This is the most tragic part of Trump’s personality!! He believes anything and everything that anyone (I mean the “enemy” or who should be seen as the enemy) tells him, as long as it is said in a flattering way and not trying to let him know how gullible he is! He also can’t stand Obama and Biden, because they both accomplished tasks or projects that he does not have even the remotest chance of thinking about, let alone put into practice!! Like the old adage “the eyes are bigger than the stomach”, the size of Trump’s ego far surpasses his intellect. He needs to be removed from office as well as Hegseth, who has probably been drinking this whole time and that’s why he thinks it’s appropriate to offer his opinions about news agencies and reporters. I don’t care how long or short Hegseth’s time in the military was: he learned nothing!!!!!
Knowing that Trump's tendencies are, quite often, to be The Bully, it was extremely easy to goad him into, foolishly, acting. Putin and Lil Kim proved it more than once. He's an idiot and was brought up to be a Bully with money. Daddy and Mommy ensured he'd kill us all.
Thank you! I just get tired of seeing so much Trump nonsense in print and people thinking he is stellar as the President when he a) in all likelihood won because he got Musk et al to do the dirty work and b) buys or threatens every judge or magistrate or person with brains to stay out of his way! He is an accident waiting to happen and, unfortunately, I believe the time is now
A small man's ego is usually big. But in Trump's case, he's such a small, small man with a huge ego, that controls his every thought, you wind up starting WWIII to show how tough he is. Never thinks about tomorrow. That would be a compound thought that he would never figure out.
John, what I am about to write does not reflect upon you, its just that I am so upset that this is likely being interpreted as a religious war and that won’t be good, especially if that idiot Hegseth keeps shooting his mouth off like he is the be all and end all of military expertise. One of the Senators like John Thune and maybe the Speaker Mike Johnson need to grow some testicles and have a heart to heart with Trump and Hegseth. Unless Donnie and Pete are planning on putting on military uniforms and join the fight, they need to put an end to this conflict immediately as well as APOLOGIZE for being 2 of the biggest assholes!!!
I think it’s probably true that they’re advisors to Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu who explained to them how to manipulate a low IQ malignant narcissist Donald Trump. The Russians are pretty good at psychological operations and Israel is probably even better at it. They played Trump like a cheap fiddle. They probably is AI programs that can predict how to deal with someone like Donald Trump. He is easily manipulated because all you have to do is stroke his insatiable ego. Before the term narcissistic personality entered common parlance we just called people like Trump assholes.
And now we're lifting sanctions on Russia and we're going to buy oil from them, despite them backing Iran in the war. Aside, he definitely has tons of Epstein dirt on Trump. I don't think Putin wanted Epstein silenced, but yes, many did.
A national leader, especially if they wield considerable power, who has a weakness for flattery combined with a pride of arrogant proportions is like a 5 year old with a gun: unbelievably dangerous.
Its really kind of pathetic how easily the fanta menace is manipulated. Show him something shiny and like a toddler he is instantly hypnotized. I know that is an oversimplification but with patriots like Ms Lyndsey and that Cypher Kushner, it is a simple math problem. Just like you said, tell him it will make him look strong and decisive and he's your Huckleberry. We are truly living in sad, alarming, ridiculous times. Hey Donald look! Shiny! Oooohhhh!
Remember, Jared is close personal friends with Bebe. Bebe used to stay at the Kushner family home and is said to have convinced Trump that Iran was going to strike first, going against US intelligence. Then we fired the agents who specialized in Iranian intelligence for decades. We've refused advice from Zelinski, who has much experience in defense from Iranian drones in a much less expensive manner.
This is what happens when you elect someone who hates his country. It’s time to put some distance between us and him. The Roman senate knew how to do this - they declared war on two brothers who got too big for their britches. Perhaps we need to do the same, very publicly, to make sure the world understands that the vast majority of us did not consent. Cause most of the world blames the US, not the lunatic in charge
My Democrats are so right about most things except the Middle East. You look at Maga and easily see brainwashing and you don’t understand it. Is it possible my progressive’s have been so brainwashed by Arab propaganda for so many years and they don’t see their own brainwashing. 92 million Iranians under the yolk of these barbaric terrorists, Terrorism and Islamists colonialization in the Middle East and you think Trump is wrong. It isn’t wrong just because it’s Trump.
I do not agree with how they govern their populations in the Middle East. But the West has spent hundreds of years crusading to convert Moslems to Christianity by war and other means, I sincerely doubt they will change until their own populations rise up and demand a change for the better. Change from within is the only lasting change - invasion has only worked in one instance I know of - Japan - and that is because they know a good deal when it presents itself. (and know how to turn it to their own advantage.)
Thanks Peter. Our media has been really negligent in following Iran. The Iranian people have been rising up and they’re very ready right now and that’s why this help from the outside is going to work and I think pretty quickly. Watching podcasts from Toosii TV, Goldie Ghamari and atheist Republic would help see what’s going on on the ground in Iran.
