Stock Market Blues

Trump is likely playing golf today as he ponders the outstanding defense briefings he no doubt got from his super qualified group of experts. Can’t imagine a worse knucklehead running the show during these very challenging global decisions. His credentials say alot, flew 7 times on Epstein’s plane, 97 times pleaded the 5th, 34 felony convictions, 71 criminal charges, 26 sexual assault allegations, 6 bankruptcies, 5 draft deferments, 4 indictments, 2 impeachments, 2 convicted companies, 1 fake university shut down, 1 fake charity shut down, $25 million fraud settlement, $5 million sexual abuse verdict, $2 million fake charity judgement, $95 million sexual abuse judgement and a $450 million fraud judgement.

Sad and embarrassing “we the people” think these are the credentials required to lead this country. Add to that he is one stupid mother and is clearly on the verge if not already suffering dementia.

This administration thinks this move shows American leadership and strength…

The world sees the USA claiming they were searching for a diplomatic breakthrough. But we’re lying. To its own people and the world.

So what are the chance Putin Kim or China will ever negotiate in good faith. With this Administration. Or the USA ever again. Trump single handily has destroyed American credibility. Over night. And the cult cheers

I think the blind squirrel might have got the nut this time.
One question now is what he’ll do with it.
The other question is how well our decimated and redirected national security system will deal with the possible threats.
They’ve been concentrating on immigrants with bedpans, hammers and leafblowers.

The problem is, he thinks---or whatever goes on in his brain--in the moment and has no exit plan if this escalates, and it will escalate. Iran just bombed a US base in one of the Gulf emirates (maybe Qatar?). And this time around he has no one like John Kelly or Jim Mattis to show him one. His VP is 39 years old and was a newly minted Senator when Trump chose him, his SecDef is a former National Guard major and not a 4-star general, and his Chief of Staff is a far right bomb thrower, Stephen Miller, and not another 4-star general like Kelly. Oh and his DNI, Tulsi Gabbard? Frozen out because he didn't like what she was telling him because his "instincts" told him otherwise. Like him or not, he actually chose a mostly competent Cabinet his first time around. This time he's surrounded by clueless clowns. Then there's Marco Rubio, and I can tell you this from my vantage point across the Pond--he has zero respect around the world. They see him as a suck up and ass kisser.

Well, he’s certainly taken his big beautiful bill and Ukraine out of the headlines.
Unfortunately even though he insists they should, I doubt that the Nobel committee will give him the prize for a war he alone escalated while he abandoned Ukraine and decimated American healthcare.

Trump is so sloppy he lets everyone know in advance what was planned, how else would Putin warn Iran to move its stockpile ahead of the bombing. There are satellite images that shows a total of 16 shipments entering and leaving Iran's Fordow nuclear facility in the last 24 hours before the attack.

If that doesn’t concern you, how about four civilians tech giant company executives promoted to one rank below general in the army. No working up the ranks, no vetting, what could possibly be the motive?

Trump could easily win his Nobel Prize here, I'd vomit, but he could do it.

All Trump has to do is tweet the US is fully backing a two state solution and convening a G20 meeting to work out an international structure for interim governance. All the Arab states would jump on board immediately. Lift oil sanctions on Iran for China and demand a pathway to reforms. It would work...

Bibi would have none of it obviously but that’s the point, Trump would get the schoolyard pleasure of putting the weaker leader in their place.

But he'd still totally 'ff it up, because Bibi is in charge.

Doesn't need Russia, you could have given Iran the warning by watching CNN.

One of the big reasons our armed forces are so effective are NCOs. You just don't see that in the 3rd world militaries Trump so wants to emulate.
