    It might be real, but there’s no way he wrote that. The cadence is off.

    Don't really care.

    If its all Trump just being old man yelling at clouds (while having nuclear weapons), then jfc.

    It it's running through PR departments and different parties in the US Govt vetted this as the sort of message they want to officially represent the USA, then jfc.

    Wait, you somehow thought that this wasn’t an inevitable type of posting from this administration? It’s been unhinged since day one.

    US-Iran deal could happen as soon as Monday, Trump says to media, claiming ‘Iran is negotiating now’

    All over the fucking place. :lol:

    These are the craft lost during the heroic rescue. They claimed to have destoyed them themselves. (Where's the mud?)

    Another couple of victories like this and the US won't be able to fight.

    Yeah, this makes the failed embassy rescue under Carter look like The A-Team.
    Republicans need to shut up about Carter forever now.

    Do we think that the sycophants in his cabinet have any threshold after which they'll invoke the 25th?

    Theoretically, if someone close took him out, the rest would be like...

    "We were gonna do it!! Honest!! Please! Let us work for you!! We'll suck your dick! Weeee'll suuuuck yoourr diiiick!! :pwease: :hail:".

    His predecessor literally had to be led around like an errant toddler by the Italian prime minister at a photo op (I think it was G7 related?) and wasn't removed. We watched his brain melt down and run out of his ears live on television and he wasn't removed. He approved of and facilitated a fucking genocide and he wasn't removed.

    Trump won't be removed either.

    It would set a bad precedent or some such bullshit; I don't know I'm not a psychopath.

    A bunch of Iranian leaders were killed but their government didn't topple so I'm not sure which part of it you're referring to?

    The part where he thinks that by killing some of the leaders the government could topple. More have been killed in the year since, and it looks like the government is doing just fine.

    If he proceeds with his threat, then the world will quickly experience the difference between "oil is really expensive " and "there's no oil to buy".

    I got to be honest, this war makes zero sense because the brain trust in the White House never spelled out what the objectives were. It looks like Bibi convinced them to attack and now they’re left holding the bag. Hegseth is a white Christian nationalist, Kushner is a pseudo-intellectual, and we already know Trump. They should never be within a thousand miles of political decision making.

    seems to me he has to put his 'mark' on everything after he renamed it to the Department of War what was next . he wanted to see 'his' the bang bangs go off and spend a week or two and 'win' a 'splendid little war' he could crow about his prowess on the battle field it would make people forget about epstein and all of the other misdeeds he could be a HERO and that is all that matters to him. even if it does not work out that way he will still call his self a hero and every one else be dammed.

    There's a video with Miles Taylor (and Nicole Wallace?) where he reveals that the 25th was discussed during his first term but they ultimately decided that the Republican Congress would simply restore him to office and then his vengeance would be unleashed and MAGA would activate into a dangerous threat - one official apparently said "I don't want to touch off a second civil war"

    Saw a video which I now can't find that postulated that Bibi got his way with a huge assist from Jared who walked away from a close negotiation on track for a deal and went and told Granpa that no deal was possible so he might as well go for it.

    Hoping for another TACO. If not, it's worth noting that the US military is expected to disobey the kinds of orders that Trump will issue later today. More likely they will follow him over the cliff.

    The US cabinet could obviously intervene. Even the UK government has some power and could discontinue usage of the bases that terror bombing is being launched from. The same for Greece and others, I understand.

    I say this because there'll inevitably be the "one bad man" narrative in the aftermath. It won't be correct.
