So we can expect this kind of shit leading up to the election. Buckle up, it’s gonna suck.

“Cocked and loaded.” What a pathetic little man.

Consistency and ‘making sense’ are clearly not Donnie’s forte. Ever.

Typical Trump. Impulsively decides for a military strike, then impulsively backs down. My guess is not concerned with saving (Iranian) lives, but with political consequences.

Killing people over a downed surveillance drone would be murder, possibly a war crime.

Trump caring about people is like my cat caring about mice.

They are a much weakened nation today than at the beginning of my Presidency, when they were causing major problems throughout the Middle East. Now they are Bust!….


For a busted nation they sure seem to consume a lot of time and energy, and produce a lot of angst and consternation, within Trump's administration and our government in general.

Bullshit. Had the mission been called off for so- called operational reasons to due a perceived increased risk of casualties , how would he have a specific number? Next he’ll list the names of those he “saved “. Lie, cheat steal. Can’t believe ANYTHING coming out of this Administration.

Donnie has the “cocked” part right. And I’m betting Bolt-On was “loaded”.

If you want to save lives fire Bolton and the guy over your shoulder in this photo.

We should always remember the neocons for FUBAR-ing the Middle East. Iran and Iraq were engaged in a war that was keeping them both contained. The neocons convinced Dubya that we could “take out” Saddam and the Iraqi people would love us for the liberation. Hell, “their oil will even pay for our incursion,” we were told. With Saddam removed and Iraq a basket case of a country, Iran no longer had a threat along its western border. Hence, they became an emboldened disruptor in the Middle East.

I will be glad when the oil runs out over there. They will be left with nothing to offer the West and will soon be dumped upon the trash heap of the world. Maybe, too, our government will quit lying to us about our true intentions in the Middle East.

Infantile, foolish, chaotic child. Infantile, foolish, chaotic adult. Infantile, foolish, chaotic businessman. Infantile, foolish, chaotic President. There seems to be a pattern here.

The phrase is “locked and loaded”, not cocked and loaded.

And what’s unsaid in [1] is that we supported Saddam Hussein throughout that war.

Maybe Donnie should throw himself in an erupting volcano to plug it up and save lives, too…

It would be a tight fit…

Can you imagine the flaccid feeling Bolton, Cotton, Graham and Pompeo must be experiencing right now?
