Let me get this straight

We sent a proposal to the fucking murderous regime to end the war?

That to me sounds a lot like surrender.

Fucking child raping TACO.

Epstein.

By which I mean he hasn't settled on the poor MAGA slob he wants to blame for this excruciatingly stupid, unplanned move. He and his demented brain (syphilitically so?) hallucinated himself in Gold armor, riding a pure white horse into battle, and impaling the entire governing body of Iran on his golden (of course!) lance.

Now that even he can see how badly he's messed up, his close family of rodentine advisors -- like Steve Bannon and Corey "Mile High Club all-time Champion" Landowski -- are hustling to find someone to blame. Greasy Pete Hegseth, perhaps? Maybe Little Marco? Joe Biden, of course, is always there as a target of blame, as is Barack Obama -- and don't forget Jimmy Carter.

One thing seems certain: Trump wants to stop this "excursion" ASAP because he's destroyed the last shred of American prestige in the world and is, frankly, losing very badly and very embarrassingly

He's partnering with both MBS and Netanyahu, who can't stand each other. But they both want to knock out the Iran threat, so they are both twisting Chump's arm in different ways. Have I got that right?

In terms of danger to the entire world, THAT is the fucking regime that most needs to be changed.
