But, again, and seriously, what did America get out of this stupid war that we didn't have already? And, more importantly, was it worth the cost in material, alliances, and Iranian lives? Crude up $3 and the Dow temporarily up 1150 points (a nice short-term windfall for the Epstein class) are awfully pathetic "wins" to be crowing about when we just threw away billions of dollars in weapons; murdered several hundred Iranian children; and squandered invaluable international goodwill. Who's the small-minded one, king?
The Iranian navy was destroyed. It will be 30 years before Iran has a functioning navy again.
The Iranian air force was severely debilitated. Again, 30 years before they have a functioning air force.
Those are enormous gains for Israel, but the US gets some benefit from them to. (Israel is the huge winner here -- look at all the heavy lifting we did for them and THEN we PAY them for the privilege of doing so).
We killed thousands of Islo-Sunni Iranians, which is always good. A few Shiates too.
We destroyed their nuclear program, which is really good. It will be 7-10 years before they can get back to where they were on whatever it is they were doing.
We weren't able to achieve the goal of regime change or "secular Iran," but that was always fantastical and ridiculous fake-aspiration marketing-to-the-MAGAs sh!t to begin with.
We enacted some measure of revenge for the takeover of the US embassy, which was LONG overdue.
So there are some significant tangible benefits. But I agree, ultimately Trump and Hegsmiths fvcked it with lack of planning, unclear objectives, and ridiculous rhetoric. The ROI on the whole project is WAY in the red (- (neg) $$$$$.00) (boondoggle). I'm just saying that there are some benefits.
Everyone seems concerned about Israel except MAGA. You’re all flipping out. Israel, in case you have all forgotten, does claim scripture to Genesis. Few others do. Certainly not Iran unless you believe the Persia connection…but it’s not written. it’s theory. Israel is clear.
Why you want to annihilate them is beyond me, but it’s certainly nothing we are overly concerned with. We were after long range weapons and nuclear bomb ambitions…and this is what we ended. For everyone.
If the Shias want to pipe bomb Israel that will be Israel’s problem but anyone who thinks MAGA is going to allow Israel to control the Straits, etc anymore than the Shias is bat shlt out of their minds.
You do not know MAGA. You know the MAGA you want to believe you know. We have the power. instead of creating myth out of thin air on Trump, and by automatic extension his voters, you need to join the movement and really feel the power. It’s not with Trump. We give him the power and he hasn’t abused it yet. Performing brilliantly.
And he's also been in contact with the new Venezuelan leadership as well!
I'm polling higher than anybody has ever polled in Venezuela. So after I'm finished with this I can go to Venezuela. I will quickly learn Spanish. It won't take long. I'm good at language. I will go to Venezuela. I'm going to run for president.
You think this is cute Sally, but it’s really just the rambling of an old man spending too much time trying to troll online.
A pathetic use of his short remaining time and a betrayal of the American public. Do some constructive work you fat, bloated clown.
Meh. Your standard politician, L, would never go off teleprompter. Most are like robots, deceptive and have little care for the voters, they are there to make money. It's shocking that someone is shocked by things this guy says, he's been in this spotlight since 2015 and he doesn't give a Frick. W trump. In related news most of these issues are just noise, a big Meh. The border, that's what's important. Border secure, cray cray catch and release policy is over. ICE Patriots are removing POS by the hour. LFG. Godspeed today ICE, gotta catch em' all. :)
🚨BREAKING: Take a look at this illegal alien that was released into the U.S. under a fake asylum claim by Joe Biden and the Democrats.
He just murdered his ex-wife in Orlando, blowing her brains out. She’s a fake asylum seeker too. So much blood spilled for votes. pic.twitter.com/t1BXJilPwS
Investigations are needed into the "biden" years as President. Who was really running the show? Who knew what and when? Prison time needed...........
The same people who are screaming about using the 25th Amendment on Trump, told us all that Joe Biden was mentally fit and sharp as a tack.🤡 pic.twitter.com/1DhuskaZEA
We'll see about this ceasefire. Iran's demands, as listed in its 10-point plan, are completely unacceptable. Either Iran will need to greatly revise its terms or the US will need to cave. Or, more likely, the ceasefire will be only temporary.
I would like to go on record predicting that it will be leaked that Trump agreed to Irans 10 point plan without even reading it.
He is widely known to hate reading anything and he was desperate for any cover he could find to TACO out on his obliteration of a civilization promise.

