this post ran so long I didn't even get to Lindsey Graham wetting his pants with glee over the prospect of dead Iranians. what kind of psycho talks like this?

"LINDSEY GRAHAM: Israel and the United States -- you just wait to see what comes the next two weeks

BARTIROMO: Meaning what?

GRAHAM: We're going to blow the hell out of these people"

Kay-El's avatar

Graham is just filled with glee at the thought of blowing. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink

Repressing one's sexuality must lead to a lot of pent up frustration. No excuse for despicable behavior. He deserves a spot in the jam packed suite in hell along with the other grifters and war criminals.

IMAGINING that the entire WORLD doesn't know who and what he is. This after originally being 'best friends' with John McCain AND Joe Biden who highly respected each other even as they vehemently disagreed about policy matters. There's a video (which WE should run nonstop) of Ms Lindsay in the back of a Limo waxing eloquently about just HOW GOOD OF A MAN Joe Biden is, with tears in his eyes, voice choked with emotion. It might have been when John McCain died - unsure but he specifically states 'and you can hold me to this'! He's disgraced himself by jumping onto the frump bandwagon and is DISGRACEFUL!

Paula Dean's avatar

While Linseed Graham Cracker is dancing on the graves of schoolchildren, Russia is the biggest winner of this "Operation Epic Epstein Diversion". Every multi-million dollar bomb we toss at Iran - which they shoot down with their unlimited supply of $20,000 drones - is one less bomb that could have gone to Ukraine, who has a legitimate need for self-defense. China is also paying close attention to how many bombs we're wasting, and how much America is crumbling into disarray. Our allies, the few we have left, are banging their virtual heads against the real wall of hubris and ignorance our country has thrown up against all reason, while the global economy is in nosedive for everyone except Russia. The formerly sanctioned oil and natural gas of Russia is now the only viable source for India, China, Africa.....

I could go on. The damage being done is not only in Iran. In fact, we are hurting ourselves most, and our allies second. Iran? They'll be a smoking crater, but even more fanatical when the smoke clears. As long as one Ayatollah survives, and one nuclear scientist, and they have a shovel and a wheelbarrow between them, we will have an enemy that passionately hates us and won't rest until they have revenge.

All they really need to do is wait, and watch as we self-destruct. They might even pass the popcorn to Russia, China, and anyone else who hates us...so, basically, the whole world.

Bob's avatar

This whole thing exposes what a load of ignorant fuckups are running things.

rlritt's avatar

Why isn't the fact Trump's bestie Vlad is helping the Iranians a bigger news story? Maybe he pushed Trump into it because it helps Russia? But shouldn't someone be reporting and doing an analysis of this scary turn of events? Seems more important than the stupid hat Trump wore on his fat head.

How many of these sumg fuckers in the Trump Regime have children or other family members on active duty? We know Nikki Haley’s husband is in the reserves(?), maybe that’s why she’s not part of this shitshow; she knew that if she were in the regime, she’d be a party to decisions that could put him in harm’s way.

How about the Lutnicks, the Bessents, does Hegseth have draft age children from one of his earlier marriages? What about the warmongers at Fox News? Any adult children in active duty?

There’s always Barron Trump; they say he’s 6’ 9” which is over the height requirement of 80” (6’ 8”), but they also claim that Trump is 6’ 3” and 239 lbs.

My son is 35 and not in danger of being drafted. My oldest grandson is 18 and still in High School. He’s also very overweight and has other issues that may exempt him from service. My youngset grandson will be 1 year old in a couple of weeks, hopefully the war in Oceania will be over before he turns 18.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

When you look at the impressive crowd of defense contractors that immediately lined up to receive massive federal contracts to rachet up production, it's clear this will be a decades-long, multifront assortment of wars. This is why Republicans and four corporate Democrat fuckheads voted to approve the war.

I hope those four corporate Dem fuckheads get voted out at the first opportunity. It's the worst possible time for them to side with the Rethugs.

Neal Stiffelman's avatar

Pretty much. Although he may have a couple of others who tell hims what they think he needs to know or believe for the next hour or so. But it makes me wonder if whoever is feeding that info then gets the word out to the fluffers and on the accepted sentence of the moment.

Frank Nuts's avatar

I think you’re on the money there Neil. Where I’m from we had a sports venue called ARCO Arena. A lot of us called it ECHO Arena because it was not ideal for concerts. All the songs were in 20 part harmony.

Anyway, Trump does have an ARCO Arena built around him that includes Fox News and all the rest of the ne’er-do-wells out there.

