As I said on the show today, the word to watch is ‘obliterated’. It’s his ‘alternative fact’ (aka bare-faced lie) & the acolytes are programmed to repeat it until it becomes the accepted but still utterly false narrrative. Most media still can’t process the completeness of the corruption.
They make me sick
Is that the Scottish narrrative?
There was even a "two weeks" in there. It's grim listening.
Obliterated - so he's got no reason to strike them again because he'll hit nothing.... The nothing that intelligence said they they had after he pulled out of the deal Obama implemented a deal that was working in good faith. And petty Trump wants them to negotiate a 'better deal' by bombing them🙄
Fundamentally a culture of lying, top to bottom. And they don’t have to “go to court and lose” for the press to see how utterly impeached they are. It’s like they’re waiting for a verdict from an imaginary impartial arbitrator.
Nicely put.
I saw someone refer to her as Bullshit Barbie. Once I saw it I couldn't unthink it.
One of your callers said it’s all about the US arms industry. Starmer buys loads of jets from US. NATO saved.
The only thing obliterated is the truth.
There is some truth in that, yes. However, Katherine Leavitt and many of the same lot have a track record of being propagandists for Trump's operation. Interesting that they deride the media, but are more or less in the same orbit. "The flies may change, but the **** remains the same"
I would say that there is something afoot with the media, right-wing establishment and academia, they certainly seem to wish to dominate such and it goes way back pre-trump. Also as it happens there is a religious connection too, make of that as you will. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Ham...
If it is all "obliterated" how is he going to explain those sites being bombed again in the near future?
I got 2nd hand embarrassment today listening to the rerun of Starmer gifting Trumpet the state visit. Can someone explain to me the worst case scenario if we stood up to him and challenged him on the absolute lies and chaos that he is presiding over. I'd like us to be on the right side of history.
Now Trump has to double down on his lies, yet again, this time in front of the world's media at NATO. Boy oh boy, what an embarrassing display. Attacking Spain and threatening tariffs (Spain is in the EU, any threats on them is on the whole EU), attacking journalists, just a mess as we all expected.
James, the second I read "obliterated" I laughed. It's Hollywood guff. I saw the pictures of the 20 trucks queuing to remove the materials from the bunker. I've seen Oppenheimer, I know how big the Atomic Bomb was, not that big. It was pretty obvious everything was long gone before the US attack.
It is clear now there is no room for hyperbole in the Oval Office. A deft President, and there has been many, plays everything down. That way you never have to backtrack and the glory will follow. Trump is a dope.
Most media are part of the corruption and have contributed to todays situation.
I believe the Netanyahu government to the same degree as the Trump government. Which is to say, not at all.
Amazing that Maga apparatchiks are able to see through mountains and ‘rubble’ but can’t see through the patent nonsense their ‘leader’ utters in an irregular and inconsistent fashion.
I do recall he said the place was covered in concrete dust. Technically he obliterated the original view of the hill... Cambridge online dictionary backs him up, its as if he planted the definition.
He is a liar, but you ain’t exactly pure white
No one in the media is, or any politician.. liars the lot
James O’Bliterated… I’m surprised Trump can spell it to be fair
Easy: I T I'll get my coat
Evening 😂
Tardes Or is it noches where you are already? 😬
i think if you say buenos senor/ senorita, is a universal time thing and you need not say noches or tardes........but what the fuck do i know
Buenas is pretty much acceptable at all times of the day except nighttime
buenas noches is a finality at anywhere past 10pm to about 3am ......if i remember..... but you are there.......AND YOU KNOW
There are a lot of things not acceptable at nighttime.
lots
I know Stuzi makes everything a bit humorous. I was returning the favour
Que no cunda el pánico
i REMEMBERED that . cos was in spain a lot as a kid ..... on forced holidays. i know so little spanish its tadpole level
Actually it's really quite serious I'm wondering if the 'Obliterated' bit might just turn a few more against him because frankly it is so bloody off the scale hypocritical and manipulative at the same time In fact I will refer to him as 'Donnie the Obliterated' in future
The only thing getting obliterated is Pete Hegseth
1984.
See also: ‘genocide’ on the left
Goebbels tactic Say it once, say it twice keep saying it and then it's the truth Doesn't matter a fig whether or not the facts say otherwise When are people really going to wake up to this, especially the MSM? Money talks though. That's the problem
Surely Iran has said "Trump did an amazing job, obliterated our bunkers so no need for any more bombing".
