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.

@SerendipityJane

The problem is to coordinate a large scale S&R operation - especially over what is most definitely hostile territory - requires an insane amount of planning and ultimately rehearsed activities

Yep I'm aware, in part because many years ago in the course of my old day job I attended a lecture given by this guy:

Regardless of what info the Iranian's think they have with regard to procedures the less info of any sort that gets put out in the public domain the better, though a maybe indulging in a bit of missinformation might not be a bad thing.

There's also the whole issue of Next of Kin to consider.

Thanks for the link.

Always nice when someone with a major political/media voice wakes up to something most of us plebs have known for a decade.

Has AN apologised yet for the damage his support of Brexit has done?

This is the key sentendce

It is dawning on the Iranian regime that control of the Strait is an even more powerful global weapon than its ability to develop nuclear weapons.

If the Us manages to make nuclear weapons obsolete, will the world thank them ?

E2A: The rest of the article degenerates into a Starmer roast. Presumably to distract from the part one Andrew Neill has played in the UKs recent political history.

Lest we forget

And GB news. He needs to apologize for that.

On a lighter note. One of my favorite clips is Andrew Neil interviewing US right wing Ben Shapiro about his new book. Shapiro accused Neil of being a left wing BBC stooge.

" If only you knew how wrong you are Mr Shapiro", Neil quipped back.

That was a corker.

The US had lost the second they started the illegal war.

And I don't just mean the war.

Somebody brave has had to wake up the 🍊🌮, possibly around now.

Don't worry, his schedule today is full of Very Important Things, like golf 🤦🏻‍♀️ (for a change...) and avoiding the press.

He told NBC News in a separate phone interview Friday that the day’s events would not have an impact on any ceasefire talks and remarked that the U.S. is “at war.”
“No, not at all. No, it’s war. We’re in war,” Trump said.

Is it officially a war now for insurance purposes?

Well, he spoke...
I was getting used to him being quiet!

I thought it was not a war for congressional reasons. That pesky US constitution and all that.

If Trump is now saying it's a war, then Congress must act NOW. He is breaking the constitution.

Shall I put the kettle on while we wait ?

As long as fall? It’s been 5 weeks they’ve lost at least half a dozen fighter jets, a bunch of tankers, an irreplaceable intelligence/comms jet, damaged search and rescue helicopters, set fire to an aircraft carrier, if the rumour are to be believed a number of the ME air force bases are unusable and stuffed up the entire global oil supply. All to an enemy they have completely destroyed and has no weapons.

The rate they are going the Iranians may have stormed the WH by midsummer.

And to add insult to injury the latest Iranian LEGO propaganda video is definitely going to put everyone’s mind back on the Epstein files.

Lego are formidable at protecting their IP. How Ironic would it be if it was a Danish company that ended this war by bankrupting the Iranian Government in the courts over unlicensed Lego vids ?

And yes, I know the Lego patent has expired, but that does not stop the Lego lawyers. They have copyrights everywhere.

@RafaistheKingofClay 😂😂👏
Couldn't put it any better!

The US Constitution was nice while it lasted.

@RedTagAlan I thought you were trying to debate Winnie the Pooh and his friend on the 'other thread'. I was there under another username.
I wanted to sit the OP & friend down to explain how a debate works. Yes, you can quote a news article, but for the love of the wee baby cheeses, explain your views on the subject, how it fits into the context, LISTEN to what others are saying, be prepared to learn something new, and most of all, be willing to review your stance.

You deserve more than a cup of tea. Unless you're firing up the kettle for a hot whisky toddy?

Keep him away from any buttons

Glory be to God??? Gee, that sounds a lot like the cry of "Allahu Akbar" shouted by terrorists prior to their acts of violence. Prayer becoming blasphemy.

No, no, no...Glory be to God Donald J Trump.

There, fixed his dodgy punctuation! for you.

So does 48 hours make it Easter Sunday. Shouldn't christians be busy in church that day?

I luffs lego. Not sure I was supposed to enjoy the video, but hey, it's not like it's a war or anything...

@SerendipityJane

Fingers crossed, but I think it's highly unlikely that either the DoJ or Cannon is going to pay the least attention to Jamie Raskin (D-MD) beyond the DoJ's reply. And unfortunately I don't think he's going to garner much GOP support w/in the Judiciary Cmte in support of his request.

But I do applaud him trying to get the document turnover out in the open.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vineyard where the grapes of wrath are stored.

It's a banger 😀
