What did TOM know and when?

So is TOM in or out on this Israel attacking Iran nuke facilities? He’s walking that tightrope that he always walks. “Iran has 60 days to make a deal.” On day 61 not so shockingly Israel attacks them. But TOM is all wide-open eyes and “oh wows.”

“Donald Trump is walking a tightrope as he claims that he was fully aware of Israel’s plans to launch massive airstrikes against Iran while continuing to distance the US from those strikes and deny Washington took any active role in the preparations.

The White House’s messaging has shifted quickly from Marco Rubio’s arms-length description of the Israeli attack as a “unilateral action”, to Trump claiming on Friday morning that he was fully in the loop on the operation and that it came at the end of a 60-day ultimatum he had given Iran to “make a deal” on its nuclear programme. On Thursday, in remarks from the White House’s East Room, Trump said that strikes on Israel could “blow up” his diplomatic efforts to negotiate with the Iranian leadership and said he “didn’t want them going in”. He defended his decision to begin evacuating personnel because a strike “could well happen”.

“The US started evacuating voluntarily non-essential personnel on Wednesday, barely 24 hours ahead of time, not enough time to really get people out of harm’s way,” said Rosemary Kelanic, the Middle East director for Defense Priorities, a thinktank that pushes for a more restrained US foreign policy. “So the question for me is what did the president know and when did he know it?”

Indeed that would seem to be the question of his admin. What did he know and when? With impending World War III and potential Civil War with the state of CA, TOM has a lot of dancing to do. And having Noem and Hegsloth as his wingmen should not give anyone a sense of security.

And of course tomorrow, the Big Bully’s Birthday Bash. Oh and the Army is 250 as well. But that’s just the side show. Stay tuned.
