So Much Winning!

Trump on Labor Day:
"Happy Labor Day to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics, Communists, and Dumocrats who will do anything possible to destroy our Country," Trump wrote.

"These Deranged People, after fighting for 10 years, should finally acknowledge that your Favorite President (ME!), knows how to WIN," Trump wrote.
Does he now? And when is that winning going to take place? The USS Abraham Lincoln was not a one off, or a failure of ship’s command. There were reports of other ships with similar problems, though that has all faded from the headlines now.  It’s a result of the blockade, and incompetence in command starting with the SOD; and probably due to damage/loss of bases in the area, also a consequence of the war that isn’t a war, and the aforementioned incompetence. A new Congress could investigate these matters, and even order an end to the blockade that is only costing the U.S., not benefiting it.

We can’t keep the blockade up indefinitely, and we don’t control the Strait of Hormuz. The only reasonable solution now is a multinational one. Trump and Hegseth are fighting with plastic Army men in a sandbox; except, of course, they aren’t at all. But it’s past time to treat them like they are, and to take their toys away. The President may be the point man on foreign policy, but Congress holds the whip hand, and Roberts is not going to intrude his “unitary executive” into international relations. Not unless he really wants to get slapped down.
