Trump doesn't read. Dude is barely literate.
I better not see this motherfucker in a cowboy hat, which he said he "wished he could wear" in what will go down as one of the great speeches in American history. I CAN get away with a cowboy hat, despite the long hair and piercings, because I'm a fucking texan. I can and do.
I'm sure President Quixote can find some other style of hat, because he is DON QUIXOTE!
(No offense to Don Quixote)
I'm praying that this sabre rattling with Iran is the part where Captain Asshole surprises us, and somehow doesn't fuck up. Otherwise, it might be WW3. I've LITERALLY prayed about it.
Saudi Arabia is going to want someone to pay for this attack, right? Don't we almost HAVE to do something, considering our bizarre relationship and history with SA?
If there is to be a response, I hope it's a drone strike or something, that doesn't kill a bunch of people: a show of force, if you will.
We really, really don't want it with Iran, I don't think.
There is the deeply cynical part of me that wondered if this was funded by some other agency. Incumbent, wartime presidents are often re-elected.
I really don't want WWIII to kick off.
a little war in the middle East would probably help the current administration at the polls, especially if they can claim some sort of looming victory against "terrorists" is on the horizon. (Edit: Like @Magnetic said.) My mind definitely went to those places. These are strange fucking days.
"winning" a war is an old tried and true technique. wouldn't be surprised if Trump did this (i.e. proclaim "victory" ) over the next 6-12 months to "boost" himself. desperate people tend to do that in some cases. he's one of those cases.
oh, dude. I agree, 100%. I just mean that war with Iran could ...I've always thought it would be The Big One. They HATE us, and do not give a FUCK. And, God knows who might come to their defense.
I HOPE the aforementioned ass hat shares my fears and treads very fucking lightly here.
Trump isn’t really known for making prudent, considered decisions that take the well being of others into account and places those needs above his immediate self-interest... he’s just not “that kinda guy.” He’s more like the kinda guy who will tweet stuff like “poor me, being president is costing me billions cuz I’m a stable genius who has never paid off porn Star mistresses, I’m tariff man, Little Rocketman better send me a beautiful letter or who knows I might do something fucking crazy, and I’m mad as hell at Bette Midler”
I mean... just... this fucking guy... The Onion can’t make this shit up. Our president is so bad at his job that satire isn’t funny anymore

Yeah I initially thought they did it to themselves, too. To raise the price of crude oil. SA has been bitching that it’s too low for a while.
Except the Houthis claimed responsibility, and they have Russian weapons from Iran. It’s entirely possible, no LIKELY that the Houthis did it (using Russian tech and weapons via Iran). Iran denies direct responsibility and if Iran had done it they’d SAY they’d done it, but they have NO REASON to do it, they don’t want in on that battle.
This is all Pompeo and likely a vestige of Bolton (he HATES Iran).
Now, Russia, in an attempt to be helpful (heh heh), has offered to sell the same weapons to the Saudis.
https://www.newsweek.com/russia-saud...e-iran-1459510
Note that Putin is acknowledging that Iran provided (Russian) weapons to the Houthis, and the Yemen Houthis hit the Saudis (not Iran, as the U.S. is claiming).
Putin wants to profit from the whole thing. And take away the U.S.-Saudi arms deal - LOL.
However, Moscow has been attempting to serve as a mediator between Yemen and the Saudi - UAE forces since the civil war began. Negotiations and de-escalation is in everyone’s best interests, which is why Congress tried to stop the Saudi arms sale - but didn’t have enough votes to override a veto.
And now the U.S. is partly responsible for nearly 85,000 Yemen children starving to death.

So is anyone watching Lewandowski testifying in front of the Judiciary Committee today? You think he'll reveal anything new that hasn't been revealed in the Mueller Report?
And, breaking news, Trump is talking retaliatory action against Iran
yes, we are all gonna die, all of us, because greedy assholes are terrible
I see a lot of common people thinking Iran is kinda the same thing as Iraq. it's not! Iran can really fuck us up, and badly. "bigly" as orange man says.
Oh my god, this Corey Lewandowski hearing is the most maddening shit I've ever sat though... just kill me
OK, so what did the orange clown promise to Putin while an intelligence official was listening?
https://nationalpost.com/news/world/...nce-is-worried
I mean, obviously he's made him lots of promises, but which one did he accidentally make while being monitored by US intelligence agencies?
until we know more, like which foreign leader and what the promise entailed... I dunno. But Trump's refutation of it doesn't work. Why would a member of the US intelligence risk their position and hire a lawyer to blow the whistle on something "alarming." S/he's not profiting from it.
EDIT: This is getting crazy fast

So....treason? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but honestly, isn't that treason?
Sorry, but according to the constitution, it's not.

The USA is not at war with the Ukraine. The constitutional definition is super strict.
