Insider trading and getting his beak wet is all that Trump cares about. The mouthpieces repeat the same tired bs that was old in George W.'s tenure.

He has now learned to play the markets like a virtual virtuoso. Someone needs to look into that. Established people in the markets have noticed recently several "coincidences" between placing "bets:" and coming out ahead by 80-80%, which is unheard of, just before Trump "announces" something. Fucking grifters!

Splendid! America has a senile and demented felon as its president and he commands the most formidable military force ever assembled (aided by a pseudo-christo-nationalist, alcoholic clod). Just what I always wanted my tax dollars doing - killing hundreds of children and women in far off lands at the behest of the Zionist cult while enriching investors in the U.S. military-industrial complex that Eisenhower warned Americans against.

In his January 17, 1961, farewell address, President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned the nation against the "disastrous rise of misplaced power" stemming from the "military-industrial complex". He cautioned that the conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry could create undue influence, threatening democratic processes and necessitating a balance between security and liberty. NOW, WE ARE THERE! COMPROMISED & OPPRESSED!

DO NOT SIT STILL AND ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE DISENFRANCHISED BY GENOCIDAL CRIMNALS.

Our security is diminished and under assault from within (See: MAGA, GOP, SCOTUS).

Our military is being co-opted by the the Israeli, far-right, Otzma Yehudit Party (See: Gvir).

Our democracy is under direct attack (See: Stephen Miller, DHS / ICE).

Our elections are being rigged (See: Brenner Center for Justice).

ASSEMBLE - RESIST - DEMAND A GENERAL STRIKE - NO KINGS....MARCH 28, 2026. BE THERE!

Channeling Orwell……….

Facts are false

Losing is winning

Destruction is building

Non-affordability is hoax

Voting is fraudulent

Killing is saving lives

Knowledge is stupid

We have met “ 1984 “ and are living in it.

And now, the war that Trump claims is over, though he continues to suggest he might bomb Iran's nuclear power plants, apparently on a whim or if he feels it "in his bones," has as a goal, opening the Strait of Hormuz that wasn't closed until Iran was attacked. Hegseth's reference to the "vicious" attack on Iran is very disturbing; it sounds like Hitler's merciless "blitzkrieg" strategy.

I was thinking exactly the same, Anthony. What a pity that Americans are so poorly educated that many don't see the parallel.

I continue to not understand how something so simple and basic doesn’t register with the MAGANAZIs. And, that disconnect is the Machiavellian-ism that the orange imbecile spews from his festering gob daily.

How can it that:

It’s not a war but an excursion. However, our dotard-in-chief says we are at war with Iran. Huh?

How can the war / excursion ( see above ) be winding down when more troops are being deployed?

How can we be winning the war / excursion when we continue to bomb Iran and Iran continues to lob missiles, drones as well as Iran blocking international shipping? That sounds like a war to me.

We are going to kill them viciously with bombs. But, don’t get us started on abortion. That’s murder!

And, how frightened is our imbecile in chief of the Epstein files that he starts a war to take the heat off of him?

I find these truths to be self evident. It doesn’t take a lot of neurons or a good olfactory system to see and smell the bullshit on this.

I can also bet my bottom dollar that the 30% of our nation that follow the MAGANZI party have no knowledge of:

Remember the ( USS ) Maine! ( Havana harbor )

Polish troops are invading Nazi Germany. We have to defend ourselves. ( Sept. 1939)

The Gulf of Tonkin “ attack “

Iraq and Saddam have WMD and are are threat to the USA.

The historical time loop we are in is, same shit, different day ( decade, week, year, century ). It’s all very tiring to watch and experience.

he is batshit crazy. he is psychotic. he needs thorazine asap...

Paul  Kayen's avatar

Yep. He needs to be removed, placed in a padded cell, given a rubber phone and rubber buttons to push. His cabinet straight on down into Congress all need to be indicted for treason . Not one of them has upheld their oath.

Helen Spirer's avatar

A clown show of defective people destroying America and perhaps the world. No intelligence tests required for running America. Sickening!!

James Sexton's avatar

Trump’s advisors should have let Trump know that Iran has thousands of missiles in miles and miles of underground tunnels, and they can continue to pop these missiles off at targets in the Strait of Hormuz and elsewhere in the Middle East, as well as use low-cost drones as decoys or with explosives. But of course, the gutless wonders that work for him just wanted to manipulate him to cause a war so they could make profits, and Mr. Know-it-all Trump is too dumb to ask about the consequences.

Kathleen Yost's avatar

This is so sick! The nut needs to be removed from the nut house, locked up along with his cabinet and members of congress who have been too cowardly to fight back! Ugh

Wendy Shelley's avatar

Why does any journalist ask anything of Rick Scott or Ted Cruz? They’ve never been anything but sycophants for the Felon. Yes, goes for the rest of them, too. What a waste of human beings!

Thanks Steve for validating what I am thinking and hearing. It's had not to feel being gaslighted every time trump/GOP/Executive Branch mobsters try to tell the American people what is going on. When trump said negotiations were going on and Iran said they are not-I believed IRAN! trump just tries to manipulate the stock market and tries to fool everyone who is in his cult of followers and enablers. I have lost faith that trump/GOP cultists-35% of polls-will ever admit trump is not helping them live better lives and is destroying our country, democracy, law/order.

This is not a war, this is a game that grown men in the role of leadership here in our nation are playing.

Unfortunately for the next generation and any after, this is not a game for the Iranians who are now boys, who have lost sisters and brothers, fathers and mothers and who also know they will be rejoined in the afterlife when they sacrifice themselves battling the Great Satan.

Trump and his cohorts have not done our following generations any favors.

Pat A.'s avatar

These clowns need to recognize that tactical proficiency does not always result in victory. Please see the Vietnam War and the American Civil War.

KJGallegos's avatar

They didn’t even use those ships. Malcolm is a good resource to hear about the Iranian military structure.

I'll be doing another Save America Movement weekend war update this Sunday at 11 am ET with Malcolm and Denver Riggleman.

tRUMP & Kegsbreath thought they could just show up and the war would be over in a day or two....these are 2 bumbling idiots that are causing nothing but death and destruction everywhere they go......

Ezra Levin from Indivisible sent out a pre NK Day email with the following words: "Trump is flailing. He's doing what all weakening authoritarians always do - lashing out, escalating, creating new crises to distract from the last ones." Disturbing as this may be, it's also a sign of hope that in his panic he may well be on his way to destroying his own regime. Let's keep pushing him down. NK Day, for one thing, is sure to make his head explode and send him off the rails. He'll be on Truth Social from his toilet seat at 3 a.m. for sure.

They have all convinced each other that they know what they are talking about. They are the only ones who don't know that they don't.

Trump sounds like Barney Guggenheim! Jackie Gleason's drunken bartender.
