Cheeto’s “Weapons of Mass Destruction”

The Orange Cheeto with his Nazi sycophants in the cabinet used the pretense that the Iranians had enough enriched uranium to make a bomb negating his own national intelligence that it was not the case Cheeto has claimed that this was the “final blow” to such a program but one Iranian observer has said that this will only deter Iranians for a year until the program will be back and running

Now the international geiger counters used by agencies to detect any emitted radiation that would be released from the bombing of the radioactive sites have detected nothing So it appears that the ruse that Cheeto made that the bombing strike would take out enriched uranium and suggests that it was a Bush “weapons of mass destruction” fantasy that satisfied no one but Netanyahu who has been saying for decades that an “Iranian nuclear bomb” was just around the corner Perhaps the enriched uranium had already been moved but we will never know

So Cheeto was stupid enough to buy what Netanyahu was selling…prior presidents have been dismissive but Cheeto was dumb enough to take the bait And now Iranian sleeper cells within the US could be activated as Iran

The "fallacy of the last move" is a strategic error where someone believes their final action will decisively settle a conflict or achieve a desired outcome, often overlooking the potential for counter-reactions or further escalation from the other side. It assumes that the last move in a sequence of actions is the only one that matters, ignoring the possibility of an ongoing process with unpredictable consequences.

Excellent point....in reality part of Cheeto's move was to distract everyone from his terror war on immigrants and citizens and his terrible budget bill

I am worried about that. If that happens I am pushing my son and son-in-law into Canada or I will break both their legs. I also have a step son and step son in law that I will tell them to go to Canada. I have family there.

Here's a thought - would they take me a 66 year old with 2 spinal fusions, bad back, osteoporosis and depression? Man, what I could do to them.

Finally! Been waiting to read anywhere what I've been thinking.

rRump is expert at using distraction... he has proven again and again. But now he needs to distract the biggest fuck-yous of his entire life, to complete his ascension to ruling his feifdom...

Plus the destraction he has chosen is also the next step to "legally" send occuping forces to every liberal city, take action against the people his A-I data collection systems identify as posting, airing, publicly commenting - declaring any facts or opinions contrary to the preferred narratives.

War!

The plans of tRump's backers and cult including Putin and Netanyahu and who else, where?

The thing is, they AP already reported that intelligence officials apparently had some advanced warning of impending attack on Iran nuclear facilities, & evacuated the people there, & moved the *already enriched* uranium to who knows where. So all this did, was set them back a bit via destroying their tech to enrich *MORE* uranium. The workers still exist, the uranium is still there...

The thing that worries me, is on two separate occasions that I know of-there may be more?-that WC-135 'nuke sniffer' aircrafts were deployed to fly over Iran after 2 of the 4 most recent earthquakes with epicenters in Iran. These earthquakes varied in strength from 4.2-5.1 between June 17-20th, 2025, which coincides with the attempt to test a warhead that is up to 5 megatons, that North Korea tested in the past. I haven't had the chance to dig any deeper, but what this tells me, is that our intelligence KNOWS they quite possibly already have nuclear capabilities, or at least are able to at any time. And, if they were tests on nuclear warheads, that means this was a test on one already assembled, of MANY stockpiled somewhere. I haven't seen the results from the flights of the nuke sniffers, but I doubt highly that 'Cheeto/Cheato/Chito' or any other member of the high ranking republican cabinet would tell the general public of the USA the results anyway. So, what did this attack do? Nothing, but put a target on the backs the country, our beloved, brave, underappreciated, undervalued, & often mistreated 40,000 troops stationed in the middle-east, as well as our allies. Its widely known, that Russia backs Iran, & North Korea/China backs Russia. So it is VERY reasonable to think that our strike on Iran just awoke a trio of 'sleeping giants' that want nothing more than to destroy our country/culture/government. Two of them have leaders that I would classify as mentally unstable, & quite possibly sociopathic, if not psychopathic too. And those are the types you have to handle with great care, not brute force. They could, & would launch their entire nuclear arsenal at the USA without blinking, if it meant nothing more than to eliminate our existence, even if they suffered the fallout alongside us. We are but 'a fly in the ointment' to some of the most powerful men/countries on this planet, & we just pissed them off. I don't know about a lot of you, but I'm looking for the nearest fallout shelters to my home, & prepping a 'go-bag' for this imminent threat. I hope & pray I'm wrong...best wishes to you all, & stay safe everyone 🙏 ❤️

