How Trump and His Advisers Miscalculated Iran's Response to War

In the lead-up to the U.S.-Israeli attack, President Trump downplayed the risks to the energy markets as a short-term concern that should not overshadow the mission to decapitate the Iranian regime.

"Israeli officials in closed discussions also have acknowledged there is no certainty the war will lead to the clerical government's collapse, a senior Israeli official told Reuters."

At least Putin is happy... that's apparently what matters.

Just rename them, Trumpsweepers... they'll be front page in no time.

Since ya'll are on the subject, here's just a very few minutes with Rev Ed earlier today, the Anglican Priest in Nova Scotia on who's going where when and why... and it's not what fundies think it is.

(he doesn't mention this part, but when you hear about 'hell' or 'eternal damnation' or stuff like that, what it means is simply being in place where God is not)

AU is right about Trumpers:

"Some politicians want to base our laws on the Bible until they read the words of Jesus."

Trumpers still believe that Christianity is a meritocracy, you know, like Islam.

It's not... never has been, never will be.

1Nut tried to get tickets on the Lolita Express... but they kept telling him they never heard of the Rorita Express!

Thune is no hero, he's just not a masochist, either.

He would do this if he could, but he can't because Trump has alienated enough of his Base to cost enough Repubs their jobs if they vote for this.

"You have to have unified support, not only in support of the ultimate goal, which is the SAVE America Act, but on the process to be able to defeat amendments that would undo the legislation in the first place," Thune said. "We can't find a piece of legislation in history that's been passed that way."

And has nada to do with climate change.

It's what's known as, 'weather'.

"According to a new poll, Talarico holds a slim lead over Cornyn or Paxton and has a higher favorability rating than both candidates.

The poll also found that Talarico is by far the most favorable candidate. He had a net favorability rating of +6 percentage points.

Cornyn's favorability rating was -28 points, and Paxton's was -24.

Democrats have not won a statewide election in Texas since 1994, but the party is hoping to pick up key seats in the midterm elections.

Democrat Taylor Rehmet, a military veteran and union leader, won state Senate District 9 by more than 14 percentage points earlier this year, buoying optimism within the party."

Threads reeks of desperation... basically a weak-minded Whataboutism.

Maybe they'll even let 1Nut back in... if he gives up his DNA to Chinese Security and promises not to post on their websites!

Chinese Whataboutisms!

Read one, and thirty minutes later you're hungry for more!

Oblivious to the Facts as per usual.

There's absolutely no evidence at all of illegal voting changing the results of an election in this country.

That kind of voter fraud is a Big Lie.... which is why Trumpers believe it.

I see that anecdote is still evidence to Trump Worshipers.

Fatfisher per #7 is just more proof that rwingers are self-concerned bigots. (look it up, FF)

As if we needed any more proof of that.

"Climate scientists emphasize that colder-than-usual winters do not disprove global warming; rather, they fit within a warming trend where, despite fewer, shorter cold snaps, rapid Arctic heating can disrupt the polar vortex, forcing cold air into lower latitudes.

Winters are warming faster than other seasons, reducing the overall frequency of freezing nights."

"There's always enough money to bomb people on the other side of the world."

Apparently in China anecdotes are evidence... of something, anything, no one knows what.

Wait until he finds out that they are over 13.

Someone's going to get fired!
