allies will put up with it.
It reminds me how, as aggregate international views of the US have plummeted (as they did under George W. Bush, and as they have done under Trump), our beloved American wingnuts–previously so worried about our global status, previously so preoccupied with anxiety about other countries “laughing at us”–shift from: Yeah, well, they may not like us, but they respect us–and, well, **** the international community anyway!
They’re like some collective version of that ******* who shows up on the Internet forum in 2003, adds nothing, acts like a dick, and says: I didn’t come here to make friends! Besides, they like us more now in places like Russia!

They are supported by recorded history. It’s not up to me to prove publicly known facts.
And never shall France achieve Military parity again. Any scenario that brings the US military power down to their current level will be just as hard if not harder on them.
Being insulted is a personal reaction. I did not take the comments personally. What a said was that the comments were an insult to the country and, in my opinion, they were.
Why do you continue to try to make this personal?
