Poor Donny the Fat felon pedophile is learning there are limits to his power. Must be a hard pill for him to swallow. Wait till he learns there are limits to his immunity!!
I think the orange menace and the people around him are worried about something else as well. It turns out that Vladimir Putin is in hiding and Putin probably has better protection from the Russian version of the Secret Service than Trump does.
Trump has pissed off a lot of people and so have his other criminals. I hope he’s not assassinated. Trump is just a puppet and the ruling class will find another puppet. Putin on the other hand is not a puppet and things will change dramatically in Russia when somebody puts a bullet through his heart or hit him with a drone.
Putin's Russia is falling into the abyss and, since putin is trump's handler and mentor, trump is jumping right in after him, pulling the USA into that abyss with him. Trump is a lemming, unable to actually think for himself while thinking himself brilliant.
Trump is such a simpleton that all you have to do is buy him some trinkets like a plane or something and then stroke his ego and tell him how brilliant his plan is even though it’s not his plan.
Right now the guy pulling his strings is Benjamin Netanyahu. It turns out that warmonger chickenhawk Lindsey Graham coached Benjamin Netanyahu on how to Manipulate Trump into doing what he wants.
Trump is told by Israel intelligence that this would be a slam dunk and all Israel needs was a little bit of help from the US military. Now it’s a quagmire and it will be boots on the ground. There’s already 6000 marines heading to the area. This illegal war is going to be a disaster. But here’s a good part, Lauren Bobert just came out saying She is against any funding this debacle.
Everyone knows he makes erratic, compulsive and controversial decisions on a momentary whim, no matter if advisors disagree, and this WAR, not excursion (who told him to say that on the pretense we won't think its as bad as it is) won't change his attitude or decision making moosh brain. We can only hope he doesn't actually put boots on the ground and intend to kill our marines and navy personnel, because they will be picked off for target practice and he will say, "You have to understand, the mlitary is expendable, like toilet paper".
Congress could have put the brakes on this insanity, but the republican majority sucked the trump diaper clean and sat on their collective thumbs. Their noses are so covered in trump's sh1t I can smell it from across the country. Vote Blue in November and let the Guarding of Pedophiles fade away into the same historical warning the Holocaust is.
I think we’re at the point now where there’s going to be boots on the ground and a lot of American casualties. Trump got involved in his for a couple of reasons. He was manipulated by another dictator named Benjamin Netanyahu and and he’s also doing this to distract attention away from him on the Epstein files and a lot of this other crimes of him and his administration/regime. The walls are closing in.
I don’t think this illegal war can be salvaged. Trump is too stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid to realize that you can’t have regime change by dropping bombs from the air on people. Trump might’ve known that Iran was going to fire missiles at American military bases and blockade the strait of Hormuz.
Regardless of the outcome Trump and his corporate criminals win because the price gouging put more money in their pockets.
Bill, it's true that poor Donny is ignorant, but he is ignorant because he is STOOOPID! Plus, by (surprisingly intelligently) surrounding himself with bootlickers and asskissers who are also as ignorant and incompetent as he is, and a Republican Congress either so afraid or so genuinely loyal that they flat refuse to try to muzzle him, no matter what BS he stupidly but proudly and confidently does, we the disloyal opposition are stuck in the same foetid trench, ankle deep in the mud and the blood, yet we can no nothing about it.
Somehow, half the country voted for him—twice!—because. . . um, because he "speaks their language?" So they are warmongers, racists, closet pedophiles, and rapists too?
AkaClaire wonders why no one is talking about the christofascists' Holy Wars; actually, we are. Iran is the enemy if for no other reason than that they are Muslim. Now, the Mullahs are arguably among the most despicable people on the planet, and they have horribly abused their own population, which I would love to help, but indiscriminate bombing kills everything under the bomb. Iran is unquestionably a major threat to the world beyond their borders.
We have a long history of successful *tactical* regime changes, particularly during the Cold War, but these frequently resulted in long-term strategic failures and regional instability. While governments were successfully replaced in countries like Iran (1953), Guatemala (1954), and Panama (1989), others like Iraq and Afghanistan led to prolonged conflict.
But Trump does not read. He don't know nuthin 'bout HISTORY! And even if he did, he does not care. Our meddling in 1953 led directly to the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Reality bites!
I knew it was a matter of time before he’d “push the button “ start blowing up countries! He screwed everything! He ripped up the agreement made. Because Obama made it. His ego, actually his jealousy of him helped to create this unnecessary situation!
It was brought up that some were realizing and discussing "illegal orders" because, of course, this whole war is illegal, but how would this work, most are on ships headed for doom. Physical snd monetary cost of this? And he wants MORE money to continue it, but now says he can stop it. Contradictory. He calls other countries "cowards", however, he never served, pot calling the kettle...? How much more of "the schedule" is there? As all of us have noticed, there HAS to be something happening EVERY day. He craves attention, learned it as a child bully, now can't stop. We still need closure on the "drug boat" 2nd strike, which Kegsbreath says he will not release, but some have seen and now theres another in the Pacific, and also EPSTEIN, of course. Would true evidence sink him???
There ARE people talking about it - but NOT ENOUGH! These Psychopathic Demons (I am not religious but honestly I can't think of a better word) have hi-jacked our government. Our foreign policy has Always been several shades of Evil - but now it is a Black Hole of Evil that seems to have sucked the souls out of all of the GOP and most of the Dems. Zionism needs to be become as verboten as communism once was in our politics!
