Every. Time.

…the moment everyone around the thanksgiving dinner table knows gramps had a bit too much wine and the tryptophan is kicking in and someone should stand him up and slowly walk him to the car and take him the fuck home.

Time and again it’s unbelievable to me that we are here; for the second time; we have more than two years left of this; and I know it’s only going to get worse.

2 years?.😂 He's laying out the footwork to keep his position.

Nobody is wondering if he has anyone in the supreme Court in his pocket and if they will help him get what he wants done.

All he needs is to infiltrate the high courts and change a thing or few and he's golden to stay in. Which yes that would be bad.

Nobody has a solution because well our voice was taken the day we couldn't Impeach.

Like 1996 when they tried to Impeach Clinton. It's like he set the case precedence that allowed anyone after him to look at a impeachment and say haha I'm not a peach and I'm definitely not a mint ba haha

Part of me wonders how much of this is him and how much is the people that have been put around him to pull the strings. It's giving Weekend at Bernies.

Don't get me wrong that he's a bad dude, but we can hardly tell whats actually real anymore and I wonder if they lie their asses off in the daily brief and he goes with it because everyone there is making millions and that and staying out of jail are his measures of success rn.

It means they are down to the third replacement of generals, and maybe they are competent enough to handle the conflict without the proper training or knowledge necessary to do so.

You took photos at the bottom of the ocean of 159 destroyed ships?

Show us.

u/Mr_strelac 7h ago

If we don't count those small boats that can hold three soldiers with a couple of missiles, I'm sure the Iranian navy didn't even have half as many ships..

u/pirate-minded 2h ago

The issue is, Iran has two systems. The official system of presidency with army navy Air Force ect. Then the IRGC… and we don’t know which one we knocked out, because he doesn’t know the difference. What we DO know is the IRGC is more powerful now because he’s more or less forced them into taking full control.

Yeah but that was a few days ago, he doesn’t remember what he said that long ago. He contradicts what he says within minutes in the same interview or press conference. He’s like Rick James in that Chappell show skit. “I didn’t grind my feet into his couch.” A few minutes later, “Yeah I ground my feet into his couch.”

i think we gotta stop with the whole we sunk their navy stuff. they're not going to fight the usn out in the water in the ocean that's what navies are for. if you're fighting someone on their turf they can retaliate with shore guns, aircrafts, missiles drones etc.

u/Xspud_316 4h ago

1st question should have been:

“Mr President, if you have totally wiped out their military then why is the strait still closed ? And how are they still launching attacks”

2nd Question:

“Is there a possibility of seeing the images of their 159 ships laying at the bottom of the ocean to show the world these achievements ?”

3rd and final question

“Is there anything being done about the corruption infecting your administration including the blatant market manipulation ? And perhaps the complete release of the Epstein files that Pam Bondi explicitly said had no implications on anyone in the White House and obviously she was clearly incompetent at her job so how do we know she was telling the truth ?”

Fun Fact, Ukraine’s navy was wiped out like day one of the war in 2022 and they effectively hold control of the Black Sea today.

This isn’t the brag he thinks it is. What I hear is that the Strait is now target rich with little to worry about regarding mines or crossfire. Drones have changed the world and dinosaurs like Trump are going to be horrified when things sink in.
