Perhaps we should start a pool on what time the war starts?

I have my money on tomorrow (11/14) at 2:30 pm when we fire tomahawk missiles into Caracas to stop the Venezuelan fishing boat invasion of Florida.

The only other thing I can think of that Trump could use to deflect attention from Epstein could be something like ordering the 5th Marines into New York City to cleanup Times Square.

He's had another stroke during a freakout panic attack?

Maybe he's dead. He hasn't made a peep in about 24 hours.

I read an article yesterday (can't remember where) that said the Venezuelan government had uncovered a CIA operation in Venezuela that was planning to create such an incident to serve as a pretext for war by the US

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_invasion_of_Grenada#Connection_to_Beirut_barracks_bombing

Two days prior to the United States' invasion of Grenada, U.S. marines in Beirut suffered heavy casualties in the 1983 Beirut barracks bombings. The terrorist bombing in Beirut killed 241 American servicemen, the deadliest single attack on Americans overseas since World War II. American Experience suggested the invasion of Grenada was meant to distract the public from the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing: "By the time of the 1984 election, the Grenada success replaced the bitter memory of the massacre at Lebanon.”[27]
