I'm not a military expert...but.

It seems to me that the grifter is revealing too much in his briefing. He is telling all the details of how the military operation to rescue the airman was pulled off. IS that normal?

He is describing the mission with the glee and naivete of a little kid playing with his Army men. He was clearly in the audience in the Sit room as if he were watching a movie or playing a video game.

He keeps talking about people and scenarios being from central casting. He keeps talking about the genius of the operation. His inexperience and childishness are on full display.

He is a National Security Risk! But we've known that for a long time.

dispatched a dozen Iranian guards while freeing him from the prison camp, then flew the chopper back to base, all the while firing missiles and shooting down enemy aircraft. Sort of like Rambo: First Blood Part II.

Radcliffe (CIA) spoke and sucked up to the Mad King.

It was followed by Kegsbreath being a tough guy, and sucking up to the Mad King...and invoking god...a lot.

I commented on someone else's post -
"There are SO many things wrong with tis briefing. A petulant child and a religious fanatic are in charge. What could go wrong?
Did you hear Kegsbreath call the Iranians impotent? Overcompensating anyone?"

And now questions being asked.

The grifter is delusional and demented and defensive....and rambling. Nothing new.

He is actually contending that the Iranian people want him to blow up their infrastructure.

And he is getting his sadistic pleasure out of describing women protestors being shot in the face.

Oh and he is bragging about the operation as if it was all his idea.

Nothing new.

*****

And now he is riffing about the Obama nuclear deal w/ Iran.

And saying how great it was that he eliminated it.

And now he is puffing his chest about taking out Solemani (sp?).

And he gave himself credit for saying Osama Bin Laden was a bad guy. Brags about his instincts.

He is delusional. Nothing new.

He is being rude to the reporter from the NYT. Nothing new.

And now he is delusionally riffing about deals supposedly being made. And repeating his threats.

He is delusional and very dangerous.

*****

He just riffed about the expression, "to the victor go the spoils".

He screwed it up. He started to call it to the victim go the spoils.

Now he is erratically riffing about war and planes. I'm not actually sure what he is saying.

He is delusional and demented. And he is slurring his words (again) and fading.

And he is riffing about Maduro. And blaming Biden and Kamala. He is off his rocker. Nothing new.

He is demented and dangerous...and should be in a straight jacket.

*****

I thought I was done...but.

When asked a question about the possibility of Iran charging tolls at the Strait of Hormuz. He is saying "we'll" charge tolls at the Strait of Hormuz. Because we won.

When asked about his post. He said god doesn't like what is going on.

When asked about people questioning his sanity - he said there should be more people like me.

He is threatening everything he is going to do tomorrow to destroy their infrastructure. He has no clue how much his threats are putting us and the world at risk.

He is SO dangerous!

And he ended by riffing in an erratic unhinged way about NATO and Biden and Kim Jung Un. And then he punctuated the riff by saying he is mad about Greenland.

On MSNOW Antonia Hilton just called the direction the presser took as a litany of his greatest hits and falsehoods. Good one line summary, Antonia.
