According to the President, he then called off the strike “10 minutes” beforehand when he learned that 150 people would die.
According to one study,
Trumps sanctions on Venezuela could be responsible for up to 40,000 deaths. No one really has a precise number. One thing a person can bet on, it’s in the thousands.
I doubt 150 deaths mean squat to him.
He simply lies about everything. Who could be surprised he lies about not knowing what the fuck he’s doing? Or about making impulsive, stupid decisions and then backing off?
Also Trump will end medical care for his own countrymen, allow children at the border to die, praise the killer’s who rule many countries.
Trump simply found out his name would be attached to the strike with no way to blame someone.
Also he would be ask to visit our troops in a war zone and we all know the world’s grandest sissy leader would be a no show.
Now is EarAche a ‘play’ on Eric or does Eric have some disabling hearing/balance issue?
I just remember seeing a photo of him in his younger days and he was quite the porker. (I appreciate he lost the weight but I keep going over and over in my mind and ALL the Ivana/Donald kids are not very attractive; Ivanka has had LOTS of facial surgery – she had an overbite that could enable her to eat pumpkins thru a fence – so ‘she’ is proof that you can look quite attractive after LOTS of facial surgery.) AND I don’t think he looks attractive at all so I say, hey, Donald SENIOR, stop talking about your ‘great genes’ because BOTH ‘your’ parents died of Alzheimer’s and if “I” was related to you I would have multiple insurance policies for ‘long term care.’
I know this is mean. I know it. I am an overweight 68yo white woman. BUT ‘I’ don’t put myself/my family out there as some exemplar of ‘good genes’ so the hooey on the whole family (except for Barron, he really is turning out to look the best in the whole family and now HE is taller than his Dad – anybody else notice we don’t see Barron so much now that he has really shot up?) is just dumb. Trump is the kind of guy who will inspire ALL of his children to write biographies later in life how horrible he was to them growing up. He disparages all his kids all the time.
He was PROUD Don Jr and Ivanka tried to get him to rewrite his will to disinherit Tiffany JUST BECAUSE she was not an Ivana-kid.
Generations of horrible people.
NAH, I just think Chris is tired of the bullshit. Like Pompeo LAST week.
When I turned on the news yesterday I saw he had ordered than called back the ‘retaliation strikes’ and I started crying. THIS IS NO WAY TO RUN OUR FOREIGN POLICY.
He pushes and pushes and pushes and PUSHES and then says, CALL ME!
If “I” were an Iranian official I would say WHO wants to talk to a crazy person.
Never had a golden shine, it was always pure yellow.
These folks on the right must be butt hurt all the things they seem to be pulling out of it:
“RUSH: So I got an interesting email. “Mr. Limbaugh, what do you think or who do you think is really stirring up this business with Iran?” It’s a good question, 'cause you know who’s buddy-buddy with Iran and who has been over there attempting to undermine Trump administration on policy with Iran is none other than John Kerry – the haughty John Kerry, who served in Vietnam.”
Wallace and Smith are not representative of Fox News because they are usually honest and contentious towards some of Fox opinionators like Hannity. The Fox “News” that Trump watches is Fox & Friends.
Must have been George Soros’ day off.
" she had an overbite that could enable her to eat pumpkins thru a fence "
Next time give WARNING I was swallowing some coffee ! LOL !
pah-DUM! [rimshot]
One scenario that has not been adequately explored: When Trump made the obligatory call to Putin to fill him in, Vlad said “no” and Trump called the whole thing off. Were the lives Trump was so concerned about Russians operating the missile sites?
First off, I’m happy we didn’t attack Iran. That’s a good thing.
Why not? (1) the whole crisis could well have been a propaganda ploy to make Trump appear reasonable and human.
(2) Maybe Trump is just impulsive and senile (doesn’t remember what they told him about casualties earlier)
(3) Both of the above.
It’s obvious he can’t process information, suffers agonies of indecision in any dicey situation, listens to varying views, finally makes an impulsive choice based on his famous “gut,” then goes back to indecision again and often reneges on the first choice. He almost un-chose Pence after the announcement there. He can’t think it through to see which side gets the 51 percent and which side 49, and once having chosen more or less blindly he gets cold feet and wants a clean slate. He knew what the casualty range would be, or rather was told in the beginning. He panicked and lied about it. And the whole world knows.
Oi. I wuz gonna nail your bleedin’ ‘ead tuh the floor so I got me trusted ‘ammer an’ it wuz then that I noticed it wuz a new one. Well, I couldn’t mess that up on your hard bleedin’ noggin, could I? Sose, I’ll let you off this time cos I’m a right jolly old bloke you ungrateful sod.
How about this: Trump was repeatedly told that the air strikes would result in about 150 casualties, but he failed to comprehend what anyone was telling him until about ten minutes before they were set to go. Upon finally understanding what he had been told a dozen over the last several days, he decided to call the strike off
and while the democratic “leadership” was weighing in on this issue, a pin dropped, and drowned out all the sound lol
The Democrats are not the enemy here, Cupcake.
The Potemkin President calls off strike that never was.
exactly my point, and the democrats can all this out, another failed deal, another empty threat. That is unless they actually want this…
