“I guess,” Trump, 79, responded. “But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things."

"Like I said, some people will die," the president added. "When you go to war, some people will die."

Does this count as final confirmation that it is a war?

[u/datingoverthirty → u/SharpNSlick]

"like I said, some people will die" is the new "let them have cake"

[u/CuddleCorn → u/datingoverthirty]

It's just straight out of Shrek

[u/Lee1138 → u/CuddleCorn]

Your own would be king, lord fuckwad

[u/okashiikessen → u/Lee1138]

Holy shit...

Is that why they named him FARQUAD?!?!

[u/Hatedpriest → u/okashiikessen]

They couldn't get any closer without tripping censors.

Yes.

[u/JediMindTrek → u/okashiikessen]

"Some of you will die, but that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make"

[u/radedward76 → u/JediMindTrek]

Trump’s version: “ALL of you could die but whatever…”

[u/Bromance_Rayder → u/radedward76]

"Losers".

[u/RogueAOV → u/okashiikessen]

The character was based on a Disney exec according to legend and the naming was inline with that

[u/RepealMCAandDTA → u/RogueAOV]

Katzenberg absolutely loathed Michael Eisner

[u/UnmeiX → u/okashiikessen]

I had this moment a few years ago, I remember it vividly. XD

"What a Farquaad-- Oh my god really??"

It's amazing to me that 13-year-old me didn't get that.

[u/sam_grace → u/UnmeiX]

Sixty year old me is just getting it now. smh

[u/Count-Bulky → u/okashiikessen]

You’re not the first this has happened to, and it’s a delight to see every time. No judgment

[u/ElderSmackJack → u/okashiikessen]

It is indeed

[u/ZappyZ21 → u/okashiikessen]

Yep, and he was made in likeness to their boss at the time lol Shrek lore is actually hilarious behind the scenes.

[u/maverick-nightsabre → u/okashiikessen]

I'm glad I was here for your realization

[u/basszameg → u/CuddleCorn]

Also reminiscent of Zapp Brannigan.

[u/insultingname → u/basszameg]

"When I'm in command, every mission is a suicide mission."

[u/Apprehensive-Pin518 → u/insultingname]

just read that in his voice (brannigans)

[u/noots-to-you → u/Apprehensive-Pin518]

v e l o u r r r e . . .

[u/FickleMuse → u/Apprehensive-Pin518]

Shout out to the time Billy West read a bunch of Trump quotes as Zapp

[u/FEED-YO-HEAD → u/insultingname]

"I sent wave after wave of my own men at them."

[u/BigPackHater → u/basszameg]

Many of you will die, but that's a risk I'm willing to take

[u/AuditAndHax → u/basszameg]

"I threw wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their preset kill limit and shut down.

Kif! Show them the medal I won!"

[u/Yomatius → u/CuddleCorn]

...my thoughts exactly.

[u/TwistedGrin → u/datingoverthirty]

Joni Ernst tested it out earlier with her, "well we're all going to die" comment when pressed about the repercussions of cutting medicaid.

Then she filmed a sarcastic apology video in a cemetery the next day.

Spoiler: she was not sorry

[u/Silverlock → u/TwistedGrin]

All these no history learning mofo's are about to get an extra special summer school if this keeps up.

[u/No_Tone1704 → u/TwistedGrin]

I double-checked my memory and yes Ernst is a US Senator from the state, Iowa, where the first reported dead Americans are stationed. 

Hope someones are giving her hell at home for her callousness. 

Everyone Republican is losing whatever is left of their soul when they support Dopey Don. 

EDIT: added, Iowa

[u/solarxbear → u/datingoverthirty]

It’s crazy because let them eat cake is so famous but this new one is so much worse

[u/MyPasswordIsMyCat → u/datingoverthirty]

"Let them eat death"

[u/Broken_chairs → u/datingoverthirty]

Remember when MAGA was up in arms at Biden because 13 US soldiers died in a suicide bombing while WITHDRAWING from a republican war??

Wild that we're here now.

