1. Leader of the pack of rabid dogs.

   Fify

   And that’s an insult to rabid dogs.

   1. Trump follows the money and does what he's told, says what he's told to say, pretends that Israel is a legitimate state. A bunch of Europeans making up a story that entitles them to grab whatever they want and kill whoever is in their way.

      1. You follow nonsense and write what you imagine.

   2. I don't see where that pack is gonna come from? The Europeans are busy with Russia now that they have seen fit to create themselves an enemy for no good reason and Trump has decided to stick them with the bill not just for NATO but also for Ukraine's defense. The gulf states are not eager to get drawn into a war (Saudi Arabia even normalized relations with Iran just recently). So who? Maybe the UK poodle and of course Israel. Not a big pack.

      1. Germany has been insanely supportive of Israel.

         Now the EU upped humanitarian aid to the Palestine Authority, which is bullshit.

         They will apply austerity measures to their own people to keep the war machine going.

         1. I'm not sure Germany would participate in an attack on Iran. And if they do, the German military is not structured for such an operation; they won't be able to contribute much. Of course, that may change now that they have gone full Nazi again.

            1. IKR?

            2. My mom lived the German occupation during WWII. She told me stories how brutal it was and how much people hated Germany afterwards. She also told me how impressed she was with Germany apologizing and repairing relations after WWII.

               And now Baerbock, then Merz… WTF?!

            3. Merz is BlackRock.

               Merz, let’s not forget, has long represented the interests of some of the world’s most powerful corporate and financial elites, most notably as a key representative of BlackRock in Germany between 2016 and 2020….

               As Werner Rügemer, author of BlackRock Germany, explains, at Mayer Brown Merz helped facilitate deals that promoted the interests of US capital in Germany, encouraging American investors to buy companies in the Federal Republic. The result was the sale and restructuring of thousands of German firms, which involved slashing jobs and freezing wages — an approach openly praised by Merz in his book Dare to Be More Capitalist. No doubt keen to embody his book’s thesis, during this period Merz also sat on the supervisory and administrative boards of several major corporations. And then BlackRock, arguably one of the most powerful companies to ever exist, came knocking. How could Merz say no? Pharmaceuticals, entertainment, media and, of course, war — there is virtually no sector that BlackRock won’t try and profit from….

               The attraction of hiring Merz isn’t hard to glean. He facilitated meetings between BlackRock CEO Larry Fink and German politicians, helping to shape the policies that would benefit the company and its vast portfolio of investments. Under Merz’s influence, for instance, BlackRock became one of the largest non-German shareholders in many of the country’s most important companies — from Deutsche Bank to Volkswagen, BMW to Siemens. Yet his work wasn’t just about increasing profits for shareholders; it was also about shaping a political environment where corporate interests were aligned with government policy. By happy coincidence, it also created a climate in which someone like Merz could easily flit between big business and the Bundestag…

               Merz is a strong supporter of the privatisation of social welfare systems — to the benefit of companies such as BlackRock, a leader in private pension schemes. He has also traditionally been a staunch opponent of the minimum wage and of laws against unfair dismissal. Under his watch, German workers are very likely to see their wages continue to stagnate, or worse.

            4. Thank you. I didn't know that.

   3. At least rabid dogs have a good reason to act as they do.

      1. Exactly, my friend.

2. “You asked if he’d drag me in, like I’d go in unwillingly. No, I may go in very willingly if we can’t get a deal. If we don’t make a deal, I’ll be leading the pack,” Trump said.

   What happened To Say Israel would lead the attack last week mr. president…?

   1. You're expecting rhyme or reason from a clown?

      1. Or expecting consistency ?

         Present-Day Trump, and One Month Into The Future Trump, could chat with each other anonymously over social media about their policies and in the end have NO IDEA who the other person actually was.

         1. Hey babbler, what about the actual subject here, instead of your gossip narrative???

            1. When will you stop babbling and say something constructive?

            2. Look at you & your Whataboutism…!

         2. Well said. But I'd bet they'd both agree that the other guy was an asshole.

            1. Look at you letists gossip, do you get mutual comfort from that, as Trump ends wars???

            2. Trump is enabling/supporting the genocide in Gaza. He is now at the level of Joe Biden.

            3. "Trump ends wars" So far he is 0 for 2 on doing that.

