Your views, thoughts or simply opinions. The Economy is not well (understatement). I know there are some here that will try to link the country they are residing in as problems of the USA. Sorry the USA cannot be responsible for 100% of the problems in the world nor should they be expected to help repair all problems.
Well the liberals about had a wet dream it seems, Another attempt on Trump, not sure whats going on. some kind of shindig, only registered users can see external links
AHHH! Now it makes sense, THIS IS why the homeland security money is frozen, to make it easier to kill our President!!! Damn,
`They were worried it would hurt them in the midterms and after the 1st term/
If you look in the history I do not have any respect for any president democrate or republican in this time frame. Reagon had plans to work on this but when the deep state tried to kill him he started to change his agenda. He won 1984 in a landslide because his opponent sucked.. The bushes were dispicable human beings, both of them, Obama we both agree on him, and of course Joe bastard Biden who cheated and wrecked our country. He gave Israel the ultimatum of surrendering to hamas or face abandonment. All up to this point was just terrible leadership and you can see our inflation of prices from 1973 to the present being puppets of the central banks..
BUT,,, This president means business and cannot be bought out so they have tried to impeach him many times resorting to attenpted assassinations,,, I know this one is the real deal.. I never voted until after Trump finished his first primary in 2015...
I registered to vote so I could help George bush get in the second time after 9-11, I thought he was going to finally deal with the middle east and the world could rest but apparently he was threatened or something happened because once he got in he just kinda fumbled it all. the middle east has been at war for centurys, blow it to hell so it will settle down
The whole scene of hate is staged for the central banks which has been in control since 1913.. Compare the wars in the 19th century with the wars after 1913.. It's all staged.
George W. Bush all he did was cause sensless wars while moving all our jobs overseas. I considered him the absolute enemy of our constitution.
The entire area should have been conquered after 1979 and under US rule or at least with a government that doesn't support terrorism like irans does.
later edit, liberals all over the world tend to believe that suddenly, just overnight, that a few words will convince those folks in the middle east to just get along and be happy and sell us oil and we will sell them wheat and corn and beef.
it don't work that way, they want our goods, and they also want to take our lives and everything that makes life worth living, those people are sick, they butcher their women so they can't enjoy sex and you think they are going to be peaceful loving to us or to you? yea right!
Russia already tried that. Didn't you know?
Their actions, combined with the actions of the US, resulted in that Islamist terrorism. Before that, it was just civil war, religious wars, political conflicts and conflicts over territory, just like everywhere else in the world.
Besides the nonsense idea that Islam will result in terrorism by necessity,
the complete lack of morality of you suggesting to subjugate the whole of the
Middle East, is stunning. What makes you think you have the right?
Then there is the complete lack of practical thinking. If you add up the land area of countries where Islam is the dominant religion (North Africa, the Middle East, parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, and much of Central & Southeast Asia), you get roughly 30–35 million km². That's about 3 to 3.5 times the land area of the U.S (~9.8 million km²).
Globally, there are about 1.9 to 2.0 billion Muslims today. How do you suggest the US keeps them all under control? They outnumber you 6 to 1.
You have a real strange idea about liberals? No one thinks what you are saying. It just takes a right-wing brain to think that you can improve how they feel about you, by bombing their families to death and putting their countries in utter chaos. Living under tyranny isn't fun (although some of you seem to think it's great), but it's better than chaos. Every time your country tries to wage war on terror, you are creating the exact breeding ground for it. You eliminate the little stability they have, and make the people who lost their loved ones hate you.
You ridicule the lack of solutions from liberals, but at least liberals and lefties don't make the problems so much bigger, like your side does.
It also costs a fuck ton of money; Trump has recently proposed a U.S. defense budget of about $1.5 trillion per year, which is roughly a 40–50% increase over the current budget. When is someone asking: "How are you going to pay for that?"?
Um, what gave them the right to fly high jacked planes into our towers in 2001?
Um,what gave them the right to damage a war ship the USS Cole, on 12 October 2000,
What gave them the right to bomb the trade center in 1993?
Do I go on?
