The Reich Wing Nazi douchbags will NEVER take responsibility for Dotard's stupidity.

(7,496 posts)If Iran retaliates and it ends up being a deadly attack anywhere, here or abroad, it was because Biden didn't do anything and he had to do something or some other nonsense.
He never accepts responsibility for anything, unless it is something good. Just like he kept claiming during Biden's presidency, that the stock market was doing great because of him. He becomes president, the stock market tanks and it's Biden's fault. Make it make sense!

(4,802 posts)There are so many dots that can be connected back to the evil Rethuglican party. They keep starting BS wars for fun and profit because IT WORKS! They always get away with their evil deeds. GeeDumbya and Cheney The Dick should have faced a war crimes trial in The Hague. Shit like this is just tolerated because people don't know the truth about what these fkers have done to our country. If there is ever a real investigation into the events of 9/11/01, the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) should be Exhibit A.

Israel retaliated for the October 7 brutal terrorist attack. Its on them for not finding a way to back off just as its on Hamas for being terrorists from the get-go.
As for us as of today, whatever Hell is visited on our troops overseas or our civilians on our own soil that is on us, thanks to Trump, Musk, MAGAGOP, and oligarchs.

(2,388 posts)... that you are right. But entrenched interests sabotaged their campaigns in order to maintain control by crusty old white guys too weak of character to acknowledge the strength of supremely qualified women. Sadly, I am a crusty old white guy two years shy of eighty, but I supported both Clinton and Harris.
I firmly believe that the ONLY way that this country can redeem itself is to reveal to the nation the malignant machinations that enabled a corrupt madman to usurp the presidency, remove, and prosecute, Trump and his entire misadministration, and give Kamala Harris her rightful place in the Oval Office. That is but the first step in cleaning up the shitshow that Republicans created.
Oh, and burn the Electoral College at the stake, never to supersede the will of the people ever again.

Twenty years later, I'm still waiting to see the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. There weren't any then and there aren't any now. I hope Barron Trump gets drafted to fight in this new war.
Bush god damnit
I doubt this will lead to a war that involves the United States. However, if there is a war, neither Barron Trump nor any other Trump child will be fighting in the war.
Do not get me wrong. I do not support these strikes. I think they were stupid. I just do not think the blowback from Iran will be that great. I do not think they have the capability to strike back in a large way.

(2,388 posts)... will not just be from Iran which most assuredly DOES have the capability to inflict massive damage to this country and its interests but from every Muslim country that the US has trashed since 1953's treachery against Mohammed Mosaddegh, the democratically elected leader of Iran, because he refused to allow the UK to falsely claim rights to his country's oil reserves. Instead, we gave them Shah(?) Rezi Pahlavi and his murderous SAVAK. Yeah, he was an asshole, but he was OUR asshole.
Funny how every conflict in the MidEast leaves a bloody trail back to Britain's grotesquely misguided foreign policies stretching back more than a century. Guess it was just too hard to let go of that whole "The sun never sets on the British empire" thing.

(345 posts)capability is considerable. If they turn off our electricity/water/gas that's a big deal. On the other hand, if Iran completely backs down, then Trump will get credit. Some Democrats in Congress have already praised him.

(34,351 posts)he's lived so little life, and now he'll probably be swallowed up by the MAGA's. Although he interned at the Heritage Foundation so I guess he was already on his way. But still sad.
When Thomas Fugate graduated from college last year with a degree in politics, he celebrated in a social media post about the exciting opportunities that lay beyond campus life in Texas. Onward and upward! he wrote, with an emoji of a rocket shooting into space.
His career blastoff came quickly. A year after graduation, the 22-year-old with no apparent national security expertise is now a Department of Homeland Security official overseeing the governments main hub for terrorism prevention, including an $18 million grant program intended to help communities combat violent extremism.

(26 posts)There once was a strike in Iran,
Launched swift by the Trumpian plan.
Though talks were delayed,
Three sites were waylaid
Then he posted, "Now peace, if we can!"
Trump said with a smirk and a flair,
We bombed themjust trying to be fair.
Three nukes took a hit,
Then he tweeted (no shit),
Lets all take a moment for prayer.
Three sites in the desert went black,
As bombers began their attack.
With peace on his tongue,
The war was begun
And none watched the world turning back.
