Just heard on MS NOW -

[Grim Chieftain]

"Trump has declared a full and complete victory in Iran". Oh, for the love of God, pull this delusional, babbling idiot out of the White House and send him to a hospital for the criminally insane.

This HAS to stop!!!!

[Johonny]

1. This will make great campaign commercials

Come November when gas still sits at record highs.

[BootinUp]

2. I'll drop him off. Heading that way. Nt

[Ocelot II]

3. Well, of course he did! Who couldn't see that coming?

[gab13by13]

4. Iran closed Hormuz again.

USA USA

CENTCOM refused Kegsbreath requests to bomb civilian infrastructure in Iran, the only thing left for Krasnov to do was surrender or explain why the military was refusing to obey Kegsbreath's requests, they weren't orders (he was protecting himself) they were requests.

[moonscape]

33. Can you explain implications if an order?

Responsibility issue?

[Attilatheblond]

45. If it was an order & they followed it, Hegseth/Trump take the rap

If it was a 'request' and they granted it, THEY would be the war criminals.

Even after Hegseth purged most of the really smart ones, there are still brains among the remaining brass; probably smart enough not to let him see how smart and honorable they are lest they be purged earlier too.

[moonscape]

47. So a request isn't also a war crime?

[VMA131Marine]

62. Nuremberg dispelled the idea of a "just following orders" defense

If you commit war crimes, “just following orders” doesn’t protect you from prosecution and conviction.

[Attilatheblond]

65. Thus the reasoning that making it a choice for the military brass rather than an order from Trump Mob

would protect the Trump mob and blame the Brass.

[Skittles]

51. I figured they would just try to dismantle CENTCOM

[artemisia1]

5. Grfaz!

Gröfaz is a derogatory German acronym for Größter Feldherr aller Zeiten ("Greatest Field Commander of All Time&quot , used during World War II to mock Adolf Hitler and his megalomania. Coined around 1943, it satirized Nazi propaganda and the party's love for abbreviations.

[Brother Buzz]

42. Gröfaz!

6. Waiting for him to scroll Bush's MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner across the WH. n/t

[GenThePerservering]

7. 'Quagmire Accomplished' nt

[Ray Bruns]

14. "Gigitty'"

https://m.

[Attilatheblond]

32. Payoff to Military Contractors Accomplished

'Thanks for all the campaign donations, boys! Here's some big checks written on the backs of US taxpayers and dead Iranian children.'

[Vinca]

8. Hegseth made it sound like a victory bigger than the end of WWII in his press conference.

It's a cease fire that has already been broken! Not a victory by any stretch of the imagination. If anything, Iran got itself a bonus with their control of the Strait of Hormuz and the ability to charge ships to traverse it.

[Grim Chieftain]

9. Wonder if Hegseth was drunk again, or still.

[2naSalit]

17. Still...

I don't think he's ever sober.

[usonian]

10. Excellent. Finally, there is time enough at last to address domestic needs.

[Permanut]

19. Burgess Meredith in one of the all time classic Twilight Zone episodes.

[calimary]

31. "...all the time I wanted..."

One of the scariest things I ever saw. I was very young when that episode first ran. But I still remember what a jolt it was. I’d never thought about anything like that until I saw that episode. Still troubling. The worst lesson in the world to have to learn: when YOU are the only one left after a global cataclysm.

[maxsolomon]

11. What else do you expect him to say?

Iranian State Media is saying the same thing on their end, no doubt.

We live in hell. 33 months to go. Persevere.

[Moostache]

21. The mid-term elections have to end him.

Senate, House, completely toxic lame-duck status, and Impeachment that should draw enough GOP votes to convict and forever make him ineligible for ANY office ever again.

Honestly, that SHOULD have happened in January 2021 already and we would never have had the last 16 months of lunacy and chaos... Thanks Mitch!

[maxsolomon]

25. LOL, right.

Impeachment 3.0 would end the same way as 1.0 & 2.0. You won't get 67 Senators to convict.

MFer is there until Jan 20, 2029. The GOP is accomplishing its goals of destroying the Federal Govt. They won't abandon him now.

[RVN VET71]

63. McConnell is the godfather of the destruction of America

Please, Clio, don't let the survivors forget his name and his face.

[The Wizard]

12. Butner, North Carolina has a room for him.

[malaise]

13. So what- he claimed complete victory in November 2020

and still had to leave the WH.

[1WorldHope]

15. Just let him believe it! Start working on fossil fuel liberation immediately!

[twodogsbarking]

16. win·ning /ˈwiniNG/ adjective 1. gaining, resulting in, or relating to victory in a contest or competition.

Someone tell him the defintion. Lexicography for Dummies.

[Initech]

18. Oh good fucking god. This was not a victory and he is completely out of his fucking mind.

Fuck all the way off Trump!

