      He doesn’t lie, he lives in a narcissistic delusion. With his brain melted, he’s actually terrible at lying… Watch him talk about the Epstein files, he goes stiff like he forgets how to move his body

        Finally, someone said it. He’s too honest for his own good. He doesn’t lie; the people around him do. He just repeats what he’s told and what he believes. He flipflops his opinions and plans every 2 seconds because that’s how long it takes to convince him or a new idea. He doesn’t have the mental capacity to lie.

          Maybe not anymore, but he used to lie like it was going out of style. If his brain wasn’t mush, he would be lying. Now he just repeats whatever the nearest person to him has said.

          The reality is that nobody can reliably assess what he believes or doesn’t believe. Maybe he believes his own bullshit, maybe not. But it’s still bullshit regardless, and his culpability is the same either way.

    The Party said that Oceania had never been in alliance with Eurasia. He, Winston Smith, knew that Oceania had been in alliance with Eurasia as short a time as four years ago. But where did that knowledge exist? Only in his own consciousness, which in any case must soon be annihilated. And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed -if all records told the same tale – then the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past,’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.’ And yet the past, though of its nature alterable, never had been altered. Whatever was true now was true from everlasting to everlasting. It was quite simple. All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory. ‘Reality control’, they called it: in Newspeak, ‘doublethink’

      Right, but he just goes inside and the hornets buzz around impotently, then he is hung over the next morning and pisses on the knocked down hornets nest and goes about his day never giving another thought about it.

    This man has the attention span of an ADHD cocker spaniel. There’s no way in hell he will continue caring about this for more than a couple of weeks.

    He’s trying to apply “Art of the Deal” logic to geopolitics. “Just a little bomb-bomb. Just a little pressure on the Muslim brown people. Then we’ll stop and they’ll give us what we want. That’s how business works. I’m the greatest businessman I’ve ever known, some people say.” People dying for generations to come is just part of the game for these pedophilic narcissist fucktards.

      And he didn’t write the book and has probably never read it.

    Someone has had a whinge to him about share prices.

    Things are just getting started. He destabilised the region, and Iran doesn’t have any reason to discipline tinge aggression now.

    They can destroy a passing ship every few weeks with a $20k drone while the US spends 100s of millions a day just to be present.

      Nah man, Putin is Trump’s hero. Watch us take some territory and refuse to give it up through multiple cease fires. Not only did he not stop the war in Ukraine, he turned America into fucking russia. Fucking dumb timeline

        Iran’s got a couple of orders of magnitude more materiel, wealth and population than the Houthis.

    With their nuclear capability ‘completely obliterated’ for the second time this year, Iran is now three weeks away from a bomb. Whew, world saved /s.

    On the other hand, we can start talking about Trump-Epstein again - especially since the dow is well under 50k.

      If this is true, I think we should hire Iranians to build nuclear powerplants. Our engineers need decades to build one, they managed to rebuild their entire nuclear infrastructure in a few months.

      You know, this reminds me I need to set some kind of Epstein Alarm.

      Every time the DOW fluctuates I should remember to read another document from the 2-percent of the files released so far.

    I don’t talk to my friends this casually.

    If I said “very complete, pretty much” I’m pretty sure they’d bring me to the hospital for a stroke.

    I guess one of the advantages of having literally zero plans other then “kill the current bad guy” is that you can just stop whenever you want and declare victory.
