today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit:

get ready for the stock market to crater while the price of oil skyrockets.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/stock-market-today-oil-prices-iran-impact/

fun stuff

Joe Bacon's avatar

Coming soon to a service station near you...Return Of The Gas Lines!

While Kennedy snorts lines off of toilet seats.....

HI2thDoc's avatar

In that spirit, here's a redux from a coupla weeks ago for ya:

Snorting coke off a toilet seat

At the time may have seemed kinda neat

But to brag 'bout that fact

Just tells us you're whacked

Your brainworm dementia's complete

Timothy Reid's avatar

Brilliant ... and hilarious! I love poetic creativity like this. Thank you for posting. 😉😂😏

Richard's avatar

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Linda Weide's avatar

Again, the Epstein class has a club. I don't know whether Kennedy is really in it, but he gets to hang around because he is a useful idiot. He is like a caddy for Trump in this case. A bonkers coked up caddy.

Doc Blase''s avatar

The old saying is still true.

9 Nazis are already sitting at a table.

A reasonable person sits with them

There are now 10 Nazis at the table.

👏👏👏👏👏

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

I LOVE it - and would only change that last line to 'your brainworm's meal's complete' (given that the dementia is usually reserved here for the orange crazypants fuckwit), but you do you - I should come up with my own poetry, LOL. ;) Truth be told this just popped into my brain and right out my fingers onto my keyboard.

Joe Bacon's avatar

And Olivia Nuzzi said he was still mainlining heroin during their affair...

I never thought there could be a person with less dignity than Laura Looner but here we are.

The toilet seats in the gas station bathrooms.....

DJ Headthrob's avatar

I wouldn't even put eating gas station sushi beyond him.

Emma Ray's avatar

No doubt, HaHaHaHaHa

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

I remember telling my husband back in the day when we'd take road trips to Florida with no reservations and only a small amount of space on our couple of credit cards...we'd have to stop at whatever was available that I WOULD NOT USE one of those disgusting toilets unless I was able to clean it first, so headed in with my own toilet paper (I came prepared) and cleaning product, even if it was just the glass cleaner for the windshield insects) - before I could bring myself to perch over one of those AWFUL things. How anyone could even get down on those horrific FLOORS is so beyond me, let alone use the toilet seat?! Ugh, Ugh, Ugh! I've always, always, always thought of frump as trash. Goes back to that film I love with Glenn Close playing 'Teddy' a lawyer for Jeff Bridges (when he was younger and beautiful): The very last thing her detective friend growls to her as he removes the gun from her shaking hands: 'fuck 'im, he wuz trash'. One of MY favourite movie and real life lines EVER'!

Linda Weide's avatar

The ones that don't really have seats, just crusty rims.

Roberta Austin's avatar

I was just out of college in 1973 with lines and no gas on Sundays.

Mingo's avatar

I was 19 and in my first year of college. If I recall you could only buy gas on which day depended on the odd or even numbers ending on your license plate. I ran out of gas waiting in line with my sister. But since we were young cute girls in short shorts and crop tops we had no problems finding some guys to push us to the pump. This is now courtesy of the Donnie and Bibi Bro Show. Epic fubar is right.

Sue's avatar

Thanks for the memories of gas lines, hot pants and halter tops to blot out the terror of this era!

RZolu's avatar

I was 18 in 1973…here in New England we had odd even days depending on the last number of your plate. I remember the lines were LONG…also remember the one or two rogue stations that were charging .65 a gallon-a horrifying price - and it didn’t matter the plate number! Those were the days…

PollyP's avatar

I was 23 and graduating college. Couldn’t get a job. Couldn’t get gas to get home to Tennessee from Florida. First lesson of many in how R policies were going to fuck my working life. And now they are royally screwing retirement.

Deborah Hunter's avatar

You got gas on the day that was scheduled for the first initial of your last name. That's also what brought about the push for Japanese cars with 4 cylinder engines.

Ellyn's avatar

I was 10 and my parents & grandparents owned a gas station. Watching neighbors lose their shit because it wasn’t their day was something I never wanted to be anywhere near again. In this lifetime.

Silly me, to have such a dream…

Joe Bacon's avatar

Yes I DO remember that!

Sue P's avatar

And if you were up really really late you could spy tanker trucks pulling into out of business gas stations and filling their tanks.

True.

Lady Emsworth's avatar

Well, the makers of EV's must be smiling right now. . .

