The President of the United States Just Publicly Went Out Like a Bitch. And That’s Fine by Us.

[TheCount]

Starting almost 30 minutes late for his press conference, President Trump—surrounded by a bevy of white men (literally everyone behind him made up the evolution of white men)—appeared to use the strategy officially called “bubble guts,” softening his tone against Iran, which was vastly different than the Twitter tone he had a few days ago.

The president finally addressed Iran’s Tuesday night attacks on Iraqi bases that housed U.S. soldiers on Wednesday morning because he was watching Vanderpump Rules and he couldn’t be disturbed.

When the president finally spoke, he did three moves that I used to do when asked in elementary school why I didn’t have a girlfriend: lie, deflect, and then stand down but kick it like I’m not standing down.

From the president’s perspective, it looked like this: This is all Obama’s fault (lie). This wouldn’t be an issue if Obama would have handled it (deflect) and, We’ve got some big guns but be thankful that I believe in peace...Oh, and Obama.

The president completely bitched out. In fact, before the president stepped to the podium, Managing Editor Genetta Adams called it, noting that the president ain’t about that life.

“He’s going to pussy out like he did with [Speaker of the House] Nancy Pelosi and the [government] shutdown. He’s really a chicken when someone punches back.”

She was right and we’re both fine with the potential outcome.

None of this would be a thing if the president didn’t talk tough on Twitter. President Trump is basically a WWE wrestler who believes his storyline even when he’s not onscreen. He’s the businessman who’s businesses were given to him by his father. He’s a president whose election will always be noted with a Russian asterisk and he’s a Twitter tough guy who finger-thugs online only to punk out when pressed.

This could’ve been catastrophic. The strikes came less than a week after a U.S. airstrike killed Iranian Major Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

The most important point of the president’s ramblings was that no Americans were killed in Tuesday’s bombings. The president believes this was intentional and it doesn’t matter to me as long as more people didn’t die behind his bull$#@!. What would be amazing now, would be if the president stopped talking like he “keeps that fire on him” and starts acting like the bitch that he is.

There is nothing wrong with that, especially if it keeps America out of a war we don’t belong in.

Posting an article criticizing the POTUS for not going to war? Sounds about right for you, and the left, Count.

"Look at him. He didn't go to war. He's such a bitch."

The Orangatang pulled a Drunken Monkey and Zigged when everyone thought he would Zag. So sorry to disappoint you.

Some of us told them he would zig but they aren't about to admit we were right and they were wrong.

[Grandmastersexsay]

Just when I thought the pro Trump crowd couldn't get any worse by claiming Soleimani was a CIA asset and it is all 4D chess, now we have the anti Trumpers showing them up by wanting us to go to war, so they can complain about Trump getting us in a war.

When the president finally spoke, he did three moves that I used to do when asked in elementary school why I didn’t have a girlfriend...

I don't think this guy had a girlfriend in elementary school because he was 18 at the time. I'm still not sure they should have passed him.

$#@!ing war mongers.

[Krugminator2]

Linking to The Root is like linking to Stormfront. Who cares what a bunch of black supremacist, grievance hustlers have to say?

Instead of saying "Thank you President Trump for exercising restraint. We were wrong." They turn a positive into a negative because they are losers, who need to be perpetually outraged

Whew, you didn't even bother reading to the end of the title.

But you still managed to write three sentences about it.

Keep it up, I guess?

Easy there, tea leaf reader. I don't think any of us peons really knows what is going to happen or even currently happening.

Escalation was happening.

I appreciate Iran not actually hitting a US base filled with our sons and daughters.

I appreciate Trump not retaliating against Iran's missile strikes.

I'm so glad people are not dying today. I want to say thank you to all parties who have played a part in keeping the peace.

Terrible article, why share this TheCount?

His offering an olive branch after killing an Iranian which is something NeoCons wanted from day 1 of Trumps admin. Yeah Good luck with that. The West attacked the Serbs for killing an austrian and Hungarian empire ruler who ruled over the Ballakns "Serbs evil starting WW1"


"America kills an Iranian general and claim did it for preventing war but America good Iran bad lol?" you expect the world to believe you after what happened with the Iraqi war?

The neocons wanted war with Iran and want to keep our troops in the ME because they say we need to have a presence there for stability--I say send them! The democrats don't want our troops out of Syria, Afghanistan or Iraq either. Go figure.

