Winning When You're Dead Wrong (There Really Oughta Be A Law)

Donald Trump's claim that "We're going to win so much, you're going to be so sick and tired of winning, you're going to come to me and go 'Please, please, we can't win anymore'" does NOT make sense - until you understand the twisted ethics behind what he's doing - like helping Einstein's "misled criminals and terrorists". Only then - after realizing Trump's doing wrong and how wrong it is - would it make sense for anyone to demand for winning to stop.  It's quite astute of him to assume that day would come.

 

Israel's other defenders aren't so lucky. But, where Douglas Murray versus Dave Smith was a dreary affair (at least until Murray coined the phrase "You haven't bean?") Tucker Carlson versus (the disingenuous and "feline") Senator Ted Cruz was a real knee-slapper. Cruz is a former debate champion, so to watch him fall apart so shambolically, revealing ignorance, hypocrisy, and deceit, is hilariously uncharacteristic. Here, he's an incoherent deterrent. Tucker said his "logic train has a massive hole in it." This makes his the second head recently displayed on Tucker's wall, after Piers Morgan's, so "well-done" to The TV Dinner Kid.
And, finally, this is what "winning" always looks like, amongst those who can't grasp what a "fact" is:
Joseph Goebbels could scarcely contain himself. The moment he heard the news he telephoned Hitler in the Führerbunker. "My Führer, I congratulate you, Roosevelt is dead," he exalted. "It is written in the stars. The last half of April will be the turning point for us. This is Friday, April 13. It is the turning point." 
Sometime earlier, Goebbels had passed along two astrological predictions to Count Schwerin von Krosigk, Reich's Minister of Finance. One had been prepared for Hitler the day he took power, January 30th, 1933. The other, dated November 9th 1918, had dealt with the future of the Weimar Republic. Krosigk noted in his diary "An amazing fact had become evident. Both horoscopes predicted the outbreak of war in 1939, the victories until 1941, and the subsequent series of reversals, with the hardest blows during the first months of 1945, especially in the first half of April. Then, there was to be an overwhelming victory in the second half of April, stagnation until August, and peace the same month. For the following three years Germany would have a difficult time but, starting in 1948, she would rise again."
