Yeah, saw that. We are going to discover what happens to the economy and country when run by a delusional sociopathic azzhole whose curiosity is satisfied by watching 3 obsequious shills on TeeVee, employed by a Goebbels like right wing crackpot billionaire raised by a bigoted country preacher.

And I also wouldn't be surprised to know this is why he judged it the right time to switch to a new Rouhani v. Trump kayfabe narrative, start a totally new match, have the fans fuggeabout the last one:

US intelligence agencies determine that North Korea is constructing new missiles: report

until campaign time when he can brag about solving both, natch.

In reply to Fox snd Friends, as with

I know you're not even joking, NCD, though I've got to admit I still can't totally assimilate the whole Fox & Friends thing as the reality it is: that we have a president that watches and listens to them and Hannity instead of reading his briefing papers!! I read stuff like the below currently @ The Hill and I think of Salvador Dali and truth be told, I also think couldn't it at least be a more serious Fox news show than the two most cheesiest ones? You've actually pegged it exactly here: it's like no serious pro-Israel anti-Iran hawk think tanker would appear on either show and they'd never book them! That would be waaaay too "intellectual elite" for either show. It would just be some real lowlife stupid rally-round-the-flag kinda crap. Our foreign policy is being fed into the president by a few moronic yahoos catering to the same....and all they have to do to get that is play loyal boot lickers to a narcissist. It's almost like a Moliere play:

Trump schedules meetings based on ‘Fox & Friends’ coverage: report

By Avery Anapol - 07/30/18 07:18 AM EDT

President Trump reportedly schedules last-minute meetings with White House officials based on “whatever he saw on ‘Fox and Friends.’ ”

A former White House official told Politico that the president has “lots of flexibility” in working his schedule around whatever topics interest him, often what is discussed on that morning’s Fox News program.

“He comes down for the day, and whatever he saw on 'Fox and Friends,' he schedules meetings based on that,” the unidentified source told the news outlet. “If it’s Iran, it’s ‘Get John Bolton down here!’ … If he’s seen something on TV or [was] talking to [Fox News host Sean] Hannity the night before, he’s got lots of flexibility to do whatever he wants to do [....]

hah, now here you made me

In reply to Now, if he would only agree

hah, now here you made me think for a minute::could it really be so?...nope because he can't make it a bullshit "art of the deal" transactional show, there's not even the possibility of a plea bargain with the guy, as there would be with most prosecutors. Which also made me think this is why a special prosecutor is so feared, is just a supposed fact finder, is not playing the adversarial game where one side wins and one side loses. No way to fight it except with agitprop, yelling "witch hunt" and "no collusion" over and over. But to win anything doing that you have to convince a majority (of the populace, or of the House) and he couldn't even do that being elected, ironically with the very same shady ops that are being investigated.

In reply to I didn't go looking to

Fox snd Friends, as with Trump, probably can't find the Gulf of Hormuz or Iran on a map, if they don't talk it up we'll likely be safe and avoid war.

Now, if he would only agree to meet with Mueller wit no conditions, this whole shit show would be over!

Ah, confirmation bias for hunch of mine! that and two cents will getcha...well something is better than nothing:

Prediction: in a year, Trump has a summit with Rouhani in some neutral city—Dubai?—on which 1,500 journalists will descend, at which point, Trump and his supporters will claim that he averted war with Iran. https://t.co/NOp1LnlEG7

In reply to Trump Close to Ordering Bombing of Iran Nuke Labs

This "breaking" news starting to sound like, as Basquiat & co. used to put it: SAMO. It's basically kayfabe learned from Trump's wrassling days: make a beast strawman and then be the heeeero who goes and soothes the beast? (Maeillo, if you're reading this, amiright?)

Trump Says Would Meet Iranian Leaders 'Anytime With No Preconditions'

'I believe in meetings. I would meet with Iran if they wanted to meet'

Edit to add: Would not be surprised in the least if the leaker(s) to Australian ABC were pro-Trump sources.
