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.

Someone needs to take his phone away - it's only about 7am he's got the whole day to get thro'

I think they tried hence the earlier message, he must have demanded it back.

I wonder if it will stay up

I think the networks are confused if ok to post it,

@Littledrummergirl

Could that 2nd rescued pilot be from another plane shot down that we didn't know about

Occam's razor would suggest no.

From images provided by the Iranians we know the USAF lost an F-15E, we even know it was a Lakenheath aircraft and we know it had a crew of two - 1 pilot and 1 WSO.

Two crewmembers rescued....

Something I saw earlier and wanted to double check. I found it in CBS:

"CIA was deeply involved in rescue of stranded airman from Iran, White House official says
The CIA was deeply involved in the mission to rescue the weapons systems officer from the downed F-15E, a senior Trump administration official told CBS News.
Prior to locating the airman, the CIA launched a deception campaign, spreading word inside Iran that U.S. forces had already found him and were moving him on the ground for exfiltration out of the country.
While the deception operation was ongoing, the agency used its capabilities to track the crew member in a mountain crevice.
The CIA shared the crew member's exact location with the Pentagon and the White House. The president ordered an immediate rescue mission, with the CIA continuing to provide real-time information."

WTAF. I mean really, WTAF.

So when the protests were going on in Iran, the Iranian government predictably blamed "external agitators and the CIA". It's the go to for authoritarian governments.

AND NOW THE TRUMP ADMIN IS BOASTING ABOUT IT (wrt pilots)

So now the Iranian Government will say " See, we told you", and start rounding up and likely execute people. Because there is no way they can let this lay.

And we don't even know if the Trump admin are just "making it up" for boast points.

OK, after that last 'truth'....what is a superlative for 'batshit crazy'? Batshitiest craziest? Bigly batshit crazy? I know! Totally 'fuckin'' nuts!!!

If the GOP wasn't the majority in both houses I seriously think we'd be looking at (another) impeachment. High crimes and misdemeanors has been interpreted to include 'actions that endanger the nation' due to insanity. Of course, the question is whether the Senate would have the required 67 votes. At this point I have a feeling there are any number of GOP who'd rather have JD in the driver's seat.

Unfortunately, Congress cannot '25th' him. That must be initiated by the VP & Cabinet. Congress only approves it.

Perhaps the treatment didn't go quite as planned.

Someone obviously got the drugs mixed up.

Donny Bonespurs sounds like he's gone to the zoo!

ARGO

In regards to that latest Truth post: how can anyone think he's in control when he's reacting like test? Also, why would Iran cave to this when when he bottled it before? He's just making himself look more and more impotent (Sorry for the image!)

Depends on who planned it.

Attached is a photo of trumps doctor. He looks familiar to me.

But what they don't have are minesweeper ships to sweep the gulf for mines.

Or healthcare for a good proportion of the population, including veterans.

Yeah. But if they had healthcare less people would have to join up to get it. And if the VA was too good, people would not stay in the forces.

(Disclaimer, my understanding is that the VA is excellent for many.)

Delurking to share this article, which says it all really americanpulse.substack.com/p/special-report-your-neighbour-canada

Seriously, how can the rest of the US government let this insane fucking nutter carry on as President. He's totally lost the plot.

I agree if she’s done those things it is risky but I might have done a few things the state department could twist into interpreting that way if they wanted and I don’t support Iran. I think a few of us might be guilty of promoting Iranian propaganda and voicing the view that the current administration is evil.

In this country a Prime Minister's wife got a great deal of bad press for saying that she was able to understand why someone might become a suicide bomber.

Not that she thought it a good idea; that she could understand why someone might do it.

How dare she be able to see another person's point of view instead of simply condemning it out of hand?

Comprehension is not condoning.

I need to add this as a tagline whenever I post on the 'other' threads.

Nah, it's a useful moron filter.

One of the advantages of not being dim is the ability to discriminate where you deploy your resources. Unlike flagshaggermaggernauts who shout at pigeons.

"Trump says deal with Iran possible by Monday - report
In an interview with Fox News, the US president, Donald Trump, said he believes he can reach a deal with Iran by Monday. We will bring you quotes from the interview on this when we have them."
Guardian

Bingo.

So predictable.

Yep, he’s absolutely lost it.

Unless they 25th him rapidly, I can see him ordering a nuclear strike.

I think if the colonel had been captured and put on Iranian TV, Chump would have ordered a nuclear strike.

I aint very clever, and I have come across loads of really clever debate opponents, But that might be because I am not clever enough to know they are not clever.

I usually think of them as dishonest. Bad faith debaters. Never underestimate I say.

Except Trump of course. He is just plain dumb as feck.
