Hey Republicans, you can fire him at any point. You can also reign him in at any time. Why aren't you?
Why would they stop him from doing what they want?
Do you have any idea how much money war brings to the USA?
For rich people specifically, but I'm guessing you were implying that.
yes about 800+billion/year for defense budget. at least close or more than half goes to defense contractors: boeing, raytheon, musk,,,etc.
Cool how the president can just declare war now with no heads up or permission from Congress with no consequences. The democrats sure have gotten fucking quiet these last several weeks
The last time the US formally declared war was WWII. Presidents, both blue and red, have been taking advantage of the incredibly weak War Powers Act for decades now.
Pretty much this. Multiple generations of war TV have pointed this out. MASH has an episode about it for chrissakes.
Presidents can attack basically anyone under the blanket provisions given for 9/11
It's totally the fault of the people with no power! Down with the powerless! Down with the powerless!
Congress is about 70% Holden Bloodfeasts.
now
Where have you been these last 25 years?
We all know how this is gonna go if we go down this path. Ah, the good ol' days.
You mean the old good old days?
I forgot about those! I totally had some as a kid, you have brought back some memories.
It has nothing to do with us. Trump you are a piece of human shit.
Pretty insulting to human shit. Not sure what it did to deserve that.
This guy does not have complete control over anything, including his butt hole, bladder, or mouth. Why does anyone believe a word that slips past those fat painted lips of his is beyond me?!
His GI Joe military birthday parade didn't go how he wanted, so now he's going to punish the military by sending them to war. They didn't goosestep for him. Someone needs to pay.
Yeah, I interpret his statement as "us" having no control and things being a mess and that it's all fucked.
Sure but what does Iran have to defend itself? Isn't it mostly outdated tech? It doesn't sound very difficult to maintain air superiority in that area
President of “peace”
Who has numerously times threatened neighbours and allies with invasion as well.
“Piece”. He wants the world go into pieces.
Our economy is just about fucked, so why not start a war? That's what we do, right?
"Be vewy vewy quiet. We aww in totaw contwow now."
And his cultists will have conveniently forgotten about our abandonment of the Kurds during his first term, and suddenly be pro-expansionism again…
The narrative was that Israel had gone behind his back and it made him look weak. Now it looks like Israel is winning and Trump needs to claim he was part of it. No, not "part of it", the reason why.
Particularly in foreign politics, he badly needs a win: turns out international trade is not as easy as imposing tariffs and waiting for countries to call him with big offers and Diplomacy (who knew) takes more than a "Vladimir stop" post on social. He needs something quick to show in-between golf games to get his popularity above "get my teeth drilled by the dentist" level again.
Meanwhile Iran sent a few more missiles to Israel last night. That's how much credibility this clown has.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Okay, relatively minor point here, but doesn’t this seem like an odd closing sentence? This is how you end a letter to a cereal maker when you find a Fruit Loop in your Cheerios. It’s not how you end a tweet when you’re talking about assassinating a major political/cultural figure and possibly triggering WWIII.
He said the same thing at the end of another twit 2-3 weeks ago. Sounded just as out of place then. My initial assumption is that the dementia is getting worse, but who knows.
The ranting of a senile man with unknown amount of partial control over the military and government .
It is terrifying, especially after he said Tehran should evacuate. He completely freaked out a city the size of New York.
So is Trump claiming that in under 12 hours the US cleared the entirety of Iran of air defense systems?
Pressing X to doubt here
Sure pal, yeaaa, like he did with the Ukraine-Russia war right ? The way he lied to everyone and still does, the way he does not say that other people behind him are in charge and not him. Once again the US along with it's friends does it again!
Behind the scenes, it's a complete Cluster Fuck. Good luck to those in the military or planning on joining who did not vote for the orange turd. For the MAGA in uniform, you deserve the shit that is going to fly all over the place with this war.
I wonder how long this has been in planning. Technically, the US military is prepared for desert operations.
This is probably how that bill will be passed in the senate. US goes to war… we need to spend spend spend!
“He wasn’t in control at all”
Americans, if you follow Trump into Iran you'll officially confirm that you do, indeed, deserve fascism.
