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.

Thankfully had a non-Donny day yesterday - bliss!

just saw this - the kid's faces are like "what the eff is he talking about?!"

Madness.

@walllaw I suspect the first two words were enough... "Trump rambles"

🤦🏻‍♀️

It's like explaining a manual typewriter.
Where do you put the paper to get it to print? 🤯

Wealth attained because his father was President and allowed monetisation and grifting to enrich the family.

And it's not from selling Trump phones. They take deposits yes, but still no phones.

Make a new word ?

Trambles

He is off an a tramble again. Jesus,what a trambler. Stop your trambling and eat your dinner.

Does that work :-)

Had to turn off BBC as they were doing a report on Vz oil imports into Mississippi. Raging at the thought of how much the US is benefitting from it.

The last couple of paragraphs are chilling.

Thanks for this.

Thought Vance was supposed to be 'leading' negotiations with Iran? He's schmoozing in Hungary today.

If we all survive until Sunday, there may be some good news for Europe if Orbán is finally shown the door. (Again not holding my breath)

Vance in Budapest: Viktor Orbán’s last throw of the MAGA dice.
U.S. interventions by President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have so far failed to reverse the Hungarian leader’s flagging fortunes.

Apparently, Israel will be hitting railways today. They have issued a warning to Iranian civilians not to use or be near railways today.

Whatever Trump decides TACO's about Iran, Netanyahu will carry on regardless. (Adding to his impressive list of war crimes.)

It's odd how muslim countries are so happy to let Israel do what they want.

So if Orbán loses, which is hopefully beyond question, and then protests that the election was rigged, which he almost certainly would, will Trump and Vance attempt to help him hang on to power?
That'd be an interesting little diversion for next weekend.

Is that not what this war is about ? Because Iran ain't happy ?

Sort of. I forgot what it is about.

Very 2026 to spend the day essentially counting down to some war crimes.

Israel has nuclear warheads and Türkiye is neutral with US storage of nuclear warheads.

We do not know yet. They have not fully on decided what it is for, why or when it will end......

By some misfortune I listened to Ferrari on LBC today - actually he seems reasonable on the Iran war.

There was a caller though, a very angry caller, who absolutely supports Trump’s actions and is angry Starmer isn’t backing him but instead making us look weak and a laughing stock on the world stage. He very much reminded me of hotel protestors I get to see on my counter activities- he absolutely thought that 90 million Iranians will be happier without electricity and water and are asking for this to happen to help overthrow the regime.

Thos was a guy from the U.K. so they walk amongst us here as well.

I am not suggesting they engage militarily.

However I also wonder what their extremists are making of all this ? I would be surprised if they are rallying around the pro-Israel stance (because helping the US is helping Israel).

There wouldn't be a second (third?) series if there weren't some extremists in training from all of the US/Israeli military atrocities somewhere.

I wouldn't put it that way.

Passing through my feed 😀

I can only speak what I see and judge on outcomes.

the famous 'Blitz Spirit' argument?
