Is anyone else completely bored by all the foreign policy news?

Not because it doesn’t matter, and that that it ultimately doesn’t affect domestic issues.

It’s just that we have so many domestic issues that seem to be getting ignored. It’s amazing how all the ICE news up and disappeared? Are we getting the illegals out or not.

I have never spent much time thinking much about Iran and whether or not we should go to war with them.

However I have thought a lot about immigration, crime, cultural/social issues like feminism and race politics, etc.

Some good domestic news would be prime, right about now.

"Obama and Hilldawg perp walked for Muh Russia."

"Both houses of congress told to return to the Capital to await 98% perp walk train."

Fantasy.

Not a single high profile politician arrest will be made during trumps 2nd term. It’s all talk.

Obama.
Clintons.
Anyone related to the Epstein files.
Minnesota fraud schemes.

All of it. Just political theater to rile up the base for votes.

If Trump fully understood Domestic policy he would have focused on getting the Save Act passed and got the midterms figured out before bombing the hell out of Iran.

Maybe even knocked out a few more Domestic issues along the way would have been a better focus for 2026.

Then in 2027 he could have done what he wanted to Iran.

Just thinking using some form of strategy to do what’s right for the next Republican regimes future and the USA should have been prioritized by now.

Let’s face it the Iran situation has a big blowup in his face scenario written all over it should this drag out.

It’s already blown up. The mid terms were going to be hard enough, now that the right is completely fractured, it’s going to make it that much worse.

I get the feeling that Trump just wants to “do things” and gets fed up with being hamstrung by the bureaucratic and judicial red tape with his domestic policy, and decides to go bomb shite instead because there is no one in his way to do that.

I just wish he could use this foreign policy stuff as a bargaining chip to get something like the Save Act pushed thru. He is constantly capitulating to the MIC/Neocons and COC and they never throw us a bone back.

IDK, the main domestic issue before Iran was Nancy Guthrie. I'm glad it's being ignored.

Yes. If they dont pivot to domestic then the consequences will destroy his foreign policy wins.

Yes, we are still deporting. Just because you don't hear about it on the news, it doesn't mean it isn't happening.

ICE is out there everyday. Crowder did a ride along last week where they picked up an MS-13 member and a mother who sold child porn pics of her own children. You didn’t hear about it because there was no leftist mob there to fight law enforcement.

You shouldn't be expecting the media or even most podcasters to tell you what's happening. When is the last time a podcaster or the media told you something positive that Trump did? All they do is bitch and make up ridiculous allegations, because that is what sells. That is what people want to hear.

If you want positive news, you only have a couple of sources.

The weird thing is that many conservatives complained when Trump announced large ICE actions because it gave the democrats a chance to organize protests.

Now that the administration isn't doing that, people complain about not being told what's happening.

But this isn't new. When Bondi or Kash talk about investigations, conservatives complain about talk and no action. When they don't provide info, everyone complains that nothing is being done.

You really can't please conservatives.
