Hate to say this, but Trump's decision is the wisest he's had so far.

Rumor has it that Putin told him to call it off. Sad that we can't put such speculation to rest, but that's what happens when you have suspiciously concealed meetings with that guy. When people can't trust you, they assume the worst.

Russia accuses US of pushing Iran situation to the brink of war

Really rich coming from someone who annexed part of someone else's country (Ukraine) and put boots on the ground in Syria and Venezuela, but they're right nonetheless.

I expect it's obvious to the whole world what is happening. All that oil in the ground under Iran belongs to us, and we must go kill the Iranians and take it.

Trump said that we're "cocked and loaded" - the title of a 2010 porn film.

I expect Bolton and Pompeo will continue to push for this war, so it may yet happen.

All head-of-state meetings are usually held in the public mens-room, the kind with multiple urinals, which bladder challenged reporters record everything.

He wants a meeting with the Ayatollah. It's reminiscent to his tactics with Kim Jong-un: First threats and insults then opening a door for a personal meeting.

The chief Ayatollah is like a Pope of Shia Islam. Much higher than NorK dictators. You don't call them, they call you.

That happened in Iraq? No, China got thet oil. Same as the minerals in Afghanistan. Keep up with the shell game or lose track of the pea.

The original expression is: "lock and load". Anyone of my age knows this from a famous John Wayne movie... indeed, I'm that old...

Maybe someone showed Trump a video of McCain singing "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran..." and he decided that if McCain liked the idea, he wouldn't do it.

I would rather go with Vlad giving him a call. Now a lot people believe that Vlad has something on the Don. But it's mutual:

Trump: Don't worry your money (billions) is safe with me.
Vlad: Don't worry this secret is safe with me.
Trump: BTW, I was bluffing on Iran.
Vlad: I know. I gave my generals a double Vodka.
Trump: I don't drink.
Vlad: Tell me something I don't know.
Trump: ...

This went on for nearly 20 minutes of the three judges trying to get her to acknowledge that things like toothbrushes and toothpaste, soap and blankets would be considered "safe and sanitary" requirements in a detention centre that holds people for days and weeks... and not once does she concede those might be sanitary things to have.

No accounting for government bureaucracy. Seems pretty whacked to me also. But in a police state, where everyone including you and I are prisoners ... eat your gruel and shut the f**k up.

Welcome to planet Auschwitz. Don't bother asking for whom the Nazis/Commies toll, they toll for you ;-(

And people wonder why I am pessimistic. Because lawyers can justify anything, including lawyers in Nazi Germany or Stalin's Russia.

"Freedom gas"

I must've missed this when the story broke or dismissed it as a satirical article. I mean the Trump admin is pretty bad, but they're not cartoonishly evil, right?

Unbeliever · June 24, 2019, 02:29:56 PM

That's what I call my farts - "freedom gas."

Cartoonishly evil... In the words of Steve Bannon, Trump runs a criminal enterprise. That was even before he entered politics.
