Henry Payne for January 05, 2020

And just out of frame to the left of the wanted poster is another wanted poster with inidivual 1’s portrait that says: “Wanted, Il Douche, for killing America”.

No doubt this brave dude will get him, all by his lonesome. . . What a courageous hombre he is!

There will be retaliations with many possible casualties and of course your big fat hero, the Rump, will have to strike back even harder.

Another lie from Payne. Trump would NEVER be personally involved with ANY conflict, nor would he ever hold a weapon. His brain spurs act up on just the thought of it.

Oh yeh, lets get into another mid-East war, they always turn out so well for the country. Well, maybe except for the TRILLIONS of dollars wasted, that could have been used on infrastructure and health care, and addressing climate change.

Oh well. Do you think Henry realizes he is mirroring going down with the bomb in “Dr. Strangelove”???

Talk about shooting from the gut feeling. Best negotiator EVER. Yeah. I hope we all survive the next 2 years.

Thinking of the ditty, “who shot the sheriff”. Timely, at least the 25th Amendment is overdue.

A thought has occurred to me:

Trump has repeatedly displayed an aggressive distrust of United States Intelligence agencies. WHO planned this operation, and for whose benefit?

Could have just arrested the varmint at the Baghdad Airport… but that wouldn’t have made him a martyr… that would have taken planning…

Curious: Soleimani was assassinated because he was plotting to kill Americans and there was an ‘imminent threat’ for which NO information has been released.

Could it be that he was about to attack an American navy vessel in the Gulf of Tonkin?

.

I mean, Trump and His Disciples would NEVER lie. Would they?

Payne thinks Trump is a big hero for taking this guy out. But even Bush and Bibi would not touch this guy even though he was an easy target. Did Payne ever wonder why? We will soon find out the wisdom of this move.

Projection.

“Our President will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate,” Trump said in a November 2011 video on his YouTube channel.

“He’s weak, and he’s ineffective,” Trump added. “So I believe that he will attack Iran sometime prior to the election, because he thinks that’s the only way he can get elected.”

Speaking on the Sean Hannity radio program in January 2012, Trump predicted “some kind of a war” with Iran prior to that year’s election.

“I say that he starts a war in Iran before the election, which will make it very hard for the Republican to win,” Trump said. “He’ll start a war, you know, lives will be wasted for no reason.”

“I think it’s going to happen sometime prior to the election. There’ll be some kind of a war started,” added Trump.On Fox News’ On the Record in February 2012 Trump said it was “pretty sad” to say, but said Obama would go to war nonetheless.

“I’ve said before, I think Obama will go to war with Iran because I think he views it as good politically,” Trump said.

“That’s pretty sad and it’s a pretty sad thing to have to say, but I think he will absolutely go to war with Iran. I think he views that as a positive from a political standpoint, and I think he’s just waiting for the right moment.”Speaking on the Laura Ingraham Show in April 2012, Trump repeated his prediction. “I happen to think that the president is going to start a war with Iran,” said Trump. “I think it’ll be a short term popular thing to do. And I think he’s going to do that for political reasons.”

Trump looks so much like Major Kong in Dr. Strangelove here!

Meanwhile back at the North Korean ranch Kim is smiling. Distraction works for him too.

Wagging the dog

@kballweg Nose Pickens

I guess the fine print differentiating a US resident and one born in the US kept the trump from seeking revenge when Jamal Ahmad Khashoggi a US resident with three US citizen children was butchered. Was that US contractor an American… resident.. born in the US? just curious about the standards trump uses

Referring to the most corrupt (and stupidly so) president as an officer of the law is quite acceptable sarcasm.

In the name of accuracy, Payne should have made Tiny’s vehicle a golf cart. They are designed to charge up on electricity and charge down the fairway.

If only the Lone Ranger was still around.

Whether taking out these two bad actors was smart depends on the future consequences, and we all know Trump has never been bright enough to understand the consequences of any of his actions and simply reacted emotionally. However, I’m not going to shed any tears over the execution of two villains that caused thousands of deaths.

That was the ending of Dr Strange Love when the right winger rode the missile to his death but he got to start WW III!

Republicans are not only vicious and uncaring, they are proud of it.

“There’s a new Sheriff in town and if you need me, I’ll be on one of my golf courses.”

So now we’re back to being the Policemen of the World? Who knew? I thought that was what the Trumpistas were opposed to…

The barrel of that gun is longer and harder than anything tiny’s got. Heck, so’s the bullet.

Wasn’t this a movie produced by Mel Brooks?

So, snuffing out ISIS doesn’t cut him any slack?

It looks like while Trump took out one guy, he gave Iraq to Iran.

https://www.npr.org/2020/01/05/793746580/iraqi-parliament-votes-to-expel-u-s-troops-from-country-in-wake-of-soleimani-str

“Iraq’s parliament, meeting for an emergency session, voted on Sunday to expel the thousands of American troops stationed in the country, the latest response to a United States drone strike that killed the influential Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

The vote still needs the approval of the Iraqi government, which has permitted a U.S. presence in the country to help combat the Islamic State.

Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi told parliament that Iraq was grateful for the assistance the U.S. has provided in fighting ISIS, but he is now recommending that the 5,200 American troops stationed there permanently leave the country."

This is why you don’t go around assassinating political leaders (and host country military leaders) in other sovereign countries without their permission first. He may have “won” the action, but gave Iran a greater, welcomed, presence in Iraq, It was one of the reasons other countries, including Israel and earlier US presidents didn’t take out Soleimani. The consequences far outweighed the benefits, but Trump doesn’t think. He needed a diversion from his impeachment and reelection problem.

This is a big time comedy of errors!

The sheriff and all his troops just got kicked out of Dodge by the Iraq parliament and they sent a resolution to the UN to condemn the US for violating Iraq’s sovereignty.

May it now be prudent to point out that the Drone program was greatly expanded by Obama; and that, under him, US-Iranian relations were actually becoming more positive, and this killing is yet another step backwards?

So far here’s what killing Soleimani has accomplished, so far:

1. Iraq Parliament voted to expel American troops.

2. Operations against ISIS have been suspended to divert troops to protecting embassies.

3. Iran is further breaking from the JCPOA.

4. Iranian hardliners have been strengthened, not weakened by the loss of one guy.

He Payne in the A__ __! You do understand what a Sheriff is supposed to do in the actual real world, right? Confine yourself to the SWAMP until the Republican disease is cured. Thank You.

Did his bone spurs clear up?

So are you saying if Trump and not Bush was president back in 2001 he’d have used similar actions against those in Saudi Arabia responsible for killing Americans? Oh wait, the Saudis killed an American journalist and Trumpster sided with the Saudis. GTFO with your nonsense.

Gravediggers…man your machines!
