Thanks, Trump!

Iran claims in control, yet it Iran on the receiving end of all the damage being inflicted....

Oh really? Higher gas prices, higher costs on everything, LNG shortage, helium shortage, fertilizer shortage, US soldiers killed, at least one billion being spent every day, Gulf States and US military bases under attack, countries around the world facing power and supply shortages...

It's nothing much to us just having to deal with higher costs but sometimes you gotta think outside the plastic bubble.

Being against a stupid and unnecessary war isn't cheering for the other side. You warmongers said the same thing about Iraq, where the US was "welcomed with rose petals".

The "plan", which was just "bomb them and we'll get everything we want in a couple of days" didn't work and will not work. Bombing people does not make them love you. The hardliners are still in charge and are more hardline than ever.

How many more months or years of "the Strait is open and they're begging for a deal" every single day is it going to take for you to finally realize Trump is not telling the truth and has no idea what to do?

Hmm I don't think we're going to hear about this from RFK Jr. or the right-wing media.

"It's very strong. You couldn't - if you had a knife - I don't want to give anybody ideas. If you had a knife, you can't even cut it, so strong, so powerful." - Donald Trump on May 4th, before any reports of damage

I'm starting to wonder if the incompetence was part of the plan. What are the odds Trump would talk nonsense about cutting the pool with a knife only for him to end up claiming it actually happened?

How convenient that the Trump-friendly company gets to overcharge for the job twice!

The Trump presidency in a nutshell. Only cared about being able to boast of a world record. So many fireworks going off at once you could only see flashes behind smoke. Then everyone has to choke on it all night and the next morning.

The terribly run Kennedy Center will be charging $25,000 for VIP rooftop tickets so the wealthy can better enjoy the fireworks spectacle.

In NYC, Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) is offering 100,000 free seats in designated areas for the masses to enjoy the fireworks show.

Ooh, capitalism vs. "communism"

And Trump's now blathering on about how Iran has to buy corn and soybeans...

Before the damage started showing, Trump said something very strange.

"It's very strong. You couldn't - if you had a knife - I don't want to give anybody ideas. If you had a knife, you can't even cut it, so strong, so powerful."

What an odd thing to say. Why would anyone think about "cutting" a pool? Why would anyone even think about someone "cutting" a pool?

Lo and behold, now he's saying that's exactly what happened.

I'm going to start a pool repair and renovation business. Apparently all you need to start resurfacing the sealant is a box cutter. Just cut the sealant and peel it off. Easy money.

America First! And by America I mean two of its wealthiest families.

Another weekend of attacking Iran after the markets close then agreeing to talks before they open. Did you all have a nice weekend making millions from the stock market manipulation?

It's true though. Iran and Afghanistan would be a lot different if the UK, US and USSR weren't screwing over those countries for decades. Look up pictures of Iran and Afghanistan in the 1950s. A lot of it is like looking at 1950s America.

There's no excuse for Iran and Afghanistan's treatment of women but I think it's pretty fair to lay blame on their regimes and how they became that way.

Trump can bomb and bluster all he wants but Iran holds all the cards. They've been dealing with attacks and sanctions for decades. They can easily hold out for years. The past few months are like a blink of an eye.

The first time a paraplegic walks / spinal cord victim / or ALS victim survives thanks to
NEURALINK FROM ELON MUSK...I hope he/she walks up to a leftist punk and
beats the crap out of them...

Surely that'll be happening... next year.

Yep, I'm really looking forward to getting a computer chip implanted into my brain so I'll never have to buy a smartphone again(Musk has actually claimed this will happen). Too bad about all those dead kids though. Oh well.

Oh, so this is why the US is losing to Iran. Wokeness! DEI! CRT!

Hegseth won't be embarrassed by this. He'll still take credit for scrapping the rule and ignore the fact that it was a really dumb thing to do.

WLFI, $TRUMP and $MELANIA all down 80 - 96%. We know the answer to this but it still needs to be asked - how can the owner of a crypto that's lost all value make a profit in the billions?

As in, it should against the law. It's outright fraud. It makes Ponzi schemes look like church raffles.

It's absolutely disgusting. Gushes praise over the likes of Putin, Kim Jong-Un and Orbn, lies about and insults the closest allies. Behind their backs!

More proof that needing to terminate a pregnancy isn't just lazy women deciding they don't want to have a child at the last minute. Why do a bunch of strangers(who aren't doctors) get to choose whether people(only women, of course) live or die?

These used to be the kind of stories you only heard about from countries like North Korea, China, Afghanistan...

"And from where I sit, in my chair, at my desk, in my office, I say you are making a grave mistake in not sending your young men to war, threatening our interests of a Greater Israel.'

Some Trumpets are claiming people are "cutting" the pool coating. I'd sure like to know how that would be possible.

Anyway, arrest those who are responsible for the vandalism - Trump and the pool guy.

Only Trump could make the Iranian regime look downright reasonable and rational. Just when we think he may have come to his senses he has a complete meltdown and temper tantrum. How can anyone respect or condone this?

Meanwhile, the entire world gets to suffer while we all know he's going to have to agree to their terms eventually anyway.

Elon fanboys are all saying there's no way Autopilot could be at fault. Okay - so what happened to all the promises going back years that Tesla's could drive themselves? What happened to Automatic Emergency Braking and all the other safety features?

CHOOSING to go to war with a country for no good reason, completing NO military objectives and and blowing maybe half a trillion dollars in just a few months is not the same as WWII.
