Well damn.. The illusion is shattered... I really thought your first name was Bill.

If I legally changed my name, I would likely opt for Bill Fankboner.

And, yes, I'm serious.

With your use of "ole hoss," I mentally pictured Hoss Cartwright when I read this.

Dan Blocker did a stellar job on Bonanza.

It's a Texas thing.

Regarding US military action in Iran:
....
The mixed signals are sparking whiplash among America’s partners in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, according to eight diplomats from these regions, all granted anonymity to speak about sensitive diplomacy.

Their economies are suffering from what Trump has called an “excursion”—in some cases they are hurting more than the U.S. economy. And they’re frustrated that Trump and his aides aren’t clueing them in on their plans for ending the crisis.

“I have no idea what they are trying to do,” an Asian diplomat said, referring to U.S. objectives toward Iran and the confusing messaging from the White House about the possible next stage in the conflict.
....
While Trump has spoken frequently about his plans for Iran, some allies are beginning to tune him out.

“Moving all those assets to the Gulf just to call them back—if a deal is actually struck—is a pretty expensive move,” a second Asian diplomat said. “I’m looking at what the U.S. is actually doing rather than what POTUS is saying on Truth Social.”
....
Iranian officials have little trust in the United States, especially considering that they were engaged in talks with Washington both times that Trump launched attacks on the country, said Ali Vaez, a senior analyst....

Tehran is worried that Trump is using diplomacy as a cover for more strikes. If Trump “was serious about de-escalation, he’d delay the deployments,” Vaez said.

Politico talking points have been distributed. Leftists will parrot whether they make sense or not……

Yesterday Leftists were saying Trump was lying. That Iran wasn’t negotiating.

“Iran's foreign minister says the country is not currently negotiating with the US to end the war and "does not intend" to do so.”

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly9nz5vyz4o

This morning Iran, and their allies in the Democrat Party, are claiming Trump is continuing to attack even though they are negotiating.

Which is it?

In case you need more proof that liberals are truly insane, this thread is it.

I didn't actually need more proof, but you're right.

Time for them to grow up and pay their own way.

Way past that time!

Donald Trump does not think strategically. Nor does he think historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. He does not think about how his behavior in one place will change the behavior of other people in other places.

He does not consider the wider implications of his decisions. He does not take responsibility when these decisions go wrong. Instead, he acts on whim and impulse, and when he changes his mind—when he feels new whims and new impulses—he simply lies about whatever he said or did before.

It’s what he does. Watch.

Have you ever heard of the term "crazy like a Fox"?

My wife told me something years ago after we got married when I was questioning some things I could not put together about a guy we knew.

She simply said "sometimes things are not as they appear"

To this day I have never forgotten her saying this

Iranians, them along the side the Russians, are the biggest LIARS on the planet and you quote they have trust issues.



Whoever wrote this has an IQ less than a shoe box.



Its hard to fathom just how insanely ignorant those on the left have become.

Chances are slim and to none that common sense even exists in the Progressive leftists world. And slim was last seen boarding a bus out of town.

You were going to devote an entire chapter to me? I'm flattered.

It was 2 pages, c’mon.

The arbitrary and incoherent character of Trump’s chaos machine has opened a credibility gap even Fox News has noticed.

On the topic of the Iran conflict: ‘Few expect the swift conclusion Trump predicted. Only 13% believe it will be over in a matter of weeks, while 37% expect it to last months, and 15% anticipate a full year. Some 35% think the end is more than a year away.’