The US has invested billions in the middle east to harvest the oil and the folks profit from it handsomely, but yet they hate us and want to kill us. and you ask what give ms the right to think we should bomb them? I would rather not, but as I always say, the liberals don't have a better solution other than give them some money and kick the can down the road.well we have come to a cross roads,and it is time to shit or get off the pot.
'Them' have not all committed terrorism against you.
I keep trying to make you understand how YOUR OWN ACTIONS
have resulted in so much hate that people commit suicide to kill you.
Mostly, so you stop supporting those same mistakes again and again.
OMG! THE US IS STEALING THEIR OIL!!! Are you gaslighting or actually this ignorant?
The only people who are paid handsomely are the dictator friends of the US.
The people of those countries are living in horrible poverty.
The US has toppled leaders who shared some of the oil profit,
and propped up dictators who control their people with violence and religion.
Behind your back, those dictators are BLAMING YOU for their poverty.
Everything happening in that regions WAS CAUSED BY THE US (and Israel).
The US would have the right to fix your own problem, but you don't; everything you have been doing is making the hate breeding ground even more fertile. The people of Iran asked you to topple their government, because it is legitimately evil.
Have you done that? NO!!! The same evil regime is still in power. You have killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and left it in the hands of son Mojtaba Khamenei,
WHO IS WORSE!!
Meanwhile, you have killed a school full of children and bombed large parts of Tehran. What do the Iranian people think of your president, when he has threatened to blow up all the bridges and says: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.”?
Do you think they trust the US more now?
You have left them with a worse dictator, who will probably have to defend
his power from adversaries with lots of violence, lots of dead loved ones,
and a country in economic stress. They will only be worse off, AND THEY WILL OBVIOUSLY BLAME THE US FOR ALL OF THAT.
it is not up to me how the money paid for oil is distributed to the people of the country. I would think Irainans work in the oil fields, drawing a wage, therefore getting some good from it. I doubt they are enslaved .
It's just one of the many things to consider when you VOTE.
If you want peace and stability in the world, you vote for
representatives who care about how corporations treat people.
An oil field shouldn't just giving some money to their employees.
It's the natural resource of that country, and therefore it should greatly benefit
the people of that country, instead of the billionaires of some foreign country.
Why do you care that American farms are owned by Americans, and not China?
Same thing! One difference; the US used force to try to fully exploit Iran,
while China is just buying up what your own system sells them.
That's your own ideology turning against you.
Either you support greedy capitalism, which means that you shouldn't care when China buys your farms. And why China? They own only 1% of that foreign owned land. Canada owns 33% of it. Here is the list:
Canada – by far the largest (~33% of all foreign-held land)
Netherlands – second largest (~10–12%)
Italy – around 6–7%
United Kingdom – about 5–6%
Germany – about 5–6%
So why are you only worried when it's China?
When American farms go bankrupt, someone buys up the property.
Buyers can include several groups:
- Nearby farmers
- Individual investors (like Bill Gates)
- Institutional investors (Private Equity, multiple Bill Gates)
- Agricultural companies
- Foreign investors
If you only want family farmers to own farmland, you are NOT a 'capitalist'.
If you do think that capitalism hurts people you care about, why don't you extend that insight to the rest of the world? People getting hurt in other countries will always have an effect that comes back to hurt you. Iran is just one of the many examples. Another is immigrants; when capitalism hurts whole groups of people, they are not going to passively suffer their exploitation. Many of them will find a better place to live. I would say that they are justified to go to the place where the benefits of their former exploitation ends up.
The exploitation doesn't end up with YOU, because you are just Working Class who is exploited too, but that's the result of your Owner Class. You care about illegals, but the Owner Class don't. For them they are cheap labor. When they prop up Trump, they know he's not going to take their cheap labor away, because IF it's not illegals, they will just make the American people as cheap as they want. Haven't you noticed?
Apparently, American people are NOT cheap enough, so they make robots.
The American people will need to become very cheap to compete with robots.
This is how capitalism works; it definitely creates prosperity, but it always does it at the cost of others, because it's exploitative by design. The benefits always mostly flow to the top, and it always leave the rest with losses and damage.
