Well, this doesn't exactly reassure me. You?

Tammy Bruce, state department spokesperson is giving a press conference to inform the American people about the dangerous situation with Iran. Here are her comments:
"We live in a fascinating, exciting time where we've got a man who can make the difference, and he's generous about making that difference. He could've chosen to have his term be about anything other than peace and making America great again...all of us are grateful."

There is was a lot more of this kind of drivel. Nothing but it only matters what trump thinks and I don't have any actual facts to give you.

Scary, scary stuff.

Making a difference by attacking the Constitution and the rule of law isn't exactly what I think we want in a president.
I'm certainly not grateful, and I am also certain that a majority of Americans aren't either.
Now we have Trump essentially encouraging Israel to go further in their war with Iran.
But then, I guess peace is whatever you want it to be in the world of Trump.

On this day in 1984, a Saturday, President Ronald Reagan was getting ready for his weekly 9 a.m. live broadcast, to be aired on this occasion from his ranch, Rancho del Cielo, near Santa Barbara, California. Reagan, a former on-air commentator, was asked by the “pool” National Public Radio engineers to make a pre-broadcast mic check. He obliged, declaring, “My fellow Americans, I’m pleased to tell you today that I’ve signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.”

News of his flippant remark soon leaked to the media, turning what Reagan believed to be a harmless private quip into an international embarrassment, precipitating dismay among America’s allies and providing fodder for Soviet propaganda mills.

Trump is having a yellow cake moment because the only way he can move forward is to wag the dog and push us into a war.

His text to TSF is basically saying that TSF must become who he was chosen to be by God. I don't have the link, sorry but heard it on Midas