Mps's avatar

And those of us that own one.

Grace Kennedy's avatar

The price of electricity has tripled in many areas in just a year so it looks like we’re all screwed.

Carol Jacobson's avatar

Yea - all these young people who think us older folks have always had it so easy are about to find out.

michellefromchicago's avatar

With the high prices to go with them, no doubt. I’m sure the price of oil will be $100 per barrel soon, if it isn’t already. Once again, I’m glad to be driving a hybrid that gets 45 miles per gallon, even if it is 16 years old

Cats 🐈🐈‍⬛'s avatar

I also drive a hybrid . I get anywhere from 46-50 mpg. Love my Prius!

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

Unfortunately, I'm married to a dinosaur who is pissed at the whole 'muscle cars should be outlawed' thing. HIS muscle car slurps up its fill-up then asks 'please sir, may I have some more' before it gets out of the garage (specially built for it) so it cost a fortune. The roar it makes when he turns it on - I still have to remind him to open the DOOR shakes the entire house, but to his credit he does exit quite quickly - although I do keep thinking of all the brain cells I'm probably losing during that couple of minutes. It's worth a fortune on its own now - but he still hasn''t found the time to change his will to leave it to me (as part of his estate) OR to the guy we want to have it. Initially, he was leaving it to his brother-in-law (with whom he hasn't spoken in decades and who would NEVER drive it - simply sell it pronto) but has a grown son who probably would - and wreck it at the first bend in the road. But thinking about wills means facing one's mortality and that's verboten. Sigh. I KNOW I'm going to be stuck if he precedes me. Our mechanic who has helped in so many other ways, even bringing him home from physical rehab back in 2020, risking Covid AND then inviting us to Thanksgiving every year since with their daughters and dogs, even offering to drive me anywhere and everywhere I need. Really decent - except for his maga beliefs which come out when he's overindulged (sigh)., would LOVE to have the RoadRunner but couldn't afford to pay full price. I'd certainly give it to him for a fraction because he'd take it to car shows - has offered to take hubby there constantly, especially after his foot surgery. Still no will updates. I need to do mine too. Just a warning to all - get yours done if you haven't done so in decades. Ours are so old, need serious updating.

DJ Headthrob's avatar

Maybe also even/odd days.

Linda Weide's avatar

While in the US people get to look at prices skyrocket for basic necessities, I woke up in Germany to read what sounded like Chancellor Merz was going to start helping the US out with the war against Iran. That woke me up so I had to read some more. Here are my ponderings from that.

https://lindaweide.substack.com/p/the-epstein-class-and-the-war?r=f0qfn

Wish all of the Epstein class would just get in a large rocketship and take off into space and just orbit.

Unity In Defiance's avatar

Actual Donnie quote in the NY Post:

“I don’t have the yips with respect to boots on the ground — like every president says, ‘There will be no boots on the ground.’ I don’t say it,”

“I say ‘probably don’t need them,’ [or] ‘if they were necessary.'”

WTAF….

Because he has no empathy or soul. People die. So what. That’s his motto.

Sue Martin's avatar

Yips?! JFC! Makes no difference how he phrases it. Anything that he defecates from his rancid anus mouth is an effing lie anyway. Come on massive blood clot. The biggest ever experienced. One like never seen before!! With tears in it's eyes for extra ponts!

Laurie's avatar

It's not supposed to be good karma to pray for bad things to happen to people, but I can't help it! Praying for the blood clot! Please.

Kathryn Wild's avatar

And make it on TV!

DebJS's avatar

Or what's the horrible thing that's supposed to be avoided by NOT taking the "BIG" aspirin so he has nice "thin" blood? Maybe an aneurysm?

Hollie Rood's avatar

Right. As Jeff reminded us(but who could forget), they’re suckers or is it losers??

Bonnie Council's avatar

Excerpted from Bob Dylan's Masters of War:

You fasten all the triggers

For the others to fire

Then you sit back and watch

When the death count gets higher

You hide in your mansion

While the young people's blood

Flows out of their bodies

And is buried in the mud

Let me ask you one question

Is your money that good?

Will it buy you forgiveness

Do you think that it could?

I think you will find

When your death takes its toll

All the money you made

Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die

And your death will come soon

I'll follow your casket

By the pale afternoon

And I'll watch while you're lowered

Down to your deathbed

And I'll stand over your grave

'Til I'm sure that you're dead.