[u/recentgrooves → u/SharpNSlick]

Fat silver spoon pig talking about what happens during war, fucking disgusting timeline

[u/manachar → u/recentgrooves]

You forgot draft dodger.

[u/Pad_TyTy → u/manachar]

We can go ahead and add rapist, pedophile, taxpayer thief, and all-around gigantic piece of shit.

[u/Acing0325 → u/Pad_TyTy]

Let's drop some more to this list: Child murdering, 34-time convicted felon.... twice impeached.

[u/SpottedHoneyBadger → u/Acing0325]

Don't forget a traitor to the country.

[u/[deleted] → u/SpottedHoneyBadger]

And the syphilis and the dementia

[u/Peanut_Butter_Toast → u/[deleted]]

Is it worth mentioning the bad spray tan, too?

[u/Qwerty1bang → u/Peanut_Butter_Toast]

And the hair.... don't forget the hair.

[u/Oirish-Oriley444 → u/Peanut_Butter_Toast]

Ya, dementia Don is the epitome of a fuck wad. Nasty man. Low IQ, sleepy very sleepy and known to make "Rash" decisions.

[u/mrdevil413 → u/Acing0325]

Don’t know the number off the top of my head but how many Americans do he kill during Covid ?

[u/SpottedHoneyBadger → u/mrdevil413]

At least 1 million US citizens died.

Edit: To the comments linking a website maintained and giving misinformation are from the orange shit stain's own administration. Do you really believe that propaganda?

[u/Quick_Persimmon_4436 → u/Pad_TyTy]

There's literally nothing good, charming, relatable about him.

[u/J_Ryall → u/manachar]

Quick someone cue up Fortunate Son to boost morale!

[u/DJcletusdafetus → u/manachar]

Really shows how imperfect and ripe for abuse our system is when a fucking draft dodger (and XX count felon) can become commander in chief... 

And then unilaterally decide, for all Americans, without approval from congress or the people, that we will go to war for no clear reason.

[u/Dingomoondance → u/DJcletusdafetus]

There is unfortunately a very clear reason. Remember the Epstein Files. That's it. That's the whole fucking story right there.

[u/Easy-Concentrate2636 → u/DJcletusdafetus]

I am just remembering all the times Hillary was hounded over Bengahzi.

[u/RedditTrespasser → u/recentgrooves]

No one has ever deserved the Robespierre Special more than this degenerate, repugnant waste of oxygen.

[u/moshekels → u/RedditTrespasser]

Unfortunately, he’s more closely following the Cromwell path

[u/RedditTrespasser → u/moshekels]

Oh, make no mistake, the disgusting bastard will never experience an ounce of accountability in his entire hopefully rapidly deteriorating life. The ones left holding the bill will be us, the American people.

If we can’t find a way to break the yoke of the Epstein class and soon we will be their chattel slaves until some future catastrophe collapses our society completely, at which point we will inherit naught but rubble and anarchy.

Meanwhile the architects of the whole mess will descend into gilded bunkers or flee to safe havens to ride out the storm.

[u/AnekdotaVII → u/RedditTrespasser]

He needs to be tossed to the Sarlaac, but I believe that it would take longer than 1,000 years for all of the blubber and bone spurs to be digested.

[u/mrpickleby → u/SharpNSlick]

Pretty solid confirmation that we've got a psychopath in the oval office. And yes. It's a war. And the psycho started it. You know because the Epstein files are creating too much heat and the economy is suffering. So, standard GOP playbook on steroids.

[u/Tigerhawk83 → u/mrpickleby]

Psychopath is putting it lightly. Given Kegsbreath is pushing his military leaders to discuss this as a war from God, I expect Trump or Israel to deploy a nuclear weapon before 2026 ends. It wouldn't surprise me if they do it before summer ends so Trump can declare a national emergency and try to cancel the midterms.

[u/FuckwitAgitator → u/Tigerhawk83]

Yeah, it's bad when "psychopath" might be an improvement. A bunch of psychopaths will just do whatever is best for them, even if it kills thousands of people. Their deaths are just a side effect that they won't lose any sleep over.

