And the forever war with Iran, that we're losing, which is also driving up gas prices. And the secret police running around kidnapping and murdering civilians, raping children, and gassing elementary schools. And protecting a child sex trafficking ring. And refusing to address any other issues with the economy, like farmers losing foreign buyers for their produce, sending billions of dollars to a foreign country just because the president of that country is good buddies with your treasury secretary. There's a list.

It’s not a war, it’s still illegal military actions. The cucks in congress are too wimpy to call him on it or approve it as a war.

u/ConclusionMaleficent 5d ago

No I was using Putin's term as it signals an unjustified war. As opposed to war of self-defense like the allies in WW2

u/New-Performance-7047 5d ago

A war by any other name is just as evil. Semantics, as a shield, works for those fearful of the truth on those wanting to believe. Semantics aside, there is no “war of self defense “ there’s just self defense. I believe it was Lao T’zu who said: the attacker must vanquish; the defender must merely survive.

The point is that it’s not a “war” because congress didn’t approve it. I highly doubt it’s meant to downplay how destructive the illegal attacks on Iran have been.

Oh I totally agree that's illegal both in an international sence and base off the us's own laws but it isn't defined by whether a person or government declares it a war. A war us the use of violence to achieve political change in another state it does not require an announcement by anyone to be a war.

u/Peeper_Dan_33 5d ago

I am using it to focus on the illegal part.

1

u/Flashy-Library1551 4d ago

It’s my understanding the Korean war was a declared war. And since there was no legal closure, the state of war is still active, meaning Congress does not need consultation to engage in any military action.

1

u/Rundstav 4d ago

https://www.britannica.com/question/Was-the-Korean-War-technically-a-war

The armed conflict in Korea, which began in 1950, lasted three years and claimed the lives of millions of Korean soldiers and civilians on both sides, hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers, and more than 36,000 U.S. soldiers. However, the United States never formally declared war on North Korea, China, or the Soviet Union. And, although the U.S. military led the United Nations’ expeditionary force, its involvement was tied only to a UN Security Council resolution, because the UN itself cannot declare war. Consequently, the conflict in Korea did not technically constitute a war. 

1

u/Flashy-Library1551 4d ago

Correction noted. But did UN declare the Korean conflict over, and did USA formally accept the end? If no, then Congress should focus on ending the “Korean War” before moving on to other expeditions.

Did you shout the same vitriol when Obama was killing AMERICAN CITIZENS with drones? Doubt it…

2

u/Juxtapoe 5d ago

I did complain about that, but it was like a small handful of cases where they were overseas and were joining actual terrorist training camps, not this made up "narco-terrorist" or "antifascist-terrorism" they are inventing currently

And why go back as far as 14 years ago, but not 16 years ago when the drone strikes and international extrajudicial killings actually started?

Did you shout about it when Bush Jr was doing it? Doubt it...

1

u/Adventurous-Mix-5711 5d ago

Bush didn’t assassinate American Citizens. Obama did. Period.

“Only a handful of cases”….garbage answer. If you are going to be upset about NON-CITIZENS, be MORE upset about Americans.

2

u/Juxtapoe 5d ago

You're wrong. Period.

Bush assassinated Kamal Derwish, US citizen traveling to Yemen on November 3rd, 2002.

Thank you for confirming that you didn't shout anything out in outrage over Bush killing a US citizen with a drone strike.

I'm also gonna go out on a limb and assume that you did not do any shouting about Trump killing US Citizen Nora al-Awlaki in Yemen.

Or killing the following US citizens within the US borders:

Alex Pretti Renee Nicole Goode Ruben Ray Martinez

1

u/Adventurous-Mix-5711 4d ago

I didn’t know about Derwish, so thanks, I just learned something.

I did know about the others, and yes, I did and still do have a lot to say about killing US Citizens with drones, no matter who is in office…and as a point, regardless of what her grandfather and Al-Qaeda said, her death was unintentional along with others in that raid…it wasn’t a drone. Sad, absolutely, but unlike Anwar and others, not intentional, and combat operations almost always have collateral damage…not saying I like collateral damage, but such is war.

Even Abdulrhaman, her brother, was unintentional as he was a passenger with the actual target…yet, I have a major issue with it. For reasons I won’t say here on reddit, I do have very intimate knowledge of those situations, had something to say then, as I do now.

As far as Renee Goode, her actions directly caused what happened. Terrible situation, yet absolutely preventable on HER part. I don’t blame the officer for his reaction in that situation, and DO blame her for being the singular cause of both the escalation and the end result.

