"President Trump on Tuesday called for Iran’s “unconditional surrender,” cited the possibility of killing Iran’s supreme leader and referred to Israel’s war efforts with the word “we” — all apparent suggestions that the United States could enter the war against Iran."

"Trump leans toward Iran strikes after Huckabee’s divine exhortation"

"In the message to Trump, Huckabee described the president as “the most consequential President in a century – maybe ever” and asserted that “only ONE voice matters. HIS voice.” He wrote, “God spared you in Butler, PA... You did not seek this moment. This moment sought YOU!”

1. These days something really bad is always happening.

[OldBaldy1701E]

61. You mean this?

[Greg_In_SF]

2. Nothing but

speculation.

[orangecrush]

3. We'll find out

[usonian]

4. You know we're livin in hell when "news breaks" on an extended 14 minute video (bringing in CA$H CLICK$)

that we have to waste our allotment of time on earth slogging through

INSTEAD OF TEXT.

I hate YouTube and the culture of condensing a paragraph worth of info into 14 minutes of clicks for dicks.

[orangecrush]

6. We'll see

Very soon, I think.

Sorry you don't like YouTube videos.

[usonian]

19. Absolutely nothing personal. I just hate clickbait culture.

Your posts are most appreciated!

[orangecrush]

22. Thank you!

Here is some context.

Trump left G7 early, looks like he might call for US airstrikes on Iran.

"Trump leans toward Iran strikes after Huckabee’s divine exhortation"

"In the message to Trump, Huckabee described the president as “the most consequential President in a century – maybe ever” and asserted that “only ONE voice matters. HIS voice.” He wrote, “God spared you in Butler, PA... You did not seek this moment. This moment sought YOU!”

43. If you click "more" this takes you to the transcript.

The viewer can scan it and see if there's any "there" there pretty fast.

[usonian]

57. I tried to get a transcript of Senator Padilla's speech this morning. No luck

And those transcripts are unformatted.
I am sure there will be a readable transcript shortly. (from his office, I hope)

Thanks for the tip. Clickbait just drives me crazy.

Especially when I am composing a major blast!!!

Stay tuned.

[MineralMan]

35. Yes! Exactly!

[vapor2]

56. Totally agree

[awesomerwb1]

5. "MAJOR BREAKING"?? Major clickbait maybe

[orangecrush]

9. C Ya

[awesomerwb1]

25. MAJOR INCREDIBLE BREAKING NEWS!!! BYE!

[Prairie Gates]

23. Pretty much

MAJOR STORY! IMPORTANT!!!

Click in: some guy in a YouTube video.



Basta!

[GB_RN]

50. Nope.

It’s headlining NBC’s news page, and HuffPost.

[no_hypocrisy]

7. Holy Dr. Strangelove!

[orangecrush]

11. Netanyahu actually told Iran

"Make Iran great again".

Quote unquote.

[bucolic_frolic]

8. Has TACO time replaced sabre rattling?

[orangecrush]

13. He thinks he is the orange messiah

Sent by Gawd to bring the end times

[slightlv]

64. The Dominionists and Evangelicals

actually believe this bullshit. And are pushing for the worst possible outcome (for everyone else). They're doing happy dances that their christ will now show up for his 2nd coming, now that the worldly lord and savior has almost started the Mideastern WWIII. Hallelujah, let the nukes fly! /sarcasm

[I_UndergroundPanther]

75. Actually

They want the world to end For it to end 3/4 of the Jewish people must die according to the Bible bullshit for jayzuzz to come back. The remnant of the Jews convert to christianity in the end They are totally itching for those nukes to fly and any destruction that can be shoehorned into fitting the end times crap they will make it”fit” and “make sense” to the evilgelicals

[mvd]

10. I'm very worried about a disastrous war, but can you summarize?

What is breaking? Thanks.

[orangecrush]

15. Netanyahu telling Iran the "time is here"

Trump leaving G7, other indicators that US may become directly involved, that is, Trump starting war with no congressional approval whatsoever.

I'm not very good at summarizing, you would get a better indication from viewing.

I'm not pushing it, it's the choice of the reader.

[mvd]

17. Thanks

I didn’t have time for the video right then.

[orangecrush]

20. Also this

"Trump leans toward Iran strikes after Huckabee’s divine exhortation"

"In the message to Trump, Huckabee described the president as “the most consequential President in a century – maybe ever” and asserted that “only ONE voice matters. HIS voice.” He wrote, “God spared you in Butler, PA... You did not seek this moment. This moment sought YOU!”

https://www.jpost.com/international/article-858071

[calimary]

47. Huckabee almost sounds like he's hoping trump will appoint him to something big.

Whoring for a big-ass important new job - would be my guess.

