THIS JUST IN! TRUST IS EARNED!

BULLY BOY PRESS CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S MEGA DUB -- THE KOOL AID TABLE    



DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT?

HE'S IN TROUBLE ALREADY FOR LYING.

HE LIED ABOUT WHERE HE WORKED.  HE LIED ABOUT BEING JEWISH.  HE LIED ABOUT HIS EDUCATION.  HE LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING -- INCLUDING THE 'OUT' GAY MAN FORGETTING TO REVEAL HE WAS RECENTLY MARRIED TO A WOMAN (DIVORCED 2019).  

BUT NOW WE ARE SUPPOSED TO TAKE HIS WORDS THAT IF 142000 PEOPLE ASK HIM TO RESIGN, HE WILL ACTUALLY DO IT?


GEORGE, WE WERE BORN AT NIGHT, BUT IT WASN'T LAST NIGHT!


FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Okay, now we're going over to Iraq.  There's an issue that we've been ignoring -- my choice to do so.  We'll go into why in a minute.  AL-MONITOR reports:

Iraq has not apologized to Iran after several Iranian parliamentarians slammed Iraq for using the term "Arabian Gulf" as it hosted the 25th Gulf Cup in Basra and asked for an apology.

Alireza Salimi, a member of the Board of Directors of the Iranian Parliament, attacked Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Al-Sudani and the leader of Sadrist Movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, for what he termed a hostile action.

“I advise the Iraqi prime minister and Muqtada al-Sadr to apologize and stop these kinds of contentious actions that are against the interests of the two nations and create disputes between the two nations,” Salimi said according to Iranian media reports. 

Observers and experts, however, said Iraq has so far ignored the complaints because it does not want to become embroiled in a diplomatic dispute with Iran, especially as Baghdad is playing a key role in achieving rapprochement between regional countries, most notably Saudi Arabia and Iran. 

While Baghdad has not officially commented on the “Arabian Gulf” dispute, the Sadrist movement, led by influential cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, rejected Tehran’s summoning of the Iraqi envoy. 

Leading member of the movement, Issam Hussein said on Wednesday that Tehran is not justified in summoning the envoy. 

Moreover, he noted that the move gives Iran’s supporters in Iraq the “green light” to criticize the naming of the tournament. 

He remarked that Iran is “greatly bothered” by the rapprochement between the Iraqi and Gulf people. 

It fears that this rapprochement could develop into an increase in tourism and later development in economic and investment, he added. 


First, as a US citizen, I don't have an opinion on which of the two names Iraq chooses to use for the competition.  Second, I'm not Condi Rice. 

The US government has too often seen Iraq and Iran as twins or as potential twins.  They are neighboring countries.  As we have noted for years now, they will have many disagreements -- and have had many disagreements.  They may act together but they will also act in opposition.

Condi Rice, whenever things were going the way she wanted between Iran and Iraq (at odds) or at any time (like when Moqtada's influence was ebbing) would insert herself into the process.  It was stupid to begin with because the disagreement then becomes with the US.

We're noting it now to explain to all those e-mailing why we aren't obsessing over this news and to again remind that neighbors will always have frictions.  The two countries are not twins.  They aren't individual nations that share a border and will work together on somethings and not work together on other issues.  When government officials in the US fret over Iraq and Iran it's as though they're still addicted to the domino theory.

The above disagreement is not a US issue.  I don't plan to comment on it and say someone's right and someone's wrong, it's not my business and I don't see how it helps.  If outlets from the region choose to run columns or editorials, we may note those.  But this is something that needs to be between those two counties.  And, if that really makes you butt hurt because -- like Condi -- your goal is to drive a wedge between Iraq and Iran, grasp what Condi never could, a chorus of US voices is just going to turn attention towards the US and make it the target of frustration.  So let it play out for that if you just can't support the notion that we don't need to stick our nose into everything.



I picked the morning paper off the floor
It was full of other people's little wars
Wouldn't they like their peace
Don't we get bored
And we call for the three great stimulants
Of the exhausted ones
Artifice brutality and innocence
Artifice and innocence

THIS JUST IN! JOE COPIES DONALD!

BULLY BOY PRESS CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S MEGA DUB -- THE KOOL AID TABLE    

WHEN PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN LEARNED OF FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HAVING TOP SECRET DOCUMENTS AT HIS HOUSE, JOE DECLARED, "HOW THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN?  HOW ONE -- ANYONE COULD BE THAT IRRESPONSIBLE?  AND I THOUGHT WHAT DATA WAS IN THERE THAT MAY COMPROMISE SOURCES AND METHODS?  BY THAT I MEAN NAMES OF PEOPLE WHO HELPED OR, ET CETERA. . . . TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE."

AND NOW?


THAT FLIP-FLOP IS ON THE OTHER FOOT AS IT'S LEARNED THAT JOE BIDEN MISHANDLED CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS.


THE HIGHLY EMOTIONAL DRAMA QUEEN LARRY TRIBE EXCLAIMS IT'S NOT THE SAME THING!!!

HE'S RIGHT.  DONALD REMOVED PAPERS AS PRESIDENT.  JOE DID SO AS VICE PRESIDENT.  IN NO WORLD DOES DONALD'S ARGUMENT THAT HE HAD THE RIGHT AS PRESIDENT TO DO SO APPLY TO JOE BIDEN.

ALSO, DONALD WAS PRESENT WHERE THE DOCUMENTS WERE.  JOE LEFT IN AN ABANDONDED OFFICE.


WHEN REACHED FOR COMMENT, JOE BIDEN TOLD THESE REPORTERS -- MUST CREDIT  BULLY BOY PRESS CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S MEGA DUB -- THAT IT WAS "NOT THE SAME THING, MAN, I DIDN'T DO THE SAME THING."


RIGHT.  DONALD TRUMP HAD DOCUMENTS FOR LESS THAN TWO YEARS BUT JOE HAD THEM FROM AT LEAST 2016 UNTIL NOVEMBER OF 2022.


"MAN, YOU'RE GIVING ME FACTS.  I DON'T NEED FACTS. WE CHOOSE TRUTH OVER FACTS, MAN.  TRUTH OVER FACTS. WHERE AM I?"


THE OVAL, WE EXPLAINED, HE WAS IN THE OVAL OFFICE.  


"WHAT AM I DOING HEREWHAT A STUPID SON OF A BITCH. THAT POLL SAID THAT 92% OF THE DEOMCRATS SAID THEY'D VOTE FOR ME AGAIN IF I RAN AGAIN." WHERE AM I, MAN?  WHERE AM I?" ASKED JOE BEFORE NODDING OFF IN HIS CHAIR.


REACHED FOR COMMENT VIA HIS PLATFORM 'TRUTH SOCIAL,' FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP 'TRUTH SOCIALED' THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE, "I WAS RAIDED!  RAIDED!  BECAUSE I'M HUGE!  AND I WAS FIRST! I WAS THE FIRST ONE CAUGHT! COME TO 'TRUTH SOCIAL,' WE DON'T HAVE CHARACTER LIMITS! OR ANY KIND OF LIMITS! LOCK JOE UP! LOCK JOE UP! LOCK JOE UP!"


WE AGREE WITH RYAN GRIM, "THEY CAN SHARE A CELL AND THE DEAL IS IT ALL GETS FILMED AND TURNED INTO A REALITY SHOW."
