Decent-sized rainstorm coming later tonight, lasting through Saturday — supposedly, next sunshine maybe coming Sunday morning, even then forecast for just a short bright flash, rain returning in the afternoon.
Shit…
And being scared shitless — the T-Rump and option of US military action against Syria’s Assad, a frightful piece of bullshit (Reuters): ‘“I think what happened in Syria is a disgrace to humanity and he’s there, and I guess he’s running things, so something should happen.”‘
T-rump blubbered the above this afternoon while aboard Air Force One — he visited the reporters area and made the announcement. Apparently on his way to meet China’s President Xi Jinping in Florida.
Journalists were then watching the newly-released DVD of ‘Star Wars: Rogue One,’ but no one paused the movie when the shithead waxed serious, irony lost.
Gizmodo this afternoon explained:
We know that they didn’t pause the video because the images of the flight show a variety of Rogue One moments upstaging whatever nonsense was being said.
And there’s clock counting down how much longer the flight is below the video.
…
There’s nothing here about whether or not, after saying that “Something should happen” in Syria, Trump stayed to watch the movie featuring a lead who rediscovers her ideals and takes on a suicide mission to fight a corrupt and evil totalitarian government.
Reportedly from MSNBC just a few minutes ago, announced during the Rachel Maddow program, the ‘something‘ went and ‘happened‘ — a first strike in a terrible fight:
Two U.S. warships in the Mediterranean Sea fired at least 50 Tomahawk missiles intended for a single target — Ash Sha’irat in Homs province in western Syria, the officials said.
That’s the airfield from which the United States believes the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad fired the banned weapons.
There was no immediate word on casualties.
U.S. officials told NBC News that people were not targeted and that aircraft and infrastructure at the site, including the runway, were hit.
We’ll know later tonight how this shit really plays — will Putin get pissed?
Syria was just one of the pieces of shit sticking in the T-Rump maw while he dines/wines at his Mar-a-Lago resort, one being the dangerous, weird situation with North Korea — via UPI yesterday:
Ahead of the meeting, Trump said North Korea was his responsibility while suggesting earlier administrations mishandled the issue.
“That’s going to be my responsibility, but I will tell you that that responsibility could have been made a lot easier if it was handled years ago,” Trump said.
On the upcoming summit with Xi, the president said he looks forward to a “great meeting.”
“I’m sure we’re going to have a fantastic meeting and we’re going to talk about a lot of things, including, of course, North Korea, a problem, and that’s really a humanity problem,” Trump said.
Humanity is a throwaway word with this shithead. One ugly indicator came from an audio released by ISIS a couple of days ago:
The ISIS statement calls the United States “bankrupt” and says: “the sign of your elimination are now clearer to everyone, as the most clear of signs is that you are now ruled by a stupid idiot who does not know what Sham and Iraq are, or what Islam is, who continues to express his hatred and war against.”
Other translations of the statement replaced “stupid idiot” with “riff raff” or “harebrained”
Scary, dangerous with such in command…