It is a scourge on humanity and nature. Humanity either choses to improve on capitalism, or it WILL destroy humanity.
robots will save the world from people to lazy to work.
I was reading something yesterday about factory's in india putting cameras on workers so AI could learn their job's, apparently even the indian people are getting to lazy to work.I don't know how you expect anyone to be able to profit from investments with your system. investing in anything is worthless to the investor if they can't profit.
and besides, iranians can't eat their oil, so they need to sell it. they don't have what it takes to get it out of the ground, so investors come in and put the wells in. why is that so hard to understand. --------------------------------------- added after 6 hours

1 thing is for sure, you can't exploit workers if you don't have any! Ai and robotics is going to really be a big benefit to man kind. No workers, big savings for company's and investors. Just being rid of workers comp insurance and salary's will allow most companies to double their profits!
No dumb-ass, people are NOT too lazy to work, they just want to be DECENTLY PAID for their work, so they can LIVE on their income.
How will the world be saved from robots putting people out of work?
Where will people get the money to LIVE?
In your bottom paragraph you exactly showed the problem; double profits for companies, nothing for workers. Don't you understand why that is a problem? Maybe you understand it this way: who is going to buy the products of those companies, if PEOPLE are replaced by robots?
Iran had a GDP of about $430 billion and a debt of about 30–40% of GDP.
They don't need investors to get oil out of the ground.
Ananas, there is a reason for some of things we are taught when we are young.
Did you ever hear about the goose that laid the golden egg?
Folks got greedy and wanted all the gold at once and killed the goose and got NOTHING.
Well, for several 100 years folks have worked jobs, got a wage and supported themselves. for several 100 years some do it successfully and some haven't. Trying to live way above 1's means can prompt failure in this endeavor.
Once robots make things and do things people once did for a fair wage but constantly failed to take care of themselves because of bad choices will finally see, Oops, now we have NOTHING.and mankind will go thru a reset. People will bash the robots with clubs and beg for their jobs and wages back and learn to take care of themselves on the wages paid. They will learn about performance and production based pay scales instead of "Hey I want more money" .
Now who does story about the golden eggs remind me of?
People who enjoyed liberal democracy, with a sprinkle of socialism,
but then let Republicans replace it with plutocracy?
In a democracy, the people decide who benefits from robot technology.
They will either starve, or they will learn that billionaires were not elected
to rule the people.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed… with certain unalienable Rights…
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
Look at history of the type of 'reset' that resulted from that.
I suggest you look at France, around 1794.
Do you pick the side of King Louis XVI or of the people?
“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it…”
Are the "people" really smart enough to know what is best for them? Some of us like yourself and myself have some education and can look at what is out there and decide what is best for ourselves but the majority, eh, I wouldn't trust the run of the mill democrat like Cat for example, with my future at all. I would have nothing and would be to doped up to not know any better.
Billionaires, investors, business men,have knowledge the average person does not have,or they would not be where they are.
I will have to do some googleing tonight when I have more time, don't know alot about kings and such from europe except they behead their wives for not having boys and such
That was Henry VIII, but he was actually King of England, not France.
Please do, because ignorance about the past results in people who make history repeat itself.
"Are the "people" really smart enough to know what is best for them?"
You're arguing against the foundational statement of American ideals.
Remember when Republican wrapped themselves in the United States Declaration of Independence and The United States Constitution?
You are now using it as toilet paper.
And then you are aggrieved when millions of TRUE AMERICANS
have NO KINGS protests.
He is ACTING like a king. He had the Supreme Court make him immune, and he is doing everything he wants with Executive powers, while a spineless minute majority in Congress is letting him do it.
It's the job of Congress to legislate, and it's the job of Congress
to declare war, because Congress should represent the people,
not the president. At least not in your Constitutional democracy.
When you are saying:
"Are the "people" really smart enough to know what is best for them?",
that's you supporting a dictatorship, over democracy.
"Yes, the President of the United States takes a constitutionally mandated oath to defend the country. According to Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution, the president swears to "faithfully execute the Office of President" and to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States". "

"One of the most important roles for the President of the United States is that of Commander in Chief. Acting in this capacity, the President finds themselves ultimately responsible for the safety and security of the United States and its citizens."