[orangecrush]

48. Highly likely.

[erronis]

37. Since you've "summarized" for several requesters already, why not just do it in the OP?

[Jirel]

12. Another meaningless, alarmist post title...

… inevitably leading to some YouTube time wasteage. 100% perfect way to be ignored.

[orangecrush]

16. Glad you felt the need to post on my thread

Thank you

[littlemissmartypants]

33. It is a kick, afterall. Small favors, I guess. ❤️

[Deuxcents]

14. Some scary 💩 with our unstable leader, I'm afraid

[Renew Deal]

18. This guy referenced the AUMF, but I believe it was repealed.

Though Trump doesn't need the AUMF to take this action based on recent history.

Also, this guy's barber should be replaced.

[LudwigPastorius]

26. "Also, this guy's barber should be replaced."

He looks like Wil Wheaton costumed to play a Miami coke dealer.

[DET]

71. Nailed It

[Kid Berwyn]

21. Trump risks WW3 to stay out of jail.

The American people finally are starting to notice the treason.

[orangecrush]

24. I think he's 100% serious

I think he is going to call in airstrikes on Iran

[benpollard]

27. What's in it for him (Trump)?

Everything is transactional for Trump. If he doesn't benefit in some way, he's not interested. He'd rather be out playing golf.

[littlemissmartypants]

41. He's not actually president. ...

He's just a figure head, that his proxies let have the "credit" possibly for the illusion of lack of culpability. He has "immunity" after all.

But make no mistakes, President Psychopath loves blowing bodies to bits and wafting radiation filled atmosphere all over the planet.

It's always going to be the more destruction, the better with him and his ilk.

Welcome to the land of Robber Barons 2.0. Fasten your seat belts while you still have them.

If I didn't have my new delightful puppy dog, I'd probably just look for the nearest most isolated cliff to run my car off.

The ocean is closer, but I hate drowning and love sea life, especially turtles, too much.

[orangecrush]

49. Distraction

From his tanking polls, the protests, etc.

[AloeVera]

29. I'm afraid so.

He and Netanyahu are insane. Dr. Strangelove and his side kick. Interchangeable on any given day. Don't know who is worse but I know we are ruled by evil men including that Huckabee guy shilling on behalf of Israel for Iran's destruction and salivating to bring on Armageddon. Like the snake that he is, Huckabee knew to appeal to Trump's egomania and delusions of grandeur to get what he wanted. Be very afraid....and think about the millions in Iran now terrified, their lives turned upside down, maybe forever. Who knows if we are not next??

[littlemissmartypants]

42. We're definitely next, AloeVera.

[AloeVera]

68. A little sarcasm?

Lol.

[littlemissmartypants]

70. I'm deadly serious.

President Psychopath's plan is all encompassing.

That was actually my resting optimist post.

[AloeVera]

77. Oh, sorry!

I should have gone with my first reading of your reply.

He's a psychopath alright. I used to think it was "just" narcissism or NPD. Maybe sociopath or ASD. Now I recognize the psycho traits. The darkest of the dark triad. It is truly, horribly frightening.

That is a good list to save. More and more traits are being revealed.

Resting optimist post...

[littlemissmartypants]

79. I'm glad you like the list. ❤️

[area51]

28. Hucksterbee needs to stfu. n/t

[orangecrush]

30. Agree

[MorbidButterflyTat]

53. He sounds like

a damn lunatic.

“God spared" the fugly felon in Butler, PA.????

I guess God also healed the devastating ear boo boo, too.

[MineralMan]

31. So, who is the guy in the video? Does he have a name?

I don't recognize him at all. Sounds like some rando to me.

[Evolve Dammit]

32. Huckabee's divine exhortation. Yeah that sounds right. Last person who had his ear right? Insanity. n/t

[littlemissmartypants]

44. You can bet...

Huck's got all kinds of ulterior motives. Did his pitiful daughter ever get her FEMA money?

[Evolve Dammit]

76. Probably an exception made.

[StarryNite]

34. Meidas Touch reports...

NEWS: Trump has requested that the National Security Council be prepared in the situation room for his return, per Fox

[surfered]

36. Huckabee is one of the supporters of Israel only because Scripture tells him Israel must exist for the Second coming.

After that, he doesn’t give shit what happens to the Jews

[Ping Tung]

38. Sacrilege! He doesn't recognize Trump's Second Coming to office??

[erronis]

39. Oh, yes - he does care what happens to the Jews after xians take over. And it ain't nice.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

55. I doubt his motives

have anything to do with "scripture" or the "second coming."