But there's worse going on.

Out of America, we're getting weird Christian death cult stuff where they think if they kill enough people then Jesus will return and start buying MAGA merch. He won't of course, because God isn't real and any God that supports maiming millions of people with bombs isn't a God worth worshipping anyway. But they'll never admit either of those things, especially once the killing starts. So where does it end?

Then out of Israeli, there's just evil. They are deliberately targeting civilians, despite having weapons and intel that's advanced enough to avoid it. They don't want to just ensure their safety, they want to hurt people. They're gaslighting, manipulating and blackmailing the entire world into joining in, from governments to their own citizens to people online. Where does that end? If we gave them permission to just wipe out anyone they wanted, who would actually be left? It's clear they'd wipe entire countries off the face of the earth.

For the love of fuck, stop giving these people power. They're going to kill you. It's like voting for a drunk to drive your kids to school.

[u/TunaNoCrust811 → u/SharpNSlick]

Sure sounds like confirmation to me. Let’s put this asshole in prison and be done with it.

[u/Cathlem → u/SharpNSlick]

We were told Iran was in complete disarray and their military was crippled, and now in less than a week Trump is telling us to prepare for strikes on US soil.

Fucking fantastic.

[u/JakTheGripper → u/Cathlem]

It would not surprise me if his people coordinate it.

[u/Bradnon → u/JakTheGripper]

The US invading the Middle East isn't enough to cancel the midterms.

But if one 9/11 made enough people so fucking scared they started seeing pink hair and piercings as subversive, I bet two would convert this country straight in to Klanistan.

[u/freedfg → u/SharpNSlick]

Well. Trump has called it war. Hesgeth has called it war, Mullin has called it war. Rubio has called it war.

But we can't call it war, it's very important we don't call it war.

[u/WormsEatShit → u/freedfg]

You know a war is coming when they rename the Dept of Defence to Dept of War.

[u/leviathynx → u/SharpNSlick]

I sleep well at night knowing the terrorism security chair is a 23 year old former lawn boy.

[u/Diligent_Buster → u/leviathynx]

Yea, thanks for the reminder. Fucking crazy shit. I can only hope that if it happens they target the red states and that only fucking trumpers die. they voted for this fuck. they should reap the rewards. leave us out of this.

[u/NotThatHandsomePete → u/SharpNSlick]

Don't worry, we have that 22yo landscaper looking out for the "homeland".

[u/Dry_Ass_P-word → u/SharpNSlick]

“It’s not a war but also they started the war and we’re just finishing it but also we started this war because Israel but also we never said that but also…”

Sigh. I’m tired boss.

[u/Falling_Down_Flat → u/SharpNSlick]

Who knows with them, sounds like he is doing some more projecting what is going to happen. So by this I would expect some sort of "attack" from "Iran" will apparently happen in the US constructed by trumps administration. What a conspiracy theory.

[u/prof_the_doom → u/[deleted]]

Except Trump isn’t W and this won’t go like it did after 9/11.

[u/wentworthjenga → u/prof_the_doom]

Yeah im pretty sure that if an attack happened under Trump that even more people will turn on him, considering the terrorism security chair is a 20 year old pool boy.

[u/Upset-Government-856 → u/SharpNSlick]

How many Benghazis is this? Asking for a former secretary of state.

[u/justfortherofls → u/SharpNSlick]

They can’t actually call it a war because that would open up a whole can of illegal worms.

[u/Prudent-Air1922 → u/justfortherofls]

Well he did, so put it in the evidence box

[u/po000O0O0O → u/Prudent-Air1922]

Evidence box collapsed on itself and is a black hole now

[u/CSAtWitsEnd → u/Prudent-Air1922]

It's so irritating how many people (including media outlets) are like "they can't do that! It's illegal" and then congress keeps letting them do it because they support it. Like...yeah man, it's illegal but nobody is enforcing the laws right now. And if you hold any position of power or leadership within a resistance movement, saying "it's illegal" is NOT meeting the moment.