[Grim Chieftain]

24. Agree to the max

[LiberalArkie]

20. Already a picture is out

[Grim Chieftain]

22. Seems to be a pattern

[LiberalArkie]

34. It is a pattern that all the wars started by the U.S. were started by Republican Presidents

[MLWR]

23. The Big Lie

1) Make sure the lie is so big that no one would believe it was made up.
2) Repeat it often enough so that it becomes the truth.
"The big lie is the name of a propaganda technique, originally coined by Adolf Hitler in Mein Kampf, who says “The great masses of the people… will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one,” and denotes where a known falsehood is stated and repeated and treated as if it is self-evidently true," From: https://www.populismstudies.org/Vocabulary/big-lie/#:~:text=The%20big%20lie%20is%20the,the%20people%E2%80%A6%20will%20more%20easily

[C_U_L8R]

26. Trump: "I can finally rest and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe"

[SergeStorms]

27. Again?

How many times can "he" win the same illegal "war?" 🤔

Freaking demented nitwit.

[modrepub]

28. A Win

For his bank account. He’s probably come up with a way to split the tolls for travel through the gulf with Iran.

Heard toll will be $1/barrel payable in crypto for easier embezzlement. What a f—-king joke.

[swong19104]

29. All other nations, hear this:

When negotiating with Trump. One stipulation that must be included and cannot be omitted is the requirement that Trump announce that he lost in the deal. Doesn’t matter whether he won or not. He has to publicly state that’s he lost. Or no deal.

[Figarosmom]

30. Let him think that if it's the only way we get out of this mess

NO ONE BELIEVES IT ANYWAY. But let the deranged creep believe it.

[Justice matters.]

36. Leave him there until the next crisis he fabricated.

It's called Markets Crash (Depression for short), or Insolvency.

[senseandsensibility]

35. So no need for the 200 billion extra war funding?

Good news!

[Bengus81]

37. The Iranians OWNED your azzz Trump. Plain and simple.........

[Upthevibe]

38. Kick. N/T

[ffr]

39. But his kind being elected to office will never stop, so long as there are uninfomred unserious uneducated voters

Sad, but true. The reality is there will be one-issue voters and the like who will never vote for democrats. The only way for democrats to appeal to this voting block is for democrats to run as republicans, take that stupid party over, destroy it once and for all, wait until all of the unserious voters die of old age, then for those elected republican democrats can change party affiliation back to democrat once sanity has been restored to how people vote.

[Bluetus]

40. America is better off if Trump believes this and gets the hell out of IRan. But he took a bad situation, and

made it much worse. The first step is to neutralize Trump and the war powers act is probably the best way to do that. But then we have some major work to do, even to begin repairing the damage that Trump caused in the past 30 days. This needs to be at the core of our messaging for the November elections. The overriding message should be:

"The Republicans cannot govern. They cannot control their guy, and they are making matters exponentially worse every day. You need to elect a Democratic Senate and House now. We cannot wait until 2029 to start repairing all the Trump damage."

[Hassler]

41. When gas prices and everything else remain high

The public will know what TACO won.

[Renew Deal]

43. Great. Now send everyone home

[BarbD]

44. This demented idiot...after tweeting repulsive crap over the weekend..

then terrorizing all of us over the threat of using nuclear weapons on Iran is totally unbalanced, I beg the Republicans to invoke the 25th amendment.

[Grim Chieftain]

46. If Trump doesn't qualify for the 25th, no one ever will.

[MerryBlooms]

48. Until pictures come out of Iran destroying US and US alliance assets?

Someone needs to put a breathalyzer on their president before he speaks.

[MustLoveBeagles]

53. And testing for other drugs

[MerryBlooms]

57. For sure. Let's throw Hegseth into that same ring! They're both two poisoned peas in a pod.

[MustLoveBeagles]

58. Yes

They should both be removed.

[rampartd]

49. it is a full and complete victory for trump

no one has said "epstein" for a week.

[lastlib]

50. I've been thinking lately about that Turkish prison....

...in the movie Midnight Express, and what a WONDERFUL place that would be to send The Felon to! It would be perfect for him!

[Deuxcents]

54. That was the scariest movie I've ever seen..saw it when I was young and never forgot it.

[lastlib]

56. Yeah, I had a couple nightmares about it.

God, It was dark! And now I wish The Felon could experience it--first-hand, close-up.

[ForeGoneLegsBirne]

52. Oh It CAN'T Stop..NEXT Year's Nobel Peace Prize Campaign Begins Now! n/t

[ybbor]

55. Is it the William J. Le Petomane memorial casino for the insane?

Because if it is, he’ll just bankrupt it!

[Joinfortmill]

59. I Second that.

[JohnnyRingo]

60. Let him take his participation trophy and go home.

At least we pried his finger off the trigger.
I'll feel better if the old crank goes golfing for a couple days.

61. Family intervention

[Blue Owl]

64. The windmills have been contained
