We’re the country that needs regime change. And Israel

Can we sign up Barron to go to war or does he have bone spurs too?

Sakina's avatar

Good one, Donnab!

donnab's avatar

Thanks, Sakina. It's easy for the wealthy to declare war and then send poor kids to fight it. Trump has no morality.

The closer they get to Lutnick and Rump, the more they need to obfuscate and what better way than starting a war. The pathetic neutered Rs in Congress are willing to give up everything for their fuhrer.

You are so correct! More distractions from the billionaire pedophiles, our failing economy, soaring debt, People struggling without healthcare and more. Once he bankrupts the country, then what? We become a big banana republic.

I'd like to know the effectiveness of the Iranian counter attacks and also the Israeli role in the attacks on Iran. I think this is wrongheaded. Will Trump also soon be attacking Cuba? And then try to take Greenland with military force? It is time for regime change -- in the U.S.

Is that George Bush "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banner around anywhere? The White House wants to hang it off the balcony.

Donnie Dementia has started a war with Iran, putting the lives of thousands of American service men and women in harm's way. Yet another distraction from the mountains of not-yet-deleted evidence in the Epstein Files of non-consensual sexual encounters with underage girls our beloved Pedophile-In-Chief partook in.

Having ICE kill innocent ordinary Americans ran its course as a distraction. The strangling of the American economy (unless you're one of the lucky 10 percent), continues to linger but doesn't have as much of a headline-grabbing impact as it was supposed to. That 17-page plan to Federalize the 2026 Election was supposed to be another days/weeks-long distraction, but was immediately shot down by scores of legal experts. The rapid spread of Measles throughout the country was supposed to have the same headline-generating impact as Covid, but continues to sit "below the fold" on an inside page. Even the dog-and-pony show with the Clinton testimony only became news because Lauren Boebert leaked photos from inside the sealed room (the sexual groping of men inside theaters no longer has the zing it used to), and James Comer established precedent that now opens both Melanoma and Donnie to sworn testimony. Will Boebert leak photos of Donnie falling asleep in the middle of his testimony?

But Back to the Middle East and Iran.

Iran is an immediate "threat" to the security and stability of the Middle East, or so goes the story (i.e. distraction) KKKaroline ("how has that cross I wear so prominently, not yet burst into flames?") Leavitt puts forth. (God, how much I miss CJ Cregg - and yes, I know she's a fictional character.)

Saudi Arabia had the resources to brutally murder Jamal Khashoggi, but is unable to take any actions against an immediate threat on its doorstep. Qatar can donate (grift?) (bribe?) a 747 to Donnie, but also can't do anything about an immediate threat on their doorstep. Other countries in the Middle East have "invested" billions into Trump Family "businesses" (including the billions given to Jared Kushner and conveniently-pardoned dad), but are incapable of defending themselves against an immediate threat on their doorstep. From the sound of it, a boatload of Peruvian fishermen could just dock their ship and take over most of the Middle East using fishing poles as weapons.

The American soldiers killed during this military action will be buried with full military honors (as they should be), but instead of dying for a noble purpose, Donnie views them as expendable so long as it's one more day that we're not focusing on the Epstein Files. The country is f*cked, but this is what the MAGAts voted for, and don't even need Doug Flutie's "Boner Pills" to be sporting woodies today.

Excellent breakdown sir.

Where is Congress??? Why aren't those who know better doing something? Speak out! A couple of courageous republicans in the house could resign - tipping control to the Dems. But they will allow the world to go up in flames before ceding power!

I am so freaken tired of living in this regime and seeing our checks and balances being muzzled 🤬

Rick in CO's avatar

Hey, what ever happened to those Epstein headlines?

Wonne's avatar

He and his POS friend Netanyahu are going to find out what real war is like. I pity the Israeli people. Even his rich friends in Qatar are upsetting the balance in the world ALL to cover up his Epstein ties! DISGUSTING.

AdrianB's avatar

You should also “pity” the US citizens and those from other countries who will feel the collateral impact of this declared war on Iran.

Wonne's avatar

Our men and women in the military will pay the price. That is a given.

