Trump doesn’t get to make the final call.

Not that anyone in congress is going to stop him.

“Towing the line” is a reasonable error to make but “toeing the line” is the expression.

Congress should be stopping the Venezuela mass murders, but here we fucking are.

Congress’ job is to distract people from how they’re being robbed by their rulers.

“He is spending a lot of time thinking about this,” one source said.

I mean it sounds like all the pieces are in place. So WTF is Trump waiting for?

You think that an ass that doesn’t care about the nitty gritty just the spectacle would just get on with it, not like things will be different if the strike happens this weekend or tonight

Either way, letting them know we’re about to strike is stupid, so of course that’s why he can’t keep his trap shut about it.

The end of the Winter Olympics, can’t be fighting that for ratings.

Separately, Israel’s public broadcaster KAN said that the Security Cabinet meeting scheduled for Thursday to discuss developments in Iran has been rescheduled for Sunday, without providing any additional details.

Ahh but a Strike would have been Breaking News. As in “we interrupt your current broadcast.”level

Almost time to drag out the banner again.
