    I wish I could tag people here, because I’d love to know what Auroral_path thinks, after all, they simp for Trump so much and talk about how lefties are bad for democracy.

    They might have to release the Epstein files just to cover up the scandal about the war news /s.

  3. Maybe he can just start calling it Bidens war gaslight his followers that hes saving everyone by pulling out and demand peace prize again. 

    They dont live on same reality and he has his own news machine.

    Send ICE, Lindsey Graham, and Barron there while pulling back the rest of our troops..

    It’s the chronic inconsistency of the man and his admin that makes it all so maddening.

    “We’ve won the war and don’t need any help!”

    “Why won’t our allies help us out?”

    “This war is practically won.”

    “We’re just getting started.”

    “This isn’t a regime change operation, but the regime has changed.”

    These people belong on a TV sitcom, not in the White House.

  6. There are just two outcomes now.

    Least likely: USA goes all in on a long, protracted war, and plans regime change/nation building with boots on the ground.

    Most likely: Trump grows tired of the war and its unpopularity. USA just withdraws and stops the attacks. The regime stays in control, and knows we won’t be coming back. They continue asymmetric low level conflict in the strait of Hormuz and with Gulf neighbors.

    Oil prices stay elevated and this goes on for some years… basically stopping whenever Iran’s leaderships wants it to end. Who knows when that will be, but reasonably they’ll likely continue until the end of the Trump administration as revenge.

    High energy will bleed into inflation and everything will get even more expensive.

    Trump made an absolute mess and there’s nobody to clean it up.

    This dumbass might actually just declare victory and leave leaving the Isrealis to defend for themselves.

    so he leaves and proves Iran right the US cannot be trusted, because the US’s allies are getting pelted on trump’s behalf and I dont think its going to stop unless Iran gets what it wants, which is a total removal of the US including trade in the dollar.

    and now ethiopia might explode back into a war with Tigray and Eritrea which could turn into a regional war around the horn of Africa, Im sure the shipping lanes to the Suez will love that.

    hyperinflation is basically guaranteed now

  9. These stupid mother fuckers voted to be racist over a black women who would have never put us in this position. Enjoy the next 3 years of standing by your man and being poor in the process maga. But hey , at least the 7 trans athletes aren’t playing sports!

  10. Honest question – are Americans who voted for this clown embarrassed? Honestly at this point I rather have Jeremy Jam running the show or Ben “Ice Town” Wyatt. 

  11. It’s Harris’ fault for losing to me. What a loser and traitor shes is! Lock her up!

    There’s no ‘Obama Apology Tour’ that’s going to fix what MAGA has broken.

    We did this to ourselves, America needs to decide how it’s going to move forward, whether we’re going to be led by a gaggle of sadists or whether we figure out how to be responsible partners and neighbors in the world.

  13. And I had to listen to my father today insist that this was all Biden’s doing.

    The level of brain rot is unimaginable.

    Time for a Epstein war II in Cuba, to distract from Epstein War I in Iran, to distract from Epstein files

  15. Trump isn’t admitting that it was a mistake to start this war against Iran.

    Trump claims that he selflessly started the war on behalf of the safety of the region and the entire world. Like the benevolent and generous god he is.

    The US itself obviously doesn’t really have any interest in the Middle East, because they have their own oil and natural gas. (It’s a pure coincidence that all their soldiers wear desert camouflage.)

    Because of this it would be totally unfair of the other nations to not come to help the US out. Not that the mighty US military would need that help. The war is already completely won. More won than any war in history ever was. Still, Trump will get very mad if the puny and useless allies of the US don’t send their ships into the Persian Gulf (should be named Gulf of Trump anyway, but I digress) to become more juicy targets for Iranian drones.

  17. ‘We chose this moment to start this by bombing them from a safe distance, but you should be the ones to put boots on the ground and do the dying by the thousands, it’s not even really our fight.’

    Your President of Peace, ladies and gentlemen.

    This is the part of the process where Republicans “forget” that they’re responsible for something happening, and start blaming the Democrats for it instead.

    And their loyal idiots lap it up.