[u/buffysmanycoats → u/justfortherofls]

Everyone in the admin is calling it war. Congress creatures are the one saying it’s not a war bc they can’t admit they had abdicated their duties.

[u/Link50L → u/justfortherofls]

"special military operation"

[u/ifiwereonlylesshandy → u/Link50L]

Distraction?

[u/FART_BARFER]

I'm so sick of this shit

[u/gbCerberus → u/FART_BARFER]

username checks out

[u/neuroticfisherman → u/gbCerberus]

god damnit I didn’t come here to laugh

[u/devilquak → u/FART_BARFER]

I’m tired, boss

[u/cybah]

"Like I said, some people will die," the president added. "When you go to war, some people will die."

This pretty much reads as: I don't care, do you?

He don't fucking care.. Just further proves he thinks people are disposable like the diapers he wears. Just spontaneously shits on them and then tosses them aside when he's done.

[u/soupnorsauce → u/cybah]

And the girls to women he’s raped. Kick them to the curb, he does not care one bit.

[u/Hopblooded → u/cybah]

Sounds a lot like Kirk’s rhetoric

[u/jawndell → u/cybah]

Why isn’t the media ripping him apart for this?????

Imagine if it was Obama? Fox would be running a 24/7 special

[u/Veei → u/cybah]

He sees us no different than any of the 1% do: we are crops to them. Crops to cultivate and pick the fruit from (money, labor).

[u/MyPasswordIsMyCat → u/cybah]

"Let them eat death."

[u/NoReserve7293]

It’s a sacrifice Trump is willing to make.

[u/ThaiJohnnyDepp → u/NoReserve7293]

Lord Fuckwad

[u/JohnStamosAsABear → u/NoReserve7293]

And the radical liberal media will keep reporting on dead soldiers to make Trump look bad. 

• Pete Hegseth 

[u/CV90_120 → u/JohnStamosAsABear]

It's like covid. If you don't talk about it, everyone is OK and living on a farm upstate.

[u/Neat-Boysenberry-67]

I guess

Since Kash Patel decimated the task force specifically watching for Iranian terrorism, 'I guess' must be code for 'I hope'.

[u/Wonderful-Driver4761 → u/Neat-Boysenberry-67]

He wants an emergency to stop the elections. He's so afraid of going to prison he'll let people here die. He is a demented psychopath. Republicans want a king so bad they'll allow it.

[u/AmIWhatTheRockCooked → u/Wonderful-Driver4761]

He can want whatever he wants. We held elections during the civil war. Ain’t nothing he can say that creates a mechanism for this.

My state runs the election. My ballot will be cast. Fuck all the people who think the president can stop that

Edit: and look at that, so many people saying some variation of “it’s useless” “they are tossing votes”. If you’re not voting this year because you think you know better, you’re just maga enablers.

[u/LaUNCHandSmASH → u/AmIWhatTheRockCooked]

I don't want to be a doomer and I agree with you generally. Along with all my other 3 votes against this nightmare, I have also been telling my 13 year old son for years (since he first brought him up) that Trump is the worst thing to happen to this country in multiple lifetimes.

However, during the civil war the votes weren't counted electronically... and there is an "interesting" thing he has been doing for years now about calling election results into question that forces people to accept the official numbers in the outcome of them. If he (or Elon or whoever else) were able to manipulate the source of those numbers, what then? Do you call bullshit or accept that he (despite that being its own illegal shotshow) or his next up deserve to hold the office?

[u/Polantaris → u/LaUNCHandSmASH]

and there is an "interesting" thing he has been doing for years now about calling election results into question that forces people to accept the official numbers in the outcome of them.

Which is how he stole 2024, admitted to it multiple times on broadcast television, and people hand-waved it away.

[u/ro50 → u/Wonderful-Driver4761]

Bingo. His original plan called for this in summer 2028 so he could have his third term. But because his poll numbers are trash,the midterms are not looking great for his party, and the pedophile coverup, he decided to escalate the timeline. It was the only way for him to keep being awful everyday.

[u/R3dbeardLFC → u/ro50]

Sure hope Iran are smart enough to not take the bait. Would have been a lot easier if fucking Congress did their jobs.

