Let's Get Ready to Rumble!

From CNN:

"US officials sharply condemned Iran on Tuesday as "provocative" and "irresponsible" after it conducted its first missile test since President Donald Trump took office. 

The US Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, had strong words for Iran following UN Security Council discussions on reports of Iran conducting a ballistic missile test. 

"This is absolutely unacceptable," Haley said. "We will act accordingly ... we will be loud."

There is nothing in the recent nuclear agreement between Iran and six other countries, including the United States, that forbids this.

I think we can be pretty clear where this is leading.

I just want to remind people that Iran has three times the population that Iraq did when we invaded Iraq, and has a fully functioning army, not one decimated by ten years of sanctions.  And look how we did in Iraq.  This is going to go really well.



 A little more:  By the way, Iran doesn't have any missiles capable of reaching the U.S. or even Western Europe.  So if Trump does start a war with Iran, guess what country those missiles are going to be headed for.  I hope Israelis will enjoy having twice elected a right wing tool of the Republican party.

My 2 cents says that chances of a major conflict are better than 50-50 and it sucks. This fuck is pure nutso.

The Trump administration is calling someone else "provocative and irresponsible"? It's beyond self-parody.

Hmm, I thought that other nations were going to fear and respect us so much more under Orange Julius Caesar.

I put the chances at better than 90-10; i.e. an absolute certainty if he is allowed to get away with it. I remember tough guy Reagan attacking Nicaragua, population 3 million, and Grenada, population 110,000. Like Reagan and Bush, Trump just has to propagandize his supporters into thinking some pathetic little defenseless country is an existential threat to the United States, and then off we go. Of course, Reagan was only a terminally corrupt warmonger, and Bush was a gullible fool, not a mentally ill bully, so there is a good chance that Trump will pick a target where we have even less chance of success than we had in Iraq. His favorite enemy seems to be Iran, but maybe Mexico or even China will be the target of his megalomaniac belligerence. And God knows, after yesterday, maybe he's getting ready to invade Australia.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination that worked so we
