"In order to get elected BarackObama will start a war with Iran" - Trump, Nov 29, 2011
"BarackObama will attack Iran to get re-elected." - Trump, Jan 17, 2012
"Now that Obama's poll numbers are in tailspin - watch for him to launch a strike on Libya or Iran. He is desperate." - Trump, Oct 9, 2012
"I predict that President Obama will at some point start a war with Iran in order to save face!" - Trump, Sept 16, 2013
Wars should be fought by their leaders, not their citizens.
Imagine a king who fights his own battles. Wouldn’t that be a sight.

“Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor”
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'til their judgement day comes, yeah
The problem is, for most of them, their judgement day never comes. And sadly I do not think the states are going to pull out of this one on their own.

Evergreen, and written by someone with unimpeachable credentials wrt war.
He's literally paraphrasing Farquaad at this point.
"Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make!"
I wonder if he'd be a better person if he'd seen Shrek as a child. I know Shrek is Dreamworks, but has anyone tried sitting him down and showing him Pixar's catalogue? Maybe something humane will click... I'd start with Inside Out, and then maybe freak him out a bit with Up.
Who am I kidding, he'd probably walk away in the end thinking "What was the point of that? I'm already trying to do Wall-E."
You think Trump could follow an entire film without falling asleep?
I doubt it
I'm ashamed he's my president but I'm more ashamed that a significant number of my fellow Americans don't just tolerate his words and behavior, they fully and enthusiastically support them.
You're not responsible for being born on the same plot of land as a bunch of morons you don't even know
Thank you for this. I hope the rest of humanity sees it your way when this is over.
Many won't. And that is understandable. But our only hope for the Star Trek future I've wanted since a kid is international solidarity among average people, regardless of what their stupid governments do.
Unfortunately, I know some of these morons. They were removed from my circle of friends.
I also have "lost" "friends" because they couldn't pull their heads out of their asses.
It's funny how many on the far right are doing the reactionary centrist pikachu face over normal Americans cutting them off. They act like it's the liberals that are being unreasonable.
I just saw a clip of that dumbass Watters complaining about this phenomenon. Do they really think they have some kind of right to be the very worst of people and others are supposed to invite them over to their houses for things like Thanksgiving? Or that women have to not only date them, but consider them marriage material?
They like to pretend they are being cut off for merely being "conservative", as if it was just about something like deregulation and tax policy. If that being "conservative" didn't include so many truly gross things like misogyny and nativism and xenophobia and xtian theocracy and racism and so on, I doubt anyone would cut them off socially.
People are so tired of their shit and the fact that it has personal consequences for them makes them so mad.
Slop
How can he betray the ideals of the FIFA Peace Prize and the Bored of Peace so easily?!
FIFA is so corrupt they are probably helping to fund this.
he is really going for the gold on that list of "absolute fucking dumbest thing i could possibly do" every week
That's just his normal list
The pedo sack of shit and his thugs strike again by murdering innocent people and wasting billions from the US treasury. All this shit to distract from the Epstein files.
It's not just to distract from the Epstein files, that's a sweet little benefit of course, but it's mainly just a continuation of the exact same US imperialism that has been ignored for nearly a century. They didn't need Epstein files to invade Afghanistan, or Iraq, or any of the dozens of nations subjected to US interventionism. The Epstein class have been fucking all of us over for decades, they just enjoy it with kids more.
In a letter regarding that snub, Trump wrote to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre in January that “considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace.”
This is revolting, we are fucked. What a weenie
...he knows the Nobel Committee is a private entity right?
i think he's pretty clearly demonstrated he doesn't understand the Nobel committee even a little bit
Imagine dying to protect a paedo from the repercussions of his many decades of raping children.
Here lies Chad DudeMcHamburger.
Blown to pieces in Iran for a person who didn't, and still doesn't, give a shit about anyone, even his own children.
Rest in peace knowing that you were a distraction from the kiddie fiddling for a few days.
RIP.
He doesn’t care because his family is not fighting in it.
Yup. Black Sabbath is right again.
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Go and die for your overlords then. Fucking disgrace of a country and I hope we fail.
Send the maga maggots first
Many of them are in the military. I feel bad for the members that aren't and just want to finish their enlistment or retire.
But, but, but "peace president"!
He literally said, “Fuck it and fuck all y’all. No peace prize? No peace!”
Bone spurs are actually a VERY common Medical Discharge with Full Benefits from Boot Camp. My division alone had around 12% of the recruits develop bone spurs from marching with full rucksacks. This was the Navy, I can't even imagine how bad it is in the Army and Marines. That being said, we know what causes it in young people. Excessive marching. I seriously doubt that Drumpf was even in marching band. (I was in marching band, and thought those marching drills were excessive, until I got to Boot Camp.)
It bring a common discharge reason was probably specifically why that diagnosis was used. As with most things, he didn't learn enough about it to make the lie convincing, i.e. he'd have to show up to boot and actually do something for a bit in order to get them.
Can someone explain to me why the Trump administration isn't afraid of a military coup?
This may seem surface-level but . . .
Pick any base. You cannot visit the NEX, gym, medical, dental, squadron spaces, offices, or any other similar space on base without seeing Fox or similar Conserv卐tive propaganda playing 24/7.
The military minds are perfectly programmed with this shit.
The military is 95% Trump supporters
Yes, but that's a price he's perfectly willing to pay. Until the country in question bends the knee to the new emperor orangue - Lord President Trumpsky will slaughter as many people as he needs, American, enemy, doesn't matter... it's a money thing. Has nothing to do with countries - people like trump think they're above countries.
I hear he's going to start up the draft again. They need bodies to toss into the mulching machine. 18 (or earlier) to 40 eligible for the draft. Hillbilly shitkicking goat roping jerkoffs welcome of any age. You old fat guys make good sand bags.
