Alex Jones loses it as TMZ releases photos of Lindsey Graham roaming Disney World with pink princess scepter this weekend.​

Alex Jones lashed out at Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) after TMZ published photographs of the pro-war Republican taking an unannounced vacation at Disney World.

"Lindsey Graham is walking around by himself with a baby blue and pink princess scepter," Jones noted on Monday. "So the point is he's got a girl's toy, and he's walking around talking to Mickey Mouse and people looking completely insane. Look at him on TV. He constantly talks about killing people."

"He'll just go like, ha, ha. I mean, he literally turns into a demon on television. Now he's running around with the Princess Scepter. You know, like the Nazi field marshals, calling on their chairman and their joint chiefs, they all had the scepters," he continued. "There is our field marshal. The man with the pink princess scepter [is] making that same weird face he makes constantly. A demonic zombie stumbling around Disney World. Totally oblivious to how bizarre that is."

According to Jones, Graham was running President Donald Trump's foreign policy for the war in Iran while vacationing at Disney World.

"At his off time, he goes by himself to Disney World to walk around all day and talk to kids and talk to people dressed up in Disney character outfits and carry a pink scepter. See, truth is stranger than fiction, you couldn't make that up," the conspiracy theorist explained.

"He's not at home with his wife having dinner because he didn't have a wife, folks. And he's a lot more than just gay. And he's totally compromised," he added.

Wow it's amazing who would have thought to do that?

imagine if roles were reversed and Iran (or any country) had started bombing the US, blowing up a school full of children (we would call it terrorism), and later demanding a ceasefire agreement...we would laugh/scoff in their smug faces...

We’re fortunate Iran seems to recognize they are fighting our compromised Zionist, pedophile government (their words) and not the American people. They are striking US forces and bombing the hell out of Israel.

Yep. Then he says this.

"All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, ‌and ⁠Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT," Trump said in a Truth Social post.

"You’ll have to start learning how ⁠to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for ⁠us.
"The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!"

Basically telling everyone else that we can't do it and we don't need it. So even though we f'ed this all up, you have to fix it for yourself. Plus, I'm getting sick of people acting like what happens in the Strait of Hormuz doesn't affect us. Oh really, then why have our gas prices and other petroleum related prices shot up since this started? It is called a global market. We are a member of the "global" part of that term.

Quite honestly, regardless of the look if the choices are
* Boots on the ground and continue to dig in
* Boots off the ground and continue a 200-billion-dollar missile campaign to destroy the last 10% of thier military
* Pulling out and letting the surrounding nations deal with it the greatly diminished regieme.

I like Option #3 the best. Even if its a bitch move.

except that it´s just another example of tRump not having a real plan in place, and then of course blaming others...knee jerk reactions is all he does, then wipes his hands of his wrongdoings...so sick and tired of him and his ego...
hereś an idea for Iran: open the Strait for all countries except the US and Israel...not sure how feasible that is, but worth a look...

Threat US could abandon alliances would be potentially history-defining BBC​

Tom Bateman
US State Department correspondent, at the Pentagon

The main thing I took from that news conference with Hegseth and Caine was how erratic the Trump administration is in its relationship with the US’s traditional allies.

Over the last 3 weeks, as Iran took control of the Strait of Hormuz, the administration has whipsawed from asking Nato and European allies for help, to saying it doesn’t need any help, to accusing them of disloyalty, to saying the requests for help were a “test”, to now increasingly angrily demanding allies go and reopen it themselves, implying it’s not America’s problem.

This comes with a threat that the US could abandon its alliances, which would be a potentially history-defining shift.

Hegseth didn’t list reopening the strait among his war objectives in his prepared statement, then later described it as “the goal”.

He reiterated Trump’s irritation with the UK, saying its “big bad Royal Navy” should get involved (the UK has said it won’t be “dragged into” the war). “So, the world ought to pay attention to be prepared to stand up,” said Hegseth.

“A lot has been laid bare. A lot has been shown to the world about what our allies would be willing to do for the United States of America... the president is pointing out you don’t have much of an alliance if you have countries that are not willing to stand with you when you need them,” he said.

Hegseth: "The president was clear this morning in his Truth that there are countries around the world who ought to be prepared to step up on this critical waterway as well. Last time I checked there was supposed to be a big bad Royal Navy that could be prepared to do things like that."

saw a drunk college kid (whom I knew, but was not friends with) pick a fight with a (somewhat) sober dude...didn´t end up well for the drunk dude...I didn´t jump in to help him...in class the next day, he bitched at me for not getting involved...(this did not happen, but tRump is the drunk college dude)

I've seen a couple of Pundits (one CNN and one Fox) suggest an all or nothing strategy on the straights. If Iran is blocking our ships, we just block theirs. This virtually has the same effect of taking some oil island and puts greater pressure on IRAN than any other single party. Again though, I think honestly the best outcome for the United States (going forward) is just leaving.

I would question how "diminished" the regime actually is if it has shown it can chokepoint the Strait of Hormuz even in face of a war with Israel and the US to the point that the US vacates the war.

The truth is there are no good, or even decent, options once the critical error of starting a completely unnecessary war has been made.

So domestically let’s kill everything green, tank the economy and have zero domestic energy policy. Then let’s piss off all of our allies by threatening Greenland and flip flopping more times than can count on Ukraine.

Next let’s act on a gut feeling fueled by a genocidal Prime Minister who is leading Trump around by the nose ring secured through his taint. Light the region on fire and say we don’t need allies. Wait we do need allies. Wait we don’t need allies. Wait screw you. I set your house on fire. Turned off your water now you figure out how to put it out.

He doesn’t even realize how connected our energy production is to the world w plans to increase that. Not to mention the other products impacted.

And then once the hard shi+ is needed. When we need a leader w fortitude and integrity. He advocates leaving and leaving us in the worst and weakest international situation maybe in the history of our nation. If not the weakest it’s certainly second by a fraction.

And Magastani’s are ok w just leaving???

You couldn’t hand China and Russia a cheaper better outcome if you tried.

Wanna check China? All’s they have to do is release a virus that’s cheap and less than 5% mortality rate.

Wanna check Russia? Now all they have to do is get their ally Iran to choke off Middle East product shipments and threaten US allies in the region.

So basically China and Russia during this sad sack’s first and second terms have learned cheap virus and cheap ally pressure. Meanwhile Mango Mussolini is going to spend north of $1.5T on fancy weapons that he has now shown to be of no consequence.

BREAKING: Presidente de Francia, Emmanuel Macron:

“We have decided not to authorize the overflight of U.S. military cargo aircraft bound for Israel. I want to be very clear with President Donald Trump: France is not a subsidiary logistics base. President Trump says that ‘the United States will remember.’ We also remember. We remember that an alliance is based on prior consultation, not on faits accomplis. Therefore, it is our right and our duty to decide what passes through our airspace.”
