General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: 'Trump always chickens out'? NOT THIS TIME..... I don't think we should use that term tonight-- [View all]Jack Valentino
(5,094 posts)which he swore to commit if he didn't get his way---
As far as being mocked and hopefully prosecuted for making the threats in the first place, ALL SYSTEMS GO!
But to call this another 'TACO' is to imply that Trump was
'too weak to commence with committing a genocide'.
In that context, I would hope that every decent human being
would be convicted of being "too weak" or even "chickening out" from commencing a genocide...
(not that I think that Trump is a decent human being!!!)
thus I think that using this particular meme in this ONE instance
is mistaken and wrongheaded, and could imply that we think he SHOULD have
taken out Iran's electricity and infrastructure, which of course we DON'T believe---
Now as far as being like an 'abused spouse' who didn't know
whether to believe Trump's ultimately false threat in this instance,
I plead guilty..... but as I read on another site about spousal abuse,
'maybe the time you don't take it seriously is just before you get killed'!!
I am well aware of all the times that Trump backed down from his many threats---
but he is clearly becoming so demented and mentally deranged that
he could eventually slip off from his own 'playbook'
and actually ORDER 'the thing' to be done which he threatened---
believing in his own lying rhetoric and forgetting that it was supposed to be
just a 'threat'---
and WHO in his hand-picked administration of yes-men/women and sycophants
would be there to tell him "no" ??
Oh well.... I can't stop the avalanche of TACO references now,
although I believe I am right in this ONE particular instance----
HOWEVER, it HAS made me extremely hungry for my home-made tacos,
which I have been planning to make for some time,
and believe to be superior (in my own taste)
to anything available commercially (and less expensive!)
Maybe tomorrow--- in which case it would be 'Taco Thursday' !