Research The Council On National Policy, C St. , National Prayer Breakfast. Heritage Foundation. They’ve been at this a long time. Please don’t paint American Jews with the same brush as BB’s Israel. That would be like blaming those Americans (the majority opposed Trump; last election 1/3 voted Trump. roughly 1/3 voter Harris with a few points to indie group candidates, and 1/3 simply did not vote) who oppose the Far Right and ChristoFascists for the mess they’ve made — intentionally — in the world. Those popular Left Behind books by Tim Lahaye were part of the general brainwashing of xtains. Think Whisky Pete and his prayers thanking the Crusaders. We’re back fighting the Reformation era Civil Wars. Holy Wars. We called them American Taliban during the W Bush wars. As far as blaming the Democrats, that is the Republican’s big tool, and many so called progressives who ache for 3red party play into it.
Y'know, Claire, your comment made me flash on the plain fact that the Christofascists and the MAGAts are all on the same page with the completely insane, fanatical, radical Islamists: Take everything back to the 12th Century! MAKE THE WORLD GREAT AGAIN. The Moors and the Crusaders can have a high old time killing each other in the sandbox, just like the Good Old Days! Oh, the fun we had, raping, pillaging, drinking (well, us, not the other guys). . .
I am painfully aware of where the Jews found themselves in the crossfire for a couple of thousand years. I have been a supporter of Israel since 1948. Never Again! But I also feel strongly that religious fanaticism, whether Xtian or Muslim or Jewish or Hindu or Sikh or Baptist, f'cryin' out loud, is simply unacceptable. This is the 21st Century! Why are we still doing this?!
For those willing and able to use it, it has the power to control whole chunks of a population. Like an invisible police force. And like a virus, it's self-replicating. But those wily mutations are hard to control. They can turn deadly.
It seems the fundie faithful really truly want to make their god solid and REAL. And miss the whole point. Like those painted herald crests on the side of a nobleman's carriage (as it casually mows down some poor ragged child in the streets), they are metaphors.
In reality, Nature is paradoxical, always moving. Nothing happens without those energy gradients. Those who want absolutes just can't wrap their mind around that.
This man this administration has zero conscience of what they do. From where they sit watching things blow is winning. Iran has not even began to fight. They have watched us for 47 years wage wars and loose . The know know what our weapons can and can't do. Same with ground based equipment and troops , they have planned for this , there missiles are in tunnels so deep our bombs cant touch them. Dont think they only have one way in and out. Same with launchers. There are warehouse under that dirt we know nothing about. Trump started this and he cant just say we win oops he won. You need to have someone say we lost . This was a huge mistake ,we the people are paying for this in our tax dollars , now in the cost of gas and soon the cost of everything else. Get ready for some expensive living . Limited supply of stuff ,job loss and no pay increases. Rocky road ahead
I'm weaving but why do people keep saying "wait til the midterms come" I don't think for one second that the fool and his maga clowns will make sure there will be no midterms. Like I said "I'm just weaving"
We learned in Vietnam that you cannot bomb the enemy into surrender. In this case, we are running out of bombs and missiles putting US in harms way. Not to mention the cost of high tech, precision is too expensive. Only advantage is Russia is weak and China would not dare to move on Taiwan. That would mean no oil for them.
SO WHAT NOW? US is fully committed and as much as we detest Trump, the oil needs to flow or a world wide depression will be coming. Europe desperate for oil so as much as they detest Trump will have to do something.
This is what happens when you ally yourself with hateful regime that itself has been responsible for the near genocide of the Palestinian people. The Felon-in-Office decided to side with Israel with the attacks on Iran. Yes, they are liable for what the crimes the Israel will commit during this conflict. You chose a side Donny, you pay the price for what's about to happen.
“No Battle Plan Survives First Contact With the Enemy” ---attributed to Field Marshal Helmuth von Moltke the Elder.
Wonder what Moltke would say, seeing the most militarily powerful nation on earth entering into a stupid war only to distract from things beginning with the letter E, and because we never liked those Iranian Mullahs anyhow, so there.
The most adorable part is, there IS NO PLAN!" Nothing was wargamed in depth. Our "intelligence" has none, nor do they care; just feed the prez what he wants. Go along. Make it up.
Unintended, unanticipated consequences? Um, well, now that you mention it... S'okay, tho'; pistol-packin'-Pentagon Pete, professional warrior and blowhard, will do what is necessary. Say again, Petey? We need the Marines on the ground? OK, send 'em in. Young people sacrifice for their country, right? God, I love the scent of fresh blood in the morning. SEMPER FI!
Senate and House are complicit in his mind numbing stupidity. He thinks he is omnipotent… that job is taken. He will just up the destruction and yell Armageddon louder! Blow up stuff and then take his toy boats, soldiers, marines and go home and leave everything shamblized (Radar).

Incursion…. He’s not an erudite guy…. But probably meant incursion.
and the excursion is "winding down"
Amen, brother.
He is a terrible terrible leader and an even worse human.
No pres has ever been as ignorant or as poor donny

Excellent commentary, Charles. Last sentence is good example of trumps lack.
I knew it was a matter of time before he’d “push the button “ start blowing up countries! He screwed everything! He ripped up the agreement made. Because Obama made it. His ego, actually his jealousy of him helped to create this unnecessary situation!
Why aren't these Generals and people in charge of the military refusing to obey illegal orders???

Not intelligent to start with and now he is cornered. Poor baby!
