If only Trump was Jean-Luc Picard and could say "Make it so" and it happened.

Small ray of hope?

Israel’s Channel 12 news channel is reporting that as per US president Donald Trump’s request, Israeli strikes on Iran are being halted.

pressed post too early

The channel also reports that a senior Israeli official said that if Hezbollah attacks Israeli towns, the IDF will attack southern suburbs in Beirut.

And earlier Iran’s top military command Khatam al-Anbiya central headquarters has said in a statement that “the cessation of armed forces operations is hereby announced”.

But they have warned in the same statement that if the attacks continue, “including in southern Lebanon,” Iran will respond “more severe and forceful than before".

News on that front not so good

Israel has struck southern Lebanon, according to its state-run national news agency (NNA). This comes on Monday, less than an hour after Iran said it suspended military operations against Israel – with the condition of ending attacks, including on Lebanon.

It's contagious. Iran and Israel have caught Trump's whiplash inducing announcement style.

"...subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in its way,”

Only one person's ignorance and stupidity is in danger of getting in its way.

Re the Meet The Press interview -
His behaviour at the end of really highlighted how he is increasingly unable to control his reactions and responses to anything he doesn't like. If she'd pressed him further it could potentially have turned quite nasty, I think. He needs to be similarly challenged every time he's interviewed. Not going to happen tho' .

I watched a lot of it and my goodness me he was absolutely puce in the face. He looked like he was about to explode.
And he is so so rude it is unbelievable.
I think the whole world wants more of this questioning of him just like she did. Brave woman.

I'd rather it were a case of a slightly older quotation:

"Sergeant, that hill president offends me. Make it go away."

One of Trump's parting shots during that interview? Did I mishear him?

"A country can never be great with a dishonest president"

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 08/06/2026 14:23

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

CNN have a live feed for the security at an NBA game at Maddison Square. Five blocks have been shut down.

Really odd. I can't remember there ever being a live news feed about security for a President watching an event.

Mamdani is expected to be there too. So a double whammy thing perhaps ? All the folk who want to harm Trump AND all the folk that want to harm Mamdani combined risk ? All in one of the busiest parts of the US.

I think it was "A country can never be great with a dishonest press".

And I nodded in agreement. Though I don't imagine he and I were thinking of quite the same press...Hmm

What the actual is Israel trying to achieve here?

Can they not for one month, minute, think clearly? Is Netanyahu actually in charge?

I will only believe this when it has actually happened....
Bibi will say anything to make Trump believe Trump calls the shots.
Now, when it comes to doing..... Trump does not count a bit.

He is trying to stay in power. He knows the second he’s not “fighting” something he is at risk so he’ll do anything he can to derail any sort of ceasefire/peace deal.

Trump's lapdog Repugs are out in force on the news channels blaming Biden for the screw worm reappearance in Texas.

However... this is from March 2025 when Elon and his DOGE toddlers were busy running up and down the corridors.

So this stopping military action lasted less than one hour.....
They really love to play up with us. There is really no other explanation. They just love leading the world.

I hate to be morbid, but kinda sounds like a 'death wish', oops I mean 'death watch' as far as Scrotus is concerned, doesn't it?

What I'm hoping for are loud booing for Scrotus and loud cheers for Mamdani. Over all Mamdani has an 18 point net-positive approval rating. Scrotus is down somewhere between -30 to -50 percentage points in NYC.

MushMonster · 08/06/2026 17:19

But even Bibi cannot believe he is going to be in power forever and he is heavily adding to his problems.
Today he ignores Trump and goes against his instructions. Tomorrow he asks for more weapons...... Trump may get fed up of this. Trump is ramping up the language when it comes to his dear Bibi.

It's the website not the building that's had Trumps name removed?

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 08/06/2026 19:34

Yes, but I am sad about the video with the cherry-picker.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 08/06/2026 19:38

And when I went to look, it is there as "The Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center"
in my browser, though on the website itself it is just "The Kennedy Center".
