Trump's Second Term

[Jack by the hedge]

Apparently none of the other wars count because they weren't wars

Vietnam - Congressionally Authorized Counteroffensive (not war).
Korean War - Police Action (not war).
Iraq Wars - Military action (not war).
Libya - Kinetic Action (not war).
Iran - Pre-emptive retaliatory de-escalation action (not war).
Afghanistan - Pre-authorized defense stabilization initiative (not war).

This one isn't a war either, it's an excursion. So I guess it doesn't count either.

Vance says Americans should find comfort in the fact that our allies are "suffering more than we are" from high gas prices

I'll put on a suit in case I'm required to thank him.

The irony of this little stupidity that is attacking Iran, Trump may actually get people to kick their oil addiction. Couple different blog I follow are reporting that in the US at least, the demand for home solar, wind, and electric cars is starting to tick up again. Now to see if actually pans out into something meaningful or if everyone forget everything once gas prices start comin down again. I'm, not holding my breath.

There has never been a more eloquent summation of modern conservatism. "I will sacrifice my own children so long as someone else suffers more".

You know what? I think the man is speaking his truth here, as the self-help gurus no doubt would call it; I think his heart rejoices at the thought of the suffering of of others.

BARTIROMO: What do you make of Saudi Arabia saying oil prices could soar past $180 by late April?

CHRIS WRIGHT: Iran's attacks have been terrifying. The destruction certainly is not helpful for global oil prices.

[Andy_Ross]

BARTIROMO: Some people are saying, how do you justify Iran monetizing oil during this conflict?

CHRIS WRIGHT: Yeah. Well, this is a very short-term period. That oil was gonna be monetized anyway. This president has had the bold leadership. It's a rough conflict to go through, but it's very, very necessary

Too bad the feds cut the tax credits for that. Luckily, I live in a state that isn't run like a third world dictatorship, so I still get them.

Because you weren't born yet, you moron.

And Trump can't understand the difference between allies & enemies.

 

[Tero]

Trump, barely able to connect to anyone but MAGA*, is picking on Newsom as dumb. Trump himself can barely add 2 plus 2.

But on the topic of dyslexia, I actually never learned to type well, which is fine. It turns out I am somewhat dyslexic. But just typing. Not reading, not writing with a pencil. I can see how dyslexia does affect others. They may turn into well trained speakers, as it is their quikest way to communicate.

*He was able to communicate some sort of fear to independent voters too. And the manosphere who may not be otherwise so far right.

USA hasn't had a war since WW2 apparently.

Rogin: This is the most unpopular war in American history, and for good reason. And the longer it goes on, the worse those numbers are going to look. There is no instance in history of prolonged war benefiting any nation.

Jennings: How do you know it’s going to be prolonged?

Rogin: That’t the story of pretty much every war ever

Jennings: We haven’t had a war since WW2

Rogin: I think the Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan generations would take issue with that

Read this this morning:

This Translator Will Help You Parse Your Boss's Mind-Numbing LinkedIn Speak

Turn that corpo gibberish into actionable communication, because someone has to actually run this place.

gizmodo.com

Now, can we run Trump sycophantese through it to try and decipher their gibberish?

What about the War on Drugs?

Trump’s handpicked Commission of Fine Arts approved a general design for a 24k gold commemorative coin for the U.S. 250th anniversary featuring Trump’s image.

If they make it, and you get one, don't polish it too much or the "gold" will rub off.

With the energy crisis caused by Trump he has managed to ◊◊◊◊ the world up without even a a world war.

Everything Trump touches dies.

Trump: "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"

It's 2026 and TACO's only now finding out about the most imfamous day in US history, which happened in 1941.

Seriously, it checks out.

Green fingers will become a badge of honor amongst the MAGA faithful.

The Japanese PM should have said: "That's fake news. We did send a warning. It was an incredible warning, you should have seen it. It was so powerful. It was huge, magnificent. FDR came to me with tears in his eyes and said: 'Ma'am! Thank you for that warning. It was beautiful. You're the only person who could have given a warning like that."
