Trump's Second Term

[Andy_Ross]

RAJU: Why shouldn't Congress assert its constitutional role and actually vote to declare war the way it did with Iraq and Afghanistan?

FETTERMAN: Well, the last war we actually declared was World War 2

RAJU: No. Iraq and Afghanistan.

FETTERMAN: *stammers*

Marco Rubio: "You're about to see -- we're gonna unleash on these people over the next few hours and days. You're gonna really begin to perceive a change in the scope and in the intensity of these attacks as the two most powerful air forces in the world take apart this terroristic regime."

REPORTER: Yesterday you told us Israel was going to strike Iran and that's why we needed to get involved. But today the president said Iran--

RUBIO: No. Were you there yesterday?

REPORTER: Yes. I asked the question

The new MAGA slogan;


It is interesting that Trump is following Big Brother's play book;

There's a reason why 1984 is so poignant and it's not because the author misjudged how certain kinds of people act.

 

[Aridas]

I would love to see how the MAGAs defend the total lack of a evacuation plan for Americans in the mideast.
I would like to see some proof this was a preemptive attack. none with be forthcoming.
But I am afraid some people are falling into the Enemy of my Enemy is my friend trap, and are beginning to basically be apologist for the Iranian regime.

The same way they defended Trump's Afghanistan withdrawal plans, or rather, the utter lack of such?

Interlude.

When that man is dead and gone
When that man is dead and gone
We’ll go dancing at any price
Kissing ev’ryone but ICE
When that man is dead and gone

What a day to wake up on
What a way to greet the dawn
Some fine day the stable jenius
Satan with a tiny penis
Is asleep beneath the lawn
When that man is dead and gone

Toddler Donald thought up a plan
Dressed as a grownup man
Walkin’ the earth and since he began
The world is hell for you and me
But what a Heaven it will be

Repeat verse 1 and 2

It was a song about Adolf - nice update! For the original see my (winning) entry in the current Forumvision Round 1.

RAJU: You'll concede this is war?

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: We haven't declared war. They declared war on us

RAJU: The president called it war and Secretary Hegseth called it war

REPORTER: When you walked up just now, you called it war

MULLIN: Okay. That was a misspoke

He had a misspoke. Lotta that going around in this administration.

Have you seen the headlines saying that Joe Rogan is turning against Trump?

He isn't.

I listened to 170 hours of Joe Rogan’s podcast – trust me, he hasn’t turned against Trump | Michael Marshall

The world’s most popular podcaster seemingly disapproving of ICE does not mean he has soured from the administration

It’s “war” when they want to sound tough and “not war” when they want to avoid responsibility.

I'm seeing claims that there have been instances of US military commanders telling troops that the Iran war is to prepare for Armageddon.

The U.S. joined Israel in striking Iran early Saturday morning. By Monday evening, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, or MRFF, was “inundated” with complaints, receiving more than 110 grievances from U.S. military personnel stationed at dozens of sites across the Middle East, reported independent journalist Jonathan Larsen.

One such note included an anecdote from a noncommissioned officer, who reported that their commander had “urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.”

Troops have logged more than 110 complaints about such comments with the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.

Gawd! I used to like Fetterman, but now I realize he's got crap for brains too.

Get your act together, Fetterman. You're better than these idiot chickenhawks.

Get your act together, Fetterman. You're better than these idiot chickenhawks.

As I recall, he's been pretty solidly supporting Trump lately.

 

[Andy_Ross]

Johnson: The idea that a few colleagues here would try to move a war powers motion and resolution to the floor right now is dangerous. It plays right into the hands of the enemy. I think it's shameful.

[arthwollipot]

Seen on social media. Seems pretty accurate to me.

 

[Andy_Ross]

Reporter: Is there any indication of plans? What happens when the war ends?

Johnson: Look, no one can determine with any degree of certainty how this will turn out.

They don't even have a concept of a plan.

Those claims are being disputed by the usual suspects. So I assume they're true.

That's not an independent report. That's TNR reporting on the exact same report already linked. There is still no other source. Did you not notice? Or did you think that just because TNR reposted the same accusation, that somehow constitutes confirmation? Because it doesn't.

ETA: Confirmed by an independent journalist and by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. But why should we trust any sources who care about religious freedom?
