Today in Fascism

It would be a lot funnier if these people were in an asylum instead of government positions of power.

Trump called off his threatened strikes on Iran and says negotiations with Iran have been "productive."

Iran says there have been NO negotiations and their conditions haven't changed, i.e. US out of the Gulf and reparations from the US and Israel.

I'll be honest, at this point, I'm inclined to believe Iran over Trump.

Yes, that's how bad it is.

I actually believe Iran over Trump, and as someone who has some considerable experience in the Middle East I take EVERYTHING Iran says with a very large grain of salt.

But that's where we're at.

Trump lies about everything. Just this week he claimed the families of fallen soldiers killed in Trump's war told him to "finish the job," but the families say they never said that. Trump claimed he'd spoken to a former president who told Trump, man, I wish *I* had started a war in Iran, but again not one of the living former presidents who aren't Trump ever said that, never talked to Trump in fact.

You can't trust anything this demented asshole says. Not one word.

I'd put money on two things happening here: 1) Trump chickened out on his threat to bomb Iran's power plants after Iran promised to retaliate in kind against Gulf state critical infrastructure and a certain Saudi prince called Trump and told him to knock it the hell off, and 2) Trump is deliberately pumping the stock market to enrich his backers and a few days from now will go back to bombing Iranian school children.

And I notice those Navy ships full of Marines haven't turned back.

I agree, especially with the Saudi Prince part.
 
All this news about TSA reminds me of my first airline trip after 9-11. In the departure line in San Diego, my traveling partner (a USN Retired-to-Reserve Captain) and I laughed when they made me take off my shoes to smell them. In Nashville on our return trip, I set my carry-ons down to step back to the TSA line to pick up the boarding pass I had left on the X-ray machine exit belt, only to be accosted by a Tennessee National Guardsman with a rifle crossed over his chest. We didn't laugh right then, but we did laugh at the situation once out of his sight. I observed that TSA had to be staffed on short notice by people who had no jobs better than working for TSA -- sort of how ICE has been staffed more recently.

I have been told that one sure cause of testosterone drop is masturbating with soap in the shower.

(That was published in the USS Enterprise Plan of the Day by the ship's Medical Officer after we had been at sea for many weeks -- or something like that)

I heard something similar about getting a septum piercing, duct taping your dick to your asshole and posting pronouns.
