Well done Rick. Good to try to drive focus on the "day after". I still recall well Colin Powell's prescient admonition "you break it, you own it".

Didn’t Elon threatened to start disengaging the space vehicle that is supposed to go get the astronauts?

Elon knows a lot

Oh, nice news about Elon Musk

We have no way of knowing what happened in the 2024 election and what they got away with

Elon’s $300 million sure helped him win

Along with whatever else help he gave him

In watching Trump yesterday out on the lawn of the White House with the workers that are putting up the “very important flagpoles “ all organized behind him…. He looked like grandpa out on the lawn, checking out the workers.

Doesn’t he have more pressing things to do as president of the United States?

he looked horrible and he talked nothing but gibberish and incoherent nonsense

Trumps words ABOUT IRAN :

“ Iran’s got a lot of trouble and they want to negotiate and I say, why didn’t you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction why didn’t you negotiate I said to people why didn’t you negotiate with me two weeks ago you could have done fine you would’ve had a country …..

Unconditional surrender that means I’ve had it I’ve had it I give up go no more we go blow up all the nuclear stuff that’s all over the place

Nothing‘s finished until it’s finished you know war is a very complex a lot of bad things can happen

A lot of terms are made. I don’t know I wouldn’t say we want anything yet but i would say we sure as hell made a lot of progress we’ll see the next week is gonna be very big maybe less than a week maybe less than a week”

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ???

So tired of listening to just this type of ramble instead of something serious, presidential, informed and intelligent .

It’s like mafia talk and thuggery.

That’s all we’ve heard is this type of talk and in these tweets that he’s put out which are only meant to create fear intimidation ,threats, gaslighting to create heightened fear into submission.

This is not how the United States is supposed to handle anything, especially with such a sensitive matter as Iran.

First of all before anybody invades any country they need congressional approval correct ?

Everything is not his final decision right ?

He was always working with Benjamin Netanyahu about Iran .

Neither one of them want to follow any type of democracy or rules or norms.

Where are the Republicans in Congress?

This country and us as Americans has been taken down into the gutter , to the lowest levels and the lowest common denominator

They both want to stay out of jail, so I am sure we will see much more of this gibberish and bullshit coming from them.

Rick, given all this, do you have any hope that we can vote our way out of it, like ever?
