Just running that through the "Translate Trump Bullshit" device I literally just invented...

Wait... Here ya go...

"Oh fuck, fuck, fuuuck, I am so fucking fucked! I've started a war I've got no way out of and I need the rest of the world to help me but they all fucking hate me!! Fuuuuuck!!"

Done!

Absolutely this. One of the eternal mysteries that will baffle me all the way to my grave is how anyone who even had a basic understanding of who Trump is ever thought he gave a shit about anything but himself.

Yet some Americans saw that and voted for him to look after their country.

TWICE!!!

Not entirely sure how that works in Trump's favour though. Either he's the idiot who started a forever war with Iran just because he wants to distract from his kiddie fiddling past, or he's under the thumb of foreign leaders and compromised.

Which do the MAGA types prefer?

Said "investigation" will be completed and quietly released to absolutely nobody exactly one day after all people asking for the result of said investigation have stopped asking.

Peter Purves hearing the news.

I think the single most wonderful thing about this news has been getting to see the reaction of 87-year-old Peter Purves: genuinely chuffed, bless his heart. Thank you @filmisfabulous.bsky.social @tobyhadoke.bsky.social and everyone involved for allowing us to share in that moment. #DoctorWho

The one positive this dumbass motherfucker has is that he makes Mike Pence seem like a decent pick for VP.

And that's only a positive for Mike Pence. Vance has zero redeeming qualities for anyone else on Earth.

Or elsewhere.

Ever.

Hands up, those who thought there was zero chance the rumoured found episodes were going to be from Master Plan? πŸ–οΈ

Amazing news! Very glad I was wrong.

This is insanely fantastic news. When I heard the rumour about missing episodes being found I genuinely never expected them to be from The Daleks' Master Plan. Cannot wait to watch them!

We have an idiot who makes shit up as he goes along, usually resulting in nothing good, but his people spin this complete lack of forward planning as some sort of enigmatic genius, despite the total lack of evidence that he ever knew what he was actually doing.

Trump's entire life, in a nutshell.

... individual home countries may have. As such, I choose to go with my belief that every single person, regardless of the culture they come from, is owed my respect until they, individually, prove unworthy of it. That has to extend to all or it becomes meaningless.

I guess what it comes down to is that I've spent my life firmly believing that no society or culture is inherently corrupt or evil. I have friends, family or work colleagues in nigh on every part of the world, all of whom I trust to be decent, good people, regardless of the leaders their...

That would presume we can always depend on the polls in question being properly conducted though, surely? My point, wrong as you may or may not believe it to be, was that even if the polls are accurate, I'm still not judging a society as a whole based upon the opinions of the few.

Not a huge fan of stats and polls, because as America has shown, they rarely represent reality. But even if true, that still leaves all the other Israelis who stand against the war and their leaders. Same as Iran, same as Russia, same as the US. There are good, bad and indifferent in every culture.

Absolutely. People such as ourselves became apathetic and complacent to the problem we were allowing to happen. We let those who least deserve power take it. So we are all totally part of the problem, but that doesn't make us all bad people. Stupid, maybe, but not bad.

And going off results of elections and referendums over the last decade or so, most Americans and Brits want all foreigners out of their country too. Not saying all people everywhere are perfect but that's not the point. Judge individuals by what they say and do rather than the people as a whole.

Why is it so hard for some people to separate the people of a country from its leadership? The people of Israel are not the problem anymore than the people of America are. Hell, the people of Iran are incredible too. It's not the people. It's the corrupt assholes we keep giving power to.

NYT: U.S. at Fault in Strike on School in Iran, Preliminary Inquiry Says
Outdated targeting data may have resulted in a mistaken missile strike, according to the ongoing military investigation, which undercuts President Trump’s assertion that Iran could be to blame.

Trump has known this for days but chose to lie about it. Because that’s what he does. That’s what he is.

Van Orden: "Trump derangement syndrome is real."

Proceeds to rant in deranged manner about how Trump is some kind of political genius with plans within plans for the future rather than the dumb son of a bitch making shit up on the spot that we know he actually is.

Yup, TDS is real alright.

Y'know, we joke a lot about Trump and his ability to make such terrible financial decisions that he can bankrupt any business he enters into. I mean, he went bankrupt with a fucking casino...

But with this Iran situation I'm actually starting to think he's capable of bankrupting a planet.

Winning!
