We’re not done.
No way Individual 1 will let this go.
Not as long as it’s keeping impeachment off the front page.
What kills me is the way the pundit-sphere is meticulously analyzing every nuance of trump’s behavior WRT intentions/goals/agenda as though it were anything but pure DISTRACTION. He has no goals (not past today) or agenda except to stay in office while staying in the headlines. He doesn’t have the slightest idea what is going on, what he has done, or what the implications of it are past the current moment. He is abysmally ignorant, and yet even the MSM are still treating him like a normal [del]president[/del] human being and analyzing the turds he’s dropping as though he is making policy and not just one BM after another.
Just found this column that makes my point. Would that more journalists will jump on board.
The Trump We Did Not Want to See
When are we going to stop trying to rationalize the irrational?
“All is Well!” tweets the One in Charge.
I KNOW I can’t be only one thinking of Kevin Bacon at the end of Animal House
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDAmPIq29roI really wish one of the Democratic candidates would say “Iran, if you’re listening, maybe you should hack into the IRS and release Mr. Trump’s tax returns…”.
I’m sure republicans would be cool with that, right? I mean especially if they were just joking and all.
Yes. The pundits everywhere will engage in all of this “analysis” of Trump’s actions in order to fabricate gratuitous content for their broadcasts, when in reality all we actually have in the Oval Office is a five-year-old who doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing, and that’s all there is to it, and that’s really what they should be saying.
Ex-ACT-ly!!
If we can’t respect the person, we should still respect the office that he has so utterly debased and corrupted.
This is a sensible point. But…
Irrespective of all things Trump, I sometimes wonder if we might do well to have less “respect” for the office. For all the mudslinging in politics, I think there are relatively few instances of presidents really being questioned directly, with data and held accountable for their policies.
It happens of course, sometimes in rare one-on-one interviews with good journalists. But I often feel “decorum” / “respect for the office” / and the general pomp and circumstance and staged nature of most appearances often shields presidents from having to speak plainly in response to criticism.
Not saying we should have more “You lie!” moments. Just that so-called “respect” for the office often seems to translate into few, if any, instances where a president gets held accountable by a principled critic in an un-staged situation.
Trump is blaming Obama for Iran having the money to buy the missles they used in their attack.
Come to think of it, maybe it’s a good thing that he moved to Florida. When he kicks it, they can just throw the carcass into a sinkhole.
Likely response from the America-hating fuckstick: “The fuck we are. I get the last word!”
It’s even worse than that! Obama personally enriched his own pockets when he sold missiles to Iran: Iran–Contra affair - Wikipedia
No, man, that shit could get into the aquifer. :eek:
Cremating him would be bad, because then he would be in the air. The only safe way to go is to get the Space Force to lob him into the void, making sure that no one would ever have to encounter his corpse. Maybe shoot him into one of the big fluffy planets, like that one that orbits lying on its side.
Encased in the dead center of a 32’X32’X32’ foot solid concrete slab which is then buried deep underground or possibly dropped into the Marianas trench
The White House has not identified the contractor who was killed and whose death had to be avenged.
More like “We’re done for now.”
In the short term, the rocket attacks are a response that shows the Iranian population that the regime is still in control and fighting back.
But Iran is not done. Not by a long shot.
Iran would be stupid to do anything offensive in the short term. They run the real risk of a war that would destroy their regime and country. Now, they have the high road and the assassination has given a boost to their legitimacy and quieted internal dissent. If you’re saying that conflict will continue between Iran and the US and Iran; well, duh.
Long term, they are getting what they want, the US is divided and ineffective. Allies are going to be hesitant to be pulled in to any conflict initiated by Trump, for the Iranians the tables are slowly turning in their favor. But the US still remains a much stronger nation than they are and they will have to be very careful. America’s influence in the middle east is decreasing and when your enemy is committing unforced errors, get out of the way.
