I guess Mad King Donald’s meeting with the head of NATO today went well.
Which is pretty damn good since three of them are dead,
The whole thing is a long drawn out public psychotic episode. And Republicans couldn’t be more proud.
Pretty sure there are more than 3 dead former Presidents, but I wouldn’t lay odds any of them approve of their noxious gasbag of a successor
Denmark sent their regrets, the Danish Navy is occupied defending Greenland from foreign aggression.
Yeah, I should have said at least three plus assuming the ones with a D after their name would approve and I’m not even sure George the lesser does. Has he said anything publicly?
The NY times has an interesting in depth article about how the decision to go to war was made
Long story short Netanyahu made a slick video presentation that regime change in Iran would be easy peasy. US intelligence looked at the assertions made and called them “farcical”, but Trump decided to believe him anyway. Everyone except Hegseth thought it was a really bad idea, but only Vance actually pushed back against it.
And there was also this exchange with Tucker Carlson which exemplfies the attitude of someone for whom the consequences on their actions always fall on someone else.
A couple weeks before the war began, Mr. Trump, who had known Mr. Carlson for years, tried to reassure him over the phone. “I know you’re worried about it, but it’s going to be OK,” the president said. Mr. Carlson asked how he knew. “Because it always is,”
I’m remind one slang term for American paper currency is dead presidents. No doubt, the only ones he cares about are those whose pictures are on the bribes money he receives.
Someone’s been arrested for “leaking” information about downed US aircraft in the vanity war.
Come on. Certainly Iran knew they shot the plane down. There’s no way that’s going to stay secret. And it shows exactly how little the secretary of war crimes knows about military secrets and secret-keeping. No doubt, he’s going to Signal otherwise.
And we’re back into IOWARDI territory.
A tariff tariff here, a tariff tariff there, a tariff tariff everywhere!
The US is currently importing about USD3.6billion per annum from Russia, so that’ll please his mate Vlad.
Also gives the possibility of selling arms to Iran via a third party country, say the MacDonald & Heard Islands … which will tick off the penguins.
The modus operandi of arms dealers is through getting around these sort of club-footed regulations.
That’s an excellent item; thanks for sharing.
Piece of ICE is an insult I did not expect President Ineptstein to utter.
Any country including the US - if this keeps up I’m seriously concerned the US military will be turned against the US population.
I wouldn’t be surprised, it wouldn’t be the first time. And Hoover was a lot less of a loon than Trump is.
He’s already done that. Have you forgotten he’s put the National Guard to patrol the streets of DC?
That’s not the same as ordering them to attack people.
Nice one.
Clusterfucking corruption:
“He said, ‘Sir, I’d like to donate the steel for your ballroom,’” Trump told the crowd at the time. “I said: ‘Whoa, that’s nice.’ And I found out — ‘How much is the steel?’ I called the contractor. ‘Sir, it’s down for $37 million.’ I said, ‘This is a nice donation, right?’”
According to the Times, Luxembourg-based ArcelorMittal, the world’s second-largest steel maker, donated steel valued at $37 million for Trump’s $400 million ballroom project. The steel was produced in Europe.
Two days after Trump publicly praised the donation at a White House event for wealthy donors, his administration issued a proclamation cutting in half the tariffs on automotive steel exported from ArcelorMittal’s Canadian plant.
I so hope that one of the first actions of the next sane president is to demolish the ballroom. I hope they have the balls, if such a sane president ever happens again.
As things stand, demolishing the ballroom will be a piece of cake.
(And the “plans” don’t include American steel. Nice touch, Donnie.)
“…and those hookers are a bit on the old side…”
With this news about lecturing and threatening the Pope, can we officially conclude that JD Vance is currently the Worst Catholic In The World?
