Absolutely, Mr. trump-- those goalposts can't move themselves. He'll spend a day or two word-salading out a few speeches about Absolute Victory over Iran. He'll turn that assignment in two weeks. Honest Abe he will! His idiots will tell us Iran is still toothless after last month's surrender which came fast on the heels of last year's bombing them into surrender. Any other opinions they'll say, are just silly, seditious propaganda they hate seeing distributed "all over the place."

It's easy to be deaf, dumb and mute if you try hard enough.
