Trump promised an end to forever wars. During the campaign, he made a lot of promises as indicated above. When you take into account all the promises made and very few of them have come to fruition, there is only one conclusion - Trump is a dictator who is mentally deranged.
The good news is that it’s the least popular war in American history. And like all wars, it will become even less popular as it drags on. With no objectives, there will be no achieve able milestones. They have very few good choices.
Hey, weird question from a dirty foreigner: what's JD been doing on this? I haven't seen him on the interview shows or news programs. I feel like he's doing the strategic silence thing? Am I crazy?
It took me a long time to understand why Trumpsters aren't bothered by Trump's lies, even while they get hopping mad over any hint of dishonesty from other politicians. I've heard their attitude described as "taking him seriously, not literally." But it's more about hearing him selectively. They feel that lying is an inevitable part of the job, and that Trump knows how to play that game, but that he also sends the true messaging with a wink and a nod to his followers. And, for them, being able to glean the truth from the lies confers status—they get to be in the elite class of in-group that understands what he *really* means. And so, if you point out his lies, their take is that he's lying to *you* not lying to *me*. This is one of those rare occasions where the Trumpsters realize that he's lying to them, too.
Regardless of what the polls say or what the actual feelings about the war or what results from it are, do not expect a mass exodus from the GoP/MAGA WRT actual votes. That would require voting for :shudder: a woke, eminist, socialist Democrat. The best that you can hope for is that MAGA stays home at midterms, they aren't going to switch tribes.
MAGA has a rough time with their children dying under the Trump regime. For quite a while, it's been from preventable disease and natural disasters. Now, a new front has opened for them: the meatgrinder of a plan-free forever war. Shall I feel sympathy for them? No.
Trump thinks America belongs to him, i.e. America = Trump. Therefore, using simple math, we can write the correct way to think about 'America First' which is to replace America with Trump to get 'Trump First'.
Can't wait to hear Candice Owens' take about how Israel is straight dog walking our military right now (which it is). Trump is a corrupted pet for Netanyahu and the Saudi royal family.
Well, the Sauds and Qataris (and other Araibian sovereign wealth funds) have obviously shelled out enough in bribes--and Bibi is the corrupt type that Trump really identifies with and idolizes.
Remeber the days when we thought that Bibi might actually be gone--but that somehow didn't happen?
Trump is SO easy to buy if you have the right ass-kissing skills or enough money... or a good mix of both. The most for-sale leader on the planet.
I refuse to be hopeful that any substantial number of Republicans ,MAGA or not) will change voting habits because of this debacle.Look at all the polls-70+ Republicans SUPPORT this stupid war!
I'm convinced that most polling from all sources,continues to over-estimate/claim that a significant number of Repubs will "come to their senses" and reject this asshole.
“The lack of any coherent message seems to suggest the lack of any coherent objective,” Davis wrote.
“We need to have a serious conversation about what the fuck is happening to this country, and who in the hell are these decisions being made for, and who is making these decisions,” Greene said.
Hmmm, either I am finally losing it and now agreeing with rightwingers, or they are starting to come to their senses.

No, you're not crazy; it's a very weird thing.
Maybe he's busy nesting.

Have not watched Megyn Kelly in a long time but I must say she's still kinda hot.
Like a hot water enema?
Even Nick Fuentes... https://ca.news.yahoo.com/far-influencer-revolts-against-trump-171819027.html
Lack of a coherent objective? Why, we have top men working on it right now. .......Top.......men.

Yup
Easy to blame it all on Israel. That removes responsibility from Trump, Saudi Arabia and the rest of their Middle Eastern business partners.

I don't care what administration did or would do this, it's just one more shit show as far as I can tell.
