Trump Presidency Round 2

[GATTACA!]

I think a simple “no” would be the appropriate answer here.

My hunch (it's only a hunch) is that Trump and the admin are about to restart the hostilities against Iran this weekend.

- It sure looks like today's shooting was not the usual staged affair and not planned into this weekend's events
- Trump is not attending his son's wedding this weekend
- How interesting that when the House clearly had the votes, under the War Powers Resolution, to introduce a concurrent resolution forcing the President to terminate the use of U.S. Armed Forces in unauthorized hostilities in Iran and stop funding under Section 5(c) Privileged Resolutions, Mike Johnson sent them home early without a vote, where they won't be back until Tuesday
- Also interesting that Tulsi Gabbard announces her resignation before the weekend - We all know she has largely dissented from the aggressive stance and war against Iran
- Also, Trump is talking up being near a final agreement with Iran (like he always is), but it's clear that: Iran doesn't trust Trump and Netanyahu and largely still has a lot of missile and drone capacity; and that Iran has strong demands Trump, and for sure, Netanyahu, won't agree to (letting Iran manage the strait, wanting Israel to stop hostilities in Lebanon, and Iran wanting to retain its right to enrich its uranium).

I think he's planning something big over this long holiday weekend that will justify continued hostilities against Iran, or at a minimum, that will enable him to buy more time before being shut down by Congress (again, which is back on Tuesday) via the The 30-Day Safe Withdrawal Extension; hopefully, nothing that results in a Declaration of War against Iran.

We will see...

Lots of tinfoil hat in that last one...

Yikes.



Disclaimer - there probably was fraud committed in Minnesota by immigrants that are from Somalia.

Resigns due to husband’s cancer. I’m betting Trump gave it to him through some super secretive method only the CIA knows about.

It was actually Biden, but Trump takes credit for it.

That was one. There's one or two others, like all those staged assassination attempts! I don't know where the GOP finds all these paid actors that are willing to trade their lives or life in prison to help make Trump look sympathetic. Must be the role of a lifetime!

Hey, who knows, but even Reuters reported on Friday:

"A source familiar with the matter said that Gabbard had been forced out by the White House. The White House did not respond to a request for comment, but Davis Ingle, a White House spokesperson, said on X that Gabbard was departing in light of her husband's diagnosis. Trump has hinted in the past at differences with Gabbard on their approach to Iran, saying in March that she was "softer" than him on curbing Tehran's nuclear ambitions. In April, several sources told Reuters that Gabbard could lose her role in a broader cabinet shakeup. A senior White House official said then that Trump had expressed displeasure with Gabbard in recent months. Another source with direct knowledge of the matter said the president had asked allies for their thoughts on potential replacements for his intelligence chief."

Also, I already stated, yesterday's shooting doesn't have the same MO as previous likely-staged shootings like the DC WHCD one and so looks to be real - A crazed individual who had been regularly taunting Secret Service at the WH.

Not looking so good...

Israeli Security Sessions: It's reported that Netanyahu convened his security cabinet to review the emerging agreement. Israeli officials have expressed serious concern over the deal, referring to it as "very bad" and voicing unease over the prospect of unresolved threats from Hezbollah in Lebanon.

 

[TorontoGold]

Lmao art of the deal

 

[calvegas04]

Fucking waste of time and money

 

[GATTACA!]

Fucking waste of time and money

It's symbolic. It's the cost of a full tank of gas thanks to Trump.

 

[GATTACA!]

The White House Intervened to Get a $620 Million Deal for a Company Tied to Donald Trump Jr.

About three months before the Pentagon announced plans to lend money to Vulcan Elements, Trump Jr.’s venture capital firm took an undisclosed stake in the company.

But muh Hunter Biden!!

 

[NDWarrior]

LMFAO! How can there be any peace agreement when cessation of bombing / attacking Lebanon is required by Iran for any deal?

Sure, the latest bullshit media hyping of an imminent agreement (for the 100th time!) is in full force, but yet look at these terms.

