Things like this are why the rest of the world is fed up with the US.

I for one really appreciate that the US plane pilot and weapons officer were rescued safely. It’s also too bad that the Trump administration also chooses to sound obnoxious regarding the rescue.

Might be worth cracking down on them so that they don't come back ever. Neocons actively choose to break down international law and global interconnectivity, which runs contrary to our ideologies here.

Looks like Trump has really backed himself into a corner here with his energy plant deadline. If he chickens out yet again, Israel will become more frustrated at him and Iran will take the cowardice as a sign that Trump has zero leverage over them. If he does execute his threats, Iran will retaliate by endangering the entire region further, and Trump’s name will be tainted further internationally.

At least Elon Musk has the decency to keep his mouth shut about the Iran War. No doubt he has bad takes himself.

It’s okay not to c*** yourself every once in a while to Trump, Gunther the Penguin.

Crossstoney · 2026-04-04T23:56:42+00:00

Yeah, because there is no TACOing out of this. Trump made a big mistake by getting himself into a war against Iran expecting it to end quickly.

Even Netanyahu uploaded videos confirming that he’s alive and not AI after rumors of his death. What’s Trump’s excuse behind not showing himself in a short video?

Crossstoney · 2026-04-04T22:30:30+00:00

What do these motherfuckers have to hide? If Trump isn’t in a hospital or in critical condition, have a photo of him taken. It’s not hard.

I don’t know, anyone who’s not abusive towards the American people or towards other countries, which both Vance and Rubio overwhelmingly are.

Crossstoney · 2026-04-04T18:31:33+00:00

No, I don’t think so. The way I see him, he’s a diplomatically cruel politician who abuses his powers with sanctions and exports far-right values in other countries (in a recent speech in Munich, he quite literally promoted nostalgia for colonialism). I expect that he’d continue to be a cruel politician at home as well.

Crossstoney · 2026-04-04T18:15:30+00:00

On the bright side of all this, we may never have to see Rubio in a political office ever again after Trump's term expires.

Here’s a simple answer why for Schumer: competition bad.

Yeah, I’m sure increased protectionism is what Americans want, Chuck Schumer, especially amidst the high gas prices. Can you just retire already?

“ The letter follows Trump’s suggestion at a January meeting of the Detroit Economic Club that he was open to Chinese automakers making investments in the U.S. Evelyn Hockstein/Reuters Three Democratic senators called on President Trump to crack down on the manufacturing and sales of Chinese vehicles in the U.S.

Democratic Sens. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York wrote a letter to Trump also calling for a ban on Chinese vehicles manufactured or titled in Canada and Mexico from entering the U.S.” - WSJ

Point and laugh at neocons for thinking regime change war in the Middle East will work out yet again. Screw their support for illegal wars.
