F.F.S. We went to war on the advice of two real estate developers. Apologies in being late to the daily bitch sessions .
Im catching up on the news i been having some long days at work.
And it just keeps getting worse as the news is now saying. Iran has laid mines in the straits.
Im very doubtful that this administration ever took the possibility of mining the straits into consideration.

(3,881 posts)a day or two of bombing, he swoops in and "ends" it with his brilliant diplomacy and deal making abilities, the epstein scandal is forgotten, the economy starts to improve, everybody praises him for his brilliance and "winning" the war, he gets his peace prize, and he goes down as the greatest prezzie of all time.
He was already showing signs of being bored of this mess of his and his admins creation by the third day. It's not going according to whatever script he and his folks have written. Reality has taken over, it isn't being nice to him, and he can't deal with Reality.

But then, the Orange Tumor has never thought beyond the end of his Captain Toad-shaped johnson. But you can be sure that he's delighted with the chaos he's caused; that's what he lives for. The turmoil in the Middle East is spreading like wildfire, and soon engulf Europe as well, in all likelihood.
The law of unintended consequences is about to go supernova.
