    Wonder how Trump supporters feel about war crimes?  Do you support full gloves off everything possible is fair game?
    Good luck getting an answer to this one, lol.

    They don't care about allies or the rest of the world, MAGA will consider it "fake news" a "hoax" or "witch hunt", maybe all three.

    What Happens When Trump Feels Cornered

    The president’s most inflammatory remarks tend to come when he gets frustrated—which might explain his recent outbursts.

    Not sure Obama ever called for genocide?  I may have missed it though.

    I'm not a fan of Monday morning quarterbacking especially regarding the atomic bomb.

    Some thoughts from Dave Pell regarding CHEETO and his state of mind today:

    "Donald Trump may not have yet been able to bomb open the Strait of Hormuz, but he has blown his strait jacket clean off. We are in uncharted territory, with an unhinged president repeatedly threatening war crimes and a cast of enablers unwilling to stand up to the monster they helped create. I’m no expert on mental illness, even though I’ve been forced to confront its symptoms plastered across the news since that fateful Trump Tower escalator ride. But I’d imagine that if you were a cornered, frustrated, attention-addicted malignant narcissist with flourishing sociopathic tendencies, you’d be getting off bigly right now as a whole civilization waits to see if you’ll destroy it. I hope this manifestation of unbridled symptoms proves to be bluster or leads to some kind of deal and that the civilization in question does not die. In the meantime, American civilization is dying a little more with each passing day."

    Since USA citizens actually pay the tariffs any repel is a good one - but yeah, grift is pretty blatant at this point.  We will spend decades unraveling and clawing it back.

  • Rightly or wrongly, I’ve inferred that Karoline Leavitt’s confidence during press conferences is a good barometer of how much internal turmoil the administration is experiencing.

    She’s an incredibly skilled liar and Trump sycophant, I agree.  Many people are saying there’s nobody better.

    It would be interesting to see Leavitt go head-to-head with Sarah Huckabee.  I think Sarah would win.

    sarah could bring her best pecan pie and karoline could bring her best ice cream sunday =)  i think karoline would win, her family sold ice cream down the street from me and it was one of my favorite stops years ago before moving out of nh

    I can’t believe he misspelled “Trumphal Arch”. And he didn’t even use all caps!

    Iran has the hammer here with the Strait of Hormuz.  If I were them I would play that for all I wanted to get.  Not only do they have CHEETO by the short hairs but a large portion of the rest of the world., as well.

    Hmmm, we have already destroyed them completely a few times.  They have no military and all have been killed.  We unleashed holy hell on them and more might than anyone has ever seen - and yet they still seem to be causing problems.  If I were in their shoes I would be laughing at PrESidenT DONalD J. TrUMP so much right now.  They survived everything.  He said so himself. What more can he bluster with?  I wouldn’t give an inch.
