Possibly? He keeps contradicting himself, sometimes in the same sentence.

Luckily I think it is the electoral and governmental systems that are deficient, not the public which is basically the same everywhere

Q: You said the war is 'very complete.' But your defense secretary says 'this is just the beginning.' So which is it?


TRUMP: You could say both

Video appears to show U.S. cruise missile striking Iranian school compound The seven-second video was released by Iranian state media and directly contradicts statements made by President Trump, who said Iran was responsible for the strike.

The Iranian girls’ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.

They use the strait too so I don't know what the cost benefit analysis looks like here. Obviously they want to establish credible deterrence. Trump also says contradictory things and has no credibility.

These two things are not compatible

I don't think the US knows what the US objective is either. Unless they rally thought they could force regime change with some bombs.

It really does sound like they are panicking and want to declare victory and go home. But, uh, does Iran agree?

What incentive do they have not to blow up a tanker as soon as Trump declares victory?

For the same $6 trillion cost, you could crush child poverty with a child allowance and free childcare, fix unemployment insurance, do paid family, sick & medical leave, massively boost ACA subsidies, and eliminate child uninsurance with Medicare for Kids.

we take it for granted today, but a single caramel mocha latte has more extreme vanilla sweet cream flavour than Edmund Burke would get in his whole lifetime

Oh she spams the academics too? I have eventually had her flood my email box at every think tank or evaluation shop I have ever worked at.

Local news is using that framing too. Heard it on the TV at the doctor's office this morning. I thought it particularly odd to use for participants in an anti-muslim hate rally.
