Trump's Second Term

[Resume]

There's just too much ◊◊◊◊ in this thread today for my sig to handle.

No kidding. He's shoveling so much bull ◊◊◊◊, he's gonna have a grabber, hopefully. He's ranting about lunatics but he should really look into a mirror. And just think, 40% of the U.S. voting public applauds this nonsense. ◊◊◊◊!

War with Spain

Trump: "Spain has been terrible. I told Scott to cut off all dealings with Spain. They said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it."

Permission? We don't need no stinkin' permission!

 

[shemp]

No plan, no strategy.

Q: Commercial air travel is severely restricted in the Middle East. Thousands of Americans are stranded. Why wasn't there an evacuation plan?

TRUMP: Because it happened all very quickly

Yeah, nobody could have foreseen this.

Very clever of them to retaliate before Iran had a chance to strike the first blow.

He's playing 4D Risk, or something.

Well planned . . . what an inept bunch of nitwits.

Trump on Venezuela: "We've taken out 100 million barrels of oil already. A bit part of that goes to them and a big part goes to us. It's been great. We're gonna be running the oil."

Straightforward theft from the Venezuelan people.

CNBC: If Trump wants to make a move on Cuba and Greenland and says it's in our national interest, would you support it?

SEN. SHELLEY MOORE CAPITO: I think these are hypotheticals. I don't think this president is a bloodthirsty president who wants to take over the world. He wants more peace and less killing

So that's a yes.

TRUMP: ... It was my opinion that these lunatics were gonna attack first

Congratulations. You called it. The lunatics did attack first.

 

[Jack by the hedge]

Trump: "Most of the people we had in mind are dead. We had some in mind from that group that is dead. And now we have another group. They may be dead also. Pretty soon we're not gonna know anybody. I mean, Venezuela was so incredible because we did the attack and we kept govt totally in tact."

Fascinating. Tell us more about how badly you ◊◊◊◊◊◊ up by killing everyone you hoped might take over in Iran.

You get a war, and you get a war, and you get a war, and you get a war...

Did it cross your mind maybe Spain aren't the baddies?

 

[azazal]

Fascinating. Tell us more about how badly you ◊◊◊◊◊◊ up by killing everyone you hoped might take over in Iran.

And yet when whatever ISIS like organization that rises from the ashes of Iran will be the fault of whoever is in a leadership position of the the Dems.

Q: Commercial air travel is severely restricted in the Middle East. Thousands of Americans are stranded. Why wasn't there an evacuation plan?

TRUMP: Because it happened all very quickly

Because he doesn't care. Are they big donors?
Well, then. Couldn't give a rat's ass.

 

[Jack by the hedge]

Even before Trump, you never liked the USA. That is the impression I am getting.

Getting? This is the same impression you have told us you have about almost everyone for as long as I can remember. We know you think that. But it's not us. It's just you.

I was making a rather obvious bit of wordplay as a joke. I don't hate America. I do despair of what America has voted into power, and which is now destroying it from within.

 

[Donal]

Azrebajan was one IIRC ..

I think you mean "Albania and Acherbergurglegurgle"

 

[Jack by the hedge]

Trump: "We won on tariffs, actually. Somebody said, 'You actually won the case.' We won on tariffs. You had a decision that was wrong."

FFS. Supreme court found against you 6-3. But "somebody said" you won.

He lies to himself more effortlessly than to the rest of us.

 

[Jack by the hedge]

Trump with Chancellor Merz next to him: "How are we gonna treat Germany? I think you should hit them very very hard."

(Note the groans)

He's joking, until he decides he wasn't.

 

[Jack by the hedge]

Trump: "I've settled eight wars and actually maybe one more than that"

Nine, then. Minus how many, for the ones you start?

 

[dudalb]

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.

 

[zooterkin]

Trump admits there was no evacuation plan for American Civilians in the Mideast. That is pure stupidity and incompetence.
I think that maybe the Dems could make a lot of points by concentrating on the sheer incompetence of the Trump adminsitration then they have been.

Not only that, they've been told to leave, no doubt because further military action is coming, but they're being left to make their own way out. After all flights have stopped, of course.

(Someone British I know was out in Dubai when missiles started falling from the sky, and is now making his way by coach to Muscat, and hopefully to fly out somewhere safer and then home.)
