The Trump Iran War is now in week four. Trump thought it could take “four to five weeks” but admitted it might go longer.
He is also talking about winding the war down while sending in ground troops.
As they used to sing on a children’s television program, “One of these things is not like the other.”
It ought to get very interesting. My wife and I put $30 worth of gas in our ‘compact’ Mazda CX-5 SUV yesterday: 7.44 gallons at $4.569 per gallon. This was at Costco, which has the lowest prices around here. We laughed till we cried, remembering how we used to almost fill our tank each week for the price of one gallon now.
A Dodge RAM 1500 and a Ford F150 pickup trucks were filling up. Those trucks have big tanks, take a lot of fuel, and get poor gas mileage. Know who drive pickup trucks? Trump supporters.
Know who likes Trump’s Iran War? Trump supporters.
Of course, Trump voters have a history of voting against the truth. They voted against Harris because Trump said Harris would take them to war. Trump said he wouldn’t start any wars.
They voted against Harris because Trump promised to lower food prices on day one. He didn’t.
They voted against Harris because they live in rural areas. Rural areas are the hardest hit by Trump’s policies in his second term.
They voted for Trump because he said he would come for the immigrants. They never thought he meant them.
They voted for Trump because he would release the Epstein files on day one. He didn’t.
Trump also said that Presidents Biden and Obama ‘made up’ the Epstein files. Neither were POTUS when the files were created.
Trump also promised to lower oil and gas prices, and then he attacked Iran.
Trump voters: they’re not deep thinkers.
Just like their leader, Donald J. Trump.

Annnd most of them actually believe he is doing what he said he would. All the people who tell them differently are ‘deluded’ or listening to ‘false reports;’ and Trump is the new goddamn savior. I don’t know it that means he’s saving them from us or saving them for snacks.

addendum: maybe we should make it a rule that anyone running for higher office in this country undergoes a congnitive test to make sure they know what goes where and why…

That’s what really staggers me, Judy, and makes me weep for the world. I love that last line thought — brought a hardy laugh. Cheers

Every action he takes, I think, “Not in my name,” he is doing this. I’m ready to make a t-shirt that says just that: “Not In My Name.” Either that, or write a poem, but it would only be good for a day before I’d have to revise it by adding another reason for it not being in my name.
I am not so sure, though, all the Trumpers and S-trump-ets are really happy about the Iran war from the remarks we heard at the local Amvets.

The number seems to be fluctuating…and it depends on the polls and the moon, and how the question is asked, and how the person taking the feels that day…
