BTW, in case everyone has forgotten, we still have a partial shutdown of DHS going on. Nobody in Congress is even negotiating on it. Lines at both Houston airports for TSA screening were running 4 hours last weekend.

Grocery prices will fall and he will end the Ukraine war in 24 hours flat. I don’t know if I can handle all this winning.

He may not know the truth because he doesn’t want to know and nobody dares to tell him. He says it’s Iran’s fault because it’s always somebody else’s fault.

P.S. He doesn’t really give a shit if 140+ Iranian schoolgirls die. He’s that kind of guy.

The country is burning down around their ears and they’ll all come out and tell us how wonderful Trump is. What a wasted of oxygen!

We're at war with Iran because the President of the United States likes to fuck kids

That's super clear, right?

He fucks kids

Children

Trump fucks Children

That needs to be very clear

Colin Jost does a better Pete Hegseth than Pete Hegseth does.

The official reasons for this war change hourly. I honestly believe he really started a war to distract from the Epstein files, and therefore, we should talk about the Epstein files more and more. Every. Single. Day.

What they know or believe and what they say out loud are two very different things. That’s how they got into his cabinet.

At the very least, we should roll back the Trump tax cuts for the duration

On this Sunday morning, let’s all reflect for a moment on what is truly important in America right now

The Epstein Files

Our president is a pedophile rapist and must be treated as such!

Only if they want civilian ships to pass through the Straits.

Projection, projection. Every accusation is a confession with these jerks. One of these days we may learn.

The fact that they would do something so unprofessional is scary.

Something I would love to see in Star Trek is a bit with a parent in the 23rd or 24th century on some far-flung star base or planet, getting their toddler ready for bed by reading them Green Eggs and Ham.

Extra credit if it’s a Klingon parent.

For years, Iran would claim it could close the Straits of Hormuz, and the US would sail a carrier through it to show they couldn’t. Turned out all it really took to close it was a credible threat to attack any civilian shipping. Traffic is down 90% now. Guess what that means for oil prices?

β€œIn war, truth is the first victim” - supposedly Churchill. I’m sure there has been damage to many US bases, but how much is unknown. They have drones with 20-lb warheads, and we have jets with a half-dozen 1,000-lb bombs. I imagine we are doing more damage.

It makes him feel strong. It makes him feel tough and brave. He is none of these things. He is craven and cowardly and dishonest.

The people in this region have been getting revenge on each other for millennia. Forcibly creating Israel was just another stir of the pot.

Weird stuff you do when you’re retired:

A group of neighbors and I had been drinking, and we decided that we must have a Neighborhood Margarita Machine. Money was chipped in, websites were surfed, and I now have a 15-liter slushy/margarita machine in the garage. First test-batch tomorrow!

Our president cannot give a factual justification for this war, which is by itself a factual justification for his impeachment and removal.

Traffic in the Straits of Hormuz are down 90%. This puts a lot of pressure on our so-called allies in the region. Sooner or later they will start pressuring Trump to end his war. This war could easily blow up in Trump’s face.

Iran buys $5 billion in Trump’s crypto currency.

Trump declares total victory

US Forces return home.

Trump campaigns for Nobel Prize for ending war he started.

Honestly, I don’t think anyone really expected an improvement. He was selected for his bootlicking skills.

I have never agreed with any candidate on 100% of the issues, and it doesn’t bother me. I know they aren’t perfect; I just want them to be the best available option.