The man child tells a porky the media repeat it. The porky is then exposed but the man child can no longer accept the truth because it makes him look stupid so he continues with his lie and the media follow for the same reason.
youtu.be/QereR0CViMY?...
The claim/lie is counterproductive. Trump and Israel can no longer justify further interference in Iran's nuclear program now that they claim it has been "obliterated ". This will allow Iran to continue its nuclear ambitions unhindered. Dangerous times.
It also has serious security implications - the CIA etc now has an incentive to cover up and self-censor any information that contradicts this narrative. Meaning that if the Iranian nuke programme survived they now have the space to continue. bsky.app/profile/ianf...

He's lied his way out of any justification for another attack though. Won't stop him.
This just makes me more suspicious of the media & how it works. The same can be said when just before the US election the left leaning media all announced , in unison Trump was a ‘fascist’.
It stinks on both sides. Why can’t journalists think of their own words rather than rely on PR firms and cheat sheets.
Perhaps it’s just the ‘bots’, they’re everywhere. I’m off X and maybe I need to leave here as well. Just coordinated media politics. Sad really.
"Obliterated" it's a great word. It's an old fashioned word. It means to make things explosion. The US military used to be very good at explosion, but not so much anymore after all the other guys but I'm going to be bringing that back again.
Nearly fell off my chair when Hesgeth started rambling about "Leakers".
Yeah, DonOld bought some cheap nappies.
This reminds of the day after Corbyn was elected leader of the Labour Party and one by one, tories appeared on the usual TV shows using the term 'a threat to national security'. That was embarrassing enough but this is unhinged.
The eejits will only realise how Trump’s definition of ‘obliterated’ is not in tune with the currently defined dictionary definition when Iran defies Trump’s fantasy wet dreams of world dominance and announces it has a nuclear weapon!
Trump: "The sky is pink with yellow polka dots." Leavitt: "The president says that's what the sky looks like and I agree with him." Fox: "The Dems will lie and tell you the sky is blue!" Spectator: "In many ways Trump is correct with his polka dot sky theory."
BBC If there are solar flares from another dimension, Trump's sky could be true and should be named after him
Would be interesting contrast. How much military aid Isreal has received compared to Ukraine.
Perhaps the most important thing illuminated, Trump’s abuse of power and abuses power. Yet again criticising in others what they actually do.
The only thing trump is obliterating is USofA democracy.
Everything Trump touches becomes "completely obliterated" in the end.
They could try to process the corruption a little harder. Making so many excuses for Trump. So disappointed that Scaramucci is acting like a Trump fan boy again.
The media jumped on the big, beautiful bill bandwagon immediately
I'm just surprised Trump knows a word with so many syllables...
Trump is a convicted felon and sexual abuser of women. Nothing, absolutely nothing that he does or says is OK. That he is able to be POTUS, representing the USA at NATO and G7 is behind baffling, it’s insanity. He is a criminal.
Behind = beyond
😏
The most terrifying thing is he is doing all that as the most powerful man in the world. And he’s using all that in search of a Nobel Peace Prize. Every day that he doesn’t get talked about in relation to receiving one, he becomes more frustrated. As the MPMITW.
Completely agree. Which is why we should continue to say what he is.
For sure.It should never be ignored.
Here’s the disclaimer! bsky.app/profile/ande...
One of his predecessors said "Mission Accomplished." Another example of a US President stretching the truth beyond breaking point.
Obliterate deez nuts you fraud
I found the "2 weeks" thing fascinating. It's a Goldilocks space of time. Very short, & long enough. "When are you going on holiday!" "Only 2 more weeks!" "How long are you away for?" "2 whole weeks!" Short enough to feel imminent. Long enough to be irrelevant. Possibly his max info. retention span.
The American President has obliterated his credibility.
Genius
My reply is somewhat unrelated to your comment but I wanted to flag a video for you. I hear you mention normalcy bias somewhat often. Wanted to share this with you cause I think it does a good job mitigating the harm normalcy bias can inflict when thinking of the US. youtu.be/83mtXbwPNkc?...
So, no need for Iran to be inspected for many years then?
Is it me , or in the day’s leading up to Israel’s attack upon Iran , did not Trump’s language inflame the situation . It’s almost as if the scenario was contrived to allow Trump to appear the great peacemaker . He wants the Nobel Peace prize . He cheats at golf .He lie’s , he contrive’s .