Does anyone seriously believe there even IS a ceasefire? Israel immediately broke it and Iran closed the Straits.
Trump is desperately grasping for any way to declare victory. Look at the list of demands from Iran. It literally violates every reason that Trump claimed he started the war, yet he is claiming a win. His disciples continue to believe him despite the obvious truth that he and his administration are incompetent.

Over the past year and a half you’ve used your “power” to write over a two thousand posts on a running website message board.
Obama did give them money. Trump did the right thing and if Harris or Biden had done the same, I'd have agreed with them as well.
It was Iran’s money the entire time.
Are you incapable of understanding that before the revolution, money that Iran was paying US contractors was put into an interest-bearing account and that the purchases that money was intended for were voided, so it sat, earning interest while the new Iranian government filed a claim with the Iran-US Claims Tribunal to get it back, and that President George H. W. Bush released $200 million of it to Iran in 1990, or are you just lying?
My understanding is that the money *should* have been put in an interest-bearing account, but was not for some reason. As a result, the amount of interest ($1.3B) was negotiated and added to the remaining principal ($400M).

Trump needs a reason to ride under his future Triumphal Arch in a ticker tape parade. Can't do it without some type of military victory. It matters not if said military victory is real or not in the world of Trump.

This satire is growing a bit flat. Not to edit your craft from the sidelines, but I think you need to switch something up. I always appreciate the confident moron satirical character, but your work is too on the nose these days. It’s cartoonish and it’s distracting from the comedy.
Vonnegut could be a good source to refresh your style! Might as well revisit one of the staples: Breakfast of Champions. Maybe sprinkle more Dwayne Hoover into your bit. I don’t know, I’m not trying to over-lead a creative here, but just a thought.

It will be the most beautiful arc ever built. The biggest arc, the finest arc, the most beautiful arc – that will be the Trump arc.
🚨 HOLY CRAP. The man who brutally m*rdered an innocent gas station clerk in Fort Myers, Florida is a HAITIAN ILLEGAL ALIEN caught and released by Biden in 2022 — Fox's @BillMelugin_
This is jaw-dropping betrayal. HE HAD TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS.

Dude, you are so Trump deranged that you cannot be more wrong on tons of your stuff daily. Iran submitted some 10 point plan and Trump threw it in the garbage, dismissing that one out of hand. It was also stated unequivocally today by Caroline Leavitt, miles better and believable than KJP and flap jack titted Psaki, that tolling would be unacceptable. Period. Iran is completely disabled and thinks they still have cards to play, Trump did the entire world a favor, something the Dems also used to rail about and wish they did. But, all they did under Obama(their money back to them or not,) he gave $1.7 B to THEM, and Biden over $6B. For 47 years anyone in office said how bad Iran was, Trump disables them in essentially 40 days, and you folks are so sick, you think it's a bad idea. It's just another indicaction of how unhinged and illogical you are. Stomping on Iran was/is a great thing.
Trump also wants to change election rules based on a similar 1 in a million occurrence.
He also pardoned drug dealers, murderers, cop beaters, and corporate fraudsters. But his followers still claim to be for law and order.
He said he would stay out of foreign wars and then started one that he can't end, so they make excuses for why it was ok.
He said he would end Gaza and Ukraine wars on day one with a phone call. They are both still going and worse than when he took office.
He waid he would lower prices then imposed illegal tarrifs that raised prices, then started a war that raised prices.
He said he would stop fraud. The most comical of all his claims as he has used US policy to secure personal business deals all over the world making billions for himself.
The Dow – up 1200 points today – closed at 37,645 exactly 1 year ago today. As I type this, it's currently at 47,825. Up 27% since then.
Ignoring Trumps liberation day stock market massacre as the cause of that is a very dishonest thing that Sally Vix would pull.
Liberation Day could have been done much better – I'll admit that. But it is fascinating that on April 2, the Dow closed at 42,225 (just before the tariffs were announced) and only bottomed out at 36,611 (and closed at 37,965) on April 7. Its peak low was roughly 13% off where it was before Liberation Day. And on May 13 it closed higher than it did since Liberation Day began. 2025 ended with the Dow at 48,063.
In contrast, the Dow was down 9% (-8.78%) in 2022.

You can't pretend there's more conflict now in Gaza than there was when Biden was president (though, in late September 2023, his incompetent national security advisor said ‘The Middle East Region Is Quieter Today Than It Has Been in Two Decades’). Trump ended that war. Ukraine – which also began under Biden – will soon wrap up as well.
