Trump's Second Term

[Dr.Sid]

Maybe the tax payers should ask what Department of War is doing if not waging a war.

There are a couple questions there. For the first question, though - Yes, there are apparently a number of schools in military bases. Yes, family members of military personnel may be housed on base. Yes, there are medical centers in military bases. I'm not sure what you're including as social centers, though, so I cannot really answer that.

For the latter - a military base is a legitimate military target, which makes those in it and very close to it potential legitimate collateral damage if there's an attack, even if they're civilians. Though there are civilians there, the purpose of family housing and schools on a military base are not to provide human shields, but rather as noncombat support for the military personnel.

Now, going to the darker side of things, it's entirely plausible that the shameless criminal Republicans of the Trump Administration would effectively turn civilians into human shields, yes, but that's not why family housing and schools on military bases have existed. That doesn't mean that such won't change in the future, but it's not how it's been.

was iran given notice of the strike to evacuate the civilians?

i think that’s pretty customary behavior for that reason. i’m lethalitymaxxing pete hesgeth doesn’t believe in such woke points of view on war tho

"some people will die."
Not “we’ll protect you.”
Not “we’ll do everything possible.”

Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump told TIME:

“I guess…We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

Donnie Bonespurs is always willing to let you die for his benefit.

Hassett: "At the White House, we've got our eyes on the prize and we believe we're gonna have a world with a much more stable Venezuela, a much more stable Iran that is a very reliable and safe supplier of energy, which will reduce risk premiums around the world and be cause for celebration."

Hassett downplays a terrible February jobs report: "It's about what we expect to be seeing because immigration has gone down by so much that the breakeven employment is probably in the 30,000 or 40,000 jobs a month range. The economy is really strong."

CNN Dana Bash talked to Trump about Iran's next leader: "He said, 'It's going to work like it did in Venezuela. We have a wonderful leader there. She's doing a fantastic job, and it's gonna work like that.'"

That's it? That's the full extent of Muslim on Muslim violence? It's the same as everyone else?

I don't think you've been paying attention.

I'm paying attention to your attempts to distract from the Orange Pedo's undeclared war. Your silly premise that Tate wasn't going to kill Muslims because he occasionally claims to be one is just that. More unseriousness.

You people? I'm not a Tate fan. He's a jackass and a fool. And I don't believe for a second that he's actually going to put himself in harm's way. Which is part of why I don't think he was interested in killing Muslims. That would be risky.

That's not what you said. And I like how you don't disagree you love the big empty displays of toughguyness.

Cuba pretty soon

CNN's Dana Bash reports on a conversation she just had with Trump: "He quickly turned to Cuba. He said without being asked, 'Cuba is going to fall pretty soon.'"

but they bragged they killed all the top leaders who would be in line to take over. (they didn't but they claim they did)

Unconditional Surrender is the goal

@realDonald Trump
There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. "MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!)." Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Nothing about Tate is serious. Which is another reason not to believe he's going to kill Muslims.

That's not what you said. And I like how you don't disagree you love the big empty displays of toughguyness.

I don't need to refute it because frankly I don't care if you believe it or not. You pulled it out of your ass in the first place. You're free to make up whatever head cannon about me you want, it's not actually any skin off my nose.

Didn't want this to get lost in everything else going on. He only pardons the best.

Capitol Rioter Pardoned By Trump Sentenced For Molesting 2 Children

Florida handyman Andrew Paul Johnson, was previously convicted of storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, but was pardoned by President Donald Trump.

www.huffpost.com

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Florida handyman who was sentenced on Thursday to life in prison for molesting two children had been convicted of storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, but was pardoned by President Donald Trump.

Andrew Paul Johnson, 45, is among several Jan. 6 defendants who have been charged with new crimes since Trump’s sweeping act of clemency for Capitol rioters. On his first day back in the White House last year, Trump pardoned, commuted prison sentences or ordered the dismissal of cases for all 1,500-plus people charged in the attack.

Johnson was convicted last month of two counts of lewd or lascivious molestation of a child and one count of electronically transmitting material harmful to a minor, according to prosecutors in Hernando County, Florida. County Circuit Judge Judge Stephen Toner handed down Johnson’s life sentence.

Who is supposed to offer the surrender?

Liberation for all the countries

Rep. Joe Wilson: "What President Trump has done is truly -- it's been compared to the fall of the Berlin Wall. Now, President Trump is creating in the Middle East liberation for a number of countries, all the countries"

Indeed. Damaging them for years, if not decades, to come.

It's like how Libya came to the table for negotiations with the UK after Iraq II. And that ended well, right?

Yes, we were mocking him. Why am I not surprised you can't pick up on that?

Sounds like someone got big mad and is trying to convince himself.

 

[Ziggurat]

I know that. But the killing Muslims part of the mockery was stupid. Bad mockery isn't above criticism. I didn't object to mocking him for false bravado stuff. The action movie style poster was hilarious.