Kathryn Wild's avatar

Amen, brother. It brings it all back from the Vietnam War era. Even more definitive for today because I don't remember praying to god that anyone would die like I do today. And, not a pleasant death but a painful, humiliating death. It's just one more depravity that Trump has aroused in us that we never knew we had.

Laurie's avatar

That's brilliant. Thank you for sharing. I thought I knew all of Dylan's songs, but I don't remember that one. I was a bit young.

Bonnie Council's avatar

Sad what we haven't learned, in all these years. Sad that words like these are timeless.

Helen Stajninger's avatar

Did anyone question him “ what are yips?”. Imagine if Biden had said that one little thing?

Teri Gelini's avatar

sounds like something a dog does ...yip yip

Jennifer's avatar

The yips, eh? Sounds like *someone* learned a new word while watching the Olympics.

Permian Extinction's avatar

That's not the only thing. Let's hope the next kidnapped jet liner plowing into a New York skyscraper picks one with a big Trump sign.

HI2thDoc's avatar

I vote for Mierda Lardo.

HI2thDoc's avatar

What am I saying. He may deploy his "Golden Dome" air defense over his shitty property because he's a fucking coward. On our dime, of course.

Hollie Rood's avatar

There is that🫡

DebJS's avatar

Good! Maybe he will stay there because feels untouchable and that will be his fitting end. Encased in molten gold.

Maria Devereux's avatar

Luckily we now know that the Iron Dome doesn't work, as missiles are getting through, so neither will the fabled golden one- but go ahead Donnie- give the punt to your Security staff and sleep tight under it.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Yeah, but he would still try it and it would cost us big bucks

Eva's avatar

The only thing bone spurs had going for him was my 401k and cheap gas. Now he’s 100% loser instead of 99.99999%

Gary D's avatar

I guess I can always get a job as a Wal-Mart greeter. Just how I pictured my golden years. Thank god we didn’t elect a competent woman of color with a funny laugh. She might have really fucked things up.

arne link's avatar

I spoke to my stockbroker a month ago, saying that I had concerns about a crash. He quoted the overall history of the stock market and reassured me that things are fine. I'll bet he moved all of his stuff out of the market. Luckily, I just ignored him and bought a lot of CDs, in hopes the banks don't fail.

Wendymae's avatar

Mine said the same thing but I took my IRA 90% out of stocks during Covid lockdown bc I thought a crash was imminent. Never put it back so I probably lost some money, but I don't have the stomach for the ups and downs so I don't care.

Brian Riley's avatar

...or the dollar failing, that deficit isn't getting any smaller.

Linda McCaughey's avatar

Oh, but that's the plan. Anybody who's anybody---net worth of eleventy million or more---is putting everything they can into crypto so they will be fine when banks fail and the rest of us are carting wheelbarrows full of hundred dollar bills to the grocery store for bread and milk.

Leigh Hamilton's avatar

I moved what little I had out of the market and put it in the bank. It wasn't much but it was MINE, and I wasn't going to let that mf take it.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

Converted what little I had into CDs around November 10, 2024. I had no illusions about what was coming.

Derek Smith's avatar

We asked our financial advisor to move as much of our stock-based funds into overseas markets. He did as much as he could. so far, so good.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

Massive inflation incoming. Want to talk about "affordability?" Let's hear the Republicans brag about killing all the Green Deals. Retirement savings up in smoke. The price of everything shooting up and exploding like a Musk rocket. GOP "Anyone order up a useless, devastatingly endless war? Get it while it's hot. It'll cost ya but it's worth it."

Lisa K. Obrien's avatar

Cheer up! There’s plenty of drilling along the west coast and in Alaska that should fix this.

arne link's avatar

Don't break my heart.

Morty's avatar

If the stock market continues to crater, get ready for TACO to announce an amazing “DEAL” to stop the bombing!

(Also, now that the Dow is consistently back below 50,000, can we finally get Pam Bondi to start talking about Epstein?)

Laurie's avatar

Epstein who? 🙃🤬

Nancy's avatar

Price I paid for Unleaded Gas 12/28/2025:

$3.79/gallon; 13.94 gallons for $52.96

Price I paid today for Unleaded Gas 3/02/2026:

$4.39/gallon; 11.67 gallons for $51.35

Is that change due to the trump/Iran war or is the increase still to come?This is in California.

