so apparently not only Pluto no longer a planet, but as Trump would have it, the moon is now part of Mars. this gritty reboot of Lost In Space suuuuuuuucks.

Well, Trump's never been the brightest star in the galaxy.

(Also, maybe he meant "of which the Moon is apart"?)

Yeah, well, the White House is proud to announce that "John Barron" will be the new White House Press Secretary.

Seems that we might get a nice nuclear war this year, if we're lucky.

For the first time that I can remember Trump actually seems like a serious President.

President Trump revealed a remarkable level of detail Friday about the tense moments leading up to his split-second decision to call off a retaliatory strike on Iran for the downing of a U.S. drone -- saying he was worried about the casualties and "didn’t think it was proportionate."

“I didn’t like it,” he said in an interview with NBC.
The president said he quizzed his generals before the planes would have taken off on how many people would be killed, and was told approximately 150 Iranians could die.

“I thought about it for a second and said: You know what? They shot down an unmanned drone...and here we are sitting with 150 dead people that would have taken place probably within half an hour after I said go ahead,” he said.

This is some West Wing season 1 shit.

He got us in to this situation, his job to get us out.

His account doesn’t pass the smell test for people who know how these things work. Principally, nothing would be in motion without the casualties being a crystal clear point in the briefing. So, typical default, he’s lying.

For all his previous TV role as a fake competent, decisive leader, you would think he would be able to fake this shit more than once in a blue moon. But the production company isn’t releasing even a minute’s worth of B reel. FSM, is Shitshow even worse then those who are paying attention understand?

Poor Bolton, man probably has blue balls like a motherfucker after Trump sent, then recalled the strikes on Iran

And the racists are blue balled after calling off his bullshit ICE raids.

[morange]

In reality it was more like, yeah yeah do whatever, sure. Then he actually bothered to read/listen for a second and called the strikes off.

[Chankgeez]

Is this a scene from "G20: THE MUSICAL"?
