Yeah, they’re saying all the same dumbass things that came out of Rumsfeld and McNamara’s mouths.

The upside is no one believes them. The downside is both ruling parties support this war, if not in word than in deed, so we’ll probably be at war there for the next 20 years.

You’re not wrong.

But it’s all we ever get, so some find it satisfying.

No one who would do the right thing is allowed within sniffing distance of the presidency.

The two ruling parties think it’s bad enough that a Democratic Socialist is running the world’s fifth-largest economy in New York, and are no doubt scheming up administrative hurdles to ensure it never happens again once Zohran’s out of power, same as they did after Ross Perot got so close to the presidency in the 90’s.

DO IT

moving investments and reorganizing supplies takes time.

This is a salient point. Back in February 2025 when Donald decided to start imposing unilateral tariffs, other countries started crafting new trade agreements. Those take 1.5 to 2 years to take effect, so everything Donald is doing is, essentially, a time bomb that’s going to go off after 2026 whether it’s the BBB or our former allies rerouting trade around the US and through China. The vast majority of Americans don’t have any real knowledge of what these things mean or Donald would be even more unpopular than he is now.

In 2028 the new order in the world will probably unrecognizable compared to 2024, and it could be a very bad thing. We Americans have been lucky in that most of us have never experienced real war and can’t contextualize it, and that could change in the very near future.

It’s a nice thought, but there’s no way. We here in the US didn’t even kill the leaders of the Confederacy after the civil war, and those fuckers got hundreds of thousands of Americans killed in their treason.

The reason why cancel culture is so big here is that, often, getting someone canceled is the only meaningful recourse for being a piece of shit.

Agreed.

As much as one might want their country to win, as an American who is 100% anti-war, incidents like this are definitely helpful to slowing the march to war and make it exponentially harder for Donald and Keg-breath to justify what they’re doing.

Also, from what he’s said previously, apparently we already won the war?

Sounds exactly like what his admin did with PPE during COVID.

Except now the whole planet is stuck essentially Ebaying for essentials or paying Iran’s tolls.

Not ‘strikes’.

Bombings.

Alternate headline: “Fat, Old Turd Threatens To Send Toadies To Do Genocide For Him While He Gobbles Big Macs”.

Brilliant idea, Donald.

Because your decision to disrupt global energy markets hasn’t already caused enough problems. Let’s go ahead and make it worse.

This just shows that the bible isn’t a coherent story.

The Gospels don’t even agree on basic details.

But not child molesters, apparently.

Because if it did there wouldn’t be a little Catholic club.

I’ll be happy to listen to this little pipsqueak moralize when he purges his church of child molesters and makes it mandatory to report and prosecute them. Until then, he’s just another wealthy hypocrite.

My thoughts as well. So sick of these headlines that pretend there’s any accountability because someone, somewhere said something and did nothing else.

Remember that Donald and his cronies could stop all of this with one phone call to Israel. The problem is that Israel almost certainly has proof he’s a pedophile.

They can’t make war without American WMD shipments.

Well…

…this is going about as well as you’d expect from two war leaders who are qualified only to be TV show hosts.

Donald isn’t doing this out of patriotism, homeland security, or even in service to our alliances. He’s doing it for two reasons:

• So the world doesn’t talk about Epstein. (Likely that’s why he’s sending Americans to die for Israel specifically.)
• Because free jets, and price-gouged hotel stays, and Trump coins aren’t free. They’re paid for with favors, even if it means getting reservists killed in an illegal war.

It’s just a quid pro quo. That’s it.

Funny how that works.

They kinda do.

Another reminder that if there is a god out there, they’re the type of god that likes to burn ants with a magnifying glass.
