  1. Does Trump think this will make the war more popular? It’s just speeding up how quickly he’s wasting our taxpayer dollars. Those strikes cost hundreds of millions of dollars, *at least*. Possibly billions of dollars.

    How did nobody tell him that shutting down the Strait of Hormuz would be the first thing Iran would do? How could that possibly have come as a surprise to him?

    If I knew that, and you knew that, surely _someone_ in the White House knew that?

    Israel will tell him where to send US Troops and Trump will pass it onto Putin to make sure the boss is informed.

  4. This Iran thing was supposed to be done in time for the Sunday shows, but Trump and American interests have strung together a series of fuel-related fails. Strait of Hormuz. Refueling deaths of American servicemembers.

    Trump is desperate for a ‘win’ so he can exit Iran war in a high note, and will green light any attack plan that could possibly give him that cover. Not great for Americans.

    It is always a good thing when the fuhrer assumes direct military command, right?

  6. He ordered the attack on Kharg island setting it on fire, its an oil loading terminal.

  7. When are we going to get that Hitler video of him in the bunker yelling at his generals with Trump’s voice overdubbed?

    Yeah, f that guy and the war n’ all, but why does he look like he’s recording a single in the picture?

  9. Dude is wasting tax dollars, destroying America foreign relations in the Middle East, snd raising gas prices world wide that will raise prices of just about everything for everyone.

    Hey GOP, you’ve got to get your pedo in chief under control.

    1. *Liberal democracy* –
    Competitive elections, rule of law, strong civil liberties, independent courts, and real checks on executive power.

    2. *Flawed / weakening democracy* –
    Elections still matter but institutions start eroding. Polarization rises, norms break down, corruption grows, and minority rights get chipped away.

    3. *Illiberal democracy* (**you are here**) –
    Elections still occur but civil liberties, press freedom, and institutional independence are significantly undermined. Leaders openly attack courts, media, and election legitimacy. The system still functions but is heavily distorted.

    4. *Competitive authoritarianism* (**you are fast-approaching here**) –
    Elections still exist and opposition parties technically operate, but the playing field is badly tilted. The ruling faction uses state power, propaganda, legal harassment, and institutional capture to maintain power. Opposition can still win, but it becomes increasingly difficult.

    5. *Electoral authoritarianism* –
    Elections occur but are largely performative. Media, courts, and election systems are controlled enough that real power change is unlikely.

    6. *Full authoritarianism / dictatorship* –
    Opposition is suppressed or banned, elections are meaningless or absent, and the executive rules with minimal constraints.

    America builds the most powerful military in human history and then puts this asshole in absolute control of it. Fuck MAGA and everyone stupid enough to support it for inflicting this on the world.

  12. Wait, I thought we were mission accomplished here?  Republicans, care to explain why your dear leader is a pedophile and runs up your gas prices?  I’m sure you care about one of those two things.

    If you are a republcian and support this.

    You are the problem.

    You are the reason why America cannot be the “super power” you want it to be.

    How long do you all think it’s going to take before he tries ordering a nuclear strike on Iran?

    Personally I think he’s already thinking about it but we won’t hear anything until sometime next month.

  15. AlsoCommiePuddin on

    If we just put Donald Trump in a box and shipped him to Iran to let them have their way with him do you think they would be satisfied?

  16. AdCharacter7966 on

    I wonder if he is gonna go for the Nobel peace prize again this year, or he will just stick to his FIFA prize? 😅

    Sadly many more people have to die for this criminal, all brought you by the GOP.Never forget GOP is to thank at the polls.

    He’s now golfing at mar a lame o all weekend. And kegsbreath is wasted.

    Time to ignore idiot orders

  19. dynamic_anisotropy on

    Signs things are going well when your commander in chief personally takes charge, next to his alcoholic weekend news guy cosplaying as a soldier.

  20. Congress needs to get their balls back from orange daddy’s mouth and FUCKING DO THEIR DAMN JOBS

  21. symphonicrox on

    I doubt anyone in his administration would tell him no about anything, even nuking a hurricane off the coast. 

  22. In 10 days everything worldwide will have gone to shit. There will be discussions of removing this asshat from office. He’ll double down, China will feel the impact on their economy and I suspect something will be done within 30-45 days from this point forward. He’s going to piss of some country enough to garner change. This is going to be the catalyst that removes Trump. Calling it.

  23. flippedbit0010 on

    Wait, I thought it was already over? Didn’t he say the war ended and America won?

    Everyone knows that part of being a mediocre real estate developer is military target selection

  25. What a moron Trump is. And we’re all getting screwed because of idiots like him and Hegseth.

  26. This is like that part in german history of the war, and youre at the point where Hitler is personally calling the shots (and in rebuke of his military leaders) and Germany is also in shambles and also everyone hates them..  yep. 

  27. Peacetime president, first recipient of Fifa Peace award.

    Gleefully ordering bombings of Iran to distract from his pedophilia

  28. NotTheRightHDMIPort on

    He is panicking because his generals are telling him the only way out is ground operations. One of the largest since Vietnam.

    He is hoping he can bomb Iran into compliance.