Chris C's avatar

Maybe we should send ICE to Iran and let our military stay home.

Chris C's avatar

So it’s Fake Bone Spurs’ version of WMD, “and you want to be my latex salesman (Nobel Peace Prize) and knock out the Epstein files all in one big fat mess to match his Orange ass. And Mike Wimpy McWimpface sitting in his corner like a little scared boy. I’m not sure what all this fealty to FBS is getting the GOP right now. Sick of it.

AdrianB's avatar

Now this country will pay for allowing Trump to be in the White House …not to mention the collateral damage about to impact other countries. Congress should take the blame for not wrenching their rightful power to stop this Orange Peril.

Inside trading is happening. Dell stock went up and oil funds by huge margins...... Dell, were contributors to Trump... FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!!!!!

F !! Nasty pit in stomach, glum mood. Biff on world stage bullying many other nations, escalating from tariffs. Supreme lifelong scofflaw DARES anyone stop him, niece Mary warned us, the US. Since 2003 and the electively created war in Iraq I’ve been immensely against US poking big nose in other nation’s business. Christian Nationalist extremists will be cheering on involvement with Israel and “let’s bring on the end times !!” ?? I just buzzed through “Signs of Low IQ” video and can’t help but see shoes that fit and that alarms me especially in current times/situation: https://youtu.be/LQU48HE4GcU?si=KblHfYcsnsFN6ok2

Pakistan has nukes. I wonder if they will give them to Iran, so that they can nuke Israel. Why haven't the Republicans done anything to reign in the President. I will be calling my republican reps and senators in Arkansas to IMPEACH Trump..... This president is killing Americans, immigrants, and now Iranians and they think this is GREAT.... I can't believe our military is going along with this.... I hope the Iranians give us the Trump/Epstein videos and files

Sakina's avatar

My question is, will he use this illegal war as the "emergency" needed to try and suppress and subvert the midterms? Blue states better take Marc Elias' recommendations to protect their elections right now. I thought of Iraq, too, when he claimed that Iran could have nukes ready in a day or days. Only an idiot would fall for that argument again.

Catherine Lugg's avatar

This is just a spectacular blunder. One analyst noted that Iran is bigger than Germany and Japan during WWII. And we only won that war largely thanks to the Soviet Union.

This is a grand cluster f*ck.

It isn't the US that is getting Venezuela oil, it is his friend and MEGA donor, Paul Singer who bought Citgo for pennies on the dollar last year.

A war with Iran will

1. Help his friend Bibi, who is in hot water and in danger of going to jail

2. Distract from Trump Epstein

3. Provide him an excuse to declare a national emergency and suspend the constitution, for the same reason that Bush invaded Iraq, you don't change war time presidents.

4. There is inherent conflict between Saudi Arabia and Ian over the leadership of Islam.

it is a 1400 year conflict between the Sunnis (followers of Muhammad) and Shia (followers of Ali, the cousin and first student of Muhammad), In Islam it is a serious squabble, especially since the Iran's are not Arabs, and have long detested the Arabs

The great Iranian poet, Ferdowsi ,whom the educated Iran can quote, Lament the battle of Kerbala where an Arab Army defeated the grandson of Al;i and Iran became Muslim.

Here is what Ferdowsi, wrote in the Shahameh Book of Kings)

From feeding on desert lizards and camels milk,

so have the affairs of the Arab prospered,

Thjat they long for the empire of Khosrau

Shome on, O circling Heaven, shame

then later,

Damn on on this World, Damn on this Time, Damn on Fate,

That uncivilized Arabshave forced me ,to be Muslim

In 1789 Khomeini send a suicide squad into Makka during the Haj, to take the Qaba,.

There was a supposed attempt at rapproachment between the two, that died with Oct 7, 2023.

Outside of the Mullahs, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and a minority of the population. I don't think that most Iranians care to be Muslim, for their has been no revolt in other Muslim countries against the theocracy as there has been in Iran.

The Problem is that if Trump attacks Iran, then the Iranians will fall back as all nations do on patriotiotic natonalism., especially when there lives and homes are being destroyed.

The regime needs to be decapitated without hurting the people.
