The Strait is open.
And also the US is blockading the Strait.
And also Iran is shooting at ships in the Strait.
And also the Strait is open.
He’s been literally tilting at windmills for 30 years now.
Iswydt!
My immediate thought was that they’re getting the cover story out there ASAP to mask the real, serious, reason why Trump may have issues with his voice. Like “the bruise is from shaking hands” bullshit.
Hey, would you deny George Santos his rightful chance? (Besides, Kid Rock is still busy cleaning out that hot tub that was contaminated by the presence of RFK jr.)
…without being fed:
Called it.
Pete “Grand Inquisitor” Hegseth’s rebuttal to reports that Navy sailors in the Mideast are being underfed is that the media is run by Jews.
I see it looking something like this:
The First Rule of Successful Negotiations: ABY - Always Be Yelling - in all negotiations.
Robert Kennedy Jr in a 2024 radio interview: “Every Black kid is now just standardly put on Adderall, SSRIs, Benzos, which are known to induce violence. And those kids are going to have a chance to go somewhere and get re-parented — to live in a community where there’ll be no cellphones, no screens. You’ll actually have to talk to people.”
Robert Kennedy Jr, testifying under oath before Congress in 2026, denied ever saying that he talked about reparenting black kids and told Representative Terri Sewell, who asked him about this, that she was “making things up”.
Apparently Mr Kennedy is unaware of the existence of recordings. Or perjury charges.
Seriously, is there a White House pool where the cabinet member who screws up biggest each month wins a hundred dollars?
This could be a Country Song Number One!
By George Strait, of course!
The felon-in-chief doesn’t have a big stick.
But is that how these “phone calls” are conducted between leaders, especially if it requires translation? I thought it was more the speaker says what they have to say, it’s translated on the fly and the translation is transmitted to the other side. The response is done the say way.
It seems to me that yelling into the phone doesn’t do anything other than damage his translator’s hearing.
But Rip van Simple told the world the Strait of Hormuz is, thanks to him, “permanently open”.
No need for elaboration. The reason for the change is the felon’s orders were questioned.
Those worms sure did a number.
They’re not law enforcement officers; they’re not corrections officers. What are they doing being in charge of prisoners/detainees?
And what is the Division of Emergency Management doing being in charge of prisoners/detainees in the first place?
Trump is a typical American: All furrirners will understand English IF YOU SHOUT IT LOUDLY ENOUGH!
[sarcasm off]
I know you’re joking, but have you noticed how suspicious the magaflatearthers are of anyone, anyone at all, who has even a modicum of competency in a language other than English–or even in English for that matter?
This doesn’t make sense even using Kegsbreath-logic. Why would “the Jews” promulgate a story that would lead to the US populace clamoring to bring the troops home?
Monty, I was a little dismayed at the recent Artemis II news conference. Our Canadian astronaut fielded a question from the CBC in English, and then was hit by a question from a Radio-Canada (CBC French) reporter in French.
Jeremy Hanson, our Canadian astronaut, responded in halting French, but really. I’m a little tired of everything in Canada having to be in French. Yes, right now, French-speakers are about a third of the country, and they are bilingual, but really only-French-speakers may be 15% of the country. Regardless of what anybody says, Canada speaks English, not French. Hanson would not be out of place responding in English to the French-speaking reporter’s questions.
Too late to edit, but I’ll add this anecdote:
Some years ago, in Banff National Park, in Alberta, Canada, I got into a discussion with an American woman. “You speak English so well,” she said. “No trace of a French accent.”
Um … ma’am, we don’t speak French.
I grew up in northern Maine, right on the border with New Brunswick, very close to Quebec. I had friends in New Brunswick, that I met while skiing, who could barely speak English … so she wasn’t completely in left field.
In fact, I remember spending a weekend with a family in Quebec as sort of a half-assed exchange program, and they didn’t speak English at all. That was a trip. Luckily, it was two for two thing, and the other person I was there with from my school spoke passable French, otherwise I may as well had been on Mars.
The situation seems Dire.
