Trump makes profane threat about Strait of Hormuz after pilot rescue

Source: abc news



1 minute ago

.....................

President Donald Trump is threatening to attack Iran's power plants and bridges on Tuesday if the Strait of Hormuz is not fully opened by then.

In a profanity-filled post on his social media platform on Sunday, Trump said to the Iranian regime in part, "you'll be living in Hell" if it did not open the critical maritime shipping channel for oil and trade.

......................

Trump posted his statement just minutes after offering some details of the rescue that unfolded "deep inside the mountains of Iran" of an F-15E crew member, whom he described as a "respected colonel" after his aircraft was downed on Friday by Iranian fire. Trump said the colonel was seriously wounded and was rescued as "the Iranian Military was looking hard, in big numbers, and getting close."...................

President Trump: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

And announce it on every news outlet that the USA will cooperate with our allies in prosecuting any Americans who commit war crimes. These murderous republicans must be held accountable if this country will ever stand on its feet again. We cannot let war criminals escape justice like they did after launching the war of aggression in Iraq.

Or was it one of his demons like Stephen Miller? Who knows but it doesn't look like something he would compose, if for no other reason than the punctuation looks half accurate and it's not in all caps.

Someone who thinks this way to even drive a car down the street or highway without damaging someone else property over some stupid nonsense
How can you trust someone who thinks this way to not start a fight over some stupid shit at a restaurant or bar
How can you trust someone who thinks this way to not cause a problem at their job over some stupid nonsense

He's an insane jerk and so is anybody who supports him

Has anyone actually seen him? If pedo Trump can pretend to be hurt by a sniper, he can pretend to rescue downed pilots.

Sad state of affairs when you cannot trust the government with the truth. That is how far we have sunk IMO.

Just kidding.

I totally agree.

And the Rs do need to grow a complex, flexible structure extending from the skull base to the tailbone, supporting the body and protecting the spinal cord sometime really really soon!!

There's the virility thing I guess but really they're a weak point. A serous liability for an upright species. I've slipped off enough bicycle seats to know. And picking up nieces and nephews with those damn "steel toed" borgans. Ouch!! They are no measure of toughness at all!

...the traits generally being referred to when someone is said to "have balls", e.g. aggressiveness/assertiveness, risk-taking, competitiveness. Of course, that doesn't mean women can't have these characteristics as well (and women do have some testosterone), but it's not like there's no correlation between balls (testicles) and ballsiness (traits commonly associated with increased testosterone).

My point is, they're just hanging out there waiting to be kicked into your nostrils. And the associated, debilitating pain. "Gee, I've got all this testosterone, yet I'm writhing on the floor in agony. Maybe I shouldn't have been so stupidly aggressive."

Besides the physical vulnerability that borders on ridiculous, in my years as a male, aggression and unthinking assertiveness have gotten me into the most trouble. Maybe we should change "ballsiness" to "hormone driven, thus stupid. Don't pay attention to them. The boneheads will get us all in trouble."

250 years ago:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights"
163 years ago:
"we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
65 years ago:
"ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country."

Today:
"Fuck you, assholes, I'm gonna bomb your heathen asses!!!!"
