Trump's Second Term

[Andy_Ross]

"I thought it would be worse" -- Trump's new line on his Iran "excursion" is that he actually thought it would hurt the economy more than it has

Trump: I expect Japan to step up because, you know, we have that kind of relationship and we step up for Japan. We have 45,000 soldiers in Japan. We don't need anything from Japan or from anyone else.

Trump: "The building you see over there is under budget and ahead of schedule. That's the ballroom."

Under budget? Wasn't it 200 million originally, then 300, and recently 400? However, if you keep raising the reported cost, you then can keep it under budget and pocket and difference as a nice bonus.

What building?

The budget went up $100m every time you mentioned it. With funding like that, a project can't go over budget.

That was just your little secret, then. You expected this and more. Despite declaring that nobody, not even the experts, considering the Iranians might fight back.

Try to give your lies some semblance of coherence.

Trump: "Alaska, believe it or not, is very close. It's much closer than any other-- it's just, it seems a little cold. But it's just a short trip."

Oh noes, he's been looking at maps, someone explain globes and scale again, quickly!

Well, the new bit is the personality cult, displacing party rivalry. It's not the R after Trump. It's the name Trump. He's captured control of the R party machinery to the extent he could almost ditch the name and form a new breakaway Trump party.​

Hegseth: "May almighty God continue to bless our troops in this fight. To the American people, please pray for them every day on bended knee with your family, in your schools, in your churches, in the name of Jesus Christ."

Sorry, what was the difference between this regime and the religious nutcases in Iran, again?

The cult would see nothing amiss and happily declare themselves the party of pigs.

A bit more about the buffoon's idiotic Pearl Harbor joke:

Trump makes Pearl Harbor joke during meeting with Japanese prime minister

The president's comments came after a reporter asked why the U.S. had not informed its allies about the president's decision to launch a joint operation with Israel against Iran.

www.nbcnews.com

President Donald Trump on Thursday invoked Japan's December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor when speaking about recent U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran during a bilateral meeting at the White House with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.

Asked by a reporter why the U.S. didn't tell Japan or other allies about its decision to strike Iran before it did so, the president said: "We went in very hard and we didn’t tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? OK, why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"

"You believe in surprise, I think, much more than us," Trump added, referencing the 1941 attack on the American fleet at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii that precipitated the United States' entry into World War II.

Trump's comment drew a few laughs from around the Oval Office, which was occupied by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other administration officials. Members of the Japanese delegation and members of the U.S. and Japanese press corps were also in the room.

He's such an imbecile, as are those who laughed. He isn't funny, he just isn't. I'm so over his cultist's simpering seal claps at his poor attempts at humor.

Tulsi Gabbard next to be thrown under the bus?

‘I Don’t Think She Survives This’: Gabbard Faces Blowback After ‘Devastating’ Testimony

Rumors continue to swirl about Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard‘s future as critics on Wednesday slammed her testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee, especially when she declared that it is not the Intelligence Community’s “responsibility” to determine what constitutes an imminent national security threat — a claim that received tremendous blowback.

“Was it the assessment of the Intelligence Community that there was an imminent nuclear threat posed by the Iranian regime?” asked U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA).

“The Intelligence Community assessed that Iran maintained the intention to rebuild and to continue to grow their nuclear enrichment capability,” Gabbard replied.

“Was it the assessment of the Intelligence Community that there was a, quote, imminent nuclear threat posed by the Iranian regime, yes or no?” Ossoff pressed.

“Senator, the only person who can determine what is and is not an imminent threat is the president,” Gabbard responded.

“False,” Ossoff replied. “This is the worldwide threats hearing where you present to Congress national intelligence, timely, objective, and independent of political considerations.”

Podcaster Paul Rieckhoff, an Iraq War veteran and founder of a veterans nonprofit, slammed Gabbard’s remarks.

“I don’t think she survives this,” Rieckhoff wrote. “She’s already not trusted in Trump world as a former Democrat. And not trusted by most people period. Sooner or later, Trump is gonna dump her and blame her.”

“But like Noem, Hegseth, and so many others, she shouldn’t have been there in [the] first place,” he added. “And anyone who voted for her is responsible for this mess now. It’s all coming to the fore now. They are all being revealed. That’s what war does. Especially forever war that is now overflowing beyond US control. Our enemies are celebrating yet again. And we are all less safe. More and more by the minute.”

In other words, like so many other Schitler appointees, she doesn't know how the ◊◊◊◊ to do her job.

Well, the US has killed 5,000,000 muslims since 9/11 and the Iranians have only managed to kill low thousands. The US is just much more proficient at the killing of innocent civilians.
