This cat....
Told me the plan is to setup the USA for a National Emergency™. To skip the mid terms. He also suggested a false flag bombing in NY will happen. Trump is desperate because without his Presidency, he will be jailed.

Cheney very much had a plan. It was G W Bush's job to play the ass-clown, since admitting to that plan would have been electoral suicide.
"We'll use 9/11 as an excuse to attack a country that had no connection to 9/11 and that has been killing any Al-Qaida supporters in their own country, in order for us to steer tons of money into contracts for Halliburton to rebuild the oil infrastructure we'll destroy. And of course the defense contractors will get rich too. And meanwhile the oil price will be higher because Iraq will be offline. And Blair will help us lie about reasons for the war."
You sound like a crazy 🤪 conspiracy theorist, I bet you'll tell me about how the ultra elite form secret clubs and eat babies.
Fucked Up Beyond All Repair...
From what I understand, the global economy can survive 2 to 3 weeks without Persian Gulf oil supplies and then it's recession time. All thanks to the MAGA dipshits.
And these dumb motherfuckes just do it. They just follow the pedophile
They do what they're told or they get fired and replaced with those who will.
Incidentally, last year the U.S. Army Made Four Tech Executives Lieutenant Colonels
Let that sink in
On the contrary, the plan is to distract us from the Epstein files.
Btw... all of the names released to date? We doing anything about any of them?
Is Brett Ratner going to jail? No? He's making Rush Hour 4 now?
You have to look at the context too. There's nothing in the released files that implies Clinton did anything illegal. Ratner, that's another story, and same goes for Wexler. And the correspondence with Larry Summer looked incriminating, too.
There’s nothing in the released files that implies Clinton did anything illegal.
I gotta wonder how you resolve a game of Clue if you've got the suspect, the room, and the murder weapon, but you still can't figure out who done it.
Clinton has been credibly accused of sexual assault on multiple occasions. "I didn't do the sex crimes on the sex island with the other rapists" is a "I smoked but I didn't inhale" ass defense.
If you believe it...
Nobody will be prosecuted as a result of the Epstein Files. The chain of custody has been irretrievably compromised. Nothing in them can be trusted as evidence in court, and any lawyer can get the evidence tossed, or at least mistrusted enough by the jury to not convict. This is all just salacious gossip.
The better track to prosecution will be the investigations into the money trails. It's boring, but the evidence is much stronger, and will hold up in court.
The files are not the only evidence. A DoJ not involved in a coverup would interview victims, for one thing, and also interview potential suspects.
The better track to prosecution will be the investigations into the money trails.
That'll show flows of money, but not their purpose. Necessary, but not sufficient.
Follow The Money. That's always where the crime is.
The chain of custody has been irretrievably compromised.
I mean, I don't think that's the reason why.
The better track to prosecution will be the investigations into the money trails.
But that also won't happen, for obvious reasons. Nobody is going to prosecute Jamie fucking Dimon for anything, even though he's closer to the center of this web than even Epstein himself.
Next week, they'll trickle out another bunch of Epstein Files, to distract from whatever atrocities they're committing in Iran.
I think the plan is “do whatever it takes to remain in power and escape consequences for all of the heinous things that he’s done”. I firmly believe that he couldn’t care less about any real issues, since he has no ability to think critically about them or empathize with the people they affect.
I tend to agree. Nothing seems to touch trump…on top of that there’s no move to prosecute him for anything. He has no fear of prosecution thanks to the captured judicial branch and spineless authorities. So this whole “war to distract from the files” idea really falls flat. War to keep escalating and look for reasons to not step down as president or cancel midterms? Absolutely.
But Epstein…? Probably not even on the radar. His family dgaf, his supporters barely twitched, and trump just keeps going.
Trump is just swinging blindly like those dementia-afflicted old people that are angry and lash out at everything who see conspiracies everywhere. The imagined “The nurse’s aid in the care home stole my socks” is now “The Iranians are threatening my ego” or some other imagined momentary fit of pique.

If this is a plan to distract from the Epstein files I would consider that a successful plan because what is happening is fucking insane. This distraction would literally be hiding child rapists by killing children.
this needs to be how this is communicated: "Trump starts war to hide child rape"
"Trump kills children to hide trafficking and raping children."
We can go even shorter "Trump kills children to distract from raping them".
We should call it the Epstein war just to prevent this.
Saw this elsewhere on Lemmy
That's perfect it's the natural thing to call the war. Hopefully this becomes the mainstream thing to call it.

How long before he starts talking about a Draft? Because that's DEFINITELY coming, but probably not until after the Midterms.
At this point the US president exists to take the blame for the will of Israel
I challenge Lemmy users and everyone else, everywhere else I post, to please, please open up conversation with your maga uncle or neo-liberal parents.
Do not be dumb and try to start an argument, don't accuse, don't talk about identity or race or gender or any other issue they're already distracted with. Just ask if they think this is going to lower their groceries costs, their medical care, ask if they wanted a war with a country they can't point to on a map (don't say that) when they supported this administration, and if that's going to guarantee their social security and investments. Ask if it's "great again" yet.
Just ask. Just make them work the question and answer out in their head, that's your ONLY job, just plant the seed of asking how to connect these ideas, it doesn't even matter if they get mad at you for asking, your job is to make them figure out ways to make this work in their head.
Individually, you can't usually reach these people, but if enough of us do this all at once, we can start looking at it sociologically, like fluids, like percentages. We can still turn this around broadly, and Trump starting a war his own political-capital base doesn't want is how we get there so we can actually use this.
Yep, and wars ain't free.
Take a quick look through these reports from this month alone and then add sooner-than-expected loss of Medicare and Social Security to your arguments.
"Well, Granddad, did you know that the money for all these military actions at home and abroad are depleting your Social Security and Medicare funds far more rapidly than ever before, and that one of the major trusts funding your Social Security is expected to dry up entirely in 2032, only six years from now, because of the way Trump and his Congress is spending your cash?"
I mean, use your own wording, and your strategy of just asking the question is a great, non-threatening way to approach it. But add the detail about how soon the losses are coming now if you can, because this alone might rouse them from their stupor: NOTHING gets the Silent Generation and older Boomers up and onto their walkers faster than threats to SS and Medicare.

I definitely agree with asking questions first. I've tried to open by explaining how I see things in an effort to get folks to open up and share how they see them, and people are so used to that being an attempt to tell them to think something different they can kinda shut down and get defensive even just from that
Try to get them talking and engage with them sincerely. If we want to fix the problems we have to do the work to build a bigger coalition

As is American tradition.

La, la, la, la, la, la 🎶
This is going to spiral out of control. The whole Middle East is going to suffer from this. How is Russia going to react? What are the domestic repercussions going to be during an election year?
No love for the Ayatollah's regime but this is a disaster. This admin has such limited forethought they will make the Bush admin look like geniuses in retrospect
The whole Middle East is going to suffer from this.
That's the objective.
Definitely. From what I've read, the CIA and military brass advised against this move because someone more aligned with the IRGC could be installed. Who knows what that will look like, but the Khamenei government was offering to honor the 2015 nuclear agreement. Next regime probably won't be so cooperative.

If you are in the US or Israeli military, you are a baby killing piece of shit, and you should be shunned by your neighbors. Fuck veterans. Take their rights.
