The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

its the battle of fanatical religion-as-convenience lunatics, one hobbled by dementia and the other by resources.
both sides lose bigly.


I posted the link, from bubblevision's web site, of Trump pronouncing the Iranian proposal unacceptable, on Monday. On Tuesday, Trump the Merciful said it was "workable".

So, of course, to cover his TACO, he does the "JC" thing: blame others.

Trump lashes out to shift blame after ceasefire backlash

Donald Trump has lashed out at “fraudsters and charlatans” who he claims are circulating fake lists of Iran’s ceasefire plan as he tries to put a positive spin on the war.

In an angry Truth Social post on Wednesday, Trump claimed that “numerous agreements, lists and letters” were being sent out by people who had nothing to do with negotiations between the two countries.

The fact remains, "Bibi" and MBS are not willing parties to the cease fire. I have posted the links before, about "Bibi" and MBS pushing Trump the Pawn into fighting the war for them. I also posted pushback from Sean Hannity, referencing the several articles about Trump being pushed into the war, telling "Bibi" that no-one will ever push Trump the God into anything. "Bibi" responded with "heh, heh, heh", which translates to "oh, you think so, eh?"

Reportedly, there is a meeting scheduled to discuss the elements of the proposal on Friday. Trump the Backstabbing "JC" likes to attack on weekendsm between negotiation sessions. It would be consistent with his past performance, to attack this coming weekend....or, he could be waiting for that second ship load of Marines to arrive in the area. After all, why split the toll revenue with Iran, when he can seize controlling islands in the Strait, and pocket *all* the toll money himself.
