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

“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.

Wow.
She must be trying to raise support and positioning herself for a run in the next general.

"This is evil"

It reads like a confession. Or in other words "I was only obeying orders."

RafaistheKingofClay · 05/04/2026 21:14

Of all the things that have happened in the last 14 months MTG being the voice of reason for the GOP has been the thing that has taken me by surprise the most. I’d have put money if her sucking up to Trump and not realising what was coming.

That’s not to say she is actually reasonable for the most part but quite a lot of the GOP haven’t realised he’s poison.

Interesting that the Dems have mostly just chosen to roll over too.

I saw that a Iranian condition for a cease fire is regime change in the US.

Ach. Roman soldiers were too knacked from building walls and roads.

I mean come on. what did the Romans ever do for us ?

They brought us fancy hats.🪭 Not original, of course,🙄 they were mass produced, repros of Spartan helmets.

The Spartans were a mad bunch of lads back in the day, but I dont think they made it to Britain so we had to wait for the Romans to bring Greek chic to the Celtic.

The Romans loved indigenous cultures.

Iran is active again; currently attacking Kuwait. Rinse and repeat.
If the deal maker for Iran is regime change in the US, I can't wait to see the Lego movie version of their demand.

They are masters at trolling Trump. I'll give them that!

logicisall · 05/04/2026 22:17

Was it this regime change or a different one @Justdancevance ?

Iran's South African embassy posted images of a recent meeting of the US miliary top brass and crossed out some of them, though not exactly aligning with the sackings reported so far.
The caption read, “The regime change happened successfully,” along with a mention of “MAGA”, Trump's slogan Make America Great Again, and a laughing emoji.

Has any MSM commented on the "Praise be to Allah" mockery of Islam?

That was mentioned along with the description of his post as "foul mouthed" on the 6 music news, this evening.

Yeah. But not too many at once. or they got terrible indigestion. The celts were just too chewy.

A place can be vibrant and shit as well. The sanitised story is just as truthful as the gossip, Suetonius being a big hateful feck turd of a gossip who would probably be on GB News.

Deva Victrix has the most complete Roman wall in the UK but is known for its mock Tudor architecture built in the Victorian era. (Chester).

Quote : "A place can be vibrant and shit as well."

Very true. And applies well to Iran.

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

Thank you for that article, @Wednesdaysotherchild, I thought it was really interesting. Sending it to all the Canadians I know!

That is delicious, if true!
ETA: Sorry, just realised it is Iranian trolling. Brilliant!

Frankly, it's the only way the US can end this war

The irony is that Trump thought Iran would crumble if its supreme leader was bombed to kingdom come, because he thought Iran is a one man show.....

NB - I am not advocating anything. It's just an observation.

I liked it!!
The whole world will follow Canada's approach. Carney has set the standard.

Yes, it was an excellent article, thanks for that. So few statesmen, how refreshing to read about one.

Any plans for a bingo card on the ceasefire deal?

DancingFerret · 06/04/2026 09:24

Talking about Trump's reaction to the Iranians' take on his ceasefire deal, a newscaster just said, "He seems to be bewildered..."

Bewildered is exactly what he is; his predecessor's mental state was the subject of much media speculation, but at least he was malleable and capable of being contained.

It beggars belief an unrestrained and incoherent lunatic is in charge of one of the most powerful countries in the world.

Expert on Sky News says plan will be 'acceptable words' that will give Trump an offramp but realistically nothing will have changed both within Iran and re the SoH.
The response from both parties will be interesting.

Absolutely not holding my breath.
(Been there, done that, got the t-shirt)

Prediction markets tracking the likelihood that President Donald Trumpcould be removed from office under the 25th Amendment saw a steady climb this weekend, reflecting heightened public speculation as the Iran war intensifies and the president's recent statements draw widespread scrutiny.
On Kalshi, one of the largest regulated prediction platforms, trading volume rose as users bet on whether Cabinet‑level action to declare the president unfit might occur.
The increase comes at a moment of global crisis, with the Iran war reshaping U.S. foreign policy and raising questions about decision‑making at the highest levels of government.