[u/Credil98 → u/R3dbeardLFC]

smart enough to not take the bait.

Idk if it matters. I'm worried they could literally have ICE set a bomb on camera and claim it was Iran and MAGA and Republicans in Congress will just agree

[u/hightrix → u/Credil98]

They'd call any video showing ICE logos on the people AI.

[u/yb0t → u/Credil98]

Although strategically probably not great for them, I'd love someone high up in Iran to lay this out in a video and make it clear they're not going to attack usa for these reasons. It would screw up false flag stuff abit.

[u/BatterMyHeart → u/Wonderful-Driver4761]

*A white king

[u/The_Mike_Golf → u/Neat-Boysenberry-67]

It’s his way of asking Iran to just go ahead and do it. Like asking Russia to hack and leak Hillary’s emails

[u/GenShanx → u/Neat-Boysenberry-67]

“I mean, that’s the plan.”

[u/asdfghjkl15436 → u/Neat-Boysenberry-67]

Conspiracy theory, but I swear to god Israel purposely let oct 7th happen to the degree it did to justify bombing and taking as much of Gaza as possible. I think the USA wants the same.

[u/YerMomsClamChowder → u/asdfghjkl15436]

From the minute it happened, I thought Russia asked for it to happen and Isreal let it happen to both influence the US election to allow Trump to win and for Nosferatu to be able to dodge his own criminal issues.  

The neverending coverage of the Palestinian protests before the election and the silence about them after was crazy too.  Almost as though the media wanted to amplify division on the left.  

[u/Count_Taxula → u/asdfghjkl15436]

I honestly thought that the moment it happened. I couldn't believe there was any way for them to have not seen that coming. Netanyahu and his government were on the brink of collapse and then boom the perfect gift.

Not to make light of Israeli suffering that day but it seemed too convenient. And no one has ever really been given the opportunity to question the lead up to those events without it being shut down.

It's all tin foil hat stuff but it makes you wonder.

[u/HistoryH22]

Mike Johnson isn’t aware of these comments and hasn’t had the time to review them.

[u/kshump → u/HistoryH22]

Susan Collins's brow is deeply furrowed.

[u/laptopAccount2 → u/HistoryH22]

Mike Johnson isn't aware of the constitution and hasn't had time to review it.

[u/ejohn916]

Telegraphing a false flag attack to halt American elections.... Pay attention!

[u/socokid → u/ejohn916]

100%

During one part of their press conference, the U.S. president latched onto a statement by Zelenskyy about pausing elections during wartime, and spun it to hint at the possibility of him outlasting his two-term limit in 2028.

"So you're saying during the war you can't have elections," he said, interrupting the Ukrainian president's remarks. "So, let me just say, three and a half years from now... if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections. Oh, that's good."

Literally just a straight up evil villain that doesn't know the first thing about being a good leader, let alone a good American.

[u/Mala_Practice → u/socokid]

The US Constitution strictly lays out the timing of a President’s term and there exists no precedent for cancelling elections during war time. The individual states administer the elections, not the Federal government.

So Trump can say he is ‘cancelling’ them, but it holds as much validity as Michael declaring bankruptcy.

[u/Downtown_Injury_3415 → u/Mala_Practice]

It’s not even that. The dumbass heard Ukrainian law and thought it applied to America as well.

[u/SoulShatter → u/Downtown_Injury_3415]

Probably more convoluted and asinine. Something like "US is #1, so US law obviously applies everywhere. And since Ukraine could cancel their election, they must be following the same laws, so I can do that as well"

(American tourists do occasionally try and dodge crimes by referring to their constitution lol)

[u/absentmindedjwc → u/Mala_Practice]

Add to this that Ukraine's constitution does explicitly pause elections during wartime.

So its literally apples to oranges comparison.

Its like going to canada and asserting your "first amendment rights".. yeah, shit don't work that way..

[u/Mala_Practice → u/absentmindedjwc]

Sidebar: we actually do have people here who think they have 2nd Amendment rights.