            4. Hey, they’d be right.

            5. It’d be a brilliant postmodern version of the Turing Test. We might call it the Trumping Test :

               At any time, given public statements* made 2+ weeks ago, could President Trump identify which quotes were his and which were not ?

               *in this test, some statements were what Trump said, while others were generated by flawed ChatGPT infused with the digital equivalent of a gallon of White Claw.

      2. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/755d043b1eceb4842ae4695b33504cd3ede725ef971b87bb6bed929e1ff66095.jpg

         1. You are so intellectual.

      3. I expect nothing of any value from you clueless leftists.

         Trump is there, and the conflicts your leftist idols caused are subsiding, clowns.

         1. "conflicts your leftist idols caused are subsiding" They are?

   2. He never said that. even if they show him right there where he said it he will just brush it aside as "fake news"

      1. And demand whoever was responsible to be arrested.

      2. He did say that, you lack comprehension ability.

   3. It's called negotiation rhetoric, which you are unable to comprehend.

3. Trump shouldn't forget about his obligations to the pack which U.S. is still leading against Russia. At least he should proclaim "mission accomplished".

   1. More like "mission forgotten." Just like he forgot North Korea once it became clear he doesn't know how to solve the Korean problem.

      1. Look at this whining leftist folks, Trump has not solved the NK problem in 3 months, which has been going on for 72 years. Wow, such a stunning criticism from you. Trump got the nuclear tests and missile events stopped in 2017, which resumed when he left, gee, you go figure, if you can ever learn how.

         1. Well, Trump DID promise (and fail) to end the Ukraine War on "Day 1" of his Forever Term this past Jan 21st.

            So in terms of lofty goals, Don('t) Tru(st)mp has the reliability of a Magic 8-Ball.

   2. Trump has no such obligation you imagined.

4. What's troubling now is that he has as of yet to close even one 'big, beautiful deal' or 'win' on the world stage. And may God help any and all suffering associated with what a 'win' is supposed to look like.

   1. But what about the actual situation, instead of your adolescent whining? Yes I do think you are troubled.

      He already got some cease fires. We know, you folks are shook up that Trump may accomplish peace, which would make you wrong, and damage your self image.

      1. The cease fire in Gaza has moved on to Trump greenlighting Israel's resumption of the genocide and now includes 2 months of no aid being allowed into Gaza. None. And that started MARCH 2nd during phase 1 of the "cease fire" which Trump did absolutely nothing about. He did manage to threaten the civilians in Gaza with death if they didn't overthrow Hamas. Man, you really should shut up.

      2. Are you talking about that ceasefire between Hamas and Israel that Israel violated almost immediately? For some reason Russians and Ukranians dying seems to bother him but in Gaza every last man, woman and child can go straight to hell. Seizing Canada, Greenland, Panama Canal-where did this covetous crap come from? You remember any of that on the campaign trail?
         Why-on day one were weapons shipments to Ukraine and Israel never stopped? And why is he pulling an Obama and bombing the Houthis without congressional authorization? Why are the Houthis even targeting merchant ships in the Red Sea? Their camels must be in the shop and they’re just bored. What do you know about Ukranians terrorizing ethnic Russians since the 1950’s? What do you know about HW Bush and James Baker promising Russia that NATO would not advance one inch to the east? How’d that work out? Regular people sat in jail and hundreds had their lives destroyed defending him. A rich man would never suffer for a poor man. Hell, he’s a draft-dodger like Clinton, Bush, Cheney, Bolton-and you people think he’s Jesus Howard Christ.

      3. I'm not confident you know (or accept) what the "actual situation" is.

         Amusingly, the "Trump Derangement Syndrome" his GISS Army sycophants used to slur the Left with, now seems to describe the blind, irrational fawning shown by the GISS Army for their Dear Leader.

