I assume they get Ivanka to distract him with a low cut top and Jared puts something in his Big Mac.
They could go after a building outside the US with Trump’s name on it, one that isn’t actually owned by Trump. Do something non-violent like rip the Trump logo off or graffiti over it. Just to see if Trump is unhinged enough to use government resources to avenge a personal slight.
I thought that too, in fact I thought for sure that Trump branded buildings would become targets for anti-American protestors everywhere. Mostly though, I see people in DC flipping off his hotel downtown, me included. I have a pic of my wife on the way to the women’s march giving it the finger with her elderly mother.
Yeah, like the way we applauded when the Obama Administration targeted U.S. citizens with drones. :rolleyes:
We left-of-center folks criticize our own when they do wrong things. The criticism of Obama by liberals began practically before he was inaugurated, while the stimulus bill was coming together. I remember, because I was very much part of that. We don’t fall in line the way Republicans do. We don’t do duckspeak. We don’t hand our brains over to Dear Leader and agree that whatever he did was the right thing, regardless of what we’ve said about similar actions in the past.
We’re not your mirror image, whatever you may want to believe.
I don’t know about that, but it’s looking like almost a given that we’ll be kicked out of Iraq, and once that happens, Iraq will be basically a satellite of Iran. And given Syria’s unsettled state and Iran’s role there, this will give Iran a zone of implicit control stretching almost to the Mediterranean.
Winning!
Very well put.
Not “almost” to the Mediterranean. All the way to the Mediterranean. Syria has a coast, as does Lebanon.
Hillary wouldn’t have done what Trump did, exactly or otherwise, because despite being perceived as being hawkish she isn’t fucking stupid, ignorant of the world, its cultures, or how they interact, nor is she driven by a Jupiter-sized ego with the impulse control of a spoilt two-year old and the thin-skinned sensitivity of the princess on a pea.
I had this fantasy that maybe Iran would target Trump buildings around the world, and that Trump’s insurers would refuse to cover the damages due to an “act of war” clause in the contracts. Win Win!
Trump apologists have very tiny brains. That’s why they so frequently find Hillary and Obama living in their heads, rent free, for years now.
The attack was the exact opposite of both of these. It was like intentionally throwing close to the batter. Iran coolly planned a massive warning shot. If nothing else, they want to avoid hitting Iraqis, especially after the vote to expel the US military, to show that they know they’re caught in the middle.
Really? AIUI, in many instances, he has no financial interest in the buildings bearing his name, and he’s already been paid for the use of his name. A karmic lesson to anyone with the poor judgement to do business with him, to be sure, but not necessarily the painful hit he deserves.
I have this fantasy about a team of skilled vandalists, in the dark of night, transforming the 50-foot-high TRUMP sign on Chicago’s tower to read TRAITOR.
<mutters to self> Where’s the fucking LIKE button? </mts>
OK, fine. LIKE!!!
Logistically speaking, I must concede that it seems more doable than changing it to my preferred appellation of AMERICA-HATING FUCKSTICK (even if mine would be more impressive).
You know that here in DC, an artist routinely projects things onto his hotel? My favorite was “pay bribes here.” https://edition.cnn.com/2017/05/16/politics/trump-hotel-projection/index.html
I think LOSER would be more likely to trigger Trump, not sure if that’d be a good thing. I suspect that’s the epithet he most loathes.
How about FIRED?
Just take away the T, leave RUMP. Fitting for the ass he’s always been.
Maybe Mr. Trump does not believe he has the popularity to tackle the Military Industrial complex and the only way to get shut of US involvement in Iraq is to get pushed out by the elected Iraqi government. That is assuming he had a long term view
