One of the main goals of this vanity war is to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Before the war, it was already open. You could have had that without a war, you stupid fuck.
It's another example of one of DfuckingT's basic tactics: create a problem, and then take credit for solving it - "the greatest solution to any problem in the history of the world". Only this time he is not going to be able to solve it, and we (and the rest of the world) will pay a hefty price.

So fucked up -- I went over to FoxNews to see what they were saying about the Iran war. Well their whole front page is pretty much "This is Fine" -- the Laguardia crash, Oooh Mamdani said something someone doesn't like, and a little blurb about Iran. I click the article, and this is the whole thing:
***[Headline]US–Iran direct talks to end conflict may take place in Islamabad this week: report
Direct talks between the United States and Iran on ending the war could be held in Islamabad as early as this week, Reuters reported on Monday.
Until now, intermediaries including Egypt, Pakistan, and several Gulf states have been relaying messages between Washington and Tehran, a European official also told the news agency.
Iranian media also reported that President Masoud Pezeshkian and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif discussed the war’s impact on regional and global security during a phone call earlier Monday.***
Nothing about Assmouth just making up these negotiations out of whole cloth -- in fact, nothing about him saying anything at all. So that was odd. And is mentioning Islamabad in the headline just a way to tie the Iran-Pakistan talk in and say it's somehow connected? The article had an embedded link to the Reuters article they refer to, and guess what -- it's paywalled. Like, why the fuck isn't Fox doing their *own* reporting on this, and instead relying on a paywalled Reuters article that -- titled "US and Iran give conflicting messages on talks after Trump postpones threatened bombing of power grid - as it happened" -- might have a completely different sense of the situation than the spin Fox is giving? This is the shit my parents are being spoonfed, for fuck's sake -- and they have to hide the real news.
Typical POG from Air Force JAG (Reserve), “No cable? This sucks!”. Lindsey, Lindsey, Lindsey, excuse me, Major Graham, I know you don’t know combat arms, but you know leadership and you know wills and you know air conditioning, but…hey, look over there! See that unguarded bag of beef jerky with the Snickers Bars on top of it? Better grab all that sweet Poguey Bait before some Marine catches you and makes you dig his foxhole for him! Go get it now. Hurry!
Republicans love nothing but power which is why they refused to convict Trump twice for clear violations of the law. and for insurrection, so it's unlikely that he will be convicted of waging war on the American People or giving Aid and Comfort to our enemies. no matter how much he deserves to be.
blamed Trump the government shutdown! "The Democrats have offered to open up everything but ICE. Ted Cruz and I said, 'OK let's accept their offer...' Senator Thune submitted that to President Trump. As is his right, [Trump]
said 'No! No deals with the Democrats.
' It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the
end of the week but the President said 'no deal.'"
Senator Kennedy, as a medical doctor, will you please just acknowledge that vaccines work, and Edward Jenner is why people don’t die of smallpox anymore.
can they hitch a ride in a submarine and get shot out of the torpedo tubes? saw it in a movie or a cartoon once, should work as well as anything else this administration has tried.
“If you end up hitting Iranian power plants, how is that different than what Russia is doing to Ukraine?”
“Well, the Ukrainian power plants are in Ukraine. That’s like way up there, next to Sweden or London. Also too, “Ukrainian” is way more letters than “Iranian”. And there’s a “k”. No “k” in “Iranian”. I can’t believe you are asking such a stupid question.”
Lindsey likes his tee times with Trump.
Gross!

Probably not Iran's drones. Probably.

As always, if Graham is that keen, he should be thrown out of an airplane over the island with some military gear and allowed to get on with it.
Heck, throw in a parachute, just to prolong his "fun."

Ta, Marcie. That this cabinet is too spineless to 25th ol' 47 says everything about them, and none of it is good.
Kakistocracy says HUH?

This is the DONALD TRUMP SHUTDOWN!
Even Republicans are acknowledging it.
It just seems so strange to hear them acknowledge the obvious though... and it's breaking fucking news each time they tell the truth.
Senator Kennedy, as a medical doctor, will you please just acknowledge that vaccines work, and Edward Jenner is why people don’t die of smallpox anymore.
Well, it IS Tuesday...
in Iran.
No, it was confusing Dear Leader so we switched Iran to Eastern Time for the remainder of the war + 2 weeks.
President TACO, what a motherfucking pussy. So is Senator Dick-In-Mouth-And-Ass Graham
Shh…he doesn’t want people to know about his rent boys! His sister would die of shame if his gayness was outed.
Iwo Jima was a fucking nightmare.
How are the Marines going to get to Kharg Island since the navy won’t go into the straits?
Parachute them in. They'll be like clay pigeons only bloodier.
Remember Tarawa?
can they hitch a ride in a submarine and get shot out of the torpedo tubes? saw it in a movie or a cartoon once, should work as well as anything else this administration has tried.
That was the Three Stooges “It’s a whale of a whale!” “All right, let’s kill it with our sledgehammers!” BOOM!
Everyone who believed Trump when he promised to bomb Iran’s power plants in 48 hours, raise your hands. Higher, I can’t see them. Higher?
Bueller??
“If you end up hitting Iranian power plants, how is that different than what Russia is doing to Ukraine?”
“Well, the Ukrainian power plants are in Ukraine. That’s like way up there, next to Sweden or London. Also too, “Ukrainian” is way more letters than “Iranian”. And there’s a “k”. No “k” in “Iranian”. I can’t believe you are asking such a stupid question.”