Carol Jacobson's avatar

So far it looks like Apple was the only thing not cratering so far today. People will have a lot more need for a phone while sitting in the gas lines.

Ronald P YYZ's avatar

I bought a hybrid car just in time! Right after Carney restored federal rebates for green cars in Canada and before Operation Epstein Fury fucked up oil prices.

Chris Fox's avatar

Gas has already shot up here in Clermont, FL. 😡

Susan Niemann's avatar

The death toll I saw this morning was approximately 600 when you take other locations into consideration.

And Fetterman was texting with Hannity all night, dicks hard over this… Fetterman said Why can’t we just be excited about this? What a POS!

158 school girls are dead. This is an obscene nightmare. Who can end it?

Joe Bacon's avatar

Ah John "Whatever Bibi Wants, Bibi Gets" FetterMANCHIN popping a tent over killing innocent Iranian kids...

Susan Niemann's avatar

Fetterman needs to just step the hell down. He’s abhorrent.

Mike Hammer's avatar

It might be that his stroke changed everything but still, no excuse.

arne link's avatar

Nah, it was the big check or promise he got when he visited Meirda Lardo.

Susan Niemann's avatar

Exactly what I think Arne. I bet the felon bought him off-or threatened him-or both.

LuluBean12 StarGeezer's avatar

His wife was undocumented but has been a citizen for a long time. Maybe he's a little threatened by ICE too?

Paula Dean's avatar

I think he died, and before they got his heart beating again, a demon from Hell yanked out his soul and jumped in to replace it. Too bad it was such a stupid demon.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

I have zero idea what caused it but it's shocking to see that he now has the second most conservative voting record of all congressional Democrats — just last week he was third, but he's slipped behind Shaheen and I wouldn't be surprised if he falls behind Hassan next. I've looked at their numbers and she actually is ahead on him on some metrics. The only thing keeping him from being a Republican is the massive gulf between the parties. The voting record distance between Hassan and Susie Concern is a Grand Canyon.

Mike Hammer's avatar

A MAGA democrat. Hope he has a red pickup truck and a gun rack.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

I just noticed his score was adjusted for medical absence. I don't know how that would've impacted it but could it have been WORSE if not for that? It really is time for him to go.

Susie's avatar

Motherfucker played me and I just can’t stop being embarrassed and wanting to punch him in the neck. 😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬💔🇺🇸

Bonnie Council's avatar

Me too. And I want my money back!

Morty's avatar

Yea one of these days I’ll be getting around to peeling his campaign stickers off my sticker cabinet. If only I could trade them and get my campaign donations back. We might’ve been better off with Dr. Oz in the Senate instead of the whitehouse.

Derek Smith's avatar

I had a small, round Fetterman campaign sticker on my roof-rack air deflector. A slightly larger Jerry Garcia sticker now covers it quite nicely.

Stephen Schiff's avatar

To me ***THE*** litmus test of the Democrats' determination to bring about reform is their response to bag-o-shit Fetterman. Strip him of all seniority then primary his ass.

Rachel C's avatar

But he isn’t up until 2028. I’ve been encouraging him to resign for Health Reasons and let us elect an actual Democrat. 👹

meryl selig's avatar

Thank you Susan, for the right word: abhorrent

Susan Niemann's avatar

I’m always looking for the right word to describe this mess and I never feel anything is adequate enough 😂😂

Richard Dorset's avatar

Fetterman is such a huge piece of shit. I wish there was a mechanism for PA voters to recall him. And to think I used to like him...

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

You know he pulled a "Sinema" "I'm a cool girl, quirky I dress young and I'm one of you." PSYCHE!

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

I remember how I refused to lend him any credence because he was fronting as a Bernie Bros, and I despise Bernie. Ha!

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

High five! The B man lost me forever with that bullshit of calling POC, LGBTQ and women “Identity Politics voters” we are not rebublicans who vote for shit that wants to hurt/kill us!

Hollie Rood's avatar

Don’t think you’re alone there Richard

LoveMuley's avatar

I wish there was a way to get my campaign contributions back from him!!

Mark Slattery's avatar

To magats, the death toll is four, since the Iranians don't count.

meryl selig's avatar

My heart is broken about the schoolgirls. Innocent children. “We” don’t count them. I just cannot process the evil

Lucius's avatar

Nah, it's -594. They think dead Iranians are a good thing.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

Every Iranian and Lebanese killed or maimed creates ten committed enemies of the U.S. and Israel.

