Donald Trump to Pakistani Prime Minister: I Love You, Bruh!
The election of Donald Trump was like the ending of The Sixth Sense:
A shocking, sad turn of events that makes you realize you’re in the hands of a master manipulator.
The events of the three weeks since Hillary Clinton’s concession have been like a
A succession of increasingly brazen middle fingers to logic and common sense.
We’re sure you’ve heard about Trump feuding with the cast of Hamilton.
And of course there’s the thoroughly justified outrage over Trump’s staff appointments, which include a white nationalist (Steve Bannon), the guy who financed the Entourage movie (Steven Mnuchin), and a man so corrupt that he would need to notify his parole officer if he accepts the job (David Petraeus).
But from the time he first announced his candidacy, one of the biggest concerns about President-elect Trump had to do with his complete lack of foreign policy experience and his inflammatory comments about the governments and citizens of other nations.
Trump’s recent telephone conversation with Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif provided the perfect example of why his unique combination of bloviating self-aggrandizement and shameless glad-handing may not be the right tone for the geopolitical stage
As you may already know, US-Pakistani relations have been tense for decades.
In addition to the fact that Pakistan has been accused of knowingly harboring terrorists (Osama bin Laden was killed there in 2011), the nation is forever at odds with India over the disputed Kashmir territory, and many fear that the situation could erupt in a nuclear conflict.
Needless to say, it’s an incredibly delicate situation, so naturally Trump is handling the situation with all the tactful grace of one of his Rosie O’Donnell tweets.
“Ready and willing to play any role that you want me to play to address and find solutions to the outstanding problems,” Trump reportedly told Sharif, a man who could potentially bring about the nuclear apocalypse.
He reportedly added:
“You are a terrific guy. You are doing amazing work which is visible in every way.”
To understand the bizarre nature of this situation, it helps to think of the situation as a game of Risk.
The US has gone to great lengths to ensure that Pakistan is aware that it maintains strong ties to India, while Pakistan has been allying itself with China.
Basically, instead of taking his turn to roll the dice, Trump just upended the game board, which was no easy feat with his tiny, tiny hands.

Bill Gothard: Male Plaintiffs Come Forward in Sexual Assault Case Against Duggars" Minister
Back in March of 2014, Institute for Basic Life Principles founder Bill Gothard resigned in disgrace amidst allegations that he had sexually abused dozens of young women, many of them former employees.
In October, five of those alleged victims filed a lawsuit against Gothard in an Illinois civil court.
To the surprise of many, Gothard has stood his ground and refused to settle out of court.
Even after 10 more victims came forward last month, Gothard continued to vaguely admit to some sort of impropriety, but maintained that he was not guilty of any criminal offense.
Earlier today, Radar Online delivered another crushing blow to the reputation of the man who’s best known as the former minister of the Duggar family, reporting that three young men have come forward claiming they were repeatedly sexually molested by Gothard beginning when they were as young as 13.
With the alleged victim total at 18, the plaintiff’s attorney and many in the media are comparing Gothard’s scandal to that of former TV legend Bill Cosby.
Both men admit to behaving inappropriately, but insist that they have not done anything that should necessitate the involvement of the law.
“I was very wrong in holding hands, giving hugs and touching their hair or feet,” Gothard said in a recent statement.
“I was also wrong in making statements that caused emotional turmoil and confusion. My guilty is compounded by my hypocrisy of requiring standards for others but not following them myself.”
Thus far, the Duggar family has refused to comment publicly on the matter.

Bill Gothard: 10 More Women Accuse Duggars" Minister of Sexual Assault
In October of 2015, Institute of Basic Life Principles Bill Gothard was sued by 5 women who claim they were sexually assaulted by the disgraced minister either while they were under his employ, or after they’d come to him seeking help.
Gothard – who is best known as the former reverend and “spiritual mentor” of the Duggar family – has drawn unfavorable comparisons to Bill Cosby, as he allegedly avoided criminal charges by using coercion tactics to prevent the women from pressing charges until the statute of limitations for such crimes had expired.
Also like Cosby, Gothard’s hubris got the better of him, as he recently attempted a “triumphant” return to public life after lying low for more than a year.
Needless to say, it didn’t go well.
Gothard was bombarded by sexual assault allegations after launching social media accounts that he quickly deleted.
Now, the New York Daily News that despite his attempt to retreat from the spotlight, Gothard is still attracting plenty of negative attention, as ten more accusers have come forward this week with claims that they were assaulted by Gothard.
The women have filed suit against Gothard, and court documents obtained by the Daily News contain shocking and graphic allegations about Gothard and other church officials forcing themselves on women and teenage girls.
Gothard has declined to get into specifics, but the unmarried 81-year-old made the following statement when contacted by the Washington Post:
“Never in my life have I touched a girl sexually. I’m shocked to even hear that. That really is not true.”
In this latest suit, the alleged victims are seeking only $ 50,000 in damages – but Gothard’s legal woes might continue to get worse going forward.
“It would not surprise me if law enforcement got involved in this case,” says attorney David Gibbs III, whl is representing the 10 plaintiffs.
Gothard has refused to comment on the possiblity of facing criminal charges.