You Americans are losing a war in Afghanistan. Two things will happen either Americans will withdrawn or will come back home in body bags. I am only predicting these things from what has being happening.

You Americans always do start wars for sure! but you never do finish them nor win them.

No one is saying is that nonsense expect for the Saudis and Israel have being crying wolf about Iran since the 70s.

I am sure if we started a war with Canada we would win very quickly.

President Trump is trying to get our troops out of those places and he is met with resistance on both sides of the isle just like I stated above. I have no problem with leaving any of these places, our troops need to be home to defend our borders, and the way Trudeau is handling Canada, I think we'll have to protect our northern borders too.

If you remember, it has been the neocons like George W. Bush, et; al. who were in bed with the house of Saud. President Trump has been dealt a pretty $#@!ty hand, and these things didn't happened overnight, so it may take him another four more years to get a handle on it. I personally, do not think we have to protect any other country but our own.

If military contractors made more money if wars were won, instead of going on for ever, we'd never lose.

If that was true why did Trump just listen to Sen lindsey graham and other NeoCons by simply moving the American forces to Kurdish areas in Northen Syria where the oil fields were? that is really not withdrawing.

If you haven't noticed Trump has placed more NeoCons and some from the American century then GW Bush will ever be.

If you Americans withdraw from the middle east and secure your own borders with those forces those human traffickers wouldn't dare smuggle a criminal or a migrant into America so easily as they do now.

The national border guards are nothing.

If Ron Paul was president the troops would have been home 2.5 years ago. And I am pretty sure Trump is a stronger leader than Ron Paul. Reagan pulled us out of Lebanon despite the howls of the neocons without even blinking.

So those people insisting that Trump is trying super hard but just has to play politics with the lives of our troops in the meantime have zero credibility.

[Pauls' Revere]

$#@!ing war mongers.

The leftwing of the Neo-Con bird.

Proof the left is NOT anti-war, any more than the right is.

If you truly believe that Ron Paul would have been able to withdraw troops from the ME, you're dreaming. Although it is a nice dream, it is still dreaming.

Reagan did not immediately pull our troops out of Beirut. He was dealing with the Military Industrial complex and had George H. W. Bush as Veep.

U.S. President Ronald Reagan called the attack a "despicable act"[73] and pledged to keep a military force in Lebanon. U.S. Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, who had privately advised the administration against stationing U.S. Marines in Lebanon,[74] said there would be no change in the U.S.'s Lebanon policy.

In general I don't support President Donald.

But to me it always sounds like a good move to have less war mongering in the Middle East.

Now if only the genocide against Yemen stops...
Is it all a diversion strategy to hide that more than a 1000 Yemeni kids die every week from starvation, while gullible fools follow all of the "interesting" news on Iran, Syria, North Korea and Venezuela?!?

That is when you can tell if someone is just partisan team cheering rather than having a guiding set of moral principles. When they regret that someone didn't fail by failing to create chaos or ruining others lives.

According to you people, Trump cannot withdraw troops but at the same time, he can make matters "worse" for himself by increasing troops and then killing deep state CIA agents?

That makes no sense

[pcosmar]

Because He was a Clown before he ever ran for office.. The campaign was a circus devoid of principles..
And the Democrats Elected him,,because they couldn't stand Hillary. Some "R"s held there nose and voted for him,,many did not.

And The war against Iran Predates Trump,,and instead of ENDING it,, he has joined the Provocation.
and is playing the Clown in a very dangerous game.

The eventual result of human stupidity is recorded already,,
Watching it happen is somewhat unpleasant.

The problem with Reagan he already pushed and gave what NeoCons a organization which funds and starts up protest movements and NED was their answer.

Oh yeah, I am not defending all of his foreign policy shenanigans by any stretch. But people were pissed when he pulled out, and Ron Paul and his brand of libertarians consider it an example of how to truly be a boss.

[enhanced_deficit]

Referring to a sitting POTUS as 'bitch' crosses the line, no matter if it is done by theroot or Tulsi Gabbard or some angry Republican who feels betrayed now. There is increasing use of 'drunkard monkey' also, that should also be avoided.
Let's take a deep breath and encourage civil discourse of ideas and respectful dialog.

Anyone else notice the slurring during his statement yesterday? I know he's the healthiest person ever elected as President but he didn't sound well yesterday.