So we elected him to be President, and he is doing his job. Iran has been known a threat for decades since president Carter,A good man but lousy president. Trump is finally taking the steps needed to insure Americas safety in the future and he IS DOING HIS JOB>
Read above links and info.
I heard Isreal is asking for France to help in the war, to help teach iran how to surrender!
Taking a oath doesn't guarantee that he does it. Trump has disrespected his oath in many ways. His administration is checking off all amendments to violate one by one or all at the same time.
Interesting story: During his second oath on January 20, 2025, he did not place his hand on the Bible. Personally, I don't care, because Christians are lying their pants off just as easily, but it seems like there is some part of Trump who believes in some form of god. If he didn't care, he wouldn't talk about probably not getting into heaven. That makes it a red flag to me, when a person like that doesn't swear ON the bible. He might be thinking that breaking that oath would send him to hell for sure. He's very much aware that he is breaking his oath.
I'm guessing you are referring to Clinton not asking approval from Congress. True, he didn't, but the scale of Kosovo (1999) was far less than Iran now. He was not attacking a country and the operation was decided collectively by NATO members.
Haiti cannot be called a 'war' by any stretch of the imagination.
And the UN Security Council authorized the intervention.
Iraq was just a continuation of what Bush before him started.
At least Bush had Formal congressional authorization. Clinton relied on earlier Gulf War authorization + UN resolutions. It was also just limited air/missile strikes, not a new war.
Nothing that Clinton did was anything close to what Trump started.
And he didn't run on NOT DOING EXACTLY THAT.
Russia has been an actual nuclear threat for decades. It never resulted in nuclear war, because that would be suicide. Every action of Iran in the past decades shows that they prioritize self preservation in the exact same way.
Trump is NOT doing his job. He is going against everything he promised. Even on 'the illegals' he is failing. The people he is deporting are mostly not the illegals that he was talking about. Where are those 20 million criminals and rapists? At best he deported ~700,000 immigrants and most of them were never arrested for any violent offense. Most of them were in the immigration process and most of them were working and paying taxes and getting nothing back. You might think that's a succes, but he has passed NO IMMIGRATION REFORM LAWS. When he was running for president, he had his cronies block the BIPARTISAN immigration bill, and since then he has done NOTHING to come up with something better. Doing his job also means making sure Congress is doing their job, but under Trump they have been pretty damn useless. Both Obama and Biden had a higher success-rate, while having much more resistance in Congress.
Understand that all Trump's executive orders can be eliminated with a stoke of the pen, by the next president. That means that Trump is NOT doing what you elected him for. It makes me happy that he and his regime are so damn incompetent, but it should annoy you.
No country in Europe is still interested to listen to Israel, because
we all see who the worst aggressor in the region is; they are.
They are just in it to take more land.
No country in Europe is still interested to listen to Israel, because
we all see who the worst aggressor in the region is; they are.
They are just in it to take more land.
Fuck you..
How fucking stupid are you..1967 they beat 5 countries.. Not from being aggressive but being defensive and the 1973 Yom Kippur war,,,West Bank, Egypt Gaza Jordan, Syria, Lebannon. is its legal right to claim.. You fucking no good piece of shit.. I will shit on your page every 150 points.
What led up to the war:
In May 1967, Gamal Abdel Nasser moved Egyptian troops into the Sinai Peninsula.
Egypt expelled UN peacekeepers who had been stationed between Egypt and Israel.
Egypt then closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli shipping (Israel had previously said this would be considered an act of war).
Egypt, Jordan, and Syria formed military agreements, and rhetoric about confronting Israel intensified.
Who fired first:
On June 5, 1967, Israel launched a preemptive air strike against Egypt’s air force, destroying much of it on the ground.
This is generally considered the first major military action of the war, so in that narrow sense, Israel “started” the shooting.
