I don't know how to play myself but I do know that "bluffing" is about 50% of the game. If Iran were playing poker with the fucking moron they would win, hands down. "Worst Poker Player In The History Of The World" award goes to tRump.

is the way to bore into tRump's brain. Flattery, constant ego stroking, and making him think everything is his idea is the path to his psyche. Putin knew this decades ago.

A six month period during which time the Bush Administration would reach a turning point in the War on Terror. Often brought up after a conversation with some cab driver in Tel Aviv or Amman. Never proved accurate, ever.

A "Scaramucci" (or mooch) is a nonscientific unit of time equal to 11 days. It is defined by the length of Anthony Scaramucci's brief tenure as White House Communications Director in 2017. Although often cited as 10 days by some outlets, Scaramucci himself refers to it as 11 days.

She had a comprehensive list of his use of “two weeks” - he uses it all the time. I had no idea that he used it so often.

Apparently she has really paid attention to his two weeks trick

This is from last year

and always manages to do it with an impressive combination of cold fury, steely dignity, and class.

Lawrence is my commentator crush, along with Michael Steele.

as in two weeks is about how long one can spin a line of bullshit before the next distraction is necessary.

18. Borowitz: DJT gives himself a 2 week deadline to come up with a new distraction
Tue Apr 7, 2026, 11:03 PM
Apr 7

“ WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In an eleventh-hour announcement on Tuesday night, Donald J. Trump gave himself a two-week deadline to come up with a new distraction from the Epstein files.

“Threatening to annihilate a nation of 90 million people worked for about a day, but now I need to come up with something else,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.

Immediately after his announcement, Trump summoned his entire Cabinet to the Situation Room to brainstorm ideas before the two-week window expires.

Distractions reportedly being considered include naming Kid Rock Attorney General, replacing Lincoln’s head on the Lincoln Memorial with his own, and putting Hannibal Lecter’s face on the dollar bill.”

his 'old name'.......




All the same, I'm glad for another 'two weeks',
as I really didn't want to DIE tonight while I slept!


Think I will get my pound of ground beef out of the freezer to thaw,
so that I can make TACOS tomorrow--- while I still have the chance!

YES, they not????
