Thank you. I’m honestly scared shitless about what happens next. Trump is unhinged. Every day a different story with increasingly inflamed rhetoric. Some of your readers might appreciate this (admittedly very long) poem I wrote earlier today:
A Timeline of Lies and Deceit
When you put all of Trump’s shifting demands, conditions, and timelines together in one place and just read them chronologically, you get a picture of either a degenerate bullshitter, or a man who’s lost his mind.
It’s TACO Tuesday … TACO @ 7:02 pm ET. Trump is training other countries (and the markets) to tolerate his wild swings, counting on the last minute TACO. This time, just under an hour before the “deadline.” Russ Vought is getting his wish and then some: Trump is traumatizing ALL of us, not just the feds
And speaking of the so-called Truth Social didn't I read a piece just a day or two about the program, old mad man trumpy's only link to the media, is broke and losing money? Gawd, one hopes it, just as with his MAGA idea, the comment is true and both simply fade away into the history books.
I am constantly contacting my Congresspersons’ offices about holding this man accountable & removing his ass from office, as he is manifest UNFIT. At the minimum, while the Republicans are (maybe) getting their shit together on Impeachment or the 25th, or whatever, I have asked that Trump’s mobile phone be removed and stored in a lockbox after hours, and his access to his Truth Social shut down. ALL policies & statements must come from The White House via approved official social channels.
The guy is causing a global crisis by tapping away on his smartphone with his little fingers at all hours and bouncing that shit off of satellites
It is extraordinarily difficult to identify a compelling strategic justification for Trump’s attack on Iran.
Strip away the noise and the question becomes simple: who did this serve?
If an action primarily serves personal or short-term political interests, it is not a serious justification for war. If it does not materially advance America’s security, it is even harder to defend. Reports suggesting that there was no imminent threat from Iran only deepen that concern.
The result is an operation that appears to have imposed significant costs on the United States—lives at risk, resources expended, alliances strained, credibility weakened, and vulnerabilities exposed.
But the real story may lie elsewhere.
A Strategic Gift to China
While the United States was engaged in active operations, a far more patient observer was watching closely: China.
Not as a participant—but as a beneficiary.
In real time, China is likely to have gained valuable insights into:
• Deployment patterns — how and where US forces mobilise
• Logistics, co-ordination, planning under pressure — the flow and strain of wartime supply chains
• Force composition — which high-end assets are actually committed
• Operational behaviour — patterns in strikes, escalation, and restraint
• Munitions performance — including failures that can be studied and exploited
• Command stability — the effects of disruption or turnover at senior levels
• Alliance dynamics — who stands firm, and who stays out when conflict begins
None of this is theoretical. This is the kind of observational intelligence that militaries cannot easily obtain in peacetime. It is learned only when a system is under real stress.
In effect, a live demonstration.
The Deeper Question
Even if one sets aside the most severe interpretations, the strategic consequences are troubling.
If this action was taken as a distraction—from domestic pressures, political vulnerability, or personal considerations—then the implications become far more serious. Because at that point, the issue is no longer just poor judgment.
It is the use of military force for reasons that may have little to do with national interest—and in doing so, potentially strengthening a major strategic rival.
I do not need to prove treason to recognise the gravity of that.
But the question lingers nonetheless:
When an action weakens your own position and strengthens your adversary—
and was never necessary in the first place— what exactly do you call it?
DJT is most definitely mad, self-serving in any and all endeavors, selfish, a moron of gargantuan proportion and just an all around evil man. He has no working knowledge of our Constitution and the parts he thinks he understands he has absolutely no regard for.
When I pray each night I pray that we have seen the end of his madness....but unfortunately when I awake each morning I find out he has found a new way to FUCK UP everything....where are the guardrails? Where the Hell are our legislators...oh, that's right they are on vacation!!! God help us.....
I’m rooting for some country to kidnap Trump and Hegseth and bring them both before The Hague.

From the start of the war in Iran
in every direction it’s spun—
the story of a man obsessed
with all of the ways he has won.
It’s a long and disjointed tale
of the ludicrous things he’s said
since the day it first began—let’s pause
to tally his quotes and the dead.
