Schrödinger's Strait - Trump Thread #162A

The Strait of Schrödinger remains open and closed, safe and dangerous, insurable and uninsurable, blockaded and free.

"You put your tanker in, you put your tanker out
In, out, in, out, you sail it all about
You do the Straits of Hormuz and you turn around
That’s what it’s all about!"

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Got overwhelmed by the 🍊💩's idiot fuckery last time and missed out thread #161 so have designated this one as fake #162...A

I've got GAD as well. You're right I need to step away from the news. I'm getting so angry at the sight of his moronic face. I hope King Charles puts the orange shit in his place.

As if! Hard pushed to keep his brother (Andrew) in line until forced to. Prob has some gold for Trump to get his attention

BruceAndNosh · 26/04/2026 00:57

I think Trump decides what his policy of the day /hour is by throwing a dice. It seems so random and inconsistent

AcrossthePond55 · 26/04/2026 00:58

I think that Scrotus is going to attempt to negotiate a 'deal' with KC3 regarding the UK sending ships to Hormuz or whatever. So KC3's bingo card can just have "That's not something I can do". "I don't think you understand how a constitutional monarchy works", "I reign but I do not rule" and "Oh dear, look at the time! I'm sorry but we must be going" repeated over and over.

The Bingo game I'd love to play is the one that has the card with what KC and QC say to each other once they've retired for the night! But I suppose that one might just be repeated "Fuck me! Can you believe that twat?".

Interested in this thread?

Trump rushed from White House correspondents' dinner after suspected gunshots heard

Trump evacuated.

So what else is new

tobee · 26/04/2026 02:16

Yeah love that Trump, Patel, Miller et al get evacuated and the journalists and media are left to crouch down. Ds says people chanting USA when the coast is clear (?) and now going to continue with Trump back in the room. Puts the kibosh on Dh theory that it was staged to get Trump out of the event seemingly

Lalgarh · 26/04/2026 02:32

There's also rumours that Kash Patel has been sacked. He left the building shortly after the incident

As soon as I saw what had happened my first thought was how soon will Kash Patel get sacked! To the extent I wondered whether it was staged for an excuse. Because I wouldn't put anything past the 🍊💩, two hots in one sympathy from the base and sack Patel.

Hmmmm. Hang on while I fashion a natty beret out of Bacofoil

Careful now.

I t really should be vintage Bacofoil, pre 1993.Pre EU, "Made in Britain" stuff. The EU changed it to act as a receiver and not a blocker. So post "93 Bacofoil feeds messages from Brussels into your brain. Don't believe me ?. Look at the Bacofoil website. In 2015 they were bought by Cofresco Frischhalteprodukte GmbH & Co. A German EU controlled company. See, Bacofoil was Brexit ready. They don't even try to hide it.

Avoid Chinese made foil of course. That both receives and transmits from/to Beijing. Mine is made from Chinese Glad brand. But, and here is the clever bit, I made mine inside out. Shiny side in, dull side out. That confuses them.

This is all true. I am wearing my foil hat just now. And it told me.

Ohh, make your hat single skin too if you live near 5G, for obvious reasons.

Hmmm. Suspect from California.

I suspect "Reichstag fire" and enabling act will be all over the web. Well, It is here now. I just wrote it.

I doubt the Mentalist "entertainment" saw that coming!

My first thought was someone saying " Who had the bright idea to put party poppers on the Fox news table ?"

Is it terrible that my first thought on getting a text about this was, 'Hmm his ratings are down.'

Then reading the story, 'How the hell would a real gunman get in?'

Trump security saves the day, no one killed. Wonder what his ratings will do now.🧐

But I'm a suspicious bugger.

AcrossthePond55 · 26/04/2026 04:48

Sigh. Another big nothingburger.

Interesting idea about J Edgar Boozer getting fired over this. I can't see it at this point, I think he's still doing everything he's told.

The shooter will probably be in court tomorrow for an arraignment.

This is the 3rd failed attempt by an individual. But these days I think a 'lone gunman' really doesn't have a chance. I think it would take an organized and carefully executed plot by a group.

dapsnotplimsolls · 26/04/2026 04:53

I've just seen the news. How very convenient!

A Hotel guest apparently. With a handgun, knifes.....and a SHOTGUN !

Sky news reporter said he walked to the hotel with a colleague, they showed their tickets and were allowed entry. He implied there didn't seem to be much security.

'This is why I need a ballroom!'

FFS.

Also, comparing himself to Lincoln ...

Whoever you are thanks for trying 😞

Some reporters have gathered outside the California home of the suspect, identified by multiple news outlets including the Associated Press as Cole Tomas Allen

According to local reporters, he is a 31-year-old teacher from Torrance, California.

I see there’s thanks to the US SS - of course there should be.

Just baffled how easily it seems to get this point - baffled yet again tbh.
