It's almost as if Trump and his cabinet of dunces didn't think this thing through.

I love* how his answer to, "do you have a plan for evacuating people?", is to not answer that question at all. He has zero material for that question, so he goes back to today's spin on why we bombed Iran.

No need even to listen to/learn that, it could well be some other reason tomorrow.

*detest and loath, actually.

@gleick It’s called American arrogance and ignorance of the intelligence of other nations.
This is the same situation as why “Shock and Awe” didn’t work.

@gleick Tyranny against the Homeland also starts with a capital 't'.

No matter how many years after the tyrants loss, people fabricating a winning second election 2 years into Biden winning does not a president elect!

"Where did he go?!?"

He's being protected from assassination by MAGA fueled hate crime.

So if you're a MAGAturd, you don't get to see the real president, because y'all made THREATS AGAINST HIS LIFE, multiple times.

Delusional dillweeds.
