"I'm not too much of a believer, but I sat in the Oval Office, first term and a little bit second term, meeting with Air Force pilots that are really good, solid people. These are not people that you would say are conspiracy theorists. They don't even know what it means. But they're great, great pilots. Young, handsome. They have beautiful, nice flat tops. I'd like to have a haircut just like them. They look perfect, like Tom Cruise. … They're thin, you know, very thin and very everything. And… they're the real deal. And they've told me things that are very strange."
I just want to know if the aliens are good-looking. And which A-list celebrity they most resemble. I'm on a Nicolas Cage kick this month, so I hope they look like Nicolas Cage....
Trump’s loose and crazy talk was always his weakness. And it gets worse every day.
He just needs to bomb Pick Axe MT. Go back and bomb that other mountain for good measure and then declare the war over. Keep all the sanctions in place and hope the Iranian people can act on their own.
Rush Limbaugh used to put off kind of a gay vibe, having fresh flowers delivered to his house every day, stuff like that, but, and not that there's anything wrong with that, Trump seems like he is heading somewhere with this.
I love the Nicholas Cage month on Criterion too, BTW.
To do what? Re-install the Shah and sign their old back over to the West? Iran had a secular democratically elected gove in 1953, before "Project Ajax" [google it] just like Afghanistan had a secular government which respected the rights of women before we armed, trained, and funded to Islamists to take the country over in 1979. Another good google search is to search for images life and of women in Afghanistan in the 1970s.
Jeez, I almost wish you hadn't mentioned that Criterion was having a Nicholas Cage month. I might almost consider resubscribing. As for our President. He seems to be heading toward a Supernova. Not sure he'll make it through two more years. It's been so long since we had anyone resembling 'normal' as President, I'm wondering what it would be like if it ever happened again.
While Trump is in a confessional mood, perhaps he could tell us how many billions he and his sons have pocketed from their business dealings during his two years in office.
Are we talking double digits or triple digits? https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-reports-over-14-billion-income-crypto-ventures-2026-06-30/
“ The strait of Hormuz will remain closed until Europe falls”
Same logic applies to Europe as it does to Russia, China, and Iran. The people there know it, but their leadership has been pried away from them and bought off. What do you care if your country has been sold out and its people relegated to poverty and a brutal government if you are cashing the checks? viz: The Shah.
I would expect someone in his circle to whisper in his ear that his strange meanderings into vapid subject matter only help the very people who want to shoot at him from a roof top. So far - no.
Cage's flamboyant performance in DePalma's "Snake Eyes" (the screenshot shown in this post) ruins the movie. He's unbelievable as an Atlantic City cop.
As for photos of women in 1970s Iran and Afghanistan wearing western clothes, they represented a tiny percent of the total population and were the children of wealthy urban elites.
We all know that communist governments are notorious for suppressing the rights of women… Not.
Still Jimmy Carter’s National Security Advisor has publicly admitted that the purpose of sending jihadis into Afghanistan was to provoke a Soviet invasion. Search terms: Afghanistan, Khyber Pass, 1979, and Brzezinski. So even if your claim is true, it’s not why the Afghanistan war happened, and it was none of our business anyway.
Peachy, ask Chat about Mossad, the Shah, and SAVAK, and if you approve, kindly stop pretending that we are doing anything in the region to “help” the people there.
People forget that Trump is 1.5- generation American. His mother was an immigrant, and his father was 1st gen. His Karlstadt-born grandmother was probably his greatest influence. So he did not have standard US English idioms in the house. Also, he is a boomer who wanted to grow up to be like his Greatest Gen parents and other role models. So his idiom is a mix of foreignisms and nearly 100-year-old ways of expressing oneself.
Really he mostly speaks Rat Pack. Take some of his statements admiring male beauty and put them in the voice of Dino or Sammy or Joey or even the other Don: Rickles. Would fit right in. CC, JSM
Why not quote the rest of his answer in the post? He was rather forthcoming about the best planes we have being totally outclassed by strange objects that can't currently be explained.
Oh jeez! Enough with the inveterate ruminations on physique and other physical appearance aspects. Male or female. It’s just getting gross. Grotesque, even.
"declare the war over. Keep all the sanctions in place and hope the Iranian people can act on their own."
The war consists of a US Navy blockade, protected by occasional airstrikes, enforcing the sanctions. If you remove the blockade you remove the sanctions.
I overhear women talking about other women like this all the time. Do they all have repressed Lesbian fantasies? If they're elderly and spontaneously say such things, are they losing it?
Based on their voting trends, maybe they are. Thanks, Althouse, for giving us this insight, in your own clever way.
Does anybody really believe that this “Election” was honest. How could the Polls be so wrong??? Some early voting “dumps” were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote. It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter! President DJT https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/117587105833579030
I find Trump's quirks hilarious. Ah, those young pilots and those crew-cuts (or top-tops or whatever). Its part of not being a politician.
Trump is affected by how people and things look. That's why he has beautiful wives. And buys golf courses, and tries to make buildings and the white house more beautiful. I think part of his disgust with Rosie O Donnell comes from the fact that she's such an ugly fat cow with a shrew mouth.
Of course, Establishment republicans hate that. But then they're losers who don't accomplish anything. Even when you give them power.
I like Nicholas cage as an actor, but don't find him "handsome". Robert Redford was handsome. Young Trump was handsome. James Garner (when young) was handsome.
But then, I"m not Trump. I rarely watch movies and go "Wow, that actor sure is handsome, and his hair..."

