Tuesday, March 10, 2026

The administration's war with Iran is setting a mountain of taxpayer dollars on fire every day -- mostly because he doesn't know what he's doing.

The man is, whatever his other faults, just way in over his head. Maybe Democrats should say that more often. The fact that he's costing taxpayers a billion dollars a day on a war most of them didn't want may be a good place to start. trib.al/oQGYMWP

Trump's mind and heart are knots of worms.

The Really, Really Bad Thing hasn't quite happened yet.

But the man is working on it.

And still no money for universal healthcare as enjoyed by the residents of Germany, Israel, Greenland, Canada, and tiny little Albania.

"Enjoy the BBB, rising health insurance premiums, abominable paperwork, poor health outcomes, and medical bankruptcies while we spend billions of your taxpayer dollars killing the people of Iran."

He taco'd after Vlad told him to on the phone call.

It must be hell to have two different masters.... one Israel threatening to expose him unless he attacks Iran and one Russia threatening to expose him if he continues to attack Iran.

That problem could have never happened if he only didn't rape children.

We're all paying the price for uninformed voters who don't understand enough about the world around them to understand how to vote in their own interests.

For example, all of this nonsense really boils down to the price of eggs leading up to the election.

Please. Somebody. Tell me the myth of Trump's competence. I have not heard this one.

Unfortunately, the line has been crossed and there is no going back with this administration in power and I doubt Iran would want to deal with a replacement Democrat led administration either. We are at war folks. Everything happening was 100% foreseeable yet our odious orange pedo couldn't not do it and couldn't be bothered to prepare before doing it - Epstein files were too close especially with the detailed accusations being finally released.

That said, how on earth was our military NOT prepared for the conflict? The hordes of Iranian drones and missiles? We had to go begging to Ukraine AFTER they were hitting all over the middle east? Was that arrogance, incompetence or both? Iron Dome appears to be less effective against Iran's ballistic missiles then was thought. Running out of Patriot Missiles too I am hearing. We SHOULD have been manufacturing them by the truck load well before all this happened. I am sure people like Kegseth were both arrogant and incompetent and squashed any preparations as un-needed as our mighty air superiority would just crush them. Now it is clear they are needed. It is also clear that Iran has ways to launch missiles that don't include the destroyed platforms.

A lot more people are going to die. I see boots on the ground to end this now because you can be 100% sure Iran is not stopping without Nukes otherwise. And we have incompetence in charge at every level in the White House, Congress and the Pentagon. Can our generals and admirals pull off a miracle despite that? I just don't now.

When it comes to Patriot Missiles - Asleep at the wheel. Ukraine should have set the production to over 2000k per year years ago. Per Lockheed - As of early 2026, the U.S. is aggressively scaling up production of Patriot (PAC-3 MSE) missiles to meet record global demand, with current output around 600"650 units per year. A new framework agreement with Lockheed Martin aims to triple this rate to approximately 2,000 per year. Where else are we asleep at the wheel?