This is about well thought out as some of trump's logic. I can definitely see the troops refusing to fire on American citizens, but they don't know the circumstances of national situations when they are ordered to fire on other nations. Of course a lot of us are feeling anger and frustration at Israel and American leaders. But this is mostly on trump and maga. There are a ton of Americans trying to right this catastrophe and get back to an organized law and order society, and action is absolutely called for. But fucking our country is not helping. We need individuals who are balanced and logical to take action-as opposed to just talking-but cussing everyone out doesn't really do anything constructive (except relieve some of your anger, which is understandable). Take a deep breath, walk around the block or rant to people who share your feelings-we all understand the anger and frustration. and are cognizant of all the people who are suffering and dying because of trump and his minions doing such unthinkable harm, but we all need to stick together and work to take action in constructive ways. (Read my comment a few minutes ago and suggest your best ideas).

As I always point out and everyone except MAGA people know Treasonous Traitor Trump is exactly that a Traitor. He does not care about what’s best for the American people. He just cares about himself. He wants everyone to agree with him and if you don’t then you’re a liar and wrong. Not to mention he is certifiably insane. You can’t fake or argue with crazy. No mater how hard you try. Trump is a pathological liar, gaslighting narcissist, convicted criminal felon, rapist, sexual assaulter, and The President Of The United States Of America 🇺🇸. Let that sink again again. Trump needs to be impeached but everyone is afraid of him especially the Republicans in Congress. He has immunity from prosecution granted by the MAGA Supreme Court. What else is he going to do to this Country? Nuclear War is not out of the question for him if he wants a distraction for anything or any reason. Crazy yes he is crazy.

Hakeem didn't hold back????? Sorry, but that's Bullshit! He's been holding back since January 20. Until, after seventy years, I finally left the Democratic Party some time in April because, instead of fighting back every which way they could given ALL their powers and authorities, they were loathe to use them to assert their powers as a coequal branch of the government. All that Schumer, and Jeffries and the changing cast of DNC 'leaders' were focused on was raising money for next elections, which is,. yes, PART of their function but way down the list relative to the duty to protect the Republic. Yeah, I'm pissed. As should we all , , ,

Hendrik Gideonse's avatar

I'm totally mystified. ActBlue is also implicated because the pleas for money from them are so consistently grounded on appeals to negative, corrosive emotions and fundamentally and, often, false premises. I spent a lot of time providing unsolicited feedback to the party simply swallowed by it with never a response. When they finally did ask for my response, they patently ignored what I sent; instead they massaged our input when DNC was "planning" next moves, and in doing so showed they had no idea what strategic planning was; they simply tallied our responses into 'categories' they arbitrarily adopted and reported. They treated our input as if they had asked for a poll from us randomly formulated with zero attempt at undertaking a strategic audit of the present situation, i.e, Trump's anti-Republic win. When I received their 'work' five weeks after I responded, I had high hopes.

I spent three days over a weekend, drafting a detailed critique. I have no idea it was received because their procedure for accepting material by e-mail was so arcane, and five political people who I sent backup copies to had similar incomprehensible automatic messaging reception systems; suffice to say that of the five, some highly placed, never even acknowledged getting them. The leadership is simply unresponsive to the working stiffs, despite our experience/background, imagination, or commitment.

Over the weekend, Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled that.Section 70302 of the Big Crappy bill runs afoul of the Byrd Rule and must be taken out of the package to allow it to pass with a simple majority vote on a special procedural fast track.

Essentially, Section 70302 would have made it difficult for federal judges to compel compliance from government employees by holding them in contempt of court for ignoring judicial rulings, especially if no security bond was required when the initial court order was issued.

A GOP attempt to authorize states to conduct immigration enforcement was also deemed irrelevant to the budget.

She also ruled against language in the bill that would increase the Federal Employees Retirement Systems contribution rate for new civil servants if they do not agree to give up civil service protections to become at-will employees.

Additionally, she advised against a section of the bill that would allow the executive branch to reorganize federal government agencies — or eliminate whole agencies — without congressional oversight.

Although I was a young child during the 3 years my eldest brother served in Vietnam, I missed him a lot. I wrote to him regularly.

I met my husband (together since 1978) right after his Army service.

And our eldest son was so excited about learning to run a Nuclear Reactor, & worked so hard to be among the less than 50% who passed the rigorous 2 year Power School program, that I was his cheerleader.

I also felt secure with him serving on a Los Angeles Class submarine.

Their goal is to go undetected when they are on a mission.

And our son truly did see the world.

My Daddy served in WW2.
