You need more illustrations, lil’ buddy?

You know, just last night I was watching the fights on Paramount and was genuinely impressed that the US has a President that’s a fight fan and goes to the shows. It made me slightly nostalgic for a time about six years ago when I didn’t despise Trump more than anyone who’s ever lived. I didn’t hear any boos, but the reception that he received didn’t seem to be anywhere near as boisterous as at previous times. What amazed me was that somebody cue’d up Sabbath’s “War Pigs” on the sound system. That guy is the real hero.

My thing is this… we had a nuclear treaty with Iran and Trump tore it up in 2018 because it was Obama’s, not Trump’s own. Fast forward to 2026, and things were rocking along smoothly enough, even after we bombed Iran’s nuclear “capabilities.” That wasn’t enough for President “I-Can-Destroy-Any-Country-That-I-Want.” Drunk on power from his illegal attack and ransacking of Venezuela, he made the stupid decision to launch an unprovoked attack on Iran, and now he can’t come up with a plan to extricate the US from the mess he’s made. Just today he announced that the US is going to blockade the Hormuz because it’s not fair for Iran to make money selling out to people that they like and not selling people that they (Iran) doesn’t like… as if we didn’t just steal all of those tankers of oil from Venezuela, demand that the world not sell oil to Cuba, etc. Trump is piece of crap who is in a situation that is so far beyond his capabilities, and the true comedy is that his fanboys think this all some big plan. If the world wants to pay Iran a toll to cruise by the Hormuz, and we don’t need the oil anyways according to Trump, what’s the big deal? The big deal is that the fat baby isn’t getting his way. He’s sitting in a dirty diaper and he ain’t happy. At last check he’s threading to murder another level of Iranian leadership because this new level isn’t giving in, either. In less than six months, Trump and MAGA has completely normalized the kidnapping and murder of the leaders of countries with whom we disagree. I can’t WAIT for the crying that starts when some little country sends a team over here to assassinate some of our politicians… especially since our politician (especially the Rs) seem to be so cool with the practice these days. This isn’t America anymore.

Just curious… what do you expect this to do to the price of WTI?

He knows what he wants, but this time he’s not getting it like he felt like it would happen, and he’s obviously out of his element. Trump: “open the Strait of Hormuz!” Them: “No.” Trump: “I really mean it! Open it up!” Them: “answer is still no.” Trump: “then I’m going to close the Strait of Hormuz, too!!!” Them, laughing: “ok.” Eye roll emoji. How is this hurting Iran or forcing them to the table? He literally doesn’t know that he’s doing. The rest of the world knows it, too. Lil’ Donny T is getting his behind spanked like he did by Joe Biden.

Hey, how do you feel about this statement now that Trump is promising to blockade the Hormuz? I’ll bet it changed, lol. You’d better start asking what you’re supposed to believe before you state your beliefs, but remain ready to switch stances within a few hours of his Fatness demands it. MAGA has no beliefs of their own, only what Daddy thinks.

[Hidden Content] Your bias wont allow your brain to comprehend it, though, Mr “My-Interpretation-of-Legal-Opinions.”

Y’all didn’t have a problem with naval blockades back in December. so spineless. [Hidden Content]

My thing is this… i call out Trump and his minions over his well-documented history as a sexual assailant. They tell me that it doesn’t matter. But those same people turn around and make posts like this when a Democrat does something. I thought it didn’t matter? What you’re actually saying is “rape doesnt matter if I like a particular rapist.” I’m not over here defending swalwell. I hope that ALL rapists get what they have coming to them, and think that none of them deserve my vote. You don’t feel that way. That’s the mark of a man. He stands for what he believes in. Other types of people have flexible standards, based on the assailant’s political beliefs. That’s not a man.
-
[Hidden Content] flip-flip dog? I don’t remember your outrage with the uber-Christian Secretary of War admitting to paying settlements to women he’d drugged and raped.
-
Calling Republicans Nazis=bad Calling Democrats Communists =okay Trump proven to rape women=no problem, if she’s not my wife or daughter…has my vote. Swalwell simply accused of rape= This man should be in PRISON!
-
Hell, if he’d switch parties you’d vote for him and buy his merch.
-
I think it doesn’t matter. Nobody will ever pay a price for what they’ve done. Trump would pardon them, anyways. He protects fellow rapists and pedos.

They were following orders.

I completely believe that if we’d have been quiet about Epstein, Trump wouldn’t have invaded Iran to distract us from Epstein, we’d still have 2.50 gas, a couple hundred billion in munitions, and look a lot less like global chumps getting pantsed by Iran.
-
He’s an idiot. He literally hired a newscaster who had previously achieved the rank of MAJOR in the Army National guard to lead all of the generals in the military, rebranded the department of defense as the department of war, knocked over Venezuela, then stepped in poopoo over in Iraq. “The last five presidents WISHED they’d taken care of Iran, but only Trump was bold enough to do it! MAGA!” No, he was the only one dumb enough to try. it is completely within our first amendment right to call out incompetence in our elected leaders.