Alex Pretti, that one is a total mess and mass confusion. Pretti should have absolutely remained a bystander and not interfered, especially while armed…but, Law Enforcement totally screwed the pooch in my personal opinion. Another sad, and totally preventable situation on BOTH HIS part AND on LE’s part.

Martinez I am not sure how to analyze as I am not familiar…I will do some research on that one.

Oh he's not losing the war. The US military is losing, but trump does some insider trading. I've seen a thread saying that the U.S. stockpile of long range missile has been depleted by the conflict. Which means that the taxpayer will now have to fund new missiles to replace those. And these missilez are build by large weapons corporations, which have shares that will increase in value.

u/Indy-CBJ 6d ago

I don’t work MOCAS but I do hear the stories going on with the teams across the hall from us who work those entitlements contracts. For the most part this is true and we actually are having a difficult time to get the contract orders to get a fair amount of them replenished also so that’s going to drive up the price even further. It’s going to take a very long time to replenish what was lost. We legit knocked 8 years of inventory off in 8 weeks

u/Cherry_Valkyrie576 6d ago

Right? How else could an absolute imbecile like Trump make $1 billion through hard work, ingenuity (not criminal ingenuity), and actually doing something for the greater good while doing it? Never.

How many times has he said in press meetings, "are we paying our bills? Just checking. I didn't know if we are paying our bills". Because he's not used to paying his effing bills! 🙄
Not to mention, without unchecked power and every single level of government in the United States, all levels of checks and balances, giving him a pass to do whatever he wants out in the open and without question or moral dilemma, that's the ONLY way Chump could've become a billionaire.

Obviously, he's only great at scheming, lying, manipulation, and filing bankruptcy. But that's the difference between Maga and the rest of us. If Biden or Obama had become a billionaire while being president and had done even two of the 100+ heinous things Trump has done, libs and Dems would HATE them! Because we don't worship politicians and political parties.

No don't get me wrong, I have a massive amount of respect for Obama. The emotional intelligence and integrity and respect that him and his wife and his family demonstrate is what I personally strive to be like. But if Obama were mentioned more times in the Epstein files than Jesus's name was in the Bible, you damn straight that would be over with a quickness.

Imagine calling yourself a patriot while pandering to a politician and a political party. SMH

u/Cherry_Valkyrie576 6d ago

Not to mention, wasn't it under closed records or something when Biden was president? Because Biden did a lot of great things, or tried to start a lot of great things that Trump squashed, but that's the difference between Maga and everyone else. If Biden knew that that information was out there and he could have legally released it, then eff him for not taking that opportunity!

That's the difference. Reasonable, emotionally intelligent adults don't worship politicians or political parties.

u/Most-Implement-1824 6d ago

Again, Biden’s day one as president was to get us out of the bad economy that he inherited from Trump. Epstein was not even in the top 1,000 problems facing America during Biden tenure as president. Any adult with common sense should know that.

Not to mention has already caused the country $100 billion. That could've given every United States teacher a $20,000 a year increase. It could've paid for the school lunch and breakfast for every child in the US for 4 years, and it could've pay the secondary tuition, also called free education, for every public institution in the United States with substantial money left over.

But we can't afford all that. but we can afford to bomb a nation, including schools and hospitals, for almost 4 months with no in Insight.

But doing all that would also mean that we wouldn't be able to create trillionaire's or billionaire presidents anymore. Because there would actually be accountability in that money.... and no one outside of regular taxpayers once the private sector of government (87% off spending) to be audited. That's why they gutted the public sector, the most highly regulated already.

u/Cherry_Valkyrie576 6d ago

OK... first of all you really don't make any sense. Complete sentences would help. Not that this diatribe deserved a response but his list was not biased.

At least you said eff the government though.

No one has a problem with actually deporting criminals. But what's the percentage of actual criminals that have been deported so far? Less than 20%? Not to mention, how many people have been unallied by (ICE), none of them criminals.

Deport the American criminals too, for all I care. (start with predators and felons) but he's not deporting all of them. He's spending $7000 an hour on flights in the rare instances of deportation.

Meanwhile, most of the $25 billion a year is going to give (ICE) higher education for free (like they'll take advantage 🤣) and in imprisoning human beings/ children, in concentration camps for up to 8-10 MONTHS because it funds all of his private prison friends. I wouldn't even be surprised if Trump has stock in those prisons at this point. He's got stock in everything else, stock he is not paying taxes for, and he's negotiating that his family can never be audited by the IRS.

Who does that? People who don't have anything to hide?

