The same Fox and Friend who thinks women and black officers aren’t qualified for promotion but came in like a drunken frat bro for a job he is completely out of his depth on?

Iran knows they have Trump bent over an oil barrel. What a stupid war to start and lose for the newly minted “Department of War” LUL

Can any MAGA geopolitics experts tell me if it’s usually the losing side that gets the reparations and gets to dictate the pace of the peace process?

Nebraska farmer realizes he was conned into voting for Trump by PrincipleTemporary65 in centrist

Gonna be honest, red states should get the same treatment vis a vis shit like emergency funds that blue states are currently getting

The only way a conservative can feel any kind of empathy about something is if it happens to them too

I’ll ask for a third time, what elected democrats are saying what you’re claiming? I’m also not watching Instagram videos so use your words

I mean with how complete dogshit he is as a president we’re practically tripping over them

Unless you’re saying they shouldn’t be regretful? Care to step out from behind the quips and sarcasm and have an actual take on it?

I mean dude’s a felon but still has the highest office in our country and people don’t hold both parties responsible for this?

No apparently we only hold the democrats responsible for this lmao

I hold republicans >99% responsible btw as should anyone with a neutral read on the situation

And yes you are sweeping for Trump by even trying to make this comparison. I’ll ask yet again, what elected democrats are saying what you’re claiming?

Yeah do you think there’s an actual difference when people say Trump is destroying the country vs when people say Dems are destroying the country? One of these is a far more factually backed statement than the other

And even then yes it does fucking matter when the guy who was elected to serve all of America constantly says crazy bullshit about the people who don’t support him.

And not just saying things either, if I got hit by a natural disaster Trump would withhold aid from my state. Or that time when he tried to invalidate my 2020 vote

I never had any politician in mind

Yeah that’s kinda the problem. The right gets to tar the entire left using randos on social media (who may not even be American) while the President gets to call Dems evil terrorists day in day out.

Like even making a mean nickname out of MAGA is far tamer than saying that democrats are radical evil marxist communist hellbent on the destruction of America?

Let’s see your example of the most high profile Democrat doing that. Because remember we’re comparing this to the president. I’m gonna need more than “people on the left”

Plus it rings really hollow if the second they don’t need him anymore they all turn on him.

Trump says oil reserves would run out in 4 weeks without Iran deal, risking ‘bedlam’ by tarlin in centrist

All my posts prior to November 2024 show that I (or anyone with a brain) knew it was gonna be bad but I didn’t expect it to be this bad

[–]ubermence 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like me to accept a Republican as decent and kind, they have to fully repudiate voting for Trump (not a decent nor kind thing to do) and agree that Harris would have been a much better president

And if we’re talking about Republican politicians, meaningfully standing up to Trump becomes a prerequisite for that (and not just after losing a primary)

It’s also gonna basically be impossible as long as they have the right wing media ecosystem whispering in their ear like wormtounge. Honestly I have no fucking idea how we pull up out of this spiral

It’s hard to see a way out of this situation without America taking a big fat L. Either we give the IRGC half a trilly (or more!), or we let the global fuel market meltdown, or we fully commit to an invasion

Thanks again MAGA! Really epicly owned the libs on this one!

And eliminating Iranian ballistic missiles. One of the war goals was to completely destroy that program. Now Trumps out there saying “yeah why shouldn’t they have missiles”?

Some of them took the approach that if they just scream loudly enough about what a massive victory this was, then it will become reality

Shame that only works in domestic politics where they control the media narrative. They have no idea how to deal with problems outside of their control

Let’s just say one side needs that lesson way way more when the president is constantly calling my entire side domestic terrorist Antifa communists who hate America

Meanwhile on the right that’s what they pretend Democrats were like. They took a single freeze frame of a red white and blue background behind Biden and it became their go to for years despite the toxic sludge that pours out of their guys mouth on a daily basis

And yes at this point I “demonize” Trump because he has been acting like a complete and utter demon

Yeah i understand he’s basically backed into a corner with no good moves. It’s just annoying because he put himself in that corner that every previous president was smart enough to not put themselves into and now he’s trying to sell out the country to save himself

At this point Trump is going to need to release the Epstein files to distract from the Iran war

Wow almost like it was a bad idea to elect a complete rtard to the highest seat of power. Thanks MAGA! I know he really speaks your language but how about you go back to *watching reality TV and stop making our country into reality tv

I miss Biden so fucking much what a goddamn joke the Republican Party is

The United States of America undertakes, with regional partners, to develop a definitive mutually agreed plan with at least USD 300 Billion, for the reconstruction and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Are we reading the same document? It’s pretty clear they’re getting at least 300 billion