Mullah supporters like you just want different people to meddle in Iran.
Europe backs the Mullahs because they allow Lloyds of London to monopolize global shipping and the mullahs allow the globalists in Europe to make cheap goods in SE Asia with a structural energy cost advantage. The Mullahs were happy to give China Oil for weapons they could use to suppress their people and hold shipping in the region hostage.
Trump is just ending Europe's meddling with our own meddling. The strait of Hormuz will remain closed until Europe falls.
Pretending you are some noble crusader is a joke. Everyone in the world meddles. You are a coward that needs to go somewhere else where you can bleat your self righteous bullshit.

China and Russia are on our side in this but you are too blind to notice.
Ukraine blowing up Russian refineries was just a Eurotrash catspaw to get retards like you to blame diesel prices on Trump.
Democrats have been shutting down refineries for years and Europe is shutting them down and blowing them up but you voted for them because you have an 80 IQ.
I hadn't seen my friend Ed (he played the slave in Aguirre Wrath Of God) in over 10 years when I spotted him riding his bicycle. I stopped and said "Hey Ed, how ya doing?" He looked at me very seriously and replied "I went up in the ship, but I'm not saying I was probed." Then he got on his recumbent bike and rode off. True story.

Um, ... it's good that men are finally getting in touch with their feminine side?
OK. This was weird.

Althouse, have you seen Vampire's Kiss? Nic Cage gets a hickey from a girl and becomes convinced he's turning into a vampire. Hilarious.

Trump's obsession with appearances is... not a winning message.
Sorry. I don’t watch 60 Minutes and, increasingly, don’t listen to Trump.
The war has nothing to do with mullahs or the shah.

I think Trump fatigue has set in.
We need new inspiring leaders, like Kamala Harris and Gavin Newscum. Well, maybe not.
The Fuentes hive-brain will deliver for the left.

Impossible to rule out Trump casually divulging an interest in sleeping with men at this point.

Bottom line: Trump is strange; let's vote communist.

Has anyone in here been probed yet?
Sit down. I mean by aliens.

"Has anyone in here been probed yet?"
I can't remember.
Has Trump been probed? Implanted?
The nonbinary, pansexual, post-gender future says hi. Trump shouldn't have been so hard on "Talafreako," a fellow gender pioneer.
"Has anyone in here been probed yet?... I mean by aliens."
Yes. Once by Margarita, and a second time by Consuela. That's why I voted Democrat this time - so they can stay.
I find Trump's quirks hilarious. Ah, those young pilots and those crew-cuts (or top-tops or whatever). Its part of not being a politician.

Of course, Trump can embrace the ugly when he has to. He seems to have really wanted bill maher, the ugly dwarf, to be his friend.
