Jeffrey Lord wrote:Donald Trump is the Martin Luther King Jr. of Healthcare

Said on CNN, because they're all just characters in a drama. The fact that CNN keeps putting up these shitbirds is ridiculous.

CNN has to just stop, but they can't quit. I think their rating are the best they've been in years, but they are sort of like the MTV swap from Music to Reality, where there is less new making way for 'breaking new' soundbites from reality TV players. It is sad, but then again so is thinking that television is the best place to get your news.

I shouldn't find any DJT quotes risible any more, but US-Russian relations being "the worst they've ever been" makes me wonder if he ever actually existed prior to 1980.

Do we even need to unpack the ramifications of the latest Syrian friendly-fire fuckup Team Mattis has burdened itself with, relative to establishing that whateverthehell we're NOW doing with respect to Syria is somehow a MORE sensible "policy" than whateverthehell we HAD been doing?

I mean how about we duct-tape Lindsey Graham and a bunch of eager-beaver drumpf-normalizing media talking heads to whatever batch of unfired Tomahawks are laying around waiting to be fired off, and just fire them the fuck off. It's not like we're waiting for drumpf to emit some new explanation for whateverthehell we're doing there anymore, we KNOW he has no fucking clue

Reports that the US dropped a GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB AKA Mother of All Bombs) on an ISIS training camp in Afghanistan. Whatever was there should be erased at this point.

Update: The latest report says that it was dropped on a cave complex which is odd because, like the Vietnam era "Daisy Cutter", it is not a penetrating weapon. It should have leveled whatever soft targets were on the surface. Maybe it was actually a Massive Ordnance Perpetrator, AKA Bunker Buster, but then again I have little knowledge about the actual effect, just what I read previously when these were used in Iraq, and the threat to use the Busters in Iran.

Apparently it is the largest non nuclear bomb we have. Umm?

thought that was weird, too. if you're going for caves then i'm not sure this would be the guy. but maybe they're just low lying tunnels. i'm sure this thing puts a crater in anything, just not 100 feet deep.

or TRUMP just thought it sounded cool so we should use it

I wondered if it is a Fuel Air Explosive. I think the daisy cutter was. A FAE basically disburses a column of fuel impregnated with additives to make it more effective, but on the ground it consumes a good bit of the oxygen available.

Then news cycles have gotten around to wondering what the deal is using the MOAB.

** I took a look and there are 3 things with the FAE

1. Apparently the name is Thermobaric
2. A usage is identified as cave clearing
3. Assad apparently like to use these as part of his horror campaign

MIT TechReview: Russian Disinformation Technology Russia’s reinvention of war exploits old techniques for a new century. Open-source citizen investigators are fighting back.

I found that article very interesting and informative.

I'm hearing Trump was at Subway grabbing some lunch with Jared and Ivanka and they were discussing what to do about ISIS. This, of course, is not unusual because discussing classified information in public is one of those pesky shackles this Administration has cast aside. Also, as you know, they are not keen on developing policy with the input of experts.

Anyway, they were talking about how to take the fight to ISIS and Jared suggested firing 59 Tomahawk missiles at ISIS. Trump dismissed the idea as "so last week" and instead suggested that they drop big, beautiful bombs on ISIS. In fact, he said, we should drop "the mother of all bombs" on them. Ivanka excused herself (i) because she realized that it was Noon and time for her midday wardrobe change and (ii) to call the Pentagon to order the strike.

>>> Hello Pentagon, this is Ivanka. My Dad said we should drop the mother of all bombs on those ISIS people. Do we have anything like that? Fantastic. So go ahead a drop a bunch of those on them, mmkay? Gotta run.

She returned to the table and they are shared a big, beautiful chocolate chip cookie.

where is brian williams to tell me how beautiful this bomb was and the best technique for sensually touching myself to such picturesque images

hold on to your butts

TRUMP: We're talking about surveillance. It was wiretapped in quotes. "The New York Times" said the word wiretapped in the headline of the first edition. Then they took it out of there fast when they realized. But I put wiretapped in quotes, meaning, because, look, wiretapping is an old-fashioned...

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: — there are too many wires anymore, right?

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: You don't have a lot of wires. Look at this room. This room used to have a lot of wires. Now it doesn't have so many wires.

TRUMP: I was sitting at the table. We had finished dinner. We're now having dessert. And we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen and President Xi was enjoying it. And I was given the message from the generals that the ships are locked and loaded, what do you do? And we made a determination to do it, so the missiles were on the way. And I said, Mr. President, let me explain something to you. This was during dessert. We've just fired 59 missiles, all of which hit, by the way, unbelievable, from, you know, hundreds of miles away, all of which hit, amazing.

BARTIROMO: Unmanned? Brilliant.

TRUMP: It's so incredible. It's brilliant. It's genius. Our technology, our equipment, is better than anybody by a factor of five. I mean look, we have, in terms of technology, nobody can even come close to competing. Now we're going to start getting it, because, you know, the military has been cut back and depleted so badly by the past administration and by the war in Iraq, which was another disaster. So what happens is I said we've just launched 59 missiles heading to Iraq and I wanted you to know this. And he was eating his cake. And he was silent.

BARTIROMO: (INAUDIBLE) to Syria?

TRUMP: Yes. Heading toward Syria.

Well, it is possible.

Exit Eisenhower building
Walk south on F

About 2 blocks.
