James Carville has a theory. He thinks after the mid-terms, trump will get tired of the problems and walk away from the Presidency after getting JD to pardon him. I disagree with Carville. Well, sort of. I agree Donny doesn’t like the problems, but he never has. That’s why he doesn’t deal with them. He just tries to talk his way out of them. So far, it hasn’t worked. I mean, he DOES squirm out of taking any responsibility, but the problems remain.

The thing Carville isn’t taking into account is the money. Trump loves money more than anything else. Did you ever see the 1968 movie, ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?’ There’s a scene in which the gang robs a train. Butch uses too much dynamite and blasts money everywhere. As the gang is picking up the money, a second train pulls up and a posse comes charging out.

Butch and Sundance take off and call the others to do the same but a few of the gang members want just one more dollar. They stay too long and end up dead. I think that will be Donny. Not dead, but impeached and that will be good enough. Even after he knows he needs to go, he’ll stay for one more dollar. Greed kills. I think Donny will stay too long. Maybe the posse can catch up to him this time…

So, is now a good time to remind you that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were best friends and likely co-conspirators in a sex trafficking scheme for years and years? He wants people to forget that. People are not forgetting that. Don’t you forget it…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now Operation Epstein Fury is going to include ground troops? In a war we’ve already won? No, not a war, of course. According to trump, if he calls it a war he has to get permission, so he calls it a ‘military operation.’ It’s still a war and I doubt the Founders intended to allow the President to circumvent their writing by playing semantic games. To my mind, it’s an illegal war. With regards to the Bard, a war, by any other name…

Donny has spent his life telling other people how things are and then he expects them to bend themselves into whatever shape they need to bend into to agree. If there’s ANY point of subjectivity in the topic, people might be able to and, based on MAGA, lots of them like to. But every once in a while, something comes up he can’t just talk his way out of.

Covid-19 was one such event. He couldn’t insult the virus away. He tried. He couldn’t tell everyone it wasn’t real. Too many people were dying. There was no story he could tell that reality didn’t smack him in his stupid face and refuse to go along with his narrative. Over a million Americans died while he tried to “talk them out of” Covid-19.

His war in Iran is the same thing. Iranians don’t care about trump’s opinion any more than the Covid virus does. (Or I do.) He’s still stuck in his only “management tool,” though, so he keeps saying the war is won. We beat them. We wiped them out. Speak it into existence. But the price of gas keeps going up. The cost in lives keeps going up. The cost in American treasure and reputation keeps going up.

Reality simply WILL NOT bend to his delusions when it comes to war – or even military operations – any more than Covid-19 bent to his will. There’s an old adage: when you find yourself in a hole, the first step is to stop digging. So, obviously, Donny is escalating. What else might you expect? The guy’s not dealing with reality. He’s been in a battle with reality his entire life. Iran might just prove to be his Waterloo.

It’s a real mind-bender, isn’t it? We’ve won but we’re going to need $200 billion dollars. It’s over, so were going to have ground operations – not boots on the ground, ground operations – probably for weeks to come. I wonder how many people will die THIS time for no reason other than trump can’t handle the truth? To MY mind and way of thinking, it has already been too many…

When grandpa Drumpf so disgraced the Drumpf name (through cowardice) that he had to change it, he chose ‘Trump.’ Remember, ‘trumpery’ means “showy but worthless,” “nonsense, rubbish,” or “deception, trickery, and fraud. When it comes to identifiers, I’d say grandpa Drumpf got it right…

One can always count on the TACO, yes? The Drumpfster is trying to blockade oil from reaching Cuba. Well, he was. Mr. ‘No Regime Change’ is working on regime change there and wants to punish the population in hopes that they’ll revolt. But then, Putin told Donny to let him sell some of his oil despite international sanctions and Donny does what Vlad tells him to do.

So, Donny created an “exception” for Russian oil and the first thing Russia did was to send a tanker full of the beautiful black gold to… CUBA! Trump is blocking oil from Cuba, Russia was taking oil TO Cuba. Who would win that one? My prediction was Putin, because Putin owns Trump. I know, it wasn’t all that great of an insight. Every person not MAGA knows Donny does as Vlad says. He always has, he always will, because Putin owns Trump.

So guess what? The tanker reached Cuba and will offload thousands of barrels of oil in Matanzas, granting relief to the Cuban people. Suddenly, TACO Trump has ‘no problem’ with other countries sending Cuba some oil. Yet another reality he can’t speak into existence…