Kim Steeves's avatar

They count the same has Gazians!

Joanne Rossmassler Fritz's avatar

Grrr. It’s so embarrassing being a Pennsylvanian these days. Any human deaths are still deaths. We can’t lose our humanity even if Congress has.

US Blues's avatar

Can voters in PA recall Fetterman?

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Not Senators, no. They can start looking around for replacements in case he decides to run again, which would be absurd. And they can lean on him to resign in which case Gov. Shapiro would replace him until the next election.

Rachel C's avatar

Right you are! No one is taught even basic civics these days. I am tired of people just saying “impeach” or “recall” without even bothering to look up how that works. 👹

Joe Bacon's avatar

Sadly no because there is no recall provision in the Federal Constitution...

US Blues's avatar

States have laws. California can recall its governor but I know that’s a bit different.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Not to recall senators though. They have different laws about how to replace them if they die or resign.

Joanne Rossmassler Fritz's avatar

I wish! That would be wonderful!

Sharon C Storm's avatar

Of course they’re all girls. You don’t think they would bomb a boys school.

Leigh Hamilton's avatar

For two reasons: 1) To Trump girls aren't human, they're fuck dolls, and 2) Killing the boys would anger the Iranians on the ground and they wouldn't be chanting for Trump. You can rape/kill little girls in theocratic regimes (like ours now) but you Can't. Hurt. The. Boys.

CalypsoRising's avatar

My husband said last night: they have no plan B. I replied: they had no plan A.

Stephen Brady's avatar

I certainly hope the PA Dems find a real, brain-intact candidate to primary Fetterman’s ass in 2028.

Mema's avatar

Fuck Fedderman. They better vote his ass out of office. He ran for the wrong party. He a closet Republican!!

Susan Niemann's avatar

If I remember correctly, John and his wife went to Florida to see the orange pig...it was right after John won. And he hasn't been the same since. A major betrayal to the people who voted for him. I turned my T-shirt into a dust rag. 🙄

Joyce's avatar

The Lindsay Graham Syndrome: criticize Donnie Demento; thengo visit Donnie Demento at the golf motel and get told exactly what repulsive blackmail material he has on you; come back a changed man.......

Crystal Hartley's avatar

Rinse and repeat cause apparently ol' Linds has a built-in forgetter.

Joanne Rossmassler Fritz's avatar

You remembered that correctly, Susan. Glad I never bought a T-shirt, even though I voted for him. He was running against Oz! Now we have to wait until 2028 to vote him out! Unless we can recall him somehow. . . .

arne link's avatar

Oz or Federman? Good Lord!

Hollie Rood's avatar

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

It's way past time for Fetterman to resign to take care of his mental health. I'm sure Gov. Shapiro has a list of capable replacement ready to appoint.

arne link's avatar

Nah, won't happen. He's on the Trump Train now.

Jeanne Leduc's avatar

When it's dead. I hope it all collapses in on all of these cowards.

meryl selig's avatar

Fetterman is a sack of brain-challenged shit

Wendymae's avatar

There was a another strike that hit a sports center where teenage girls were playing. At least 18 dead there.

no, no, no. the felon doesn't want to "solve a problem that has vexed every president since Carter." The felon wants to solve the problem that is vexing him: the Epstein Files.

My cats could run a smarter war.

George in Atlanta's avatar

No question. But they're so strategic that no war would ever start under their leadership. There would be a hiss, maybe a swat, then several naps.

Jane S.'s avatar

That's for DAMN sure! Also, treats.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

And all it would take to end it is treats. They'd forget all about fighting then.

George in Atlanta's avatar

Treats are the answer... now what was the quesiton?

Hollie Rood's avatar

I have one of those too. Pretty sure we could actually herd them,and some others up, to create a whole Administration wiser and with more empathy, compassion, respect and understanding than the current sewer 🤡🤡🤡running Operation Epic Fuck Up

George in Atlanta's avatar

They would remake the Federal bureaucracy. There would be a Strategic Catnip Reserve under Cheyenne Mountain. A Secretary of Naps and Toys in the Cabinet. They would make the American Tuna Industry Great Again.

They would herd us. We'd be in good paws.

It has definitely harmed the planetary environment. Except for our own ambitions and desires, what has humanity contributed to any other species or to Mother Earth herself?

Jane S.'s avatar

still not as dead as our fearless "leader."

