America has been bombing countries for decades. This is nothing new.

Sorry, that's giving his supporters way too much credit.
They do what they are told.
That's it.

Dear Iran: PLEASE direct ALL complaints about WW3 to the ONE PERSON who decided to start it. HIS ADDRESS IS 1600 PENSYLVANIA AVENUE, WASHINGTON, DC. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

No. They won't. They'll just say AMEN.

Trump lies about everything. Only profoundly-gullible people trust him. After all, he told them to "inject disinfectant". How stupid must a person be to continue to listen to him?

idlbeokay.bsky.social•1 day ago

My observation is that Donald Trump never tells the truth.

Your neighbor has a dog that is supposedly aggressive but has never left its yard. In the middle of the night, you go over the fence and shoot the dog and then sneak back home. Rest assured, dear reader, you are now at war with your neighbor whether you want to be or not.

"Trump has done what he swore he would not do"

Trump is a pathological liar, so why would anyone believe what this bastard says?

Whatever he says, you should know by now it will be the opposite.

They’re now trying to spin it based upon the news of the Iranian people these motherfuckers aren’t even meeting the needs of the American people. Fucking arrogant bastards.

America’s involvement in this Iran/Israel war was initiated illegally and against the American people’s wishes.

US involvement in the war has occurred for one reason: A narcissistic sociopath (Trump) felt he was not getting enough attention.

Trump is wildly unpopular; his humiliation overcame him

gobucksgo.bsky.social•1 day ago

His whole regime is either doing things he said he wouldn't do or not doing things he said he would. About half of us knew this about 40% didn't care and the other 10% was hoodwinked.

MAGA is well trained and thoroughly brainwashed at this point. They have alienated half their own party in service to Trump. And they are all too fucking IGNORANT to understand "sunken cost fallacy."

Gonna be interesting to see how these "no more war" Trumpers rationalize what Trump did.

If they've come this far with his lies (I mean, WHEN has he or his administration told a truth??), this one isn't going to cause a difficulty traversing.

For those "pundits" who analyze the attack on Iran by these 2 rogue shitholes, the usa and israel, here is a tip, here is how you should look at it:

Put yourself in the shoes of the orange turd and netanyahu, and ask yourself:

"What's in it for me?"

Because it's personal and political...

Israel is running low on US made interceptor missiles. Trumps
Trade war with china cut off rare earth minerals that are needed to make them. Trump is the reason Israel is getting flattened right now.

tiadee1031.bsky.social•1 day ago

Israel made choices so Israel is having consequences. As much as I'd love to blame t-Rump..it is Netanyahu's choices that got them there. I understand Hamas & the murders/prisoners..but Netanyahu had choices to make & these are the ones he made
Probably why our public lands are up for sale..minerals

I remember how Trump said he could shoot someone on TV, and there would still be people who followed him. If Biden had engaged in all the illegal stuff Trump has been doing, Trump's supporters would be up in arms against these issues. However, flip the name, and all of a sudden, their views change.

He's about to see if he can have everyone on Main Street shot and get away with it.
