How do you think FD's going to feel, Carl? He just had his hopes pinned on a new US invasion.

You've gotta have a dream, no?

Was Trump lying?

However, Iran's Fars news agency said after Trump's post that
there was no direct communication with the U.S. or through intermediaries.

Thanks, Bobby. You've finally just said it.

Good show. DL's called the Iran War off, and you've just finally confessed.

It wasn't hard, now was it?

Now we can all get some sleep.

Kinda reminds me of this from last year:

Trump told investors to 'buy' on social media hours before his tariff pause rose stocks, raising questions about manipulation

Quote:

NEW YORK (AP) — When Donald Trump offered some financial advice Wednesday morning, stocks were wavering between gains and losses.

But that was about to change.

"THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT," he wrote on his social media platform Truth Social at 9:37 a.m.

Quote:

Less than four hours later, Trump announced a 90-day pause on nearly all his tariffs. Stocks soared on the news, closing up 9.5% by the end of trading. The market, measured by the S&P 500, gained back about $4 trillion, or 70%, of the value it had lost over the previous four trading days.

The only difference here is we'll probably soon be seeing "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO SELL!!! DJT," on Truth Social.

And, yes - it looks like Trump was lying, Bobby.

Trump ALWAYS lies.

"TACO Trump"

Iran Calls BS on TACO Trump’s Peace Talks Claim

Quote:

Iran officials have contradicted Donald Trump’s claim of “productive” talks with the regime and suggested his decision to postpone strikes on Iranian power plants was a sign of a panicking president.

Quote:

“There is no direct or indirect contact with Trump. He retreated after hearing that our targets would be all power plants in West Asia,” the source said.

The Iranian Embassy in Kabul also stated on X, “After the Islamic Republic threatened that in the event of any American attack on Iran’s energy infrastructure, the energy infrastructure of the entire region would be targeted, Trump backed down and said he had issued an order to postpone the attack.”

Quote:

When pressed about Iran’s contradicting claims, Trump also gave a novel reason: that it’s hard to get information from Iran because the U.S. is blowing up so much of its infrastructure.

“They’re going to have to get themselves better public relations people,” he added.

“We have a very serious chance of making a deal,” he said.

“I think if I were betting, man, I’d bet for it. But again, I’m not guaranteeing anything. They want to make a deal very badly.”

Bear in mind, leftards, one of Iran's strikes on a gas plant in Bahrain cost $20 bil this year alone - another $20 bil next year if it's not back up.

The White House and Pentagon are currently freaking out. Iran warned them this would happen, DL called their bluff, and this is what you get.

The US has approved every bomb Israel dropped. This entire war is being faught by computer with deliberate strikes from all sides.

DL isn't."accidentally" crashing the global economy, he's shorting it. All of Iran's strikes are a response to DL's attacks, wiping billions off publicly-traded securities.

Iran now holds the economy of the entire world in its hands. The Mullahs will be calling in share orders to their friends in London, you can guarantee it.

They've gone from being a pariah state to holding Uncle over a barrel.

Ever get the feeling you've been ploughed?

Trump really is the gift that keeps on giving, just not in the way his supporters imagined.

This was an open-book exercise. The warnings weren't subtle, they were explicit, repeated, and grounded in observable policy positions tied to things like Project 2025 and the track record of Donald Trump himself. Yet instead of engaging with that reality, his supporters dismissed it as hysteria, because it was politically convenient to do so.

Now the consequences are beginning to materialise, economic instability, geopolitical escalation, and policy settings that were entirely predictable if you were paying even a minimal level of attention. And if you weren't, or chose not to be, you don't get to dodge the fallout now that it's hitting wallets and livelihoods. Crashing markets and cost-of-living blowouts don't care about political loyalty, they are directly tied to the decisions that were made and cheered on.

And suddenly the same people who mocked those warnings are acting surprised, or worse, pretending this was unavoidable.

No, it wasn't unavoidable. It was chosen.

And that's the part that sticks in the throat, the rest of us, including those well outside the United States, are now exposed to the fallout of decisions we didn't make, driven by voters who were repeatedly told exactly what would happen and chose to ignore it anyway.

You don't get to wave this away as bad luck or unforeseeable complexity. This is the direct result of political choices, made in full view of the evidence, and defended with a level of blind loyalty that bordered on wilful ignorance.

If people are angry, they've earned that right. What they shouldn't be expected to do is pretend this came out of nowhere, or that those who sounded the alarm were somehow the problem.

Not at all, dear. Bobby has finally fessed up.

Our equine friend has bolted.

Baron, Lee, the old boy - melted into sludge.

JaSin's consistent. His algorithm hasn't shifted. His Moscow data server is pumping out the usual dross, sourced from Aussie aphorisms, real estate prices, TV guides and other AI-farmed content.

RIGGED WITCH HUNT !!!