Lots of chest thumping here on how Obama and Biden avoided this. They were so smart. Got to protect those oil prices.
Well, let's see how that worked out. Iran kept on developing their nukes, major player in cypto, developed better and longer range missiles, armed Houtis, Hezballah and Hamas to the teeth. Let's not forget the wonderful Shahed drones and the slaughter of Israelis.
Can someone enlighten me as to how appeasement with Iran has made us safer? Peace at any price is not peace, it is just a bribe to kick the can down the road.
What is occurring is the inevitable result of decades of neglect that should have been corrected in 1979. Not a pat on the back to Trump as his sellout to Russia exceeds any gains here.
Obama and Biden were smart enough to surround themselves with rare and sagacious minds, experienced, deep thinkers, marinated in the lessons of history, invited by their presidents to debate decisions, raise challenges, and try their absolute best to steer the nation between the rocks and the shoals. I read once that Obama, in his first meeting in the Oval, remarked, "Don't do stupid. s***.
That orange idiot deliberately, wilfully surrounded himself with sycophants. JUMP! HOW HIGH?!
Mister Sec'y of WAAA-hhh, raze Iran to the ground and sow radioactive salt in their fields!
YES, SIR! DONE! and Done!
See how simple it is? Do away with all this WOKE crap, and governing is EASY. Even fools can do it! I have a squadron of B-21s taking off now; Iran will be a smoking radioactive crater by tea time.
Russ, I mostly agree with you, specifically on the ongoing, apparently insoluble problem of the mere existence of Iran’s medieval, bloodlust-filled Muslim theocracy. I will go out on a limb and say that, in some ways, I think it's about damned time.
The thing is, there were many, many reasons previous administrations didn't take this route. Of course, the Sainted Gipper was in bed with them. The release of our hostages was deliberately arranged to further humiliate Jimmy Carter (Reagan had a real mean streak, that SOB). At the time of the crisis, I took to referring to the Iranians as Iratians; they were always so MAD.
I think Jimmy did the best he could. If the Disaster in the Desert had rather been a resounding success, Jimmy’d gone down as a warrior, which in WW2 he was, while Reagan paraded around in his officer’s pinks selling war bonds.
Every president since has been forced into this dance with death with these ridiculous black-robed louts. (Full disclosure, I am an atheist and firmly convinced that religion is THE curse of the world).
Bear in mind that we are locked in the same grim 2-step with the loony in the DPRK. In 1945, we let out a genie that cannot be stuffed back in. Ever. In the West, we like to think we are gentlemanly (and gentleladily), well done, old sock, more sherry? But that act is a ruse. We, humans, are natural-born killers, top to toe. If we weren’t, we would never have gotten to be king of the hill. We are literally born prey animals, but we have opposable thumbs and bigger brains. And luck. Whole lotta luck.
But nukes are POWER. You got power: Why can’t we have some?” There’s a fear factor, too; Iran knows we can turn them into a smoking radioactive crater, which is scary for a nation that feels it can’t fight back. “Depend upon it, sir, when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.” —Samuel Johnson.
War is never the answer, even when we are positive that it is. We can obliterate Iran (an awful lot of innocent folks there, plus the bombs don’t stay inside borders), and that’s it for Iran.
Swell, Yay USA! Except a freaking enormous majority of the rest of the entire world thinks we are the ones with the blood-dripping lips, and (BTW) “Christian.” That is not peace through strength; that is state terrorism. (Also BTW, I am an American veteran, USRA, ‘61—’64, no fortunate son.)
Our battle with Iran is a religious war. When Islam accuses us of being crusaders, they are not wrong. On the other hand, I hate what the doomsday fanatics have done to ALL religions. (Chuck’s an atheist; be more like Chuck.)
The single biggest problem I think Trump has made for ALL of us is his irrepressible, Let's-Do-It impulsivity. Ballroom? Destroy the East Wing. Too many federal workers? Turn Wacky Elon loose with a chainsaw. If Trump tried parkour, he would be dead on the first jump because he never thinks it through. And yes, I do think he has dementia. My wife died of it. I see the signs.
He ordered his little adventure without a clue as to what the consequences might be, and the U.S. taxpayer will hold the bag. He says everything is great, no problems, everything until the tight, expert control of our lunatic Pistol Pete, Sec’y of WAAAaaarrr!
I don’t think anyone supports the Iranian government or their terrorism. Most people understand that bombing Iran will do nothing to correct the situation. It will cost American lives and billions of dollars, make the world unstable, hurt our economy, and do absolutely nothing to help Iranian citizens. Operation Epstein Fury is a disaster for all countries, especially the United States.
He’s such an idiot. Is he even real because I’ve never known a more unintelligent person whom thinks he knows everything. Everything is common sense with him and based on HIS demented feelings. He makes me nauseous. Yes well this is common sense from me to you. Get the fuck out of America and let us live our best lives. I’m certainly glad that Americans are waking up to all of his blatant corruption. If he lives he’s going straight to prison along with his entire cabinet.🤮
Look at the geography of Iran. It is ringed by mountains an is a natural fortress. What is Hegseth going to do? Bulldoze the mountains to remove the resistance? Not going to happen by along shot.
Because MFSOB dumpty asshole trumpty 💩 is a brainless idiot. He also wants to distract from the trump epstein maxwell files. The closer we get to the truth the more dumb things he does to distract.
This is the most tragic part of Trump’s personality!!

