Clearly Biden's fault !
He certainly does, as long as he makes it clear that it's an opinion. Trump almost never does that, and certainly not in this case. He stated it as a fact
That's not the President stating an opinoin.- it's the President either being misinformed, uninformed, or lying. You choose which.

Rep. Derrick Van Orden: "Trump derangement syndrome is real. Donald Trump is ending a war that Iranian declared on us 47 years ago. President Trump doesn't think in the short term, 'What's the next election look like?' President Trump thinks about the next generation."

I wonder how many other countries haven't yet realised they started a war with the US decades or perhaps centuries ago and soon Trump is going to try to end them.

Funny that millions of tourists from America and other western nations have been going to Iran itself safely and happily in the last 47 years. Didn't seem much of a war going on...
Austrian. You are correct.
Convince me that you'd care about these similarities and I might waste my time listing them.

Not to mention the fact that we don't know what the end-game is, and it is possible that after all the bombs have been dropped, Iran will be just as hostile to U.S. interests as it was before.

Hegseth decided to blow the unspent billions of Pentagon funding on luxury items instead of returning them to the taxpayer:

Our super warriors spent $130000 on donuts and $140000 on ice cream machines - just in September 2025.
Pentagon Should Focus on Defense Priorities, not Lavish Dinners, After Historic $93.4B “Use-It-or-Lose-It” September
Defense officials typically enter the end of each fiscal year with at least one goal in mind: spend the rest of the military’s budget by any means necessary.

This has reminded me of an old thread where conservatives on this forum, as well as in the Tea Party were utterly wringing their hands over the 'waste' of DHS buying a handful of Ice crushing machines.Hegseth decided to blow the unspent billions of Pentagon funding on luxury items instead of returning them to the taxpayer:

He cut taxes? Only if you don't count tarriffs at taxes, which they are. Also, he's reduced the size of government, but greatly increased the government's role in people lives. He's also taken measures for the government to influence companies by coercing them to give the government stocks/stakes in those companies. Cutting regulations has as much to do with fascism as owning cats. You haven't made any case that shows the Trump Regime isn't fascist. Your logical fallacies won't trick anyone in this forum.

According to media reports, Donald Trump has been buying $145 Florsheim dress shoes for allies in his inner circle, and people are reportedly “afraid not to wear them.”
Marco Rubio was photographed wearing a pair Trump ordered for him by just guessing his size. They looked noticeably too big.

Israel and the Russians have amongst, if not the best intelligence services. Trump's life and career is full of controversy and cover up. Put 2 and 2 together and you get an explanation as to why Trump keeps on acting in Israel and Russia's best interests.
These two videos of a DOGE representative giving evidence in a lawsuit from the American History Association are painful to watch.
His understanding is that DEI is exactly what was stated in the Executive Order, which he simultaneously knows and can't recall.
He flipped from the misogynistic excuse, then realised that wasn't working so pivoted to antisemitic excuse.
A documentary about Jewish women's forced labour in the Holocaust was DEI because it focused on one gender... Then he corrected himself and it was because it focused on Jews. I wonder why.
Then went on to the racist excuse. If a documentary explores Black civil rights it's DEI, because it's not to the benefit of humankind.
