I think my cringe just cringed.

If he spent half the time actually planning the war as he has posting AI slop videos and images about it, maybe we would have something to actually celebrate.


It is unlikely that he posts all the things he posts.
If it were up to me, he would not post anything.

I truly believe someone on the staff, maybe multiple people, are sending those posts.

Prolly just to see certain folks blow a gasket overreacting.


There is no way the taxpayer is footing the bill for some aides to be trolling the country posing as the President.

You say so ...

DOGE needs to thin out the White House aides.

You guys chased off DOGE, remember?


No, Elon just got rid of whoever had oversight on his companies, then they went away....

Uh huh.

Sure and that's a fairy tale.


what dream world are you living, DOGE went after NHTSA, the people with oversight over Tesla. And FAA, the guys that approved the courses for SpaceX, you know shooting ballistic missiles over populated areas.

DOGE was about making it easier for Elon, nothing else.

How many minutes until Iran says "nope, that's a lie."

How stupid does Trump think we are? At least give the sheeple like whiterock and oldbear different lies to lap up.

This clown is going down as the worst President in History. Everything, literally everything, he has touched has been a f-up or a lie.

He thinks we're very stupid. He understands this. He only needs 30% of us to agree with him and to not lose 67 seats in the senate. He gets those numbers.

Trump is the master of trolling. It's natural that he would have like minded people on his staff.

Could knock me over with a feather as my grandma used to say.

Anxiously awaiting the explanation of how this is somehow a master 27d chess move and epic troll job by Trump instead of the sad lie and incompetence it actually is.

Yes, this is a good thing. Iran is falling for the "Art of the Deal"...

We are at war? We declared War?

You are seriously comparing this to WW2 post Pearl Harbor? Trump is FDR and Truman?

Let's go back one step, why are we in Iran??? We get 0% of our oil. Up to Feb the Straits were open. Why are we the ones here? The rest of Europe and Asia are not agreeing with us, so we are on our own. Under a President that ran on a platform that Harris would be dumb enough to get us in to war with Iran? Remember this?


"To make her president would be to gamble with the lives of millions of people," he said. "She would get us into a World War III guaranteed because she is too grossly incompetent to do the job."
Trump continued that people's "sons and daughters will end up getting drafted to go fight for a war in a country that you've never heard of." Later in the speech, Trump vowed that he would avoid World War III even as the country has "never been so close" to it occurring.

I'm going to do you a favor, FLBear, and ignore the screed, focusing on one good question you asked.

FLBear: " Let's go back one step, why are we in Iran?"

That's the key here. You clearly think it's all about oil. I do not, because the evidence does not support that.

Early in Trump's first term, he signed an Executive Order barring Iranians from traveling to the United
States (EO 13769). There were warnings from the IC about Iranian attacks planned and attacks on oil tankers,

Iran also tested a new ballistic missile shortly after Trump took office.

and there were attacks on Saudi oil facilities that the IC blamed on Iran.

Iran attacked a US base in Iraq, in 2019 and again in 2020,

which led to US retaliatory strikes,

including a US drone strike which killed a top Iranian general linked to terror campaigns worldwide.

The US also targeted key Quds leaders in other Arab countries, notably Yemen.

There is evidence Iran tried to interfere with the 2020 election; even then-candidate Biden blamed Iran for that behavior.

My point is that the US-Iran conflict, and Trump's actions in regard to that conflict, go well back in both cause and length.

This was never about just the gas pumps.

Yet, Trump ran on a message NOT to go to war with Iran. There is a reason this has not been done, contrary to your believe it is incompetence, it is because Iran is no push over. This is a 20 year war. They never had an Air Force and their Navy was 6 Frigates. Everyone knew this was a nightmare, there is a reason no one did it. NO ONE else is joining, even GB. You don't see that as strange? No one...

Only Trump was stupid enough OR Israel had something on him to force him.

I'm curious. In 1942, how many times did FDR tell your ancestors that the war was over, and we were victorious? How many times did that Administration say that Japan and Germany were on the phone wanting to make a deal? Begging for a deal? That we had already achieved all our objectives and were just mopping up?

None of mine heard those things. Did they miss something?

As for my Grandfather, he ran the locomotives he moved what needed to be moved. He moved coal in PN, troops to Navy yards. Tanks to Brooklyn. and people in NYC through the War Years. He was marked civilian engineer and was used as called. He didn't go to Europe, most of the younger guys were used for that as he was in his mid-30's.