That last term is hollow as all Israel gonna do is say "so sorry charlie, we see Hezbollah everywhere and so have to keep bombing and bulldozing homes." That will cause this agreement to fall apart so fast, unless Iran finally capitulates on this new Lebanon Genocide because there is no chance in Hell that Israel will and there is NOTHING that Trump can do about it as Daddy Bibi calls the shots on this...

US-Iran MoU said to include Lebanon ceasefire, Iran vows not to seek nukes, pledge to discuss uranium stockpile as soon as MoU takes effect
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The ceasefire will also apply to Lebanon, Channel 12 says, although Israel would be free to counter immediate threats by Hezbollah.

The Channel 12 report sets out the key terms of the MoU as follows:

• The ceasefire will be extended for 60 days
• Traversing the Strait of Hormuz will be unimpeded and unlimited, with no tolls and no Iranian interference
• Iran will remove all naval mines it has placed in the strait within 30 days
• The US blockade of Iranian ports will be lifted gradually, according to the renewal of passage for shipping through the strait
• The withdrawal of American forces deployed to the area since the start of the war will be dependent on the reaching of a permanent agreement between the sides, including on the nuclear issue
• Iran will issue a commitment not to seek nuclear weapons, not to try to develop nuclear weapons and not to try to purchase nuclear weapons
• Iran will commit that the first issues to be discussed in the negotiations on a permanent accord, which will begin as soon as the MoU is signed, will be how to dispose of its stockpile of enriched uranium, and how to limit uranium enrichment in Iran
• The US, for its part, will pledge that at the end of the negotiations, it will ease sanctions on Iran, and unfreeze Iranian funds
• During the 60 days of talks, the US will suspend some sanctions to enable Iran to sell oil without limitations
• The 60-day ceasefire extension will apply to Lebanon, but Israel will be able to act against immediate threats from Hezbollah.

 

[Old Man Mike]

The most egocentric maniac in history.

I've been fully expecting him to inform his "adoring world" that he has decided to rule on in the USA forever. "They can't do without me."
My guess at his timeline for this is next year at this time. The great "fun" will be seeing how many voters, FOXers, military, FBI personnel, ICE personnel, congress persons, Supreme Court justices, Proud Boys et al stand up and "fight" for that abomination. He has almost built the pieces of the necessary infrastructure. Why anyone would think that anything is beyond this POS is beyond me. ... and I predicted the "Arc d'Triumph ...er ...Trump" a while ago.

"Peace Prize", Greenland takeover, Cuba takeover, Venezuela takeover, "Chosen One" of Israel (self proclaimed), Trump not Kennedy Center, Trump ballroom, Trump looking pool, get rid of the senior generals, fire the state department veteran employees, take all enemies to court, "I'm all about the Bible", Thug Slush Fund, ... you can't afford to look closer into detail or the list of outrages that even POS supporters would pale at doing themselves, or the list would never end. Amazing that anyone this ruthless and self-indulgent could arise and tap a latent explosive power gap (MAGAites who feel, somewhat legitimately, ignored by established power) this "successfully."

Boy, the “we could never expect Iran to follow through on a commitment” crowd is going to be PISSED.

I could care less about all that Iran shit. I more concerned with how Israel and Moss Boss Bibi runs the show and controls the narrative.

That last term sticks out like a sore thumb and is likely to cause the whole thing to fall apart. To be clear Trump could give two shits about Lebanon even tho' it has the highest (or 2nd highest) Christian population in the ME and they are suffering plenty including Churches being destroyed and priests being killed. Israel wants to rule the ME with its greater Israel plan and will stop at nothing including a cease fire. It's not going to end well.

 

[ulukinatme]

A uniter, not a divider!

 

[RDU Irish]

Fucking waste of time and money

I disagree - we need larger bills thanks to all the inflation. $250 is just dumb though. Go with $500 or $1000.

 

[drayer54]

Have you considered the DOW is over 50,000?

Given that as Toronto points out, the DOW is over 50K, we may need bigger bills. It kind of makes sense. 250 for 250. Should have started printing them last year.

Couldn't change the law quick enough so they could get the dear leader's image on them.
