A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.
--Donald J. Trump, April 7, 2026
He really has become a 'toon, hasn't he? A mad tyrant or boy genius who got too big for his breeches, essentially the creation of paint, lighting, and gall. If we can see through the pathetic affectation of his pose, surely the Iranians can. And are laughing.
Also probably wondering, "Would he really do it?" -- along with some of the rest of us! It might occur to us that this time he boxed himself in so tight, delivering such dire ultimatums that can't be retracted without the great risk of looking like ... well, a 'toon.
If he does tonight what he promised this morning, it will be the end of him. The people of the United States are not going to tolerate it, finally -- Trump's final solution -- and the world will rise up in horror and condemnation. Arrest warrants from the World Court. That kind of thing. Talk about being boxed in! But he was never going to follow through on the threat. The threat was as empty as he is.
Another possibility -- and quite an attractive one for Trump, because he's a cold-blooded liar -- would be to claim some concession from the Iranians, whether one exists or not, and forestall hell on earth through some fiction that at least sounds plausible. Even MAGA true believers might heave a sigh of relief, while the liberals will all be slapping their knees and chortling "TACO!"
And finally, the remote possibility that the Iranians actually cave, because they haven't seen enough Hollywood endings.

HoneyPie, the next rung in the Escalation is the nuclear rung.
Two weeks until Furio invades the massage parlor with a weighted
bat. Didn't you see Bibi flash the sign? They still expect to steal
Home. Or is Shohei Ohtani not a gambler?
Iran, using a human shields strategy, has pulled off the equivalent of Gandhi's
1930 Salt March, this day, April 8, 2026.
Now it remains to be seen if the USA can restrain Israel in their Sampson Option, the suicidal use of nuclear weapons. It is difficult to see how the
Trump Fascist Regime can maintain social control and solvency.
They cannot surpass this incompetence or surprise anyone any more.
If Humanity survives China has won. That would not be a bad outcome.
NBC, ABC and the PBS Newshour uniformly reported (I boycott SeeBS)
that the CeaseFire is still holding Thursday evening. (an obvious lie) Meanwhile Melania
repented her sins and is washed White in the blood of the silent lambs.
Hannibal Lecter seeks a 4th term. He demands his half of the $2million
per ship toll. C3PO arrives with a Camilla in his lapel April 27th (a Monday) to validate Jared Kushner's Regency over Trump's George III type infirmity.
I can see why Watauga Watch is stumped. For instance last night I was listening to Lawrence Wilkerson (former Colin Powell aide) commenting on the
Iran war. And he said there were fakes of him on Youtube giving very plausible and intelligent lectures, and that he had complained and could not get them taken down. Toons can get us killed, and lately there seem to be no responsible
parties in leadership. Mindless extermination of the public in Lebanon (what we know of it) seems very much something that could happen here before long.
Balderdash and bullshit! the ceasefire is still on for a few more days. No nukes are in the offing, despite your wet dream fantasies.
And y'all told everyone that Trump would round up gueers and put them in camps, and there would be train carloads of illegals being deported, and we would be able to hunt Democrats with dogs.
None of that happened.
A lot of muslim extremists have been killed, and good riddance.
Senator Pansy Graham, were do you find the time?
Ah, making fun of queers now? How liberal of you.
But for all your caterwauling, Trump is not fulfilling your dystopian dreams.
Border is closed. Venezuela is sending us oil, not drugs. Pedophiles, murders and rapists are being deported. We are achieving technical miracles, Starlink, SpaceX, Artemis II.
Your just mad you're not getting your way with the country.
But take hope, it'll all fall apart when Trump leaves office.
You've emigrated to Plato's Cave. Thanks for self-deporting, or teleporting. Most people can see Trump playing with his own little Country (Cunty, as he pronounces it) on a bedspread. How's that Arch coming?
Meanwhile, I'm wondering what's delaying both Jesus and Jerry.
Take heart!!!
Trump will bring back insane asylums!
You will finally not be a threat to yourself or others.
Iran is done. It is like a snake writhing after its head has been cut off.
Cuba is next.
A fair peace deal is the only possibility to save us from a fatal fall.
Trumpsters prefer working without a net.
This is understood globally.
Only a few demented worshippers of Sadism deny the truth.
Reality is being presented as a compelling fantasy.
The world is turning, hope it don't turn away.
War criminals must be punished.