Don't forget Natalie Harp, whose job is to feed Trump a steady stream of information on 8.5×11″ pieces of paper that she's found online. GOOD news. Stuff that praises him and announces him as the new Messiah, the greatest general ever, the most perfect man, the brightest intellect, the hope of the nation and the world, etc... She goes everywhere he goes - including riding the links with Trump on Sundays in Florida.

Susan Kemp's avatar

He thinks approval of the war is at 90%, so I’m sure he “knows” anything that he wants to.

Neal Stiffelman's avatar

I did see a poll that showed the hardcore base is 90% favorable. Of course, that 90% is about 20% of the voting-eligible public. As always, the problem is voter motivation and voter suppression.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Gee, I remember when the Republicans lost their minds because the Obamas went to New York City for brief weekend date to go to a restaurant and see a show.. They screamed that there was STUFF going on in the world and he should be working 24/7, not playing. Where are those Republicans now? Oh right, they're on their knees groveling before Trump, cleaning his special loafers with their tongues.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

Calling out Republicans for their shameless hypocrisy is like calling out Dunkin' Donuts for their high calorie products. Their public would just say, "It's why we're here, right?"

Major Kong's avatar

I remember every time Joe Biden went to the beach in Delaware on summer weekends. Fox and the rest of the right wing noise machine went nuts. Here's the deal, Delaware is just a short helicopter ride from the White House; didn't need that 747 like Trump needs every time he goes to one of his roach infested golf resorts.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

I know. It seems like any time a Democrat went to the bathroom he was wasting tax dollars and they love t boast about how Trump is (allegedly) donating his presidential salary to charity (doubtful; he's never been caught donating anything) but one golf weekend costs the taxpayers more than double the president's entire annual salary.

Frank Nuts's avatar

Doesn’t that just kill you Anastasia how the high and mighty frugal Republicans have their mouth zipped shut when it comes to all the waste and corruption going on by “their boy”. They have no shame.

Frank Nuts's avatar

Yes Major. Trump is the Number One King when it comes to blowing money. Lyndsey drools over that amount of blowing

My husband spoke w/ our investment advisor just this morning. Usually, they talk on the phone, or video chat, or email.

THIS time, he said he needed to see us FACE TO FACE. Last time he wouldn't talk to us in any way OTHER than face to face, was in 2018....when #Bumblefuck was in the WH the *first* time, & our investment portfolio began to TANK. Thankfully, after President Biden went into office, our investments leveled out, then the values went back up to where they had been - AND THEN SOME.

I'm disabled, & those investments are meant to be SECURITY for me. When our INVESTMENTS tank, MY FINANCIAL SECURITY TANKS, TOO.

And guess who's financial security ONLY GETS *BETTER* when he screws us over?

Stephanie Lajeskie's avatar

I think there should be a law that requires any president who starts a war to have at least one close family member serving in the military.

Joyce's avatar

Except, in Donnie Demento's case, he still wouldn't give a flying fuck.

Cathy Wray's avatar

That would be a superb law!!

KMD's avatar

Recently I googled whether any member of the Trump family has served in the US military.

I found out that,indeed, not a single male Trump has ever served. That includes his father Fred, who avoided service in WWII, and his grandfather Frederich who actually immigrated to the US to avoid serving in the German army! So I guess it's kind of a family tradition for all the Trump males to avoid serving.

Robert Eckert's avatar

Friedrich immigrated twice, the second time illegally since he was deported the first time for running a brothel on land that belonged to someone else. But when he went back to Hesse he found that the authorities there had not forgotten his previous draft dodging, so he snuck back into the US.

Frank Nuts's avatar

Wow. Good spot KMD!

Paula Dean's avatar

I'm not sure it would be a deterrent for the iDJiT. His family, especially his sons, are only useful to him as props and alternate incomes. He might even love the idea of proudly standing with his boys in full dress uniforms at the military base...where they will stay, safely behind desks. Junior could have his cocaine picked up in the Caribbean before he bombs the boats. Barron could play computer war games....and call it "military planning and research".

Lisa Bieber's avatar

Can we send Malignia?

Susan Kemp's avatar

Not just serving. You can serve and be in a nice, clean office in the US. They need to be in the infantry on front lines.

Frank Nuts's avatar

And, Stephanie, I would like to add that he should be leading the charge. He’s got a backup so if he wants to lead us into war then he should lead us into war if he thinks it’s that important.

I’m not trying to be funny here.

I don’t care if he’s a democrat or republican—if he thinks that war is the only solution then he should lead the charge or shut the fuck up!

