We are told that Iran’s attack on Israel on Saturday night was carefully planned to do no real damage. In fact, the administration and the pundits were congratulating each other on Sunday morning news shows on the fact that as planned, almost no damage was done. But Iran threw over 300 missiles at Israel and even though the Iron Dome system is very functional we were lucky to get almost all of them.
This can’t go on. Iran won’t miss forever. If they don’t atop, eventually one of them is going to hit something important and that will mean real war.

Chris Sununu went on record Sunday that he would give up his former position of bi-partisan reasonableness, the one that got him elected in a reasonable state, to support Donald Trump, even if Trump were convicted in the trial that started Monday. Sununu tries to dredge up a lot of political mumbo jumbo, but the reality is that he and others are willing to support a criminal just so they can get their party in office.
Sununu claims it’s not about Trump, but that’s bullshit! Trump is the only one the GOP is running. Sununu admits that Trump was part of an insurrection, that he may be a convicted criminal by the time of the election, but he will still support him, because, he says, America wants a change. Of course, America hasn’t said that. That is ridiculous, and even if it did, a change to Trump isn’t the one it wants. If there were an intelligence test to get in office, both Trump and Sununu would fail. Sununu is so full of double talk and lies that it’s hard to believe that a state like New Hampshire would elect a clown like him.
I understand party loyalty, but loyalty to my country is far more important. I am shocked that people like Nikki Haley have stated that they will vote for Trump. They are clearly putting their party ahead of their country and in this case that makes them traitors, because Trump is a traitor who tried to overthrow the constitution and one who will go on trial for it if he is not elected. Yeah, that’s what the liar in chief is fighting for. He must win this election, or he will face at least three more trials and the strong possibility of spending significant time in a specially built jail cell in a place that the Secret Service can guard.

Reince Priebus was busy doing his GOP ramble on This Week when he stumbled into abortion rights where Donna Brazil, who was waiting in the tall grass, tore him a new asshole. Reince just wasn’t ready for the tsunami of fury that the former Chair of The Democratic National Committee unleashed, but if he has one last iota of gray matter left, he won’t go there again without an M-16.

Joe Biden has to get rid of John Kirby his Coordinator of Strategic Communications. He is the least communicative human being I have ever seen. Kirby misses all the important points, screws up the point of every discussion, and turns even important situations into drivel. Sunday morning, he completely missed the point of the Iranian attack on Israel, claiming that Iranians wanted to inflict great damage on Israel when it was clear that they knew Iron Dome and the combined efforts of America, England and Jordan would successfully knock down most of their efforts allowing them to make a statement without risking a war. How does this pandering clown keep his job? Every time he’s asked a question that involves him having some knowledge of what is going on in the government he begs off. He is a font of ignorance.

Kristen Welker had Republican Mike Turner on Meet the Press and never asked him the key question. “Should the US attack Iran?” She finally did get around to asking him if he would support a US attack on Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Turner like his buddy Sununu and other GOP spokesmen could only stumble around, babbling nonsense until he finally admitted that he thought the U.S. should threaten Iran’s nuclear capabilities but he never said how or to what extent. It seems all questions asked on foreign policy to any politician in the GOP are unanswerable without the guidance of Trump.

Mike Johnson told the world that he was going to do something to get a vote on the Supplemental arms bill that has passed the Senate and been sitting on his desk for months. Then he went down to Mar-a-Largo to get permission from Trump. Then Marjorie Taylor-Greene and a couple of the reptiles that infest congress started to make negative noises and the GOP didn’t know what to do.
So, Johnson is now saying that he is working on a new bill to replace the Senate’s bill. The way Johnson and Republican’s function, that means another year before anything gets done and Ukraine doesn’t have another year. This GOP congress is a bunch that can’t walk and chew gum. There is only one functional option and that is for Johnson to present the Senate bill to The House and have them vote on it. If they don’t do that hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians will die and by next year our kids will be fighting the Russians in Poland or Finland. I know that Taylor-Greene’s bunch of louts and Trump’s ass kissers are too stupid to understand any of this, but they must be forced to. If Johnson doesn’t move this week the Democrats must go after him. If that means teaming up with Taylor-Greene and her child abuse fantasists, so be it, at least for this one thing. This bill must be passed, now!

There has been a lot of noise about the fact, and it is a fact, that we can’t send Donald Trump to jail. The jails we have are not equipped to hold a former President nor is the Secret Service equipped to deal with him inside any currently existing jail. So, the fat sociopath has taken that situation and run with it, acting like the swine he is, because he thinks there will be no penalty for his actions. But there can be.
We can build a little jail just for him. A one-man prison that the Secret Service can control, one that keeps Trump isolated just as he would be in any prison in the land. They sent Napoléon to Elba because there wasn’t a prison in France that could hold him. Elba did. Sure, it would cost a little money but with the money being spent on these trials it wouldn’t really amount to much. And it would return Trump to the rest of the criminal society that he emulates but unlike whom he has not been held accountable.
Come on people, this is the solution. All we have to do… is do it. Shut the mouth that roars and lies. We make a lot of noise about treating Trump like anyone else on trial. How about really doing that.