[patphil]

45. That's all we need, having a religious zealot encourage a meglomaniac to believe he's on a divine mission from God.

A lot of bad shit could be going down soon.
I agree that Trump may be the most consequential president in US history, but for all the wrong reasons.
And Huckabee is telling him that he is being guided by God. Next we'll be hearing more of that Trump is Jesus reincarnated BS.
My answer to that is to ask when did the Son of God go over to the dark side and align himself with Satan?
Trump is a loveless, self-absorbed, casually cruel monster.

[orangecrush]

52. Some holy ass kissing

[NoMoreRepugs]

46. Huckster struggling to remain relevant, Trump has no control over what comes out of his mouth - he just wants to sound

like what he imagines a tough guy sounds like - he has ZERO ability to think strategically about what spews out. Assassinating the Shia Supreme leader puts 200million followers against 10million Israel citizens.

[Ray Bruns]

51. Trump was right. He said if I voted for Kamala Harris there would be WWIII and here we are.

[Happy Hoosier]

54. We call it Tuesday. NT

[Beastly Boy]

80. Rec for a Raul Julia fan!

[bluestarone]

58. I did not look at the video, but just saying, i expect EVERY decision from these two leaders will

lead to very bad for every human being in this world. NOTHING these two do will surprise me. Be ready is all i can say.

[ancianita]

59. Huckabee is full of pride and bullshit. Trump doesn't know shit about the Bible, and neither does Huckabee know

God's will. This is not the time for Trump to listen to self-deceived christians.

Jesus: "See to it that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, "I am He,' and "The time is near." Do not follow them. " Luke 21:8

[dflprincess]

63. Isn't Huckabee one of those nuts that think there has to be a nuclear war in the mideast

So Jesus can make his return?

[ancianita]

65. Could be. But I couldn't care less. Jesus himself said we'll know when He returns.

Even as nations rise against nations there will be no warnings or signs.
God decides, and no humans whatsoever can "bring about" any "end times," especially not some half-wit power worshipping christian advisers who don't even read their Bible.

[dflprincess]

67. Whether you believe it or not isn't the issue

It's having people who do believe that end times crap running things that is concerning.

[ancianita]

72. True.

If one believes there is a loving God (and at least 3.66 billion do) reading 2,000 year old scripture as the Word of that God does matter, however. IF what's concerning is having people who do believe end times crap running things, then the only people who will get hurt will be the people who follow the people running things. The large majority of the U.S. will witness a lot of ugliness, refuse to fear or go along with it and, when their common decency decides, they'll do what it takes to rid themselves of this poison. How that unfolds we don't know yet, it might or might not be all that dramatic, and it might take the next year or two, but you can be sure the People of sanity and decency outnumber those "running things." They just showed themselves on Saturday, and they who showed up have millions more who are in their corner and we'll have to trust them to act in the interests of liberty and justice for all. Reality doesn't have an audience; it's neither episodic nor a movie. So even as narratives get spread as "news," what matters is that humans -- Americans -- act on each other's behalf and not as puppets of fearmongers and mammon/power worshippers.

[Whiskeytide]

73. Except that 65 million Iranians, most of ...

… whom are not terrorists, might be dead. Along with most of the Jews in Israel. That’s the problem with putting End Timers in power. They may not be able to actually bring about the end times biblically. But they can cause a lot of damage trying to do so.

I get what you’re saying, and you’re technically right. But whether they read their bibles or not is beside the point when they have access to the button.

[ancianita]

74. Do you know for a fact that 65 millions who chose their Ayatollah are not willing to die as martyrs according to their

belief system? There will be wars and rumors of wars, yes, but those who believe end times crap cannot bring on the apocalypse even as they do cause a lot of human damage. Those who follow warmongers will suffer and probably die, yes. That is what happens when human depravity destroys in the name of some god.
And we've known for a long time that everything the felon touches dies. He's the kiss of death, but his access to the death button is pretty complicated and hard to get military permissions for, and our US military and most humans in and outside America know this.

[Whiskeytide]

78. I'm not a biblical scholar, nor do I have seminary or ...

… madrasa training. So I can’t comment on what the islamic or any other religion might be willing to anoint with the concept of a martyr.

But I would prefer that millions of deaths not be attributed to my nation’s agency. That is abhorrent to me. And the issue of whether they can or cannot accomplish their stated goal of bringing about the apocalypse, or whether or not they have correctly interpreted the Bible, is irrelevant.