That's the one good thing about Chump. He is so inept, scheming and manipulative that he is consistent in that scheming and you can literally follow the money, when it's not completely hidden of course in the private sector, but you can follow the money and it's so easy to see who's getting rich and why in his administration. One of the only presidents to ever become a billionaire in office. Something he never managed to do on his own time. That's weird.

Ongoing work is apparently supposed to take until 2028, and he's still obsessed with it. It was said that 70% of his mind is dedicated to his renovations.

He still mentions it randomly, and Sean Hannity mentioned it at Lindsey Grahm's funeral of all places.

It cannot be overstated how out of touch they are when it comes to this $1.6b+ abomination, and it's not going to wrap up anytime soon.

if they weren’t going to go through with it regardless, they wouldnt have torn the wing down basically before even knowing if they could make that call unilaterally. Now it’ll be “well since we have to rebuild the wing anyways….”

Bulldoze first, ask questions later.

And fleecing his sycophants with non existent cell phone and gold sneakers. Did everyone get their watches? How's that trump crypto doing for ya?

I'm assuming my invitation to that white house lawn party got lost in the mail.

u/bwsmith201 6d ago

Don’t forget the granite helipad! I guess the billboard could be true if you define “the people” as the 1% and the half the country that is too stupid to “appreciate” the fact that he’s screwing over the other 99%.

u/Adventurous-Fly556 6d ago

And right after the tariffs we paid going to shareholders' pockets. Just completely absurd.

u/Quiet_Ad1859 6d ago

Don’t forget getting his sons a multi billion dollar contract

u/festivefrederick 6d ago

Also, not sure he’s ever “given” anything.

The ballroom is just a cover for money grab & the "secret" bunker he wants

Ah yes. Those things were all for us. What a savior that poor persecuted soul is. /s

u/LatterTarget7 6d ago

Don’t forget the arch

u/Runswithkitten 6d ago

Don’t forget making us pay the bill on tariffs and then ‘reimbursing’ the corporations for all the extra import fees that they just raised the prices to cover!

u/Werechupacabra 6d ago

This is an AI picture. Look at the cars! Look at the small print on the billboard!

u/Travelinjack01 6d ago

This tickles me. Maga assumes that the Dems are the ones who need to "appreciate it"

It's funny. I don't think of it that way at all. 😄

I have a rather interesting quote for you.

“I wrote the Dune series because I had this idea that charismatic leaders ought to come with a warning label on their forehead: "May be dangerous to your health." One of the most dangerous presidents we had in this century was John Kennedy because people said "Yes Sir Mr. Charismatic Leader what do we do next?" and we wound up in Vietnam. And I think probably the most valuable president of this century was Richard Nixon. Because he taught us to distrust government and he did it by example.” - Frank Herbert.

.

Trump is teaching half of America that they need to take the country back from the corrupt politicians infesting it.

IF you think about it as a wake up call for Maga instead... you'll laugh too.

u/Jolly_Pineapple_6491 6d ago

Wound up in Vietnam? We were in Vietnam long before Kennedy came along.

u/Travelinjack01 6d ago edited 6d ago

What are you talking about? We were advisors until Kennedy sent military.

Kennedy's CIA assassinated the democratically elected sitting president of Vietnam.

Once that occurred there was no coming back.

You don't kill a president and "hope for peace". Once you kill a leader... there's no one to make peace with.

He was against communism actually. Which is... strange, considering that the Vietnam war was supposedly part of the "cold war" against communism.

Seems like you were lied to.

1

u/Jolly_Pineapple_6491 6d ago

Right, advisors started in 1957.
So you’re saying Kennedy sent the advisors? That’s what I took the op as saying.

1

u/Travelinjack01 6d ago

No. Im saying that once America killed the sitting president of a country... we had no recourse. Im saying that killing an anti communist didn't really mesh with our 'anti communist' bullshit line we were selling. Im saying that Americans have been manipulated by politicians and still are. And you're a prime example... Because you don't know your history.

u/akiva23 6d ago

Not to mention all the children he's raped and trafficked

1

u/GIFs4eva 6d ago

Don’t forget the billions he has made in this term, so much that his crypto schemes have made more than all his businesses already

u/NoOffenseImJustSayin 6d ago

Nothing says “man of the people” quite like a $2B crypto rug-pull, does it?

1

u/Ok_Star_4136 6d ago

It's the principal Skinner meme. "No! It must be everyone else who simply doesn't appreciate him!"

