President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the U.S. would extend its ceasefire with Iran that was due to expire tomorrow, at the request of Pakistani authorities, despite having threatened hours earlier that, ‘I expect to bombing’ when asked if he’d agree to such an extension.

I don’t want to imply that this dude is a “chicken” for not having murdered people…

But this Taco Tuesday thing is still pretty funny.

Dude always escalates 2/3 steps at once, then takes 1/2 steps back…so TACO is always funny, but never fixes anything, it’s just him getting bored.

PS: I’m tired of the 24h-monothematic tramp clown show, though, it is actually not funny anymore…at least since 2020.

0.66 steps forward and then 0.5 steps backwards is still making progress. I think donny boy is more making 0.33 forward and 0.5 back

no, 2-3…ok…no…“two” to or “three” steps. {2,3}

The funniest thing is that his reversals or compromises almost always seem to happen on Tuesdays. And the “Trump always chickens it” things must be bothering him (I think he expressed his frustration about that saying a few weeks ago?).

It’s such a strong coincidence at this point. Makes me wonder if someone in his inner circle is steering him into these decisions in Tuesdays for the lolz.

ETA: Or as someone else pointed out, this is pure market manipulation, and it’s more convenient for those involved to do this on a regular weekly schedule. That’s the more logical explanation for sure. But I think my theory is more amusing.

I prefer old school taco Tuesdays… the ones that give me wild flaming ass Wednesdays… can we have those back please?

Greek yogurt and vanilla bourbon…the fat sort of absorbs the spiciness in the stomach/intestine…but I guess it varies from person to person :p

What was that old Bangles song, “Just Another TACO Tuesday”….

We really should rename Taco Tuesday to Market Manipulation Day.

For your next protests or whatever you guys call them over there, bringing some hundreds of taco trucks in Washington would probably send a nice message… Just a thought

Protesting that we didn’t resume bombing is stupid as fuck

Give ICE an excuse to round everyone up as “suspected illegals” and ship them to Angola?

Shit don’t do it then damn! You guys have no chill! Keep dancing then. Is that still ok? Maybe ask before you do it

Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works on 22 Apr 23:54 collapse

I think it would be great but yeah, ICE ironically has no chill and behaves as irrationally as their Führer. And with the Supremes in his pocket there’s not much recourse

I love when a murderous traitor gets the ‘cutesy’ treatment for their behavior. “Did you see ole DON as a TACO IN A TACO TRUCK SELLING TACOS? Oooh we gottem and definitely aren’t softening his public image.”

Trump didn’t annihilate Iran for no reason whatsoever? What a coward!!

Trump is evil shit, but he’s no Stalin. He’s a self-interested cunt with dementia and no regard for consequences aside from how he’s directly affected in the short term. Put someone like that in charge, well… play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

That’s part of the problem. The public can rally against a figure like Hitler, easy. It’s harder for the public to comprehend that a fucking moron can be just as evil via the unmoderated stream of their brainrot into public policy. Even harder for some to consider that their brainrot savior is a puppet for smarter, richer people.