This is all true

Of note is that Trump surrounded himself with many men & women of wealth who don’t know a thing about how to govern, priorities, etc.
I think it’s probably true that they’re advisors to Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu who explained to them how to manipulate a low IQ malignant narcissist Donald Trump. The Russians are pretty good at psychological operations and Israel is probably even better at it. They played Trump like a cheap fiddle. They probably is AI programs that can predict how to deal with someone like Donald Trump. He is easily manipulated because all you have to do is stroke his insatiable ego. Before the term narcissistic personality entered common parlance we just called people like Trump assholes.
Putin, according to many articles, summed Trump up long ago, when he was still with the KGB.
I’ve heard that. Russia is good at two things, lying and spying. They suck at everything else.
He probably got a lot of information from Epstein. When American banks stopped lending money to Trump Putin probably became Trump’s loan shark.
Epstein had a lot of dirt on people and he was probably CIA and some sort of double agent. Trump is not the only person who wanted Epstein silenced.
And now we're lifting sanctions on Russia and we're going to buy oil from them, despite them backing Iran in the war. Aside, he definitely has tons of Epstein dirt on Trump. I don't think Putin wanted Epstein silenced, but yes, many did.

He avoided Vietnam. Never learned the lesson. But then he spent the time raping little girls.
He said he had his own Vietnam... in the dating world... Too bad he didn't have penis spurs to match his heel spurs!
Rumor is, he has gonorrhea.
IKR 🤮

Trump is often wrong and ignorant on nearly any topic. He was/is still a failed father, husband, uncle, brother, businessman and president.
I do not agree with how they govern their populations in the Middle East. But the West has spent hundreds of years crusading to convert Moslems to Christianity by war and other means, I sincerely doubt they will change until their own populations rise up and demand a change for the better.

"the slaughter of Israelis"??
How many Israelis has Iran "slaughtered"??
You may have confused this with the Genocide Israel did in Gaza. 70,000 people (most of them women and children) and counting...
Now, THAT's a Slaughter...
Obama and Biden were smart enough to surround themselves with rare and sagacious minds, experienced, deep thinkers, marinated in the lessons of history, invited by their presidents to debate decisions, raise challenges, and try their absolute best to steer the nation between the rocks and the shoals.

It seems as though we now have "boots on the ground" with the Marine branch of our military...
the reasons for all of this are as murky and differing as the reasons trump and Epstein broke up...
Look at the geography of Iran. It is ringed by mountains an is a natural fortress. What is Hegseth going to do? Bulldoze the mountains to remove the resistance? Not going to happen by along shot.
It would be novel if there were at least one adult to the current fascist administration instead of mental midgets.
Because MFSOB dumpty asshole trumpty 💩 is a brainless idiot. He also wants to distract from the trump epstein maxwell files. The closer we get to the truth the more dumb things he does to distract.
The biggest threat to world peace - incompetent blundering bullies with bullets and bombs.
My heart cries for the world as I say these 4 simple words, we told you so.
Thank you, David. This is what happens when we have a lunatic and a drunk in charge!
He is arrogant and stupid