Israel has been murdering Palestinians and stealing their houses and land for decades. They had walls around Gaza with snipers on guard towers killing children any time they felt like it. Then when it leads to a terrorist attack, to use it to do a complete genocide. When this leads to anger and action from Hezbollah, they use that to bomb citizens and steal land from Libanon.
They are fucking Nazi's!
Modern international law prohibits acquiring territory by force.
By international law, Israel is guilty of war crimes.
Sure, if Trump can get rid of that horrible regime, I'll applaud it.
It was Bush who attacked Iraq over lies, not Obama and Hillary.
It was also Obama who finally found and killed Bin Laden.
If you don't know that you're lying, your completely messed up.
Why do you want Iran to have a constitutional democracy, while Trump is destroying yours?
I see Trump threatening to bomb bridges and power-plants. Not only is that a war crime, because that's attacking CITIZENS, it will NOT stabilize Iran for it's citizens,
it will return their country to the stone age. How do you expect a stone age country
to create a constitutional democracy?
It's all nonsense, because this war is NOT about freeing the people of Iran,
this is ONLY intended to rid Israel of their enemy, so they can conquer all the land that they think of as the promised land.
Please stop with that nonsense; no regime ever wanted to commit suicide.
Powerful people send gullible people to die for them, even the most extreme Islamists. That's what religion is intended for. It's time you learn that.
Religious leaders use religion to STAY IN POWER.
Being vaporized doesn't help them do that.
Even if they hide in a bunker, there is nothing left after to stay in power over.
Look at the amount of lies that you gaslight yourself into believing
to keep supporting a conman who is going against everything he promised.
Well, you just keep on being naive ,you are more apt to be affected by the radiation than me when their shit fails and doesn't go where they intend it to.
It's definitely not COMMON sense, because most people in the world hate him
and in your country his ratings are historically weak for a modern president at this stage.
It's a cult. Your love for the man is unconditional, and that's STUPID.
That's you not understanding democracy. You're supposed to be critical
of all your elected representatives.
If the 'one's with common sense love him', why didn't he get them then?
I'll answer it; because he likes people who don't have any principles.
Have you seen JD Vance lately? This is what he was doing in the shadows;
Pushing a case called "National Republican Senatorial Committee v. FEC." towards
the U.S. Supreme Court.
It is designed to eliminate the last Federal limits on “coordinated spending” between political parties and candidates.
Why these limits exist: To stop donors from bypassing individual donation caps by routing money through political parties.
It would basically make RANK CORRUPTION EVEN EASIER!
Even mainstream outlets like Reuters say this case would weaken campaign finance limits, and legal arguments warn it lets wealthy donors route money through parties to get around caps, making dark money influence even harder to control.

Answer me this: If Republicans think corruption is a problem, why is JD Vance pushing
to remove one of the LAST LIMITS on coordinated political money?
Why isn't Fox'News' shouting: "Why is JD Vance helping George Soros ?!?"
I know you would like to live under a dictator. I just don't understand why.
Have you ever seen a dictatorship where it is nice to live for the citizens?
The people in my country can’t agree on anything my government can’t agree on anything the democrats and the republicans will never work together so I believe the only way to get any thing done is one person who makes all the decisions and that person is Donald Trump
Wrong, the American people agree on a lot of things, by a large majority.
You just don't have it, because people like Trump don't want you to have it.
That's because your government has been serving the American people less
and serving wealthy assholes more and more, because of corruption.
Picking the exact type of person who has caused that problem, is not the answer.
Putting the fox in charge of the hen house is indeed getting things done,
he will eat them all in no time. The problem is; you're the hen.
You know TRUMP is going to be the next president of the Netherlands 🇳🇱 after he straightens out America 🇺🇸 then he will get you guys fixed up little buddy
Sorry bud, he's only going to do a lot more damage to the US
probably kill more Muslims, and then kick the bucket. He's on borrowed time.
He likes the Netherlands, because we have Rutte, and our King and Queen
sucking up to him. We are cheap-asses, we don't want to give him a plane.
Our gay PM is coming with them as the 'bad cop'. He suckered the most votes out of the people, promising he was any different than the right-wing corporate party, so he will get something from Trump.

We play Trump. Nothing he does helps you, he only cares about his ego.
