What the fuck did that fool expect to happen

[malaise]

What's why we have international laws and conventions.

Lock up this lunatic.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Ah, my dear malaise, you know he doesn't care about stuff like that.

I wish we could lock him up.

If only!

[malaise]

3. I'm pissed CaliforniaPeggy

and M$Greedia is pretending like this is not all his doing. Iran is a sovereign state and the Con committed a major violation of international law.

By the way Nora O'Donnell is awful. I can see why CBS hired here.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

29. Nora was actually the head of NBC news!!! Worse

to me..Chuck Todd. Easiest job in world...no prep, no studying, just show up.

[calimary]

31. Chuck Todd is at the absolute bottom of the list.

They can’t sideline him soon enough. I heard his ratings during the week are down.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

58. Now is the time for MSNBC and CNN to clean house.

Employ only the best and the brightest with gravitas. Surely there are plenty of people like that out there? So sick of when we, on DU, know 10x more than they do.

[bdamomma]

60. We really do

our homework and educate each other. I get all my news here.

Thanks to all of you.


I will call my Senators and Rep tomorrow, this death wish of this POS bully needs to stop. Putin is celebrating now.

[Pepsidog]

75. I can't stand him. Give his Time slot to Joy Reid she deserves it.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

64. it's about the money ...

What kind of deal did the Saudis and Putin dangle in front of Don the Con? Is this to make up for the failure to start a war over the "attack" on Saudi refineries earlier?

He's about ego and money -- that's how he's controlled by remote masters.

[Andy823]

2. He had no clue

what would happen when he killed the general, it was simply another botched plan to take the impeachment thing out of the news cycle. He never "thinks" before he acts.

One thing for sure no matter what he or his minions say, he did NOT make the world safer!

[malaise]

4. No clue is kind

He's a complete buffoon - that horrific mixture of ignorance and arrogance.

[BKDem]

8. Yep, clueless is almost a complement.

I don’t have the words to truly do justice to Trump’s cosmic self-absorption and stupidity. He is in a class by himself, which he probably thinks is a good thing.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

22. "Dangerously incompetent"

As Joe Biden said this morning.

[TruckFump]

72. +1 EOM

[SCVDem]

51. It's another reason

This asshole must be removed.

He is in violation of his oath to keep us safe.

Do you feel safer?

[bdamomma]

61. He acts

because he does seem to have a mental disability. He knows nothing just hate, division and no empathy.

[uponit7771]

5. Putin didn't tell him so he doesn't know yet

[panader0]

6. This will get very ugly. It's madness. So sad.

[malaise]

9. If ever I needed some Jeopardy relief

tonight is the night.

The Greatest of All Time. The three-night Greatest of All Time (G.O.A.T.) competition will air on ABC beginning Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET. The show will air at the same time on Wednesday and Thursday.

[panader0]

11. The TV is auto-set.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

30. Thanks for heads up. It sure is hard to like any of those brainiacs. Watched

show religiously for four weeks at Christmas with my parents. If making dinner, had to serve at 6:30 or 7:30...but the Jeopardy window had to stay open.

[bdamomma]

62. Oh

James and who else will be there. Austin??

[TruckFump]

73. Watched last night...

...looking forward to tonight's show!

[malaise]

74. Was fabulous

[TruckFump]

78. Totally agree.

I love Jeopardy. Gave up watching if for a few months -- not sure why other than being very busy at the time. But could not miss these champion games.

BTW: Congrats on 200K+ posts!

[gratuitous]

7. Nobody could have predicted!

Except maybe those dirty fucking hippies, and nobody listens to them because sometimes they say swears.

[malaise]

10. Seriously I detest this monster

I can't take much more of this

[OMGWTF]

42. The hippies were right!

I have typed that three times in the last two days. I'm an aging hippie full of love and cannabis!

[C_U_L8R]

12. Now does this Trump idiot know how to stop a war?

The clown has no plan and no clue.

[OMGWTF]

44. Shitler said he knew more than the gererals about war. General Mills maybe.

[MasonDreams]

63. Gen. Mills probably masterfully worked behind the scenes to fight several wars south of the border.

For sugar cane plantation owners / slavers.

Sugar, Sugar ...... You are my candy girl and you got me wanting you.

That's in my head because of the psychological operations warfare of the sixties.

