For my fellow DUers confused by the United States war with Iran:

[surfered]

The President is now simultaneously claiming that he won the war, is currently wining the war, needs help to win the war, and needs no help to win the war.

All to destroy the nuclear program he claims to have already destroyed last year.

Hope this helps.

[walkingman]

1. Yep, Jibber...jabber always explains failure.

[Shermann]

2. And we need $200 billion to win that war which is already won. nt

[peppertree]

55. And, of course: why would Nuttyyahoo have used Epstein dirt to extort Cheeto into said war?

All the Epstein files have been already released, don'tchaknow.

[Emile]

3. Yep, that makes it easy to understand.

lol

[mahatmakanejeeves]

4. Thank you. I am now knowledgeable. About what, I don't know. NT

[COL Mustard]

22. I feel stupider after

Any event where I listen to him speak. He’s personally removed at least 25 IQ points from my already room temperature intelligence.

[Spazito]

5. That makes everything crystal clear...

[struggle4progress]

6. Hims brain wires is crossed and causing a short circus in hims head

[Joinfortmill]

17. Hahaha

[FailureToCommunicate]

21. True. And that malady is widespread in Congress and with MAGAites.

7. "And the Strait of Hormuz is a very quick, simple and easy job, but I can't do it"

[BattleRow]

35. Damn strait!

[wnylib]

36. Good one.

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

50. Ha!

[usonian]

8. He thrives on kaos, to disract from Epstein, and physical chaos to declare his "marshall" law

[wnylib]

38. Oh my. When you said he thrives on chaos,

I had a quick mental image memory of Maxwell Smart and his sidekick, Agent 99, fighting against their arch enemy, CHAOS.

Except to them, CHAOS was an enemy, not their friend, even though Smart constantly created chaos in his wake.

[usonian]

42. Bernie "KAOS" Kopell inside.

Chaos, with a "K"

[area51]

56. OT, but I wanted to add

that Barbara Feldon recently had a birthday: she's 93 now.

[wnylib]

57. Wow. Didn't know she was still alive.

[TBF]

9. translation

orange guy is giving Bibi cover, because it's a great distraction from sinking poll numbers, devastating economy, and epstein/trump files. all orange guy wants to do is make billions and stay out of jail.

[Buckeyeblue]

28. Ironically he has ruined the 1 thing he can point to--lower gas prices

Honestly, that was only thing that seemed to be cheaper. And now that's gone. Gas is higher today than it ever was under Biden. $3.99 in my southwest Michigan town.

[Iggo]

39. You forgot, eggs are only twice as expensive as they used to be, instead of ten times as expensive.

[malaise]

10. Nailed it

Rec

[Swede]

11. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[surfered]

18. 😁

[Amaryllis]

12. Thank you for illluminating the situation.

[twodogsbarking]

13. Well, that seems, well, Trump.

[33taw]

14. That was yesterday. Let's see what today brings.

[surfered]

19. Truly

[thesquanderer]

15. Trump is an Escher drawing come to life. (n/t)

[HarryM]

25. That's an insult to Escher!

His works are very well thought out.
Just look at his three metamorphosis works,

[Joinfortmill]

16. Omg. He's a demented horse's ass.

[mwmisses4289]

20. Thank you for your explanation that makes everything as clear as mud.

[KPN]

23. Thank you for that excellent explanation surfered. It all makes sense now!

[HarryM]

24. That just makes it confusing for some

For others, it is quite clear that he hasn’t a clue, and is lying his posterior off.

[La Coliniere]

26. What else can we expect from this "stable genius"?

His ability to appraise a situation is the greatest we’ve ever seen!

[BattleRow]

51. Well,a stable is where most horses asses are,right?

[orangecrush]

27. Perfectly clear

[spooky3]

29. And all after he tore up the agreement that Pres. Obama had negotiated with Iran. Nt

[sop]

30. If only the Japanese would send Godzilla...

[LetMyPeopleVote]

31. For this thread

[underpants]

32. 😂😂😂😂😂

[dalton99a]

41. +1

[surfered]

54. Those are great!

[Turbineguy]

33. Thanks! That really clears things up!

[ZDU]

34. He's a fucking mad man

He's ill and will not live forever

[Iggo]

37. ...and also that it's not a war.

[newdeal2]

40. You forgot that we should be grateful for the higher gas prices

Trump is saving us...from something bad...

[Pluvious]

43. And it's actually "NOT a war"

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

49. Haha. The not-a-war War

[Javaman]

44. You mean the Epstein war. nt

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

48. +1

[Cherokee100]

45. Its all

It's all about the Epstein files and how much money, trump is putting in his pocket/off shore bank accounts.

[Ilikepurple]

46. Why flip flop when your base and, to a lesser extent, the media will let you just get away with contradictory claims?

Once you accept a contradiction, it’s hard to refute its constituent statements both in logic and practice. We voters generally disfavor flip floppers as being insincere opportunists, but what do we say when someone holds opposite views concurrently? One would hope that our response as a voting population would be even more severe, but alas we unsuccessfully are relegated to arguing against both propositions simultaneously. I think it is rather successful at muddling our minds’ natural and learned logical intuition.

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

47. Sums it up. The decision-making here is almost as bad as the job market.

[Aussie105]

52. Trump won't be happy

until the rest of the world is as confused and in as much of a shambles as the inside of his head.

Job only partly done, but he and his flying monkeys are working on it.

The pointless deaths and destruction are his and Bibi's contribution to the world.

You can thank them later.
The WW2 Mussolini 'reward' might be appropriate.
Or the Sadam Hussein 'reward'.
Either one will do.

One thing I have been wondering about though:
The US has declared Iran the 'bad guy who shouldn't have nukes' and it's ok to murder their leadership.
What happens if Iran decides the US is the 'bad guy', and shouldn't have nukes, then repays the leadership murder part of the drama?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

53. I agree with Professor Snyder

[jfz9580m]

58. Interesting quote

Timothy Snyder? I have heard of him. He is a history professor who moved to Canada.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

59. Stealing!