Out of the White House and back to his Palm Beach club. The 25th amendment is for the removal of a deficient president from office, not to remove anyone from the country. You may be one of his people. I'm not.
I think Cat really wants him back in Florida to stay so he can run for governor in the next election once he is thru leading the country. MFGA, Make Florida Great again!
AHHH! Now it makes sense, THIS IS why the homeland security money is frozen, to make it easier to kill our President!!! Damn,

What exactly are you imagining?
later edit, liberals all over the world tend to believe that suddenly, just overnight, that a few words will convince those folks in the middle east to just get along and be happy and sell us oil and we will sell them wheat and corn and beef.
it don't work that way, they want our goods, and they also want to take our lives and everything that makes life worth living, those people are sick, they butcher their women so they can't enjoy sex and you think they are going to be peaceful loving to us or to you? yea right!

Another is immigrants; when capitalism hurts whole groups of people, they are not going to passively suffer their exploitation. Many of them will find a better place to live. I would say that they are justified to go to the place where the benefits of their former exploitation ends up.
The exploitation doesn't end up with YOU, because you are just Working Class who is exploited too, but that's the result of your Owner Class. You care about illegals, but the Owner Class don't. For them they are cheap labor. When they prop up Trump, they know he's not going to take their cheap labor away, because IF it's not illegals, they will just make the American people as cheap as they want. Haven't you noticed?
Apparently, American people are NOT cheap enough, so they make robots.
The American people will need to become very cheap to compete with robots.
This is how capitalism works; it definitely creates prosperity, but it always does it at the cost of others, because it's exploitative by design. The benefits always mostly flow to the top, and it always leave the rest with losses and damage.
It is a scourge on humanity and nature. Humanity either choses to improve on capitalism, or it WILL destroy humanity.
I was reading something yesterday about factory's in india putting cameras on workers so AI could learn their job's, apparently even the indian people are getting to lazy to work.I don't know how you expect anyone to be able to profit from investments with your system. investing in anything is worthless to the investor if they can't profit.
and besides, iranians can't eat their oil, so they need to sell it. they don't have what it takes to get it out of the ground, so investors come in and put the wells in. why is that so hard to understand.

1 thing is for sure, you can't exploit workers if you don't have any! Ai and robotics is going to really be a big benefit to man kind. No workers, big savings for company's and investors. Just being rid of workers comp insurance and salary's will allow most companies to double their profits!
How will the world be saved from robots putting people out of work?
Where will people get the money to LIVE?
In your bottom paragraph you exactly showed the problem; double profits for companies, nothing for workers. Don't you understand why that is a problem? Maybe you understand it this way: who is going to buy the products of those companies, if PEOPLE are replaced by robots?
Iran had a GDP of about $430 billion and a debt of about 30–40% of GDP.
They don't need investors to get oil out of the ground.
Did you ever hear about the goose that laid the golden egg?
Folks got greedy and wanted all the gold at once and killed the goose and got NOTHING.
Well, for several 100 years folks have worked jobs, got a wage and supported themselves. for several 100 years some do it successfully and some haven't. Trying to live way above 1's means can prompt failure in this endeavor.
Once robots make things and do things people once did for a fair wage but constantly failed to take care of themselves because of bad choices will finally see, Oops, now we have NOTHING.and mankind will go thru a reset. People will bash the robots with clubs and beg for their jobs and wages back and learn to take care of themselves on the wages paid. They will learn about performance and production based pay scales instead of "Hey I want more money" .

People who enjoyed liberal democracy, with a sprinkle of socialism,
but then let Republicans replace it with plutocracy?
In a democracy, the people decide who benefits from robot technology.
They will either starve, or they will learn that billionaires were not elected
to rule the people.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed… with certain unalienable Rights…
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
Look at history of the type of 'reset' that resulted from that.
I suggest you look at France, around 1794.
Do you pick the side of King Louis XVI or of the people?
“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it…”
Billionaires, investors, business men,have knowledge the average person does not have,or they would not be where they are.
Please do, because ignorance about the past results in people who make history repeat itself.
