Aside from a few salient points (Trump is an idiot and Iran is playing him for a fool, which most savvy foreign leaders do quite easily) this WSJ agitator is trying to goad tRump into further attacks against Iran. He's pushing our Dear Leader to continue the war, to look for violence and perhaps towiden the US involvement in Middle Eastern affairs. Fuck that and fuck him. Yes, it's amusing to see someone try to humiliate Donnie Bonespurs publicly and watch the immediate reactionary bluster from Tel-a-Viv-a-Lago, but we do not need anymore of this bullshit in The Gulf.

Call your representatives. Demand they invoke the 25th amendment or Article 2 Section 4 of the US Constitution. Demand they remove an obviously demented and incompetent President from office.
We should also be demanding that US troops are withdrawn from the strait of Hormuz and that we work with our non-Israeli allies to reach a multilateral agreement with the government of Iran to reopen the strait and guarantee everyone's security. Removing Donald is necessary to stop things from getting even worse but just doing that alone and allowing the other idiots in DC to go back to business as usual isn't going to clean up this mess he created.
Nobody said that was the only step. Don't be daft.
The rest of this will get fixed (as much as it can be considered "fixed") after November, when the impeachments start. Everybody with a handful of neurons to rub together knows that. Steve Bannon's been chirping about how they're all going to prison after November for months now.
Between then and now is damage control. Starting with getting the pedo out of the White House.
Iran's going to be a problem for years to come. There's very little we can do about it now. We can stop the aggression. We can't force the strait open. That's up to the Iranians. And they've been spending recent weeks dragging neighboring countries into this mess. So, now nearly the entire middle east is involved. When we pull our folks out, we cannot guarantee what happens next. Israel seems fairly intent on continuing to pursue their goals in the region with or without us.
Plus, now China's playing games in the South Pacific in response to threats from PedoTUS and there's recent information that Russia's entire military effort in Ukraine is propped up by China as well. Iran, similarly, is propped up by Russian and Chinese munitions. This entire fiasco in the strait is part of a much, much bigger US-China conflict that we'll be dealing with for quite a while.
The global balance of power has irrevocably shifted.
Congress can’t invoke the 25th, that’s for the Cabinet or the President himself. Congress only steps in if the Cabinet declares the President is unable to preform his duties and the President contests the decision.
Yeah, congress can impeach and convict though which would also remove him
Not true. In addition to the Cabinet, the 25th Amendment also provides for Congress to appoint a committee to do this in cooperation with the Vice President, and this process was started by Rep. Jamie Raskin on April 14.
Here's the actual text of the relevant section of the 25th from Wikipedia:
Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments [the Cabinet] or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Does this come off as playing Trump like a fiddle to anyone else?
The guy is so insecure.
He's the easiest guy in the World to manipulate. He's vulnerable to even the most insincere flattery. Likewise, you can make him blow up and make terrible decisions with a casual insult. He's an adult toddler.
Definitely. I wish people took advantage of it for good and not to push shitty things like more war. As much Joe Rogan sucks, he just used Trump's massive unpopularity right now to get him to legalize Ibogaine.
There is no creature on this earth you can manipulate easier than a room temperature iq narcissist.
I'd laugh if people he rants out at just replied with U MAD BRO? memes instead of even addressing any of the supposed points he typed out with those baby hands. Preferably using Obama, Biden, Kamala, and Hillary, LOL.

I mean the reality is neither Trump nor Netanyahu is trustworthy enough to do a deal with. Look at how Trump blew up his own trade deal with Canada. Netanyahu has never entered a ceasefire he hasn't immediately blown up.
You're looking at the two floppiest pieces of shit to ever lead countries and if you want to end the Trump-Netanyahu-Iran war you have to remove those two fuckwits from office.
Putin will testify that Trump is definitely a sucker.
He's angry about the WSJ reporting it, not about being an actual worldwide-renowned sucker.
Well I mean, we will have to ask Bubba for sure. We know he's a blower, but is he a sucker too? Not sure.
