Exit the Iran War and move back to the Epstein files?
Puerto Rico not having water?
Inflation?
Destruction of national parks?
ICE killings?
The reflecting pool being destroyed by Trump's motorcade?
The destruction of the White House?
Our failing healthcare system?
Climate change?
Dead Mitch McConnell voting?
The pentagon "misplacing" 1.5 trillion?
Israel's continuing genocide in Gaza?
Israel's continued colonization of the West Bank?
Israel's continued occupation of southern Lebanon?
Trump's continued looting of our taxes?
Why?
This war is great.

The war will end when Trump he admits that he made a mistake, and Trump never admits that.

Because Iran will never surrender to Trumpy.
Never ever. They will continue to try and humiliate him (and us) as long as they can.
Oh, if he'd only see ... That the joke was on he..

And nothing would make you and your liberals happier then to see this country fail.

Pakistan should get the Nobel Peace Prize for their tireless efforts to end Lewzer's war.

"And nothing would make you and your liberals happier then to see this country fail."
It is YOU who wanted America to fail, fascist. That is why you voted for Trump, not once, not twice, but all three times.

see this country fail.

Trump should have gone to Congress with his war, but instead decided to play dictator.
He failed this country by doing that.
The country is failing by not insisting he do that.

Trumpy is not the country.
The country is not going to fail.
Dum Dum (with no "b") is just slowing us down.

'scuse meh???? You're the dope that voted for Trumpanzee!
Seriously!
30 years fighting clown demons in the... 40 years if you count the US backing Osama bin Laden against the Russians... the baby brother of Bushturd 2's business partner... because it's always about bizness with you numbskulls... in Afghanistan... then Iran... Fighting on two fronts... against two different countries crushed by economic sanctions... that had already been bombed back to the Middle Ages... according to your wishes... pitting the greatest military in the whirrled... armed to the manbewbs... only to lose.... against the two "soft targets."... of scrawny rag tag armies of citizen soldiers... armed with ingenuity.
You're all hot to do it again... to a nation in much better shape... seems to me... your commitment to losing propositions for the USA is well established.
I sure miss the days when righwingnut media showed HumVees... mighty military transport ... unloaded one week... all shiny and powerful... the following week soldiers in the motor pool scrounging junkyards for scrap metal to bolster the failed armor cladding... sending troops home in small pieces. Y'all even turned those into a Christian war... and we still lost! Maybe you should talk to Jayzus about our nation's failure to win the hearts and minds.

It'll end when the next administration agrees to appropriate reparations.

I think you're right. Ya knowwwwww.... Richard Nixon extended the Vietnam conflict to get re-elected... Trumpanzee may try to push it until the end of his term... if the old fart lasts long enough... so he can blame someone else for surrender.
We mucked around in Vietnam for 21 years (1955-1975) without calling it a war.
I'm glad people are calling this war right out of the gate.

Your fat bald pedo bitch took a wrecking ball to Washington D.C., murdered American citizens, murdered thousands of poor people, bombed fishermen, raped children and you suck his ---------. ---- you.

If that were the case, we would have voted for Trump.
You voted for Trump.
The country is failing.
Are you happy?

Wump used up all the missiles for his war in Inam. What a loser and war criminal.

Decapitation doesn't work other than to create decades long implacable enemies. Imagine someone killing your wife and child and many of your friends...would you just shrug and say...war happens, or would you be determined to hunt down and kill each and every monster who killed your family? Trump's family can never feel safe, and this war, which we thought would be one quickly, has just been aligned with the centuries old Sunni (Saudi)vs Shia (Iran) deadly Civil War. Stupidity runs our government, it is not a good way to protect the American people, not that that is what Trump is doing I suppose.

Amazing huh?
We all warned him. Yet. He still voted for a twice impeached Convicted Felon and now he's trying to blame liberals for his own failure to recognize the reality and the danger of choosing to FAFO. .

That idiot broke it and can't fix it
- President Trump said Wednesday the U.S. has "total control" over the Strait of Hormuz, a claim Iran has disputed and that comes as ships are hesitant to pass through the waterway. "I THINK WE WILL KEEP IT," he wrote on his Truth Social platform - The number of vessels tracked transiting the Strait of Hormuz fell to a one-week low of eight, according to data reported by the Reuters news agency. About 130 ships a day passed through the vital waterway before the war started on Feb. 28. - Six people on a vessel in the Red Sea were killed by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels, Yemen's coast guard said Tuesday. www.cbsnews.com
