U.S. President Donald Trump seemingly discussed the idea of foreign powers taking out California’s most populated cities while delivering a speech at a Republican rally at the Pinnacle Bank Expo in Grand Island, Nebraska Monday evening.

      The Iranians are not stupid enough to remove an idiot who is ruining the US military. That is how the Allies viewed Hitler, they knew who was fucking up Germany’s war effort.

      Yeah, what would they gain by attacking the cities trump hates.

      I’m actually worried that they are planning a false flag and because he is senile he just disclosed it.

    ‘The most uneducated buffoon in history stands at a podium, bloated with self-importance, lips pursed like a carnival barker ready to sell turd milk to the unsuspecting. He grins a grotesque smirk stretched across his face as he scrawls his name onto a hollow decree, a sham celebration of the dismantling of knowledge itself. The Department of Education falls, not with a bang, but with wheezing verbs, suffocated under the weight of his own staggering ignorance. Surrounding him are the usual suspects: cowards in expensive suits, servile sycophants clapping like trained seals, and racist opportunistic ghouls picking clean the bones of democracy. Liars, fools, and thieves all parasites fattening themselves on the hardships of the many. They stand in rigid formation, dead-eyed and soulless, their allegiance sworn not to country, not to principle, but to power, and the dark, festering rot that clings to it. And there he is the convicted wrong, the living embodiment of septic tank spew, his voice a noxious fog of grift and grievance. He lectures the world on right and wrong, irony clawing at the walls, desperate to escape the grotesque theatre of his moral void. The stomach turns, the air curdles, and for a moment, history itself recoils watching, in horror, as the great American experiment teeters on the precipice, led by a man who couldn’t spell “precipice” if his life depended on it.’

      The great American experiment is winding down. It’s been interesting to watch. TBH it didn’t last nearly as long as many historical empires, oh well.

        Well, according to some of my former Christian teachers, that’s because of of the gays.

        Yes, they claim that most empires average 250 years and fall when they start normalizing open homosexuality. No I don’t believe any of that crap anymore.

        A more educated look showed years ago that the US system was based too much on “gentlemen’s agreements” and lacked clear and real protections for democracy and human rights.

          Arn’t Christians appaling. I am a reasonable man and am certain that their holy book is an absolute heap of disgusting, slavery condoning, male infant genital mutilation demanding, repellent, demented, vicious dark age mumbo jumbo. Christians should be told quite clearly that our citizens have the legal right to criticise, lampoon, ridicule and mock god and Jesus to their heart’s content, in any way that they wish: that Christians have no special claim to protection from the rough and tumble of post-Enlightenment intellectual, political and social life. If they cannot live in a society in which this is the case, they should go somewhere else; they are, after all, spoilt for choice, at least in theory.

      My guess is they’ve been discussing the need for a big false flag incident to rally support. He probably just felt like mentioning some possible venues to sound out the audience.

    To paraphrase something I saw online: it’s not that he encouraged Iran to bomb California but Trump could bomb California and blame Iran for it.

      Everything is projection, he posited many times that Obama would bomb Iran just in time to rile up war hawk votes. They’ve literally written down their entire fascist plan and people keep treating it all as separate fuckup news stories

      In the immortal words of Dwight Schrute, “Whenever I’m about to do something, I think, ‘Would an idiot do that?’ And if they would, I do not do that thing.” I don’t imagine the people in charge in Iran are not only stupid enough to attack the seats of power of their foe, let alone stupid enough to attack the locations their foe suggests.

        No. He won’t. Just like Viktor Orban is doing just fine (sure, some indictments and committees)

        Hakeem takes Thiel money and is secretly meeting with Jared Kushner

        The government is, functionally, occupied by foreign paid espionage agents (AIPAC) who are blackmailing the same guy they are running against.

        Maybe a couple MAGA peons will go to jail, but no one else will. Steve Mnuchin was one of the architects of the 2008 financial crisis and he got to be the last (trump) Treasury secretary.

        This is all assuming the trump dies before 2028 because he isn’t leaving while he is alive and they will milk his carcass like the turtle when he goes too. We will have an obvious AI trump president of this happens

    Isn’t it illegal to incite violence against the citizens of the USA? Especially by the “potus”? In the normal run-by-the-US Constitution world, wouldn’t that be considered treason?

      Isn’t it illegal

      So is 34 counts of falsifying business records. Not sure why people bring up legality during a Fascist government.

      You think people where saying "Franco shot my kids… that’s illegal!”?

      The play pretend has ended for a while, but only now it’s reached critical mass in how many people are ignoring the rules and laws.
