Israel has just called an emergency cabinet meeting.

This is a developing situation.

You should make these announcements into PSA videos, like that ******ed guy who makes the videos about severe weather.. I bet you’re just like him. It’d be perfect.

The only one I know is Obama and that deal had huge flaws in it .

Obama’s deal was only ever a temporary deterrent. As effective as it was, the deal was only going to last 10-15 years after which Iran would be guaranteed to have a working nuke in a short amount of time.


So, Iran's response to the latest US proposal is....... creation of the Persian Gulf Straight Authority...

It is like Iran is taunting Trump at every turn.

Now the US is retaliating for some attempted attacks on US ships, but it seems they are apologetically responding, claiming that this is not an escalation.

Where did Trump lose his will to finish? Are the Saudi's causing Trump to change his tune from "we will wipe you off the face of the earth and open the damn straight" to...."sorry we have to defend ourselves, and Iran needs more time to consider our latest, latest, latest offer...."

I have no idea what should happen next other to say that the US should have been prepared for this situation when they began the offensive. Closing the straight was one of very few leverage points Iran had.

It is like Trump is frozen, and is looking for the right move, but there is no right move to make......


Who the **** is Brent and why his oil so crude.

I have no idea what should happen next

The US should surrender, apologize, and pay reparations.


if there is no plan, can it be poorly executed?


there is a plan. be thankful that when it is poorly executed. Trump 2028.

Yeah, yada yada...

One of your more intelligent responses. Good job! You just earned another ten brownie points!

Lol. Exactly.

LOL back at ya, you yo-yo.

Voting Trump, Jr. not necessarily the same as voting for Trump, Sr. DUCY?

And me voting for Trump, Jr. assumes I HAVE to vote for him or Harris in your Twilight Zone scenario.

Even Democrats aren't dumb enough to nominate Harris again. (Except in the Twilight Zone ofc)


by biggerboat m

Every time I think you've turned the corner.........

Is there a reason why you want the most despicable humans in charge?

Those were the only two options Land'OLakes gave me in his Twilight Zone scenario.

In his scenario, I'm not allowed to punt and I'm not allowed to vote third party.

In RealityLand, I would not vote for Trump, Trump Jr. or Harris or Sanders or....

Just impeached, or impeached AND convicted? There’s a huge difference.The piece of trash was already impeached twice and nothing happened, because the amoral shitbags in the Senate have no spine and refused to convict. Is that why you want him impeached, because it didn’t change anything and the despicable human that you voted for could continue to be despicable and in charge

I want him impeached and convicted.

When you say things like this, it makes me doubt that you are as critical of Trump as you claim to be.

Don Jr. has most of the same flaws as his father, but is even dumber and of course has no experience doing anything of any consequence.

It was responding to LandOlakes Twilight Zone scenario in which I have to vote for either Harris or Trump, Jr. I can't stay home or vote third party.

Since its overwhelmingly going to be Newsome Vance or Rubio who are you picking between those three?

LOL at anyone being an "overwhelming" nominee two and a half years away from the election. A lot can, and will, happen in each party between now and 2028.


thats fair, overwhelming is too strong. The three top contenders currently out in front of a rather meek field.

I am curious who GC would pick between the three. If he could rank them, that would be more aprreciated.

Don’t forget, the blockade is still on. Everyday the Iranians lose hundreds of millions of dollars. We’re are doing just fine.

Marco or Vance will be very strong nominees. I like what I’m seeing from Marco lately.

There is some reason he doesn't want Harris president. He can't verbalize it, but he gets heated if you question whether it's because she's a female or because she's black or because she's both.

Listen up, cheesehead, Trump Sr is vice president on the ticket, so you would be voting Trump for a 3rd term by voting for Jr. How did you miss that?

But lol that you would blindly vote for a Make-A-Wish kid just because his last name is Trump.


by formula72 m

Probably none of them. If I HAD to vote for one of those three, I suspect I'd vote for Rubio.

I won't vote for anyone to the political left of John McCain. If Harris moves significantly to the right, I'd have to problem at all voting for her. I'd certainly consider voting for Tulsi, proving I'm fine with voting for a lady. And before her brains fell out I would have voted for Candace, which undermines your false 'geezer won't vote for a brown woman' narrative.

Listen up, cheesehead,

I'm not a Packer guy. GO RAMS!!!

I didn't miss that, broccoli breath.

With Trump it is no more complicated than the fact that he doesn't know what he is doing, but he does not let that stop him from doing it. Other than that we can speculate about the motivation all day long.

As for Iran, they are tough negotiators and always have been.

The other Gulf states have learned the limits of US ability to project force, at least in this political climate, and the unreliable nature of the corrupt and what 400 million dollar "gifts" can get you. Caveat emptor.

I'm curious , what did he do to makes you say that , that you didn't know about him prior to last election, or the one before?

Actually, the key is they dont actually negotiate at all. They just refuse to budge at all and wait for you to move to a position they find acceptable. Worked very well with Obama and the JPCOA. So far not working as well with Trump.

When you embrace extremist nihilism, and are completely indifferent to the welfare of the 90 million people you purportedly represent, not to mention hundreds of millions more in the region, it gives you a lot of leverage.

Who knows how true it is, but reports are it is actually the GCC's who pressured Trump to respond to Iranian aggression yesterday. They were upset he was willing to shrug off the recent Iranian attacks on UAE energy infrastructure.

It doesn't matter. Your post makes clear that you simply don't appreciate the damage that Trump has done or the damage that a father/son Trump duo would continue to do in the future.

Trump Jr and Eric are backers in a company that builds counter-drone interceptors for the military and has secured a deal with the Pentagon, yet dude would vote for Jr over Harris for reasons he can't put into words. Baffling.
