Trump's Second Term

[Andy_Ross]

Time to first lie

Mullin: The president didn't want to go to war. He tried to talk sense into the ayatollah. They had this fantasy of having a nuclear weapon—ever since 1979, the ayatollah has talked about that.

I have just been informed that we have destroyed and sunk 9 Iranian Naval Ships, some of them relatively large and important. We are going after the rest — They will soon be floating at the bottom of the sea, also! In a different attack, we largely destroyed their Naval Headquarters. Other than that, their Navy is doing very well! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

No tankers moving through the straits though so Iran still has the upper hand at sea.

FACT CHECK: Diplomacy was sabotaged at the finish line. Oman's Foreign Minister revealed on Face the Nation that Iran had agreed to zero enriched uranium stockpiling, full IAEA verification and never building a bomb.

This breakthrough came hours before the U.S.-Israeli strikes. They blew up the deal instead of finishing it.

l said I was not going to get involved in the predictable back and forth and I'm not.

An odd response to what can be summed up as "Please pay attention and don't make objections that rest on clear falsehoods in the future."

 

[Andy_Ross]

President Trump said earlier that he's "left instructions" if Iran assassinates him

"That would be a terrible thing for them to do, not because of me. If they did that, they would be obliterated. That would be the end. I've left instructions."

"There wouldn't be anything left."

You seem to be wanting a confrontation. Look elsewhere.

Are you so sure it's me who wants said confrontation? You're the one who has acted to create cause for confrontation in each case. I offered a simple, fairly polite correction to what could easily have been a mistake. You are the one who has been responding with hostility.

BREAKING: Iranian drones hit a U.S. base in Erbil, Iraq. A weapons depot is on fire, with secondary explosions still rocking the area.

Has Trump been getting his intel from Anders Björkman?

◊◊◊◊ off. My heart goes out for your loss at the death of Ian Huntley. Oh that's an untrue slander too. But he was a paedophile, so similar to your leader.

I see that many posters here don't want any opinions allowed except left wing opinions.
And I also see the old far left hatred of moderates..meaning the middle class...springing up.

I find it hard to relate current wings to policies. Traditionally right wing was anti-semitic, isolationist, pro-state (in the US sense). Left wing was pro-Israel, internationalist (believing in intervening globally), and federalist. Things almost seem to have switched?

I don't.

So that cancels your notion and everything is even now.

 

[dirtywick]

kind of leap to say moderates are the middle class

anyway, the centrist thing is more of a poke at the clearly right wing conservatives who call themselves centrists that either say it to deflect criticism or to give them some street cred with moderates and the left when they inevitably just agree with whatever trump last said or did. like, normally i hate trump but he might be right about this thing this time guys...

I clearly stated I would not be discussing the matter further and why which is exactly what I predicted, yet you don't want to let it go. So, yes, you seem to want a confrontation. So have the last word and then please stop as you'll get no further response from me on the matter.

insanity does spring some strange bed-fellows.

I don't think dead presidents' 'instructions' are legally valid orders.