They put a 45 record of The Archies singing their hit Sugar Sugar in my favorite cereal box.
It was FREE !! And I was impressionable !!

Thank dad !! I dissolved one of my baby teeth in a glass of Coca-Cola overnight. Science and chemistry are Cool and sugar diabetes is what they called diabetes before PsyOps.

Update: oops, sorry, turns out the heart disease thing was sugar not fat, except for margarine and processed fats. Oh, and you can't have sugar anymore, we found something worse, corn syrup.

[EndlessWire]

47. I'm afraid he plans to nuke them.

That's why he says he doesn't need an exit plan. I think he always wanted to take them over, and he's probably only planning how to accomplish that--using our troops and our children's lives.

I don't think he's worried about what he's done a bit. I think it's what he wants.

But, he is still impeached, and we will change CiC no matter what the bastard does.

FUCK them all. Especially Turtleman.

Look what Russia is doing in Venezuela...

[Amaryllis]

13. He got exactly what he expected: a major distraction from impeachment and the other

stuff that is surfacing now that will add to impeachable offenses.

[BigmanPigman]

15. And we all predicted it.

He is SOOOOOO predictable sometimes while other times he is impulsive and changes his mind every two minutes.

[Amaryllis]

28. HE is predictable in that he is very good at creating distractions. The bigger the thing he wants to

distract from, the bigger the distraction.

[cwydro]

14. He doesn't think about consequences.

He doesn’t even know what a consequence is.

[malaise]

17. THIS

He has no fucking control - not in a single area of his life.

[cwydro]

19. Yup.

What a fucking mess.

[3catwoman3]

39. His go to response is that flippant, "We'll see what...

...happens.” HE IS SUCH AN ASSHOLE!

[cwydro]

43. Spot on.

[Takket]

16. this from a guy who says he "knows more than the generals"

[malaise]

18. He knows more about everything than every one on the planet

Fucking idiot.

[Traildogbob]

23. Not a word.

All the peacefull things the left want to do for citizens is absurdly expensive.....how you gonna fund, how you gonna fund, but not a word about wars. Guess who will not pay with cash or their children's lies? This is your GOP, lead by GOD. We gettin great!

[Haggis for Breakfast]

24. This will get out of control.

He will NOT be able to contain this.

[Captain Zero]

67. Putin will stop Trump with a single phone call.

Exactly when he feels like it.

[unblock]

20. he got exactly what he wanted.

whatever makes you think that anything about this is a negative from donnie's perspective?

he wanted to get us into a war and he provoked someone into hitting back. this begins a series of escalating retaliations that will get us into full-blown war.

he doesn't care at all that americans have died.

[cwydro]

25. We don't know that any Americans have died.

Iraqi casualties reported at this point.

[OMGWTF]

45. PUTIN got exactly what he wanted -- broken NATO, European Union, and United States.

Now that fker can rebuild the old Soviet Union and be the greatest Russian hero evah!

[rurallib]

21. I bet Putin is just laughing his ass off right now

[spanone]

26. the republicans could walk to the white house and end this goddamn insanity right this minute.

this is alllll fucking self-inflicted by our idiot-in-chief

[totodeinhere]

36. I think they actually might want to but they are afraid to. n/t

[spanone]

37. Profiles in Cowardice.

[shanti]

49. Right??!!

That is what pisses me off the most!

[dewsgirl]

27. They wanted this, because they are fucking psycho and think

the rapture is coming.

[ouija]

32. He does not care

[Beartracks]

33. This IS what they expected. When they claimed to want to STOP a war...

... they were lying.

=========

[napi21]

34. I think he did this because as a war President, he thinks it will lock his reelection! Of course a

distraction is part of it too, but I've heard he's said this belief about war presidents & his reelection is his #1 on his list now.
I'm hoping all those followers of his who wanted to be OUT OOF UNNECESSARY WARS will hold it against him and vote AGAINST HIM in Nov

[totodeinhere]

35. The thing that scares me is I don't see a way to stop him.

The military will follow his orders. We have a maniac with his finger on the button and he is ready to use it.

[RockRaven]

38. He did not know - NOR CARE TO KNOW - what would happen.

Perhaps the most traitorous part of Republicans' abjection and sycophancy in forever deferring to and worshipping at the feet of Trump is his utter disinterest in and disregard for the consequences of his actions.