[ancianita]

82. Understood. I've taught World Lit to seniors, attended seminars at the U of Chicago's Islamic Center, read

the officially approved Q'uran sold in the West, and can tell you that they do believe in martyrdom in the name of their Allah.

Whether you think they have some stated goal and whether or not you think it's relevant isn't really up to any of us anyway.

Totally get that we don't want to be the agents of Iranians' deaths. Or of Israelis' deaths. And we won't be. It's not our war. Yes, Israel is our ally, and we will support it, because we and the British helped establish Israel before it declared itself a nation state in 1948. The British Empire made several things happen before WWII and the Holocaust:

-- The Balfour Declaration (1917) was a statement by the British government that expressed support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine. It was their millennial home for thousands of years before the US and Europe ever existed.
-- The British Mandate for Palestine: Following the Treaty of Sèvres, the League of Nations granted control of Palestine to the British, with the goal of implementing the Balfour Declaration.
-- After the Allies won WWII, the UN Partition Plan (Resolution 181) passed in 1947 by the United Nations General Assembly, recommended the partition of Palestine into two independent states, one Arab and one Jewish, with Jerusalem under international administration.
This plan was accepted by the Jewish leadership, but rejected by Arab states.
-- Then, the British Mandate ended on May 14, 1948, leading to the Israeli Declaration of Independence (in Tel Aviv) as a nation state, and the subsequent 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

Whether you think it's relevant or not, there's no biblical basis for these RW apocalypse yearnings, either, because the Bible -- which I've read, studied at university level, and taught in Sunday school in two different denominations -- says no such thing.
This narrative that these self deceived christians tell themselves is just the latest iteration of a couple hundred times that christian hotheads have proclaimed "end times." No one at the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem thinks this, either. It's all bullshit.

But one thing is historically true: Israel deserves to exist in its millennial homeland and has been fighting off those who would destroy it from the days of the Roman Empire to the days of Islamic-Arab state attacks in the 20th Century.

[GiqueCee]

60. Huckabee...

... that overweight worm, should slither back into the cesspool that spawned him. Sanctimonious über-christians wrap themselves in the blood-soaked cloak of faux religiosity to justify spewing such witless, fawning drivel in hopes of gaining favor with, hands down and going away, the WORST president to which this nation has ever been subjected.
But there is no reasoning with the room-temperature IQs to whom that message is directed. I mean, shit! Most of those people believe the Earth is flat and only 6,000 years old, and they're so dirt stupid that they couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were on the heel! Which is why Trumpleforeskin so loves the poorly educated; talk tough, and give 'em someone they can look down on, and they'll believe anything you tell 'em. There's a blithering idiot born every minute.

[ultralite001]

62. "Not since Truman in 1945"...

WTF???!!!



From the Truman Library:

After President Roosevelt died on April 12th, 1945, it became Harry Truman’s job to decide how to end the war. He learned of the Manhattan Project, the secret scientific effort to create an atomic bomb, upon becoming president.

After a successful test of the weapon, Truman issued the Potsdam Declaration demanding unconditional surrender of the Japanese government, warning of “prompt + utter destruction.”

Eleven days later, on August 6, 1945, having received no reply from the Japanese government, an American bomber, the Enola Gay, left Tinian Island en route to Japan. In the belly of the bomber was “Little Boy,” an atomic bomb. At 8:15 am Hiroshima time, “Little Boy” was dropped, resulting in approximately 80,000 deaths in just the first few minutes. Thousands died later from radiation sickness.

On August 9, 1945, another bomber was en route to Japan, heading for Nagasaki with “Fat Man,” another atomic bomb. After the first minute of dropping “Fat Man,” 39,000 men, women + children were killed + 25,000 more were injured.

Both cities were leveled from the bombs + this, in turn, forced Japan to surrender to the United States. The war was finally over.

Is this Krasnov's playbook??? When will he declare war??? Will he think an Executive Order will suffice???

[orangecrush]

83. Yes that's it exactly

Religious kookery dictating policy

[Mossfern]

66. I know this is no laughing matter, but

This comes to mind when I hear Trump telling Iran to surrender.




I just picture him with a long nose with a wart, a floppy pointed hat riding a decrepit broomstick.
Someone needs to make an AI image of this.

on edit: Anyone have a bucket of water handy?

[orangecrush]

69. ...

[Amishman]

81. Going to firmly disagree, this is a broken clock moment

Iran is being depleted and defanged.

Politically they are in disarray.

Time to push them over, hopefully we get a better government in Tehran and an independent Kurdistan.

This is a golden opportunity.