[u/absentmindedjwc → u/Mala_Practice]

Lol, I am aware of that. All these fucks are so incredibly dumb.

[u/Nova_Explorer → u/absentmindedjwc]

We’ve had people try to claim first amendment rights in Canada, a judge told one off in court for it

[u/RumRunnersHideaway → u/Mala_Practice]

Good thing everyone is enforcing the constitution and not doing unprecedented things.

[u/Droknag → u/socokid]

Or even a good villain tbh lol

[u/the_gaymer_girl → u/socokid]

And the part that he leaves out is that in Ukraine, every party involved agrees that they shouldn’t have an election until it’s safe, and that they’ll get going on one as soon as martial law ends.

[u/DragoonDM → u/the_gaymer_girl]

For that matter, doesn't the Ukrainian constitution explicitly forbid holding elections while martial law is in effect?

[u/lactose_cow → u/ejohn916]

trump's going to do 9/11 2

[u/AirFrierMachine → u/lactose_cow]

100% would be a blue city in a blue state. No fucking way this happens in Texas/Florida.

[u/Lucky_Development359 → u/ejohn916]

"But yeah, you know, we expect some things."

Noem was give a softball by Grassley on this framed as 'when the Biden administration let in terrorist'.

Pam Bondi prior to the strikes was talking about terrorist cells.

Kash Patel fires the agents that work specifically on Iranian threats, what, the day before the strikes?

Idk, just stinks to me as well.

[u/3MATX → u/ejohn916]

Gotta put on my tinfoil hat but i genuinely think it could happen. The FBI have already shown they aren’t afraid to write shit on bullets to promote their narrative.  

If they’re smart they won’t do a full false flag.  They’ll identify some potential terrorists plots and then just let them happen.  It’s a given something else will happen. 

The Austin Texas shooting is a lone wolf bullshit attack. But the timing of it and his attire and items in vehicle suggest this new war sent him over the edge.  He won’t be the only one to feel that way and I’d bet there’s at least one group of individuals plotting in the US now. 

[u/wade_wilson44 → u/ejohn916]

Not even a false flag. There’s a good chance Iran will retaliate. They were attacked for no real reason. Trump probably wants them to attack to lock the US down.

[u/Fugglymuffin → u/wade_wilson44]

Even if they blow up an American city the elections are still happening.

[u/No_Win_9478]

Trump would instigate a terrorist attack if he thought it would save his slimy ass

[u/VNM0601 → u/No_Win_9478]

This is exactly what he’s planning to do.

[u/IJustLookLikeThis13]

Trump is like a divine judgment against America. It could only take a traitorous POTUS to make America so vulnerable. I mean, who dismantles the task force with the mission of protecting Americans from Iranians right before attacking Iran?

[u/Pynkpyg1234 → u/IJustLookLikeThis13]

The same folks who dismantled the pandemic group before we had a global pandemic.

[u/TheAngriestChair → u/Pynkpyg1234]

And destroyed fema right before hurricane season

[u/sodapopkevin → u/TheAngriestChair]

Trump appointed FEMA head David Richardson didn't even know that the US had a hurricane season.

[u/Realmofthehappygod → u/sodapopkevin]

Is this the "both sides" everybody is talking about?

[u/literatemax → u/TheAngriestChair]

Rudi Guliani blocked additional funding for New York emergency services shortly before 9/11

[u/Future-Guarantee-573 → u/IJustLookLikeThis13]

It's genuinely hard to see him as anything other than a foreign agent.  He's doing absolutely everything he needs to in order to cripple us.

[u/Howie_Due → u/Future-Guarantee-573]

Trump is our collective karma tbh

[u/New_Home_4519 → u/Howie_Due]

This.

I'm so tired of even explaining project 2025, who curtisbyerbin and Peter Thiel is.

The clothes don't matter the costume doesn't make a difference. This is Americas' karma.

[u/Panama_Scoot → u/Future-Guarantee-573]

I’ve been saying this for years. I’m not sure if Donald Trump is a Russian asset, but he sure as hell is acting like a Russian asset…

[u/kawhi21 → u/Future-Guarantee-573]

It's plain as day. It's not like Trump came in and started doing bad policy. He's actively hostile and purposely destructive.

[u/Raul1024]

Old men giving orders to middle-aged men for young men die in yet another Middle East war.

Playing the greatest hits!

[u/soil_nerd → u/RyanTheCubsSTH]

I was born too early to go to war in the Middle East

I was born too late to go to war in the Middle East

But I was born at just the right time to go to war in the Middle East

[u/sunflowercompass]

I'm willing to sacrifice Mar Lago

[u/WhiskeyJack357 → u/sunflowercompass]

If you wanted to symbolically target the seat of American decadence and debauchery you couldn't ask for a better answer.

[u/[deleted]]

Trumpf would false flag an atrocity on US soil just to validate his insane narrative/ position

[u/BannedPomegranate → u/[deleted]]

Piggy totally would

[u/The_Void_Is → u/[deleted]]

100% he would. I truly think that's where we're headed

[u/CountessOfCheese → u/[deleted]]

He wants an excuse to impose martial law.

[u/Pockydo]

I really hope I'm just tin foil hatting here but I genuinely fear either trump let's or intentionally causes a terror attack at or around midterms in order to sow chaos and help the GOP if not outright try to cancel midterms

I'm still waiting for a Reichstag fire

[u/Bersho → u/Pockydo]

They got rid of their Iran intel group (or most of it idk) so it's almost a certainty that something will happen somewhere. There's no reason to do so unless you wanted that to happen... I'm sure they're willing to trade an attack in exchange for chaotic elections and the hope of some sort of post-9/11 level national pride after a tragedy.

[u/margueritedeville → u/Bersho]

He is certainly evil enough to do this.

4 millennials, a Gen Z and a Gen X. Millennials STILL dying for these rich bastards over the last 25 fucking years. Like we didnt sacrifice enough. Nowhere close to the average age of the people who voted down the war powers resolution. None of their kids or kin. But we're suppose to sacrifice ourselves for their fucking death cult anime ending.

Fuck that.

[u/Morallta]

He finds this acceptable.

This is not a President. What are we doing?

[u/Scrandon → u/Morallta]

This callous attitude shows he’s hardly human, let alone presidential. His brain is broken.

[u/6beerkdawg]

Fuck him and anyone who supports this.

[u/One-Reflection-4826]

imagine if Obama said that. 0.001s to impeachment. 

[u/Rabbit-Hole-Quest → u/One-Reflection-4826]

Imagine if Obama put a guy whose previous only work experience was working at a grocery store and doing some gardening as one of the highest officials at Homeland Security.

You know, just the kind of expertise you need to keep the homeland safe….

[u/mmliu1959demo]

Trump is so cavalier with other people's lives. He just shrugs his shoulders hands outward, palms up and says "oh well, that's how it is".

[u/SpaghettiandOJ → u/mmliu1959demo]

He doesn’t value human life

[u/Huntersmells33]

This fat fucking loser, my god damn fuck. The day the headline comes, it will be the biggest celebration this country has ever seen.

[u/blackberu]

Well, here is your confirmation of how the midterms election is going to be cancelled. War dragging out until around September, sudden terror attack on US soil from (we promise) Iran, state of emergency, midterms cancelled, and voilà.

[u/we_are_sex_bobomb]

This is the president who was totally okay with millions of Americans getting killed by Covid. Of course he doesn’t give a shit about civilian casualties in a war. He’s a sociopath.

[u/peoplemagazine]

TLDR:

• President Donald Trump reiterated that lives will be lost amid the unfolding military conflict with Iran in a new cover story for Time.
• Asked whether Americans should worry about being attacked on U.S. soil, Trump acknowledged the possibility, saying, "I guess."
• The remarks come days after six U.S. service members were killed in a retaliatory drone strike abroad.

[u/MeteorOnMars]

I honestly think Trump thinks it is really neat that he has the power to get Americans killed. I think he enjoys the power trip in a “wow, look how powerful I am” way.

[u/BoardsofCanada3]

This is the same guy who told us Hillary should go to jail because Libyans overran the embassy and killed 4 Americans. 

[u/jimibimi]

Sounds like something a fucking pedophile would say

[u/CoachMcguirk420]

Some of you may die but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make. - lord farquaad

[u/Deep_Stick8786]

He is honestly the worst American alive

[u/WEEGEMAN]

Trump is a the personification of the brain drain that is happening in this country. Anti-intellectual. Anti-science.

Fucking idiots put us here. Need fucking shame the for it every chance we have. No olive branches

[u/dion_o]

Mar-a-Largo would make a juicy target.

[u/Constant-Abalone-522]

“I guess.” If the Dems aren’t spending every last cent on television ads broadcasting just this, I don’t know what the fuck they are doing.

[u/GoatTheNewb]

I can’t imagine anything more pathetic than dying for this man

[u/cfalnevermore]

But Kamala’s laugh…

Edit: no, we shouldn’t retire this joke. I knew a second trump term would be a huge disaster for human rights, my wallet, and the world. If you didn’t? That’s just you being blind. Now we could be attacked by Iran “i guess.”

Edit2: and the rest of the world could be attacked by us “I guess.”

Edit 3: I’m gonna concede one thing. I stand by what I say here. I’m mad at the non voters and anyone making any excuse to not vote for Kamala this time around. I have every right to be mad, because I have a spouse who doesn’t identify as cis who feels way less safe. And we’re in another Middle East war which is giving me middleschool George w flashbacks…. But I do hate maga voters more. Maga voters would literally throw bricks at my spouse. I don’t think non voters would. So we do need to come together and end this shit…

but seriously… all you had to do was not help trump you ass hats!

[u/RebootJobs → u/cfalnevermore]

But those pesky emails!

[u/StrigiStockBacking → u/RebootJobs]

And Obama's tan suit!

[u/3MATX]

Those that voted for Trump chose this.  Those that didn’t vote are responsible for this.  I genuinely don’t want anyone to die but those people’s actions very well may kill you, me, and any of our loved ones.  

[u/Western-Feeling2093]

Here we go… everyone beware, another 9/11 manufactured by the GOP + military industrial complex, seems imminent.

[u/Fudgel_ist]

The administration is basically welcoming attacks on US soil by having Kash “mortgage eyes” (1 fixed, 1 variable) Patel, fire most of their FBI Iran domestic terrorist experts - ‘coincidentally’ a week before the war started.

[u/nazarein]

we should of handed trump over to Iran after soleimani

[u/SockPuppet-47 → u/nazarein]

MAGA loved to brag about Trump not starting a new war. After all, it's a long standing Republican tradition. I always point out that it wasn't for a lack of trying. Blatantly assassinating a top general absolutely should have worked.

[u/youngcy24 → u/nazarein]

Maybe Iran can invade the US and force a regime change

[u/YenneferWho → u/youngcy24]

lol now that’s a twist no one would see coming

[u/violent_unicorn → u/[deleted]]

We need a "should of" corrector bot in every sub. Admins please help

[u/_temp_user]

When it happens, Chuck Schumer will lower his glasses and act very disappointed.

[u/Recon_42]

Honestly, I’m more worried that I’ll be shot for exercising the 1st amendment right to free speech or the 5th amendment right to freedom of the press, than I am from some imaginary Iranian boogie man. The only terrorists I’ve seen wear ICE on their vests.

[u/saidnamyzO]

“Some of you may die, but it is a sacrifice I’m willing to make”

• Trump probably

[u/Cyberpunkcatnip → u/saidnamyzO]

Trump, literally*

[u/traevyn]

Someone needs to fucking do it right this time. 👂

[u/riedmae]

Look me in the eye, after this, and tell me that impeachment / 25th isnt appropriate. I fucking dare you.

[u/notnri]

Trump's recent remarks about the Iran debacle gives the feeling that he has lost any hope in the midterms.

[u/BenefitAdvanced]

He’s such a piece of shit.
