Hegseth can talk about Armageddon all he wants, but the 7 Signs have not yet occurred, so he's talking through his ass, and could even be said to be blaspheming, as many have done before him. Some of those signs (according to believers) are:
1) The Rapture
2) The Great Tribulation (persecution of Christians and the death of 1/4 of the Earth's population from hunger, war, death, and wild animals, plus a lot more nasty shit)
3) The return of the Prophet Elijah
4) The building of a new Temple in Jerusalem
In other words, we ain't there yet. We may be close, but close only counts in horseshoes and nuclear bombs.
I just wanna make a point about Erwin Schrödinger's famous thought experiment. (note the umlaut, and it's pronounced "shraydinger" with a hard g).
The contents of the box are a quantum superposition of two states: live cat and dead cat. But the state of the cat is not being observed, hence we don't know whether it is alive or dead.
When the box is opened, we observe the cat, which is to say, the quantum uncertainty is resolved. The cat is revealed to be either alive or dead, not both.
"And that’s our Schroedinger’s (sic) Trump, both the most powerful man in the universe and simultaneously helpless as a kitten to stop the murderous mess he himself made by attacking Iran unprovoked ..."
Trump is not hidden; he is not in a box. He is revealed for all to see, and we see him for what he is. If we want to use an example from the world of science, he is an unstable isotope, ready to decay at any moment, and in the process that decay will release enormous amounts of energy and destroy everything in his path. All that is required is the right catalyst. Unfortunately he is surrounded by such.
However, too many observers (his followers) have filters on their senses, and those filters are in a very real sense a "reality distortion field." They see and hear what they want to see and hear, regardless of what he actually says. This is how the standard MAGA can resolve the paradox of a man who is the anti-christ being their Lord and Savior, or how they can believe that he cares about them.

There's ignorance in the sense of not knowing something, and then there's deliberate, sustained denial.
You can starve to death in the middle of a supermarket if you just SIT there.
Kid just texted me about all this. His thinking is that Schumer wants this, because it will make it easier for Dems to win in November. It's a campaign strategy. Give him all the rope he needs to hang the whole damn crew. Oy.
I wouldn't be suprised if Iran didn't have an Ace up their sleeve, i don't want to see a civilation ended, but it may require a heavy toll, peace be with us all!
What is his status? Is he a government employee? If so, he's violating the emoluments clause. Is he a foreign agent? If so, is he registered under FARA? Being a Trump family member, he can do what he wants. The Supremes said so.
1. Iran capitulates to Trump’s demands for unconditional surrender or whatever his latest demands are - I give this outcome a probability of LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL forever.
2. Trump goes full TACO
3. Trump goes partial TACO, blows a bunch of stuff up, and leaves everyone else to clean up his mess
4. Trump doesn’t TACO, and instead blows Iran to bits, and maybe even drops a nuke or two
I legit don’t know what’s going to happen tonight. Isn’t that exciting? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED??
I'm surprised his pal Mr. Bonesaw isn't screaming at him not to drop a nuke because the fallout will hit Saudi Arabia as well. But, of course, Orange Foolius knows better than anyone else. He's convinced nuclear fallout will stay confined within Iran's borders. It's not inconceivable that fallout could reach Israel either, so why isn't Bibi trying to rein him in?
From Iranian media:
"Iran calls on young people to form human chains around power plants as Trump deadline looms
President Masoud Pezeshkian says 14m people ‘declared their readiness to sacrifice their lives’ for defence of Iran"

Trump threatening to obliterate Iran while astronauts are out in space?
We're in the "Planet of the Apes" timeline.
Does the FIFA Peace Prize mean NOTHING any more?

They make it up as they go along.

Cue "It's the exact same picture" meme.
"Extortion" is a revealing tell/projection/whatever.
He really thinks other countries should be paying protection money directly into his pocket.

Hah! 🤔😉 nice one…
I didn't think it possible, but I've come to the conclusion that Trump is more ignorant now than when he first took office in 2017.
"Can’t tell you. I don’t know." Furiously plays his invisible squeezebox.
Trump and his GOP enablers ARE indeed ruining a civilization: that of the US.
Or, maybe human civilization altogether. Thanks, Republicans.
Thank God we have Schumer and Jeffries to take some swift decisive action if this ends in a stalemare or something
I'd like to know where the rest of the Democrats are. State governors, for example.
Kid just texted me about all this. His thinking is that Schumer wants this, because it will make it easier for Dems to win in November. It's a campaign strategy. Give him all the rope he needs to hang the whole damn crew. Oy.
Strongly worded letters! Schumer will peer over his bifocals! Maybe Jeffries will use a swear word to sound tough! Those two are so useless.
I wouldn't be suprised if Iran didn't have an Ace up their sleeve, i don't want to see a civilation ended, but it may require a heavy toll, peace be with us all!
How much would you have to charge to be in a room negotiating with whiny nepo baby Jared Kushner?

There are several potential outcomes here.
1. Iran capitulates to Trump’s demands for unconditional surrender or whatever his latest demands are - I give this outcome a probability of LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL forever.
2. Trump goes full TACO
3. Trump goes partial TACO, blows a bunch of stuff up, and leaves everyone else to clean up his mess
4. Trump doesn’t TACO, and instead blows Iran to bits, and maybe even drops a nuke or two
I legit don’t know what’s going to happen tonight. Isn’t that exciting? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED??
He'll TACO. Most of all, he thrills in the power of the drama. He'll fire someone tomorrow. Or today...his excuse to TACO.
All eyes on MEEE! If he actually goes through with a threat, what else can he say next?
I'm surprised his pal Mr. Bonesaw isn't screaming at him not to drop a nuke because the fallout will hit Saudi Arabia as well. But, of course, Orange Foolius knows better than anyone else. He's convinced nuclear fallout will stay confined within Iran's borders. It's not inconceivable that fallout could reach Israel either, so why isn't Bibi trying to rein him in?
Those mountains are a natural fallout wall. They'll contain it. Just like no one can attack the US because we have an ocean.
Oh I pick 3
Concur. Partial TACO.
He doesn't either ! That's the fun part. Tune in tonight at 8, prime time, to find out!!
Keeping some decent liquor on hand for surprise guests can come in handy at times like this.
5) Bibi orders Trump to turn over command of US forces to Israel. All done. Golf time!
Holy Shitsnacks the insane disjointed senile ramblings!
SOMEBODY MAKE IT STOP!!111!!!!1!!1!!
