The depressing think is he is only one year in to his four year term. He seems to be trying to bring about a global depression by screwing with international trade, going to war in the middle east with no awareness of the consequences. There is a large Shia population in Iraq and smaller populations elsewhere who are religiously loyal to the Ayatollahs (senior Shia clerics) in Iran. Israel and US intentions to wipe out the Shia clerics will lead to the risk of violent response elsewhere, one can easily see the US having to bomb Iraq, there could be civil unrest across the gulf states. As we have heard from some comments there are aspects of a religious war to this conflict.

Trump's Second Term

Hamas was not under Biden, that is just a Trumpista claim.
The honest answer is that Hamas probably did not expect to be as 'successful' as they were. Remember they knew nothing about the Nova dance festival. About half of civilian deaths were from the Nova festival. Roughly 1/3 of deaths were Israeli security forces, 1/3 non-Nova civilians and 1/3 Nova civilians.
If it wasn't for Nova they could have framed it as much more of a military action.

Trump found to have acted illegally yet again.
It also depends what Hamas views as a success. I honestly don't think they care how many Palestinians died and they may see the damage done to Israel's standing, outside of the USA, as a win.

What's the demented, mentally challenged little toddler even doing here? Is he off on some daydream where he drives that fire truck he loved so much?

I don't know what he's looking at down there, but he doesn't appear to be very happy about it.

I'd say I knew exactly what it was, but he's got his pants on, and I don't think he'd be able to see it from up there anyway.

He was about to do the YMCA dance, which he often does in public when he is standing. Then he remembered where he was.

Never understand such claims.
There is no way a jury would come back so quick, it takes time to get everyone a beverage with the right sugars and milk, and if there are biscuits involved they have to negotiate who gets the only chocolate one! It will take at least 30 minutes, and then at least one juror will need to nip to loo. I'd give it a good 45 minutes.

If a strong DOW means the President gets to do anything, a Market Crash should be an automatic Impeachment, right?

Maybe I should have said "for" rather than "at".

Israel have been attacking Palestine for decades. There's barely been a day since the 80s when Israel hasn't committed a crime against humanity on the people of Palestine.

Wow! I didn't realize Iran had a president? Yeah, I know, I'm clueless sometimes.

Yes, but Israel does it in drips and drops, not all at once like Hamas did, so it goes under the radar for Western media for whom one Israeli is worth ten Palestinians.
This is the big issue for the US or rather Trump, what if Tehran simply refuses to surrender and lobs the occasional missile or drone at one of its neighbours, or a tanker in the Straits of Hormuz? How long before the cost of the war becomes unacceptable to even the MAGA base?
