By Alon Ben-Meir, published 9/4/2026Trump’s address to the nation on the Iran war was intended to project control and resolve. Instead, it revealed indecision and disarray, marked by contradictions, self praise, and shifting objectives.

I reckon you have perfectly nailed the issues firmly on the head there Alon.
Personally I'm sure Donny's brain has turned to mush from sitting up late at night, slurping on Pepsi, stuffing cheeseburgers down his face while watching too many Mafia movies. His delusion convinces him that he is a real "Don" of the world. Posted by Aries54, Thursday, 9 April 2026 10:58:02 AM

Society makes progress because a majority of people have minds configured to be constructive and supportive of each other.
Unfortunately, there are those whose brains are configured to work with different priorities. Such as in Mr Trump's case. However, he is not a liar or something else unpleasant. He firmly believes he is right, so he is not telling lies. He is simply wrong, but doesn't know it, Also unfortunately, with such a different outlook, he can cause great harm to those around him. But the wider population there selected him as President. So it is those same persons who must eventually deselect him. Posted by Ipso Fatso, Thursday, 9 April 2026 12:38:08 PM

Or they can wait for his term as president to run out.
Should they wait that long? There are legal ways to effect his removal before then. Whatever happens, he has definitely caused a stir. And I suppose there must be some good in that. Posted by Ipso Fatso, Thursday, 9 April 2026 12:49:54 PM

Hi Ipso Fatso,
"However, he is not a liar or something else unpleasant. He firmly believes he is right, so he is not telling lies. He is simply wrong, but doesn't know it" Who are you referring to? Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mussolini, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, Donald Trump, etc That fits them all. Posted by Paul1405, Thursday, 9 April 2026 4:35:41 PM

How many kids is 'too many'?
When do we say enough is enough? http://x.com/MaucourantNada/status/2042017513727259123 Hussein Saleh lost 8 members of his family in an Israeli strike on their home, including his pregnant wife. He found the head of his young daughter amid the rubble. “When I picked up her head, everything changed. Something in my heart broke and went silent.” Posted by Armchair Critic, Friday, 10 April 2026 2:42:17 AM
