  1. The manager said yet again, "Don't be intimidated by his #bluster."

    "Course not." Head high, the fighter strode into the arena, muttering, "I'm more worried about his enormous fists."

  2. Ahh, all the hands. Where have we heard that before? And is it Iran that wins each way while the rest of the world suffer?

    Still a good incentive to disinvest in petrochemicals…..

    I suspect even Vance realises he has been played for a fool.

    Russia Warns European States Against Hosting French Nuclear Bomber Planes

    ground.news/article/russia-war

    Allegedly countries hosting French nukes would become targets in the case of conflict... Because they weren't already targets. Oh my no.

    Glad to see the Kremlin riding the Russian paper tiger realising the european giant on their doorstep isn't putting up with their bullshit any more.

  6. What if this is all #Trump #bluster and the #UnitedStates cannot actually implement the #tariffs because it no longer has a functioning bureaucracy thanks to ##EvilElons tactics.

  7. #Quotes #JimmyCarter #Weakness #Bluster

    A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
    A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It is a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity. -Jimmy Carter, 39th US President, Nobel laureate (b. 1 Oct 1924)

  9. “We would hop around his…clubs, bldgs, holding rooms, limos, planes, golf carts, & mob scenes, #Trump disgorging his usual #bluster, #slander, #flattery, & obvious #lies. The #diatribes were #exhausting & disjointed.

    “…I was struck by one theme that Trump kept pounding on over & over: he was used to dealing w/'brutal, vicious killers'—by which he meant his fellow ruthless operators in showbiz, real estate, casinos, & other…industries. In contrast, he told me, politicians are saps & weaklings.

  11. If Kim actually fired a #nuke at the #UnitedStates, the #DPRK would be completely vaporized before their #missile entered US #airspace. Their #saberRattling and #bluster is a joke because of how implausible their #threats are. But these threats aren't really for the benefit of other nations. It's all about feeding the #NorthKorean people a steady supply of #bullshit to maintain morale. I doubt they even have the capability to strike the US with a functioning nuke.

  13. "They prevent people like Trump from making wild, unsupported claims when they’re trying to obtain financing or insurance. In fact, when Trump tried to raise this argument again in his testimony, the judge cut him off and told him to go read his opinion which already addressed this argument."