My clowder (Jasper, Buddy, and Loretta) and I send you our condolences. The only thing I've found to help with the grieving process is another cat. Buddy and Loretta joined the family as senior citizens when Jasper's sisters died within 6 months of each other. He needed cat friends and they have been a huge support for both Jasper and me. xxxooo

Noodle was 22-1/2, you can't ask for much more than that. He had a good life 😺

And the world's best name! I'm glad you had such a long life with him, but I don't think that makes losing him any easier. Jasper, Loretta, and Buddy insist on sending you head bonks and slow blinks.

Steve in SoCal's avatar

When you picked him up he went limp like a wet noodle, hence the name 😂

OMG perfect! What coloring was he?

The House has to be in session. Why do you think Speaker Mike has it on recess so much.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Because that's why Mikey is there: they had no options left and grabbed the first warm body they found who wasn't hiding in the bathroom. If they voted Mikey out, they'd have no one and probably have to make Lauren Boebert speaker.

Lauren’s right hand and entire mouth would be very busy… no time or muscle energy for Speakering. She would be more fun to watch, though. No pretense of squeaky clean Faux Christianity. The bigger and glossier the crosses they wear, the bigger their hypocrisy.

Think missiles are expensive? Try the 3 US planes Kuwait shot down in a "friendly fire" incident.

Does this mean we can no longer have “one other thing” to eat with our chicken, broccoli and corn tortilla?

Don't forget that the training cost of all 6 crew members potentially just got flushed as well! Just because you bailed out and lived doesn't mean you're physically fit to go back to the job. Bailing out is hard on the body.

These fucking morons

Iran has shut down the middle east with its strategic hits on airports

They have closed the Straights of Hormuz

Remind me again who has all the cards

Right...tourists in several of the areas are trapped with no way out. But the orange ass would just shrug and say, Well, thats what happens in a war. GOD I DESPISE HIM!

Dave Drell's avatar

The knuckleheads in charge think that removing the Iranian boss man everything would topple—-- that they just simply replace him & defend theirselves against the evil USA is prob nothing they considered?

American jingoes, mostly conservatives, who advocate for regime change never learn. So you get rid of a brutal dictator. Who's up next? Nelson Mandela? George Washington? In places run by a brutal dictator, odds are the successor will be a. . .brutal dictator. Surprise! Dumbfuck right wing shit for brains never get that.

Frank Nuts's avatar

You are so right H12thDoc. And how ironic all this is when you consider that Iran had a democratically elected leader in the 1950’s and our CIA ran him out of the country and installed the Shaw who was our chosen dictator. Iran has been a mess ever since. We did it at the behest of the oil companies. We did the same thing in Guatemala only this time it was over slave banana labor. You can thank Allen Dulles and his brother John for that. (Yes, those guys). Dulles should have a mortuary named after him rather than an airport

It’s never been America first.

It’s always been “Oligarchs First” backed by their private CIA army

I've got one in my family. He was all excited 'the evil man was dead'. I thought he meant Trump. Nope. It was the Ayatollah. I'm no fan of him either....but my family member is convinced it will now be rainbows and unicorns. And I'm like...you don't think a dictatorship that has been in power since the fall of democracy in the 70's doesn't have a backup plan? 🙄

They whackos who run the fundamentalist theocracy will not give up so easily. It's the Iranian version of the Heritage Foundation

I sued to scream "jingo jingo jingo" at the radio every time I heard Bush hyping the Iraq war.

I can't believe I'm saying this buy Trump is a thousand times worse than Bush.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

They probably imagine installing a pro-US puppet dictator like Shah Reza Pahlavi. That worked out so well for everyone.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Yep, your sarcasm is well placed. Ask the hostages taken from our embassy in Tehran how that worked out.

Frank Nuts's avatar

Right Dave. And along comes Isis again or some other “Whats Iss”

I’ve just watched the press conference with hagstand and not one journalist asked him about the killing of the school girls in Iran .

Yeah, the best we're going to get out if them is "How do we deserve a big, strong man like you leading the strongest, best fighting force in the world, raining bombs on everyone who ever doubted you, and that includes Mom?"

There's not a single person in his administration capable of putting together a lunch order, and his spokesmodels will just lie and say everyone got the right sandwich anyway.

Don’t worry. We’ll know the real reason Donny started this war as soon as Kegstand Pete accidentally sends it to a reporter on the Signal app.

