The King of Crazytown Can't Control The Chaos - Trump Thread #159

[Spandauer]

“Whether you’re a military analyst or a political analyst, whether you’re in the Democratic or Republican party, there’s a reality here. Donald Trump has met the moment of truth. The kind of fictional life that he’s led and evoked over the last four or five decades has now been unmasked as a deadly drama. It’s going to cost the lives of so many people. It’s going to devastate the US economy and the regional economy. It’s going to set back America and its standing in the world. It’s a horrific moment.”
Larry Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota.

Heaven Obi-Wan Kenobi help us. You're our only hope.

Allo Allo.

Just after he said him and his wife do not get one.

"With Macron, it got more personal, with Trump claiming the French president is treated "very badly" by his wife."

"He's still recovering from the right to the jaw," he joked, provoking laughter at what is usually a solemn commemoration."

Ahh, it was an Easter Faith event. All the evangelicals.

"Trump, on the other hand, was depicted as almost divine, his spiritual adviser Paula White comparing him to the crucified and resurrected Christ.

"You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused," she said.

"It's a familiar pattern that our Lord and Saviour showed us.
"But it didn't end there for him and it didn't end there for you," she added."

I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP.

Hell, he can barely pronounce words in understandable English. Let's not expect too much of him when it comes to faking a French accent.

Thanks...

Not sure what routes they'll takeTBH, I've started to lose track of who will allow overflight on actual operational missions and who will not.

..I think one rumour is they've already done some of their ex-UK missions by routing out south west over the Bay of Biscay/West Atlantic, and then turning to nip through the Straits of Gib, and carry on east along centre of the Med, using international airspace (the 12 mile offshore limit etc ) until they go feet dry over Israel....

They seem to have done similar mid Med routes for missions directly out of the States using B-2s...

All the above requires a fair bit of tanker support...

I think the tankers were "practicing" quite recently.

@CaveMum Nice, sunny day here - how are the skies by you? 🌞
Yes, I know it's not subtle, but it's the best I can muster

New reporting on MS NOW: Trump has told Pam Bondi she will soon be removed from her position.

Dementia and Alzheimer's is though. TDS isn't.

he must know how the world will party when he dies, I think that’s why he seems determined to blow it up.

i think Camilla could take him. Hide a
poisonous dart in her cigarette and there she blows 😆

I'd think they'd be more likely to veer east over the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, &/or the Czech Republic for any launches from the UK or Germany as none of that airspace is closed (yet).

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Oops.🤦🏻‍♀️

It's really something when the most sycophantic are just not good enough.

Replaced by a pals son just out of law school ?

It is ironic, isn't it?
If we were to get together the best script writers in the world to come up with a commedy about the US government, we would not get anything better than this!

Sadly, a law never stopped Trump from doing anything! He is very likely to take US off NATO. And most definitively, he is stopping any aid to Ukraine. We are really on our own. Better to get our head around it. Let's go full on wild and make our own weapons, instead of buying from Trump. That will infuriate him quite a bit.

I agree in that I'm sure that would be the preferred and most efficient route ( things like great circle routings @RedTagAlan mentioned).

What's going on in reality and in the world where it looks like they might be increasingly vulnerable to diplomatic clearances being pulled at short notice who knows?

A few sources have it that at least one B-2 op came eastbound US> Iran return on what would be for that route a very inefficient southerly track a few days back (tankers out of the Azores) so there must be some concerns about not routing over Europe, at least for some flights.

I'd heard that as a rumour just this morning. Apparently unhappy over her handling of the Epstein 'problem'. I'm remembering how fast it went from rumour to reality for Noem. I think the firing will be a done deal by sundown. For Scrotus, having 'beauty' doesn't win out over absolute obedience.

Potential replacement is Lee Zelden, a MAGA Trump loyalist. No surprise there.

Per Google AI:

Yes, Lee Zeldin is widely considered a MAGA loyalist and close ally of Donald Trump. As the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) appointed by Trump in 2025, Zeldin focuses on deregulating energy and rolling back climate policies, aligning with "America First" goals.

Rumours Tulsi Gabbard will be next.

The problem is that the barrel of even worse people seems bottomless. It would be nice if some of them would turn on him once out, but it won't be Bondi as she knows she'll very likely need a pardon

Will she join Marjorie Taylor Greene in support of Epstein victims, or try to form her own team?

Funny how it's always the fault of the "wimmin", no chance the common problem is the 🍊🌮 himself?

Imagine being a teacher and every day having to discipline children who are doing less than Trump gets away with.

Much more chillingly, imagine what sort of adults that will produce.

I guess he hires people partly based on how easily & to what degree they can be compromised, used as scapegoats who cant hit back without making things worse for themselves etc.

He has Melania to help I suppose. Is it seven she says she speaks ?

I am Scottish. I don't speak any internationally recognized languages.

Yes those 'wimmin' must have seen something awful, and it is, in the files.

@JoshLymanSwagger

So is it that he's getting tired of having to work with women who apparently aren't subservient enough?

Noem replaced by Mullin
Bondi possibly replaced by Zelden
Possibly Gabbard replaced by ??

They actually seem pretty subservient. I think the problem is the 'women' part.

I notice she is wearing her wee cross in that article photo. Gotta be an evangelical.

I remember something about the Hilary campaign planning to "smear" Bernie as an atheist back in the day. US politics is weird with religion. And then they elect Trump and compare him to Jesus.

Does the US have any "openly" atheist politicians, or are they in the closet ? Or even secular ones ?