         1. Always has.

5. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0c572d6f63c99a69bea4acd7fb38cef008d3e7f659e387eae49c3ab6551a9686.jpg

6. Trump s so full of hot air, it causes his hair to float!….

7. An attack would be clearly disregarding the constitution. Where is congress?

   1. Bah, Trump's sure the war would be won before he hits any 90-day Congressional notification limit.

      Besides, Congress and Senate are entirely irrelevant to Trump's "Rule By Personal Whim". If he felt he needed a legislative fig-leaf (and he does not feel that) he could lob a wiffle-ball in the Capitol Building's generalised direction.

      1. And, what about the actual situation, instead of your comic book prose???

         1. Can you refute his "comic book prose"? If you can, why would you not post the refutation instead of just tossing insults.

8. The French monarchy had its FAFO moment, too. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d49cfc952754c01701b79c7129160b520cd03aa31391c3e9b331fa636d9e33a7.jpg

   1. Right on point.

9. The Israeli leader has repeatedly invoked the “Libya model,” referring to when former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi agreed to dismantle his nuclear infrastructure in 2003. Only eight years later, in 2011, Gaddafi was brutally killed by US-backed militants after a NATO airstrike hit his convoy amid a US-NATO bombing campaign.

   I read a similar story this morning on the MSM. They failed to mention the part I put in bold type. Thanks Dave for every truth you tell us.

   1. It would seem these people have taken the brutally killed* part of what happened as the new standard for what's allowed in cruelty as they promote themselves and their causes with Gaza and now Yemen. (*Gaddafi was found crawling in a ditch, sodomized with a bayonet, and this led to HRC's insane amusement over it.)

      1. She needed her mouth washed out with Mr Clean.

      2. Psychopaths all.

10. The Orange Clown can't keep his mouth shut.

    1. That's what's keeps him going. he needs constant attention adn the media is giving it to him.

       1. NINE YEARS running.

          1. You have been babbling far longer than that, leftist. You folks hate the idea that Trump is reducing conflicts.

             1. Trump has allowed a total blockade of aid getting into Gaza for two months. Trump is now Joe Biden. You really should shut up.

             2. No. Trump has accomplished nothing to reduce conflicts. In fact the conflict between Yemen and USA has increase under trump.

          2. Try since the 1980s.

             1. But not EVERY day. And I do mean EVERY.

       2. What keeps you leftists going is childish gossip.

          Trump is busy ending wars you leftists caused.

          It's stuning how you folks can write this stuff and embarrass yourselves.

          1. The term "leftist" really isn't the insult you think it is. I'm delighted to be associated with the political Left.

             The Left is an ideology that asks "what can we do to improve everyone's well-being" while the Right asks "how can the System benefit me personally at any expense?". I'd much rather be associated with thoughtful, reasoned altruism than with stubborn selfishness.

    2. Babbling leftists babble like children. Are you in your safe space?

       1. Bill is a conservative. But you wouldn't know that because you accuse anyone that is truthful about Trump to be a "leftist". And you actually think Biden is a leftist.

          1. “And you actually think”

             The evidence for that proposition isn’t very good.

             1. If this was the 1970's, I'd recommend Prizz put butter on that sick burn !!!

       2. You are babbling more that any other posters on this board.

11. I have to agree with Norman Finklestein that nothing good or of peace can be achieved with the media covering Trump 24/7, day in, day out, forever it seems. And Trump does it on purpose so that they can't help but have to cover him. A devilish cycle.

    1. Oh we got you, how horrible is it for Trump to be accomplishing things, how dare he do that. You mean, Trump is purposely trying to do things, unlike your idol leftist Biden? Sure, I'd go to some far leftist like Finklestein for advice. Did he ever attack Biden???

       1. Yes, Trump is purposely allowing Israel to have gone 2 months without allowing any aid into Gaza. And he doesn't say a peep when Israel bombs children sleeping in tents. And I'll go out on a limb here and say Finkelstein HAS attacked Biden.

       2. If count recking the stock market an accomplishment, than yes trump is accomplishing something.

12. The man needs a gag.
    How do we appear to the rest of the planet?
    A gang of loudmouth bullies.

13. "I’ll be leading the pack' There will be no pack. Other than Israel, no other countries are going to help President tariff.

14. Maybe USA intervention around the world needs to stop?
    If other countries request USA assistance they should pay.
    Why should the USA taxpayer foot the bill for any foreign nation?
