Trump's Second Term

[Gulliver Foyle]

Baghdad Barbie wedges her foot deeply down her own throat again.

He coined that term "Peace Through Strength"! He is the bigliest, bestliest and smartliest president ever!

Next he'll be coining the phrases "strength through joy" and "work makes you free".

 

[Gulliver Foyle]

He coined this term? I've heard this term my entire life. Next thing you know Trump will have written Moby Dick and the theory of General Relativity. They were both bigly.

He'll have invented the helicopter.

 

[Fast Eddie B]

Hardly the first term that he invented long, long after it entered normal circulation.

“Prime the pump” comes to mind.

Edited: Long since ninja’d by Aridas, I see.

The moment any one of them step foot in Iran it'll be a flat out race between all the the anti-ayatollah factions and all the pro-ayatollah factions to see who gets the honour of lynching them. They're universally hated in the way the Romanovs could manage periously.

Are they universally hated? I agree a great many Iranians hated the Shah. But what a lot of people don't understand is there are still supporters of Bautista out there. Granted, they live in Florida.

Have you noticed that he's started wearing an onion on his belt? Soon all the cool kids will be doing it.

Today is the outbreak of the second 12-day war. One of a series which may go on forever. Trump will end each one, and yet never be recognised with a Nobel peace prize for the several seconds of peace he cumulatively achieved.

I was thinking that few people have managed to get 2 cease-fires within a 12 hour window

 

[dudalb]

The ceasefire will be broken in less than five days.

Hell it did not last five hours.

 

[alfaniner]

The POSOTUS dropped another kind of bomb, the F-bomb, live on TV today. "They don't know what the ◊◊◊◊ they're doing." Et tu, Brute?

He'll have invented the helicopter.

I would think, an autogyro. "Hey, if only we could make a car that flies like a helicopter. Yeah, I'll think strongly about that. No one's ever thought of that in the history of the world."

Hell it did not last five hours.

I felt I was being over conservative with five days. I initially wanted to post "two".

The last Pahlavi pissed off every ethnic and political group in the country with his paranoid megolomania, even the ones he needed to keep his arse on the throne.

I heard on the radio that he's announced another ceasefire.

From upthread

And of course wooden flying boats have low radar reflection. Stealthy.
It's a word I just invented. Stealthy. Means like it's invisible.

 

[sinnikal]

nvm

Ceasefires seem to last about as long as tariffs.

Nineteen Eighty-Four reference. One of the threads in the book is Winston musing how over his schooling it was introduced that Big Brother invented the helicopter, an obvious lie even though he'd forgotten the truth. The denoument; when he mentions it to Julia she's been taught that BB invented a forms of air travel.

Someone doesn't know what the ◊◊◊◊ they are doing.

It's a bold plan. Attack a foreign country, then unilaterally announce a ceasefire before the other country has a chance to react. This plan has no concievable flaws.

 

[shemp]

I heard on the radio that he's announced another ceasefire.

I'm sure it's already over.

 

[shemp]

Perhaps he thinks if he announces enough ceasefires, it'll add up to a Peace prize.

 

[acbytesla]

I'm still waiting for Trump to end the war in Ukraine. He said he would end it in one day.

 

[Jack by the hedge]

It can seem quite peaceful for a few minutes while the rockets are in the air.
