To think that in the interest of electoral fairness, we let this guy be president again instead of putting him in a prison for life where he absolutely belongs.
To any democratic strategists out there who might be reading my post, if you want my attention, start getting your candidate to talk loudly and often about how they will punish Trump and every single member of his administration on Day 1. Lifetime prison sentences for Epstein related coverups. Hangings for treason, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Lengthy prison sentences for fraudsters who are insider trading and former DOGE staffers. Restitution to be paid back to the American taxpayers for the theft and embezzlement of tax dollars. Anything less that that is a mockery of justice.
Lol but Democratic strategists don't want to win, they just want to have plausible deniability against the claim that they're trying not to win. Their real goal is to figure out how to convince people they're incompetent. Your strategy would make people actually vote for them, after which they'd be expected to follow through on those policies which would hurt their donors. Even if they did do that they'd have to go back to playing incompetent while in power to make sure it didn't happen
I wish someone would shut him up.
Before announcing talks that aren't happening, agreements that weren't agreed and declaring himself the saviour and the paragon of peace
MAGA is dragging the USA down to the low level of Vlad's Fucked Up Russia.
vlad's fucked up russia is just america again. Guess where yeltsin was a few days before the perestroika.
Count on americans to coup countries and then whine about fascists being in power there.
I think they have done it. For me it was the loss of a us awacs plane last month, a thing that we made fun of russia for not a few years ago. The us of a is not in a good place militarily right now, with big issues with both equipment and moral that is very much underplayed.

So stupid, "we're going to blow up innocent iranians i stg!!'
"Oh you mean those annoying protestors we were killing before you interrupted us?"
lmao they killed 30000 people according to the people that bombed them two weeks later.
Now they're in a better place with saddam's weapons of mass destruction, hamas raped babies and the german reichtag. I heard sometime they get a visit from tupac
how guillible can you be
Yep. We need to kill them, otherwise they might die!
As Trump liked to say to his opponents, he doesn’t have the cards.
I mean.....he's the one that controls earths largest supply of nukes. He has the cards. It's just a matter of if the order will be followed.
Trumps bladder needs to blow up.
No nukes! Somebody please stop that idiot from using nukes!!
Everyone and his dog will be getting a nuclear weapon if that happens. The future of humanity will be very bleak indeed.
Israel would rather rule over Hell on Earth before admitting defeat and facing international scrutiny for real this time
If they use one they are going to very quickly become the first nation made entirely of glass.
will be
That's future tense. I think you mean "has been since 1945"
What do you mean? Nukes ensure stability, do you think anyone would attack a nuclear Iran?
Nukes mean not using them.
John Kiriakou (ex CIA whistleblower) mentioned in an interview that Israel threatened to use a nuke in the 12 day war last June which prompted Trump to bomb Fordow and Natanz with B2 bombers.
Zionist fanatic Sheldon Adelson advocated nuking Iran a few years ago. Zionist war criminal Ben Gvir was asked on israeli TV why they haven't used a neutron bomb on Iran yet and he grinned.
Theres a real danger that Netanyahu uses a nuke or orders Trump to do it given the Zionists 30 year desire to destroy Iran. Trump is just a puppet.
President tantrum has spoken
No longer does the country collectively agree to push forward on war. Now it's just one guy who triggers very easily. WTF!?
Could you imagine if a female was president. Just running everything on feelings and emotions.
And that one guy is Netanyahu
It's not just 1 guy, it's most of the current administration. And 84% of the people that voted for Trump, still stand by their vote!!

Always has been
“we’re blowing up the entire country.”
What country is that? USA?
For those not aware, Trump is actively destroying USA not Iran.
For every escalation USA is just making it worse for themselves.
Which one is it? 4th time?
so let me get this straight. Just so I'm clear, it's unfair when Iran blockades. But when dumpy does it to cuba, that's perfectly fine?
There's no salvation for this man. I hope someone stops him, and my thoughts are with civilians of the region.

Imo he has been looking for any excuse to launch a nuclear bomb since he first became president. I don't even think he cares why, how, or who he ends up using it on, even if it's his own people. As long as he gets to use his ultimate power as president and press that big button. And as long as he isn't personally affected he won't even give it a second thought.
I firmly believe he WILL nuke someone before his term is up if nobody stops him. I firmly believe people have already stopped him before.