[Aussie105]

40. I don't get it . . .

Rob a bank and they are after you, lock you up.

Start an illegal war because you want to, and the Law is helpless?

Depends who you are of course. But got to say . . . logic = none, sense it does not make.

[SunSeeker]

41. FEELING SAFER AMERICA???

[Ponietz]

46. Pakistan

Even I know that Iran and Pakistan share a long border, that they have a defense cooperation agreement and shared culture. Not good at all to piss off Pakistan. China would back both of them.

[jalan48]

48. This is what he wants.

[Botany]

50. This is madness ... and this is the war Trump has wanted

[herding cats]

52. This is exactly what he expected.

Our troops there mean nothing to him. None of us do.

[FM123]

53. Yes, lock him up. At Guantanamo Bay.

[MustLoveBeagles]

54. This is exactly what trump wanted to happen

The only thing that surprises me is that it's taken this long for someone to take the bait.

[madaboutharry]

55. Malaise,

He doesn’t think ahead, not even 5 minutes ahead. He lives in a reactive world where consequences are not thought through.

I know I’m not alone in my despair.

[malaise]

79. We're all in this thing together

We got to work it out, we got to work it out

[magicarpet]

56. trDump previously said,... nuclear weapons, we got them,.. why can't we use them ?

Normalizing the idea of using nuclear bombs as common every day weapons.

*****

Behind the scenes: During one hurricane briefing at the White House, Trump said, "I got it. I got it. Why don't we nuke them?" according to one source who was there. "They start forming off the coast of Africa, as they're moving across the Atlantic, we drop a bomb inside the eye of the hurricane and it disrupts it. Why can't we do that?" the source added, paraphrasing the president's remarks.

[mac2766]

57. It's exactly what he thought would happen.

F*CK!!!!!!

[bdamomma]

59. Lock him up!!

Period. Call your Reps and Senators this is time to not be silent do it tomorrow.

[H2O Man]

65. A Nobel Peace Prize?

[malaise]

68. You win the thread

and made me laugh

[H2O Man]

69. He is pathetic.

A sad excuse for a human being. Yet we know he fancies himself a hero at this time.

[malaise]

80. Prescient - you won the thread and then some

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah for his rally comment. Thanks for telling me because I avoided his rally speech.

[H2O Man]

81. I avoided it, too ....

but I had a half-dozen phone calls from associates last night, and it was mentioned a couple of times!

[malaise]

82. The man is sick

Sick on steroids

[H2O Man]

83. It's a tie

for what is worse: (1) he believes this; and (A) he knows he doesn't deserve shit.

[malaise]

84. It's all in his self-loving needy head

What a waste of a human being

[H2O Man]

85. Human compost.

[myohmy2]

66. lock him up?

...hell, the pukes are about to give him a medal,


Washington Post, 1-6-2020

" GOP support for constraining Trump on Iran fades in wake of Soleimani killing "
……...

" “It’s going to be seen all as a political ploy to try to ding the president of the United States — and it’s very hard to side with Iran and a terrorist against the president of the United States,” Meadows said, adding that it was “not the appropriate time or the appropriate vehicle to send a political message.” "

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/gop-support-for-constraining-trump-on-iran-fades-in-wake-of-soleimani-killing/2020/01/06/9d6d0656-30c2-11ea-a053-dc6d944ba776_story.html
……………………………..

...no political message in that political message...

...blind obedience is such a wonderful thing...

[marieo1]

70. Consequences for DJT

He has total disregard for laws and people all his life - it's his MO. Apparently, he has always been able to do that with no consequences. I hope and pray DJT gets his!! His supporters are enabling him to continue this behavior. He needs to be put in prison like anyone else would be if they abused laws and people the way DJT does!! HE needs consequences, big time!!

[TruckFump]

71. IMO, MF 45 expected...

...to draw attention away from his impeachment.

Now he is the WAR POTUS!

[sarge43]

76. Moron never thinks{sic} about consequences.

Until now, he's never had to.

[paleotn]

77. I picture a 4 year old with presidential power

and all of this shit begins to make sense. 4 year old fucks up. Well? That’s what 4 year olds do.

[11 Bravo]

86. Expectations require thinking ahead.

Lard Butt is uniquely unqualified for such an endeavor.