"Are the "people" really smart enough to know what is best for them?"
You're arguing against the foundational statement of American ideals.
Remember when Republican wrapped themselves in the United States Declaration of Independence and The United States Constitution?
You are now using it as toilet paper.
And then you are aggrieved when millions of TRUE AMERICANS
have NO KINGS protests.
It's the job of Congress to legislate, and it's the job of Congress
to declare war, because Congress should represent the people,
not the president. At least not in your Constitutional democracy.
When you are saying:
"Are the "people" really smart enough to know what is best for them?",
that's you supporting a dictatorship, over democracy.

"One of the most important roles for the President of the United States is that of Commander in Chief. Acting in this capacity, the President finds themselves ultimately responsible for the safety and security of the United States and its citizens."
So we elected him to be President, and he is doing his job. Iran has been known a threat for decades since president Carter,A good man but lousy president. Trump is finally taking the steps needed to insure Americas safety in the future and he IS DOING HIS JOB>
Read above links and info.
I heard Isreal is asking for France to help in the war, to help teach iran how to surrender!
Interesting story: During his second oath on January 20, 2025, he did not place his hand on the Bible. Personally, I don't care, because Christians are lying their pants off just as easily, but it seems like there is some part of Trump who believes in some form of god. If he didn't care, he wouldn't talk about probably not getting into heaven. That makes it a red flag to me, when a person like that doesn't swear ON the bible. He might be thinking that breaking that oath would send him to hell for sure. He's very much aware that he is breaking his oath.
I'm guessing you are referring to Clinton not asking approval from Congress. True, he didn't, but the scale of Kosovo (1999) was far less than Iran now. He was not attacking a country and the operation was decided collectively by NATO members.
Haiti cannot be called a 'war' by any stretch of the imagination.
And the UN Security Council authorized the intervention.
Iraq was just a continuation of what Bush before him started.
At least Bush had Formal congressional authorization. Clinton relied on earlier Gulf War authorization + UN resolutions. It was also just limited air/missile strikes, not a new war.
Nothing that Clinton did was anything close to what Trump started.
And he didn't run on NOT DOING EXACTLY THAT.
Russia has been an actual nuclear threat for decades. It never resulted in nuclear war, because that would be suicide. Every action of Iran in the past decades shows that they prioritize self preservation in the exact same way.
Trump is NOT doing his job. He is going against everything he promised. Even on 'the illegals' he is failing. The people he is deporting are mostly not the illegals that he was talking about. Where are those 20 million criminals and rapists? At best he deported ~700,000 immigrants and most of them were never arrested for any violent offense. Most of them were in the immigration process and most of them were working and paying taxes and getting nothing back. You might think that's a succes, but he has passed NO IMMIGRATION REFORM LAWS. When he was running for president, he had his cronies block the BIPARTISAN immigration bill, and since then he has done NOTHING to come up with something better. Doing his job also means making sure Congress is doing their job, but under Trump they have been pretty damn useless. Both Obama and Biden had a higher success-rate, while having much more resistance in Congress.
Understand that all Trump's executive orders can be eliminated with a stoke of the pen, by the next president. That means that Trump is NOT doing what you elected him for. It makes me happy that he and his regime are so damn incompetent, but it should annoy you.
No country in Europe is still interested to listen to Israel, because
we all see who the worst aggressor in the region is; they are.
They are just in it to take more land.
we all see who the worst aggressor in the region is; they are.

Fuck you..
How fucking stupid are you..1967 they beat 5 countries.. Not from being aggressive but being defensive and the 1973 Yom Kippur war,,,West Bank, Egypt Gaza Jordan, Syria, Lebannon. is its legal right to claim.. You fucking no good piece of shit.. I will shit on your page every 150 points.
In 1967, ISRAEL STARTED!!!
What led up to the war:
In May 1967, Gamal Abdel Nasser moved Egyptian troops into the Sinai Peninsula.
Egypt expelled UN peacekeepers who had been stationed between Egypt and Israel.
Egypt then closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli shipping (Israel had previously said this would be considered an act of war).