2/28/26
This is our objective:
to eliminate imminent threats
from a vicious, hostile regime that was
as terrible as it gets.
To the wonderful folks of Iran:
Your freedom is soon at hand.
When we’re finished go take your country back.
It’s yours to grab while you can.
3/2/26
I don’t want to see it drag on.
I always thought four weeks.
We’re a little ahead of schedule, frankly,
in doing all that we seek.
3/4/26
One of the things I want
is to help them pick the man
who’ll replace that fool, Khamenei, as
the leader of Iran.
3/5/26
We want to clean out everything—
yes, one and done in Iran.
Not to return and do it again
after a ten year span.
3/5/26
They’re wasting their time with his son.
The guy’s a total lightweight.
I’ll get my say, and there ain’t no way
he’ll be their next head of state.
3/5/26
We’re going to have to choose him—
a new leader, along with Iran,
we’re going to have to choose him—yes,
of course that’s part of the plan.
3/6/26
UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!
Without it there’s no deal.
Read my lips, you idiots.
Don’t think this isn’t for real.
3/6/26
In case there was any doubt
about what I said before
when I used the word “unconditional”—what is
needed to end the war—
it could be that they announce it,
or maybe that they’re so whipped
that there’s nothing and no one left standing
that they can fight us with.
3/6/26 -l
What the President meant, quite simply,
according to Karoline Leavitt,
is that the war will be over whenever
he damn well decides to say it.
3/7/26
Ari Larijani
in fact has already surrendered
to the countries in the Middle East.
We’re next, then the war will be ended.
3/7/26
NATO is totally worthless.
They refused to join in the fun.
We don’t need people that only enter
wars we’ve already won.
3/11/26
We’ve won. Let me tell you, we’ve won.
In less that an hour all done.
Done and dusted, their country busted.
All over. But we won.
3/13/26
Oh, how the Fake News hates to admit
we are great and they are inept.
Iran is defeated and wants a deal—
Just not one that I would accept.
3/14/26
We’ve decimated Iran
in every conceivable way.
The rest of you who want your oil,
step up and take care of the Strait!
The U.S. stands ready to help—
A LOT! And coordinate
so all goes quickly, smoothly and well,
but it’s time that you own your fate.
3/21/26
If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN
the Strait of Hormuz WITHOUT THREAT
in 48 HOURS from this exact
point in time we’ll get
their various POWER PLANTS
My patience they shouldn’t test.
We’ll START WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST and then
obliterate all of the rest.
3/23/26
We’re intent on making a deal.
They want to make one too.
We’re working on a plan as we speak.
The war will be over soon.
3/24/26
You know, I don’t like to say this—
because this war’s been won—
but the only thing that keeps it going
is how the fake news gets spun.
3/25/26
We’ve crafted a fabulous peace plan
they’d be stupid not to accept.
Dismantle their nukes, reopen the Strait—
how much better for them could it get?
3/26/26
I’m putting a pause on the period
of Energy Plant destruction
for 10 more Days till Monday, 8
P.M. per my instruction.
3/30/26
Open the Strait for Business now
or Obliteration Day!
We’ll blow up everything in sight
to end our lovely ‘stay.’
All your Electric Power Plants,
your Oil Wells and your Island
(and possibly desalinization plants)
You can kiss them all goodbye then!
3/31/26
I had one goal and it’s met.
They will have no nuclear weapon.
It took just a matter of hours for me
to teach them all a lesson.
3/31/26
We’ll be leaving very soon.
Now what happens to the Strait?
We’ll have nothing to do with that, okay?
But I think it’ll be very safe.
4/1/26
The countries of the world
that receive their oil through Hormuz
must take care of it and cherish it.
It’s for them to protect and use.
4/4/26
Remember when I gave them
ten days to MAKE A DEAL?
Their time is almost up, all Hell
will “reign” down on them for real!
4/5/26
You crazy Irani bastards,
now open the Fuckin’ Strait!
Or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH!
Praise Allah—I just can’t wait!
4/5/26
If they don’t come through,
if they want to keep it closed
then they’re going to lose every power plant.
It’s up to them, you know.
Just read them all in order.
This list of things he’s said.
The ramblings of a mad, mad man.
And what yet lies ahead?
