"When you're unhinged, things make their way out of you that should be kept inside, and other things get in that ought to be shut out. The locks lose their powers. The guards go to sleep. The passwords fail."
Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin

So Trump snarls he will bomb Oman if they somehow (unspecified) get in the way of him ending - somehow (also unspecified) - the war he and Israel launched nearly six months ago, but he's really not in any hurry - a point he makes repeatedly, not in a hurry.

So, basically, Old Demento is ---- scared and desperately wants out of the colossal mess he made now. In the world of the Iranian bazaar, a preening, plump peacock appears just about ready for the picking. Unfortunately, it will not be enough for the Iranians that Trump simply loses his war. He (and we by association) must be humiliated and retaught a lesson every president but one since Jimmy Carter easily absorbed. It's not tough love; it's called getting educated about that pride going before destruction thang.

Fun fact: Ms. Harp is of the same age as Melanie or Melody or Melania or whatever the name of Trump's disappearing wife is when she married Trump. Not as young as in the Epstein party days, but dementia blurs the lines.

Piggy gonna be pi$$ed.

Lying is the default position for the regime and its lickspittle enablers and enforcers.
After all, the regime is led by a 34-times convicted financial crimes felon.
Small surprise so many in the regime are either actual or aspiring crooks.
Always - always - follow the money.
In the meantime, don't be a compliant cake eater for the oligarchs' amusement.
Resist when and as you can.

"The Trump administration is the most pro-crime administration in United States history " as long as the crime in question is committed by the president, his family, his donors, or his friends," notes conservative David Frum.

The Treasury's announcement last week is merely the latest Trump gift to crooks, cheats, and traffickers. As his popularity collapses among almost every other demographic, Trump seems to recognize that the criminal-American community is his last and most loyal constituency.

"Not nearly long enough."

Thank you, Seaman Bonespurs, for your predictably callous and ignoramic comments.
Man, oh, man, have the Republicans ever done a number on this country with their sycophancy.
For a thirty-four times convicted criminal.
"Nips" they called him (allegedly) when he and ... .
But I digress into Trump's Epstein Coverup territory.
And as we all know by now, Trump would start a war to avoid dealing with that.

MAGAts really have a thang about the ladies. And if those lady types meet the Kavanaugh Test? Ho boy, they just start a-huffin an a-pantin an a-spoutin nonsense like middle school boys examining a high school cheerleader on the other side of the chain link fence separating her campus from their playground.

Man, the History Train really left you behind ... far behind. But run, maybe you can catch up, jesterboi.

Best monument to Trump is the current unfinished construction heap and hole at the White House.
It's a crappy art installation that may look better as an unrecognizable pile than whatever it finally turns out to be.
Although as a tasteless money pit constructed contra norms and law it says quite a lot about Trump.
Yup, that's it: THE DONALD J, TRUMP WHITE HOUSE BESTEST YUGE PILE & MONEY PIT FOREVER & EVER & EV ...
(Oops, ran out of money ... Barrack Hussein Obama's fault.)

ICE murders people in the streets.
They are not the American GESTAPO, because ...
... the GESTAPO wasn't in the habit of hiding their identities.

Days ago.
Do try and keep up.

Read a little Turchin and get back to us.

The idea that you are an "us" or speak for an "us" is utterly risible.

ICE thugs murder people in the streets, without cause and with impunity, thanks to Trumpist de facto immunity from prosecution for lawbreaking. (Not their first rodeo, either.). At least Hitler's GESTAPO enforcers favored the bare-faced approach. The Nazi regime was, of course, a more confident regime than our current Republican iteration of fascism.

It's all been one "ceasefire" since the signing of the MOU between the US and Iran. Absent an agreement on control over the Strait of Hormuz and a boatload of other dicey issues, the MOU (and the non-ceasefire "ceasefire") expires after 60 days, either tomorrow (Aug. 16) or the following day.

Ding! End of the warmup for Round 1. For a preview of what comes next, perhaps someone in the White House might consider taking a peak at Seyed Abbas Araghchi's The Power of Negotiation: Principles and Rules of Political and Diplomatic Negotiations. The author is Iran's foreign minister and, boy, does he have some things to say about the subject.

Not since a venerated ancestor fled a European military draft, establishing himself as a Klondike cathouse operator during the Alaskan gold rush, has a Trump served in the American armed forces.

His war? Not his problem.
The troops? Props.

For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot ...

(The Wikipedia reference above takes you to "wheelbarrow" but there is a relevantreference in Wikipedia if you type in "wheelbarrow robot")

Our firefighter son took one look at info on the robotic beast and said, "I'll take five!"

"The fragile monthlong ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran appears set to expire Monday absent a last-minute deal to extend it and potentially end the war between the two nations"

Interesting, but that's not how America's Forever Wars end.

Admittedly, that term "forever" may at first glance appear a bit over the top. But those wars ended because the US, tiring of a quagmire, threw in the towel and skedaddled.

For Trump? Just another bankruptcy, business as usual.