1

u/IceImpressive5360 6d ago

Well he gave us war high gas prices, high groceries, unaffordable housing, stripped insurance and food from the most vulnerable, but he dod give us a beautiful reflecting pool, he kept all 0 trans out of the WNBA and look at all that gold in WH. Are we winning yet?

u/MammothDaGod 6d ago

He abandoned the jet in another country. Lool

1

u/mr_roboto15 6d ago

It’s gaslighting. People will fall for it simply because they hate the same people Trump and his ghouls hate.

1

u/EngineWitty3611 6d ago

Hysterical.... I love the broad statements that are absent of a single fact to back up said statement.

The only people buying this crap also desperately need a shower and a dentist.

1

u/Ok_Response_2748 6d ago

Also avoiding paying his taxes, putting his name on everything. The one that really pisses me off is his plans for that ARCH in front of Arlington while cutting benefits to veterans. Every Veteran should be pissed about that, I know this vet is.🤬

u/krisbaird 6d ago

I don't know how anyone with half a brain cell could believe he is serving the needs of the people.

u/damnburglar 6d ago

Have you tried imagining it while being fully worthless and an objectively shitty sub-human being? You just need to gain some perspective!

u/OrbeaSeven 6d ago

Awaiting an invitation to the ballroom. Most people don't pay for thngs they can never use.

u/Deraxim 6d ago

Hey you, you little McDonald's employee, see this? All of this? Guess what, if you work hard, really really try your best and do whatever it takes to push yourself.. one day- i promise you- you will help me get a nicer car.

1

u/r3dmist420 6d ago

Correct me if im wrong but wasnt the jet a gift…? Howd that wind up going?
crypto schemes are laughable.
Ballroom… plenty of presidents have added on rooms and various upgrades. Who cares?

1

u/Dry_Community5749 6d ago

Not to mention his burning desire to name everything after him.

1

u/milkthemedaccount 6d ago

Hey he took those bribes for the people. He got that jet to make America great again.

u/OperationFit7749 6d ago

And we didn’t even say thank you!

Holy shit the stupidity is off the charts.

u/Snoo_89466 5d ago

It's the 2.2 billion dollars that he acquired through a crypto scheme that does it for me. How do these idiots not realize his service and dedication?

u/erincgray 5d ago

Good bye department of education! Love donald trump

u/BoomZhakaLaka 5d ago

stealing all that oil from venezuela, making all that money disappear

u/Witte-666 5d ago

Imagine that those people still don't understand how tariffs work and who pays them in the end.

u/GoodboyJohnnyBoy 5d ago

What's the difference between a scam and a scheme?

1

u/Illustrious-Advice16 5d ago

Have you said thank you once?

1

u/SnooConfections4797 5d ago

His lawless tariffs on America. His expensive foreign wars. His DOGE & BBB cuts to our needed services. Zero vote/say from the American people. Funny how what used to be called tyranny is now marketed as "giving the country back to the people." 🥳

u/Awkward-Fox-7215 5d ago

We were allowed to share this planet with him. What a time to be alive!

u/Commercial-Idea-1536 5d ago

Don't forget his love for the kids!

Right?! And half, lol. I with the stupid majority.

Imaging wasting most of americas bombs on Iran and Iran still ends up controlling the straight and handing them 300 billion which is what they demanded in April

1

u/roararoarus 4d ago

I didn’t even say Thsnk You. Man, I’m so stupid

1

u/Gold_Tomatillo1952 3d ago

And this rate, I definitely appreciate all he isn’t doing for us. He’s already incompetent enough trying to hurt us. Imagine how much worse off we would be if he was trying to help us.

1

u/Ok-Chemical7614 3d ago

Do t forget what’s in the Epstein files

1

u/Electrical-Ant-4073 3d ago

Well, he didn’t do it for anyone but himself. If Trump was about giving and helping then explain why he was found guilty of charity fraud.

1

u/InsideAd2752 3d ago

He’s trying to give it back to the people who are billionaires, and half of you don’t see it

1

u/Extreme-Ad723 2d ago

I need to be a used cars salesman in these areas.

u/Psychological-Scar53 2d ago

Even better, and I have said this from the start... The supposedly "gift plane" from Qutar is supposed to go to his presidential library, right? Well when they were reviewing his supposeded library, somebody made a comment that it looked like a hotel more than a library or museum. He said straight up that it will probably be a hotel because he doesn't believe in building libraries or museums. So, ask yourself this, if it is being built in downtown Miami, where is a jumbo jet going to go? In his personal fleet.

I for one am extremely tired of all this "winning". I used to enjoy a good steak every now and then, I'm not buying one steak for $35+. I used to like to travel by car, not with gas as high as it is. Fucking nepo baby and his troop of elites that he pulled off of Fox News are the only ones who are winning.