It should be in the constitution with no exceptions

Richard Dorset's avatar

We do know that the Dow does penetrate Trump’s bubble. At what point does the skyrocketing price of oil impact the declining Dow average to the point where Trump’s billionaire pals tell him to call off the dogs? What’s the inflection point where Trump can declare victory and go home? It’s a duel between his fragile ego and the continued support of the oligarchy

HI2thDoc's avatar

Whar Blam Bondi and her screaming about the "$50,000 Dow?" Yeah, it crested that threshold for hours to a few days at most. It won't be there for a while now, as the price of oil spikes, the markets are tanking, inflation will rise, interest rates will rise, and turmoil will reign. All because this greedy, stupid rapist fucker and his crooked family are bought by Putin, Netanyahu, MBS, and want a distraction from the Epstein files. People's lives mean less than nothing to him.

Cathy Wray's avatar

Especially little girls.

HI2thDoc's avatar

From what is slowly being revealed by the Epstein files, the scale and scope of the horrors perpetrated by him and enabled by his minions, hangers-on, and the apparently numerous co-conspirators is both frightening and sickening. They must all pay for their brutal transgressions. A just and moral universe requires this. People like publicist Peggy Siegal, possibly those high-end NYC gynecologists, and many others who knew or should have known what he was doing should also pay for their complicity.

Michael Guenon's avatar

I pulled out Jonathan Kwitny’s “Endless Enemies” (1984). Story is a little more nuanced but a NY Times “journalist” was a hack for the CIA in ‘53 (wonderful to know the coup occurred when I was 6 months old and then celebrated my first birthday with another one in Guatemala). According to Kwitny, the Tudeh Party [Communist] newspaper gave an accurate account of the street shit the CIA paid for, while the Times’ reporter was not. We were Fox News’d then as well. And Mossadegh was an anti-communist.

Robert Eckert's avatar

"for a while there, in the late 1940s and early 1950s, Iran was a peaceful, western-style democracy, complete with free and fair elections. in 1951, their democratically-elected leader was Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh." This is an utter falsification. Iran was a constitutional monarchy, until Mossadegh's party won the largest bloc in Parliament by assassinating the previous Prime Minister and many of the other parties' candidate in a very violent election campaign. Mossadegh did cobble together a majority coalition until he nationalized British Petroleum, a move that was highly popular but perceived by many in the elite as dangerous. So he dissolved Parliament, saying that too many of them were bribed by the British (doubtless true) and instead of scheduling elections for a new Parliament, held a referendum on whether he should be allowed to rule by decree. The Shah said he could not do this, and was driven out of the country.

Mossadegh's power relied on the Tudeh, a Communist party aligned to Stalin, and the Ulema, the senior clergy containing the most reactionary ayatollahs. These two shared a hatred of the UK in particular and Western culture in general, but obviously had very different visions of the country's future. The strain caused Mossadegh to have some kind of stroke or heart attack, but he would not relinquish power even though bedridden: a reporter who interviewed him in bed said it was like "talking to an angry sofa." British intelligence wanted him overthrown, but the government hoped his regime would collapse by itself. Some MI6 agents then fed our CIA (in its infancy back then) false intelligence that Mossadegh intended to purge the Ulema and go full Communist.

Kermit Roosevelt, CIA station chief in Teheran (from Teddy's branch of the family not FDR's), helped military officers who were alarmed at the developments get in touch with each other when otherwise they dared not speak out loud. Although the US did not provide any personnel or arms to the coup, the logistical role of the US embassy was crucial to organizing the overthrow of Mossadegh and return of the Shah. The Shah immediately started acting as an absolute monarch, with bloody purges of all his enemies, and repression of anyone even suspected of being Communist or Islamic that continued for decades. It was a tragic turn of events, but pretending that Iran was a Jeffersonian democracy before, and that it was not Iranians who carried out the coup, is an exercise in myth-making.

And, wait for it: Golly, who could have seen oil prices spiking? Next: Love it or leave it. If you don’t support Trump’s war you aren’t real American. So we have it now. A cosplay Secretary of Defense cum War, and a war looking for a strategy. Meanwhile, Pam, the DJIA is well below 50,000, and dear leader is most certainly NOT exonerated in the Epstein files. As for Mr. Graham: GFY.

Lindsey Graham was an Air Force jag officer. What kind of a lawyer would shout something like this with orgasmic glee, reveling over dead children? Jesus, what an a-hole.

His law days are long gone—- he only thinks like a right wing nut nowadays; and his lips firmly secured on Drumpf’s arse
