It’s the oil, dummies! Oops, nope! It’s because we don’t want them to have what we have, a nuclear arsenal. No, Oops again. It’s because of the protests.

The Agent of Chaos can’t make up his mind which reason to use to start a war with Iran. Decisions are so hard to make when deciding who to kill next.

He’s back to the protests for today.

Trump Considering Strikes on Iran to Reignite Protests – antiwar.com

Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed Trump has the ‘preventive defensive option’ to strike Iran

President Donald Trump is considering strikes on Iran, hoping the attack will restart anti-government protests.

Reuters reported on Thursday that Trump was hoping strikes on Iran would reignite the protest movement. Earlier this month, the President was considering striking the Iranian government and security forces in response to the crackdown on demonstrators.

Trump initially asserted he would attack Iran for killing protesters, but decided against strikes because they lacked enough military assets in the Middle East to deliver a decisive blow to the Islamic Republic and protect American forces from retaliatory attack.

The President has since ordered a massive military buildup in the Middle East.

In an effort to justify the major US military buildup in the Middle East, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the US must be prepared for an Iranian strike on American troops in the Middle East. He asserted that President Donald Trump had the right to launch a “preemptive defensive” attack on Iran.

Rubio told Senators that the US needed a large military footprint in the Middle East because “At some point, as a result of something, the Iranian regime decided to strike at our troops in the region,” Rubio said. (read more)

And like me, I’m sure you’re concerned with all the amount of time that Dumpy spends dreaming about the next war or country take-over, that he doesn’t have much time for anything else.

Well, that’s why he sometimes nods off for a spell in meetings…he’s dreaming up new ways to make America great again.

Trump, two sons, Trump Org sue IRS, Treasury for $10 billion over tax records leak – via cnbc.com

President Donald Trump, his two eldest sons, and his family business sued the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Treasury Department over alleged leaks of their confidential tax information, court records showed Thursday.

The plaintiffs seek at least $10 billion in damages, according to the lawsuit in Miami federal court.

The civil complaint alleges that the IRS and Treasury failed in their obligation to prevent the leak of those tax records by former IRS employee Charles “Chaz” Littlejohn in 2019 and 2020.

In addition to Trump, the plaintiffs are his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization, which the sons run.

A spokesman for Trump’s legal team told CNBC in a statement, “The IRS wrongly allowed a rogue, politically-motivated employee to leak private and confidential information about President Trump, his family, and the Trump Organization to the New York Times, ProPublica and other left-wing news outlets, which was then illegally released to millions of people.”

“President Trump continues to hold those who wrong America and Americans accountable,” the spokesman said.

Geez….I wonder who would pay the $10 Billion if he were to win? Surely not the American taxpayer.

“Defendants have caused Plaintiffs reputational and financial harm, public embarrassment, unfairly tarnished their business reputations, portrayed them in a false light, and negatively affected President Trump, and the other Plaintiffs’ public standing,” the lawsuit says.

It’s all but unheard of for a sitting president to sue their own administration, and the exorbitant damages figure being demanded raises various conflict-of-interest questions.

But Trump has reportedly made similar moves in the recent past: The New York Times reported in October that Trump sought $230 million from the Department of Justice as compensation for its past investigations into him.

“Negatively affected President Trump”….really? Only $3.9 Billion wealthier this last year. Could have been so much more if the poor Gila monster wouldn’t have been so negatively affected.

It’s such a bummer living amongst lizards.
