The Philosophy Discussion Forum

I expect I've missed a lot of discussion about this, perhaps in other threads, but I'll post this here.

I have the impression that having signed the surrender document, Trump is now backing away from the whole Iran fiasco and telling Vance to salvage whatever he can in the followup negotiations in Switzerland. Trump still can't resist opening his stupid mouth from time to time, and making random threats, but on the whole, it's down to Vance now.

I think this is probably an improvement. Although I have very little time for Vance, at least he MIGHT have some idea of how to negotiate, whereas Mister Art-of-the-Deal clearly has none. Of course, Vance has been dealt a very weak hand.

It is quite astonishing that a country as militarily powerful as America should put itself in a position where it can be thoroughly humiliated by a wobbly and unpopular regime such as that of Iran, while simultaneously renewing the regime's leadership and entrenching them more firmly in power. Trump always claimed to be a genius, and I suppose it does take a special kind of genius to screw up in such a comprehensive fashion.

Ah yes, more "necrotizing karma" headed towards America to hasten its collapse.

According to Google's AI Assistant...

According to Iranian state media and local officials, the death toll from the strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab on February 28, 2026, has risen to 165 people....While the exact number of schoolgirls among the dead has not been independently verified, reports indicate the majority of victims were female students between the ages of 7 and 12.

Never wonder why America is circling the drain.

Great, all that will accomplish is stoking the Iranian people against the US, clamoring for their government to procure nukes. Negotiations are probably now impossible. Trump is a worthless piece of shit. The jackass should be tarred and feathered and run out of D.C. f*** Trump!!

"Tarred and feathered"!? "Tarred and feathered"!!?? "TARRED AND FEATHERED"!!!???

How about DRAWN AND QUARTERED?

At least that’s what one of those crazy, over-the-top TDSer’s (not us) might suggest, while probably picturing the Budweiser Clydesdales being involved.

I’m guessing that Jesus himself might approve of that particular method of dealing with his arch-nemesis --> President ANTICHRIST.

Indeed, one of those crazy TDSer’s (no one on this forum, of course) might even think of the vast amount of money that could be raised for charity if the drawing and quartering were done in the largest stadium on the planet and sold as a world-wide (live streaming) Pay-Per-View event.

Furthermore, another one of those hopelessly deranged T syndromers (again, no one that we know of) might think that perhaps all of the 18 and above adults on Earth...

(of which there is estimated to be approximately 5,810,000,000)

...might be willing to pay at least a hundred bucks* each to watch the Antichrist get what’s coming to him.

*(Indeed, T himself would be insulted if the ticket price was anything less than that, not to mention him expecting that the in-person stadium seating should fetch thousands of $s per unit.)

Let’s of course keep in mind that several million of President Antichrist’s staunch worshipers and minions would probably not buy a ticket, in which case, to be fair, I guess we should reduce that number down to 5,500,000,000.

Now,...

(and not counting the revenue from the in-person stadium seating and subsequent merch sales)

...if we multiply 5,500,000,000 Pay-Per-View tickets - times - $100.00...

(wait, let me take off my socks so that I can do my Jethro Bodine method of ciphering)

...good lord, man!!!...that’s more than HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS that can be spent on helping homeless people, or any number of other hate-motivated humanitarian projects.

Anyway, ^^^that’s^^^ probably what one of those pathologically deranged T haters (again, no one we know) might suggest in place of your measly “tar and feather - run him out of D.C.” pat on the wrist nonsense.

Hey, come to think of it,...

(and to make even more money for those hate-based humanitarian programs)

...one of those (not us) T haters might even suggest that after the Budweiser Clydesdales have done their thing in the stadium arena, the haters could then sell millions of (gold and silver) wrist bands with “WWTD” written on them to T's now rudderless minions,...

...all in order to take advantage of a sure-fire, money-making opportunity.

My goodness, you cannot get any more T than that, right?

But alas, who am I kidding?

There's still plenty more children for T and Net-n-yahoo to murder before this nightmare has concluded.

( Someone throw a blanket over me and make me stop, for I could not keep from envisioning the endless stream of AI generated "T resurrection" videos that the minions will think are real )
