Did everyone see Trump pretending he’s a hero? > **[Gun-toting Trump posts extraordinary new threat to Iran: ‘No more Mr Nice Guy!’](https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-posts-extraordinary-picture-holding-090213065.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall)** > > President Donald Trump issues fresh social media threat with mocked-up picture taking aim at Tehran (and “no more Mr. Nice Guy” because up to this point his defining feature is how _nice_ he is. Fuck outta here) That rifle weighs somewhere around 8-10lbs, I doubt Trump could even hold it steady much less do anything with it. But if he wants to strap one on and get airdropped into the sands of Persia, I wish him all the best in his short journey. At the very least we’ll get an amusing Lego rap video out of it from Iran. ---

Iran locates him, briefly thinks about his value as a political hostage, and immediately puts him on a first class flight back to the US with a note pinned to his jacket - “Misplaced world leader: Please return to White House ASAP.” ---

**Trump and the Giant Orange** Said Senator John Kennedy of Trump: > Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) told [Fox News](https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/fox-news)’ [Sean Hannity](https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/sean-hannity) on Wednesday that he’d taken away a few lessons from the U.S. conflict with Iran, including one colorful assessment of [Donald Trump](https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/donald-trump). > > One lesson learned was that “whether you like him or not, any fair-minded person would have to conclude that President Trump has oranges the size of beach balls,” Kennedy claimed. Somebody has to task AI with making an image of a fruit bowl in the Oval Office with giant oranges in it. Or maybe a movie poster in the style of _James and the Giant Peach_. Kennedy went on, extemporizing weirder and weirder: > Kennedy went on to praise Trump as being “tough as a pine nut.” > > Then it got even weirder. > > “It’s occurred to me that in defense of America, he will eat your liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti,” he added — a reference to fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter from “The Silence of the Lambs,” whom Trump has repeatedly [praised in the past](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/anthony-hopkins-donald-trump-hannibal_n_66977ee4e4b076f190eab9e5). > **[GOP Sen.

Someone doesn’t know the difference between having big brass balls and being utterly reckless. The dude with brass balls understands the risks being taken, feels the weight of those risks, and does the right thing despite knowing that if it all goes wrong, he will bear that weight until his dying day. The other guy just doesn’t give a fig about the consequences and who it might hurt. ---

It will take generations before any country will respect us again. Unless Trump completely destroys the US which he is well on the way to doing.

> [@enipla](#): > > Impeached, or dies a natural death of hamberders. Apparently King Henry 1st of the UK perished after a surfeit on lampreys (an eel-like fish) - while I have never eaten a lamprey, I have eaten eel. I dont really enjoy eel, especially. I have also eaten “hamberders”\* twice in my life, once age 11, the other time age 26. Neither time was I impressed. But perhaps Trump and I differ on food choices, to some extent. \* Macdonalds. I am capable of making actual hamburgers, rolls, and suitable sauce all from scratch which by far surpase my memories of those two occasions. ---

I am capable of making actual hamburgers, rolls, and suitable sauce all from scratch which by far surpase my memories of those two occasions. I’ll have a ‘gut bomb’ when I’m too busy to cook. Today I’m making stir fry. Trump has some of the best chefs in the world at his beck and call. Apparently he prefers McD’s. No pickles, extra ketchup. If I was one of his chefs, I would be quite pissed off. If I was a SS agent that had to do McD’s runs, I would be similarly pissed. He bought McD’s for some football team. He thinks he has class. ---
