Trump Agrees To Iran's Victory Conditions.
Donald Trump yesterday showed how few cards the USA had to play in his war of choice, when he went from threatening to destroy Iranian people, culture and history, to agreeing to a two-week ceasefire and talks based on an Iranian ten point plan. The details of this plan (see below) amount to a comprehensive US defeat. If this indeed is the end of the war and that Iranian plan is the basis of a deal, it makes this the most pointless war and a complete waste in US history. Iran looks on the verge of emerging stronger, with the ability to generate massive new income, while the US looks, in a word, like a busted flush.
This is no run of the mill TACO. This is complete US strategic failure.

| second: Donald Trump’s decision to call off his apocalyptic strikes on Iran meant he once again lived up to the nickname Wall Street traders have given him: Trump Always Chickens Out.
“A whole civilization will die tonight,” the President said on Monday, adding with jaw-dropping glibness: “I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.”
Does anyone expect us to believe him next time he makes such outrageous threats?

| second: Trump’s $200 billion Iran war supplemental is already testing GOP loyalty
Republicans in Congress want to support Trump, but they also want answers. “You gotta show me the candy before I’ll get in that car,” said Sen. John Kennedy, R-La.

Total cost to the USA for the Iranian exercise in futility is $200 billion, or $588 per person living in America.

| second: 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.

6ixStringJack: Oh... look at that. Trump won again. I didn't even know it until after I made that last post.  |
6ixStringJack: You forget that everybody still hates Democrats, Ted. Nothing has changed there, and with the high-profile people you've got like Mandami running things, nobody is going to run out of any reminders of how much everybody hates Democrats. Meanwhile, part of you is praying that the Iran situation lasts for years just so you can keep running on it. You hate that you think that way, and you hate that I know you think that way.  |
| 6ixStringJack: In the business, we call that counting your chickens well before they're hatched. |
| THG: Trump is 'dragging down Republicans', fueling a nationwide blue wave |
| 6ixStringJack: |
| 6ixStringJack: Go for it. If you haven't been keeping score, Trump has won 100% of the time. Knock yourselves out. |
| second: Lawmakers call for use of 25th amendment after president brazenly threatens to commit war crimes in Iran.
As Donald Trump unleashes curse-filled threats against Iran, Democrats are raising alarm over his mental stability and calling for his removal from office – while Republicans remain conspicuously silent.
The 79-year-old president delivers rambling, incoherent speeches, hurls puerile insults at US allies and brazenly threatens to commit war crimes. He used an Easter Sunday social media post to warn Iran to “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell”.
The president followed up by insisting that a “whole civilization will die tonight” if Tehran does not meet his latest deadline to agree to a deal that includes reopening the strait of Hormuz. [go to link] |
| 6ixStringJack: Whatever I do and whatever judgements and penalties I face are between me and God, assuming there even is one. So take your Holier Than Though attitude and bounce on it, faggot. |
| 6ixStringJack: And you want to know what's going to get me off the Trump Train? If the Republicans start pushing a new Religious Wave over everybody. They're in no position to do it at the moment, but I could sense that coming on earlier this year before Iran started. I have zero interest living in a country that has married law to religion. Any religion. They only thing the Democrats ever did that was good for the people was to finally divorce Church and State. So don't you give me any of your fake religious bullshit, because I don't abide that line of dialogue from anybody. |
| 6ixStringJack: Catholicism is so fucked. No wives for priests priests. No husbands for the nuns. No sex, period. Of course they end up with a bunch of evil perverts running all the churches. I denied Confirmation and rejected my family's religion outright. The Pope can go fuck himself. |
| 6ixStringJack: I never asked the Pope to save my soul. I'd love it if he didn't molest kids though. That would be nice for a change. |
| second: Do you know how to spot the villain in a movie? It's really not that difficult. They always say something like this: "A whole civilization will die tonight." Trump said that, making it easy to spot who is what in the Iran War drama. [go to link] |