Egypt, Jordan, and Syria formed military agreements, and rhetoric about confronting Israel intensified.
Who fired first:
On June 5, 1967, Israel launched a preemptive air strike against Egypt’s air force, destroying much of it on the ground.
This is generally considered the first major military action of the war, so in that narrow sense, Israel “started” the shooting.
Israel has been murdering Palestinians and stealing their houses and land for decades. They had walls around Gaza with snipers on guard towers killing children any time they felt like it. Then when it leads to a terrorist attack, to use it to do a complete genocide. When this leads to anger and action from Hezbollah, they use that to bomb citizens and steal land from Libanon.
They are fucking Nazi's!
Modern international law prohibits acquiring territory by force.
By international law, Israel is guilty of war crimes.
Here, get rid of the regime and let the people of Iran creeate their own constitution from FREE WILL... Stabliszation.
It was Bush who attacked Iraq over lies, not Obama and Hillary.
It was also Obama who finally found and killed Bin Laden.
If you don't know that you're lying, your completely messed up.
Why do you want Iran to have a constitutional democracy, while Trump is destroying yours?
I see Trump threatening to bomb bridges and power-plants. Not only is that a war crime, because that's attacking CITIZENS, it will NOT stabilize Iran for it's citizens,
it will return their country to the stone age. How do you expect a stone age country
to create a constitutional democracy?
It's all nonsense, because this war is NOT about freeing the people of Iran,
this is ONLY intended to rid Israel of their enemy, so they can conquer all the land that they think of as the promised land.
and they're not back in the stone age yet.
~$50 Billion is 2.5 years of Universal Childcare (Build Back Better).
But bombing people in other countries is more 'America first', right?
Once they get a nuke, they will use it as they want to die killing infidels.
Powerful people send gullible people to die for them, even the most extreme Islamists. That's what religion is intended for. It's time you learn that.
Religious leaders use religion to STAY IN POWER.
Being vaporized doesn't help them do that.
Even if they hide in a bunker, there is nothing left after to stay in power over.
Look at the amount of lies that you gaslight yourself into believing
to keep supporting a conman who is going against everything he promised.
They could have easily have had a nuke, if they had wanted to.
They stopped the development for years.

A bunch of spineless cowards choosing money over principles.
and in your country his ratings are historically weak for a modern president at this stage.
It's a cult. Your love for the man is unconditional, and that's STUPID.
That's you not understanding democracy. You're supposed to be critical
of all your elected representatives.
If the 'one's with common sense love him', why didn't he get them then?
I'll answer it; because he likes people who don't have any principles.
Pushing a case called "National Republican Senatorial Committee v. FEC." towards
the U.S. Supreme Court.
It is designed to eliminate the last Federal limits on “coordinated spending” between political parties and candidates.
Why these limits exist: To stop donors from bypassing individual donation caps by routing money through political parties.
It would basically make RANK CORRUPTION EVEN EASIER!
Even mainstream outlets like Reuters say this case would weaken campaign finance limits, and legal arguments warn it lets wealthy donors route money through parties to get around caps, making dark money influence even harder to control.

Answer me this: If Republicans think corruption is a problem, why is JD Vance pushing
to remove one of the LAST LIMITS on coordinated political money?
Why isn't Fox'News' shouting: "Why is JD Vance helping George Soros ?!?"

Have you ever seen a dictatorship where it is nice to live for the citizens?
You just don't have it, because people like Trump don't want you to have it.
That's because your government has been serving the American people less
and serving wealthy assholes more and more, because of corruption.
Picking the exact type of person who has caused that problem, is not the answer.
Putting the fox in charge of the hen house is indeed getting things done,
he will eat them all in no time. The problem is; you're the hen.
probably kill more Muslims, and then kick the bucket. He's on borrowed time.
He likes the Netherlands, because we have Rutte, and our King and Queen
sucking up to him. We are cheap-asses, we don't want to give him a plane.
Our gay PM is coming with them as the 'bad cop'. He suckered the most votes out of the people, promising he was any different than the right-wing corporate party, so he will get something from Trump.

We play Trump. Nothing he does helps you, he only cares about his ego.
