"Trump has declared a full and complete victory in Iran". Oh, for the love of God, pull this delusional, babbling idiot out of the White House and send him to a hospital for the criminally insane.
This HAS to stop!!!!

CENTCOM refused Kegsbreath requests to bomb civilian infrastructure in Iran, the only thing left for Krasnov to do was surrender or explain why the military was refusing to obey Kegsbreath's requests, they weren't orders (he was protecting himself) they were requests.

(8,958 posts)If it was a 'request' and they granted it, THEY would be the war criminals.
Even after Hegseth purged most of the really smart ones, there are still brains among the remaining brass; probably smart enough not to let him see how smart and honorable they are lest they be purged earlier too.

Id never thought about anything like that until I saw that episode. Still troubling. The worst lesson in the world to have to learn: when YOU are the only one left after a global cataclysm.

(11,201 posts)Senate, House, completely toxic lame-duck status, and Impeachment that should draw enough GOP votes to convict and forever make him ineligible for ANY office ever again.
Honestly, that SHOULD have happened in January 2021 already and we would never have had the last 16 months of lunacy and chaos... Thanks Mitch!

(38,808 posts)Impeachment 3.0 would end the same way as 1.0 & 2.0. You won't get 67 Senators to convict.
MFer is there until Jan 20, 2029. The GOP is accomplishing its goals of destroying the Federal Govt. They won't abandon him now.

(1,038 posts)1) Make sure the lie is so big that no one would believe it was made up.
2) Repeat it often enough so that it becomes the truth.
"The big lie is the name of a propaganda technique, originally coined by Adolf Hitler in Mein Kampf, who says The great masses of the people
will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one, and denotes where a known falsehood is stated and repeated and treated as if it is self-evidently true," From: https://www.populismstudies.org/Vocabulary/big-lie/#:~:text=The%20big%20lie%20is%20the,the%20people%E2%80%A6%20will%20more%20easily

(628 posts)When negotiating with Trump. One stipulation that must be included and cannot be omitted is the requirement that Trump announce that he lost in the deal. Doesnt matter whether he won or not. He has to publicly state thats he lost. Or no deal.

(23,408 posts)Sad, but true. The reality is there will be one-issue voters and the like who will never vote for democrats. The only way for democrats to appeal to this
voting block is for democrats to run as republicans, take that stupid party over, destroy it once and for all, wait until all of the unserious voters die of old age, then for those elected republican democrats can change party affiliation back to democrat once sanity has been restored to how people vote.

(2,887 posts)made it much worse. The first step is to neutralize Trump and the war powers act is probably the best way to do that. But then we have some major work to do, even to begin repairing the damage that Trump caused in the past 30 days. This needs to be at the core of our messaging for the November elections. The overriding message should be:
