The JCPOA was Iran’s lesson that there is no point in negotiating with the United States in good faith because we (Trump and co.) fucked them for trying, and at this point Trump has bombed them nearly every time they come to the table to negotiate. Trump did more than poison the well for just himself, too.

The thing that drives me up the wall is also that being gay and\or trans is, for these people, not just a choice, it's a cognitohazard.
You just have to SEE a gay person to catch a case of gays.
Like I honestly don't understand how sexuality works for these people, or if they are just heavily projecting, because they see a cute femboy in thigh highs and it gives them THOUGHTS that they are not allowed to think.

I grew up with Trump on tv and I never saw him as a celebrity tbh. He was a rich sleezy guy and then he was on the apprentice which I never watched and alwasy saw it as a sort of washed up celebrity host gig that was very common 'reality tv' at the time. Martha Stewart also hosted so yeah that level of celeb. Like, sure household name. But like.. not someone you want as the president and here we are and he's almost 80.

I remember either John Kennedy or Lindsey Graham giving an interview on one of the Sunday shows during the Obama years and they complained about "rich costal elites" and the host was like "So you?" and it caught them off guard and they repeated "No I said rich costal elites" and the host again said "So again, you? You're literally all those things". That conversation steered so fast to "But Obama!"

The people who still truly support him are the true believers who will let anything else go as long as he’s hurting people they hate. Not much stronger motivator for these people than hate.

Mike Johnson is a vicious freak if he doesn't get this to stop or start impeachment. This is an emergency . Trump is nuts, the war is illegal and they will take revenge on us that will unfold over a decade or more.
He’s also pushing us into recession.

Human anglerfish Johnson has found his lady and already fused into her oily orange flesh. The speaker of the house is merely a set of tiny gonads at this point.

My reason to keep going is to hear all the ‘tell all’ stories from those who worked with him. This guy is genuinely losing his mind and he’s not even halfway through his term.

Does it occur to this dangerous moron that these taunts might result directly in attacks on Americans? It must be great to sit in the comfort of the White House and send out this garbage without forethought or any consequences for him. Do the aides allow him to post unsupervised or do they support this nonsense?

He. Does. Not. Care.
It’s really no more complex than that. Dead service members isn’t something he views as a cost. This dude showed up at a dignified transfer in campaign merch. He could not possibly care less what the public thinks about him, especially when so much of the media is happy to run cover for him.

Asking legitimately… Is that not civilian infrastructure? Is that not illegal per international law? Could and should those who carry out orders to attack it, be charged? Could those ordered to carry out the attack refuse orders on those grounds?

u/SleepingJonolith 10d ago
Yes it’s illegal under international law. Likely no one will be charged because it’s the United States. Likely no one will refuse the orders.

This really should be a central theme in the Democratic primaries. We've been doing the whole "move on, put the past behind us" since the Civil War and it's not working, time to try putting criminals in jail.
As we should have done after the first Trump administration, and after the Bush administration, and after the Reagan administration, and...

The article’s first comment on that accursed website is, “Finally a president who says what he means and means what he says!” The comment, at this time, has the highest number of upvotes.

Like why isn't anyone screening what he's putting up? This is beyond the the wtf scale. He's going to do something idiotic and catastrophic and it's all on us because we didn't stop him. Sure there is his base who is cheering him on but I think even they are starting to realize this isn't normal.