I don’t have the answers… but to claim that “we won” when Iran is still firmly in control of Hormuz is just not being honest. And demanding that they open it immediately isn’t going to do the trick, either. We’re not in control of the bargaining on this one, and everybody knows it… Trump, too, at this point. We either come to the table and accept some of their terms, or we’ve got to go the opposite route and do whatever it takes to end them. But I’m afraid we’ll find ourselves fresh out of friends (other than Israel) if we nuke them or start trying to actually take control of the country via land attacks. The damage is this… the Iranians were a bunch of blowhard Islamic radicals who were getting close to having nuclear devices until we tore them up again last year. But they weren’t “days away from having a nuclear weapon” this time. Trump thought he could punch them very hard and they’d quit. In fact, they’ve just been lying on the ropes and letting us blow through munitions, while simultaneously causing economic pain to us and the rest of the world. We’re kind of out of goodwill with most of our allies at this point. It’ll be neat to see what happens if this thing drags on. Trump has been pretty silent since the ceasefire fell apart… my guess is that he’s trying really hard to get Israel to agree to lay off of Lebanon. If Israel won’t agree to stop hostilities, we’ve got to see where we land. It’ll be interesting to see if Trump starts banging on Israel in the next day or so. Unfortunately, even through their military infrastructure is in tatters, Iran has gained a lot of “clout” through all of this. We now know for certain that they can’t be bombed into submission, and that they can, and will shut down Hormuz to get what they want. I see them as strengthened by our attack.

You’re dreaming, brother. The strait is closed because Iran says it is. There hasn’t been a single US warship even try to make a pass through there because they know that they’d be sitting ducks for Iran’s remaining missiles and drones. We quite simply cannot take control of the strait without owning the ground alongside it, and that would take boots on the ground. It was well known before this excursion was started, but Trump believed that our weapons would scare the Iranians into giving up. It did the opposite. We’re fighting a military was and they’re fighting an economic one. And for reference, you’re abjectly wrong. Our carriers go through the strait of Hormuz anytime they want. That’s what’s so irritating about the sheople eating up the whole “we have air and sea control” when it’s obviously a lie. Send a few frigates up there and see what happens. It’s why every day the White House spokespeople are like “the strait isn’t closed… we’ve got reports that Iran allowed two tankers to pass through yesterday.” So why aren’t we floating around out there opening the thing up? Our navy would get pieced up in the Strait. credit Google Yes, U.S. Navy aircraft carriers routinely transit the Strait of Hormuz to enter and exit the Persian Gulf as part of routine patrols and to project power in the Middle East, often accompanied by carrier strike groups. Notable recent transits include the USS Abraham Lincoln (2019, 2012) and USS Dwight D. Eisenhower(2023).

No, sir… Pakistan confirmed that the Iranian demand that all attacks their allies (in Lebanon, etc.) was in the ceasefire agreement. [Hidden Content] Basically put, Iran says hostilities against all of us must stop, we agreed, but then Israel said “no, we don’t agree to a ceasefire, and you don’t speak for us, Fatso” before hitting Lebanon harder than ever. So now Trump is like “well, that’s between Israel and Lebanon, but you’d better open that strait” and Iran is like “I guess we don’t have a ceasefire after all.” A better question is, why does Trump keep saying that we have “full control over air and sea” but the strait is still closed? Donnie’s lying again, and you’re lapping it all up and asking for seconds. Send a carrier through the strait and see what happens.

Then Trump lied about there being a ceasefire.

As I’m watching the events of today, it’s clear to me that Israel hitting Lebanon 100 times in 10 minutes today, their most aggressive attack of the war, wasn’t a message for Lebanon. It was a message for us. This isn’t over until Israel’s objectives are reached… mix in the fact that Iran feels the same way, it doesn’t matter that we want out-it’s not up to us. Add to that the fact that Trump is attacking NATO again today because they didn’t assist in Trump’s unprovoked attack on Iran, and we’re bordering on a lot of real problems. He started talking about taking Greenland again this afternoon. When is enough gonna be enough?
-
This war is in its third month and there’s no signs that it will be over soon. Ol “Art of the Deal” doesn’t work when you’re playing big boy games. I don’t see how we can extract ourselves. If we just packed up and came home, they’re still not opening up the Hormuz. They’re going to force Trump to put up or shut up, and if he does the types of things he’s talking about doing to a country that hasn’t dropped the first bomb on us? The world is getting ready to take us down a peg or two, I’m afraid.
-
It was number ten on Iran’s list of ten. Israel didn’t agree, apparently. [Hidden Content] It’s there. You can find it anywhere. But Trump was willing to do anything to get his big fat behind out of this mess and he should have talked to Bibi first.
-
Yes, it was.
