He’s right for a short term. But this shite is dragging out much longer than it should. So the tide is turning.

What Trump said, that was reported today on Meet The Press, makes no sense, and further solidifies the resolve of those who believe it's time to activate the 25th amendment to the US Constitution.

Everyone I know is alarmed at the current escalation of prices and the price of gas and diesel, and product shortages in stores. Nobody talks about Iran and their desire to get The Bomb.

And what's this paranoia about The Bomb? At least 10 countries already have The Bomb, and no one other than the US has ever deployed it, and that was 81 years ago. Iran, like the other nations that already possess The Bomb, would be subject to the rule of MAD.

Do you not realize that the old regime of Iran was at the stage in their biblical beliefs that it was time to eliminate the USA and Israel? It's a spiritual war. You will never understand it because you do not practice their religion.

No sane American should want higher gasoline prices which in turn makes the costs of goods and services higher as well so Israel and Saudi Arabia don’t get nuked. Thats not America First it’s Israel and Saudi first.

Every single President has called Iran The Axis if Evil and they can never have a nuke

Why lie? Only one did that. That was coined by GHWB. Others, such as Reagan, gave them weapons and shite.

We now have a President that did something about it and now he's the boogieman

Damn if he does, damn if he don't

I'm thankful we have a President that finally did something about it and in 10-15-20 years down the road, history will look back and also appreciate what he did

This is hyperbole. Very few Americans complained when Trump gave the go ahead to bomb all three enrichment site in 2025.
quote:

So what, I'm temporarily paying a few extra bucks for gas.. small price to pay for everything he has done for us

The rising prices you see have zero to do with getting rid of Iran's enrichment program and everything to do with stupidly thinking anyone can cause Iranian regime change with mothing more than airstrikes and a half-assed blockade.

exposing all of the fraud, dismantling the Deep State

Trump's children, as well as Trump himself have made a ton of personal wealth off of this military action. That is pretty much fraud. You are also lying if you say you know what the "deep state" is.

Would also point out that you were one of the idiots who, at the beginning of this, was constantly spouting "this is about China". Dude, China is looking better and stronger on the world stage now.

You good sir, add nothing of value to anything.

Iran's Islamic Republic with nuclear weapons would be 1,000 times worse than North Korea.

What is your understanding of the global effects (including to the United States) of a nuclear exchange between Israel and Iran?

If we chose they’d nuke each other off the map and we could all collectively watch and decide on next steps with a more peaceful Middle East?

Weird how gas was very low prior to the war despite all of those “items.”

If it could be contained just between those 2, my care level wouldn’t be elevated either but there is virtually no scenario where that containment would occur.

This is a stupid fricking statement and akin to the Biden admin and MSMs bullshite during his administration.... "You don't know whats good for you, we do... Don't believe your lying eyes"

All the polls, including Fox's show 61% of Americans say gas prices are a major problem for them and another 29% saying its a minor. So 90% of Americans are being impacted. So instead of showing empathy, he justifies it with the above.

Thank god I'm not one struggling, but this is the bullshite that will cost the Repubs the House and maybe Senate, should the Dems quit stepping on their dicks.

This isn’t our problem. That’s Israel’s problem. How do you people not understand that? We aren’t in the Middle East we are on the other side of the world.
