Can't even tell if he's just sticking to the "this was a victory even though everything is worse" narrative or if the dementia has him believing it.

It was a huge victory for the people with inside information that knew exactly when to pump and dump the stock market

He has also surrounded himself with yes men. I'm sure the dementia keeps him from questioning whatever bullshit they feed him.

So another big "L" for the U.S.?

We need to reload before mid-terms.

What do you mean? Reload what?

Trump is so hard for an attack on a U.S. city. I 100% believe he will bomb a city during the mid-terms. Either false flag or straight up Tulsa our ass.

Lemmy also believed that would happen during his first term, and the world was gonna end. Yet, here we are.

You only have to be right once. I hope I'm never right about that.

Rest easy, you won't be.

I thought it's been pretty obvious that he wanted/expected Iran to be quick like Venezuela so that he could hop over to (probably) Cuba. He hasn't really been hiding his intentions.

I don't normally shop at Walmart, but had to the other day to buy a product they stocked. I walked down the toy isle on my way through the store. Walmart has a significant section devoted to children's toys. I remember thinking, they really train us young to be consumers, "Mommy, Daddy, I want one of those!"

Trump has found his new toy. What a nightmare for all of us. :(