Rushing to finish the war before we run out of munitions reminds me of how, when my gas tank is basically empty I always speed up going to the gas station.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Conservative dumbasses still cling to "you go to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time." --Rumsfeld, while US personnel were being killed and maimed by IEDs in Iraq because they had to ride in unarmored Humvees. If yer gonna start shootin, make sure ya gots enough bullets, FFS

Frank Nuts's avatar

Yes H12thDoc, I think our plan all along was a Mohamed Ali reverse rope a dope strategy—we throw a bunch of body blows, kill a bunch of schoolchildren, media stops talking about the Epstein files, run ourselves out of ammunition and then go home.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

But, you say, they’ll start talking about Epstein again.

Not so fast junior—we’ve still got Columbia, Cuba, Greenland and Mexico to start more wars.

And, if there’s still too much time till the midterms, we still have Canada.

And we could always take a swing at Great Britain again.

Trump strategy:

(1) Claim country “X” has an imminent to come get us

(2) Bomb the shit out of them

(3) Kill a bunch of children (that for sure will distract the media from the Epstein files). Did you actually think that bombing a school full of school children with their precision guided bombs was a mistake?

HI2thDoc's avatar

He is a lethal mixture of infantile, cruel, narcissistic, ignorant, easily bought, easily manipulated, corrupt, and a probable rapist to boot, and here he is with the ability to wage war, all to distract from the Epstein files and to forestall the midterms and maybe all elections so he can stay in office. This is a fucking nightmare.

Frank Nuts's avatar

(Accidentally hit send while editing)

(4) Run out of ammo

(5) Go home (see…no endless war)

(6) When media brings up the Epstein files again then start another war.

That is so funny. I'm going to Costco to fill up this morning. There will probably be hundreds in line. I remember the last gas war. Remember Alternate Days?

Lisa A's avatar

This is also clearly a response to Donny being told “no” by the Supreme Court on tariffs—flexing his muscles to say “nah nah boo boo i have power and can use it however i want”….and no flaccid, eunuched republican will respond to him!

Whiskey Pete gave an aggressive presser this morning where he flipped out on a reporter when asked why our men and women are being sent to war.

I wish I could place the gif here of him flippity McCrushing his nuts with the skateboard.

"Operation Epic Fury" sounds like a sixth-grade boy's idea of a comic book plot

Or the name one uses who has to physically stand right behind T when he sends off his own epic bombs!!!

But Operation Epstein Distraction sounds so perfect!

I can't watch that incompetent, unqualified asshole for 1 second before I lose my shit. But do tell, did he blame the friendly fire that killed 3 more American soldiers today on woke ideology?

Joyce's avatar

I don't know--the only part I accidentally heard was, "We didn't start this war."

What the actual FUCKING HELL! Since he wasn't hit with a barrage of shoes, at the very least, I quickly moved on.

HI2thDoc's avatar

That or DEI. Or "illegal immigrants" somehow.

Jane's avatar

Kegstand was very condescending to the reporter. He's really getting off on having all this power. It's disgusting! 🤮

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Yet that seems like the most reasonable question a reporter could ask the Secretary of Defense and a normal DefSec would have a smooth answer prepared. Rummy always did and god, I despised Rummy so much.

Kristin H.'s avatar

This was definitely a day where I should have heeded your closing message, because I'm feeling that last string about to give. So much shit happening while reading this shit you were busy writing, and losing my shit (right along with you). Holy shit!

Judd Legum posted today that this entire was was part of the deal snotty felon Jared made with Moneydaddy MBS in exchange for some billions. https://popular.info/p/the-money-behind-the-new-iran-war?

These assholes are all about personal enrichment. I find it hard to believe that anyone can still think they have a shard of credibility or take anything they say as even remotely true. The sanewashing is extreme.

Makes you wonder about all those folks who gave everything they owned to Pastor Jim Jones. They followed him down to a shithole in Guyana where there were starved and abused while he preened and ranted, putting them through "White Night" exercises where they practiced mass suicide.

He broke out the food for the congressional visit and made everybody pretend they were happy while his goons stalked the perimeters with rifles and batons. The day they were summoned to off themselves for real (some of them forcibly injected, some made to kill their children first) how many of them still believed in Jones? How many thought "father cares for us?"

Trump's acolytes are like that. Why I cannot say. He's a shoddy pedophile rapist with the intelligence of a toddler, and has been since he was in short pants. It's public record. How can they still believe?
