Now thats funny.
It's like they are flies trying to convince us ๐ that ๐ฉ is better than honey
Happened all over.
Drink up, loosers.
Your protests meant nothing. You can't tell a man from a woman or a king from a president.
He'll be there for 3 more years, wingnuts
I've been holding back on this, but I'm just gonna let loose...
So many of these "protestors" here in Asheville NC have had their lives DRAMATICALLY improved by President Trump.
Trump's FEMA resolved 80% of ALL open Hurricane Helene cases Biden left sitting 116 days... in 5 DAYS.
Trump's DOT gave nearly $2 BILLION to fix roads and bridges in WNC, which is the largest Emergency Relief allocation in federal highway history.
Trump's DOT reopened I-40 in 5 months. Everyone said it would take years.
Trump's HUD approved $1.4 billion for Helene housing recovery so fast that even Democrat Governor Josh Stein publicly thanked him for it.
Trump's USDA delivered $221 million directly to WNC farmers who lost everything.
Trump gave NC 6 full months of 100% federal cost coverage โ one of the longest in FEMA history.
The same people driving on rebuilt roads, drinking clean water, living the comeback... are out here protesting the man who made most of it happen.
JUST GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!!!
It's not that hard.
He knew you hated him before the storm.
He knew that when he landed in Asheville.
And guess what?
HE SHOWED UP AND HELPED YOU ANYWAYS!!!!!!
And today you grabbed your little sign and costumes, got in your little Subaru, you drove on those rebuilt roads, over those rebuilt bridges, passed rebuilt houses and rebuilt parks, to protest a man who helped your city.
You look stupid, out of touch, and insanely ungrateful.
The best quote of the day....
"How could we expect a group of people who don't know the difference between a man and a woman to know the difference between a King and a President."
@nobleisawinner The reason we are fighting in Iran now is because your religion is not to be trusted. It commands tyranny and violence against anyone believing other doctrine. It is evil to its core.
@nytimes Don't need to think about common sense. Like all woke ideas, you back the few on the wrong side of issues while insulting the majority. Illegals, criminals, anything anti-American
@Sassafrass_84 And wouldn't ya know it's always from the same ppl that have never accepted being bested since the Civil War.
When we lose we legislate & vote.
They get violent
@undergroundK1W1@DanDePetris Anyone born after 2000 just needs to be quiet about this.
47 years of listening to islamist swearing to destroy western civil society is enough. Trump had the spine to do what everyone knew must be done.
I agree. Letting Iran to control the strait is almost as bad as letting them have missiles and nukes.
One silly comment about Allah or Muhammad and they shut down the strait?
Never again
Food for thought.
On November 29, 1971, the world barely noticed when Iranian forces seized three specks of land at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz: Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb. For the UAE and many in the Gulf, this was never a technical border quarrel. It was an act of occupation and a permanent scar.
Today, a comfortable consensus has formed in foreign-policy salons and on Wall Street that the Trump administration has no strategic vision for the Strait of Hormuz, and that Iran is โwinningโ the confrontation in the Gulf by default. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is hard to believe how casually many of these critics ignore history, including the way control of financing, insurance, and maritime chokepoints has repeatedly reshaped great-power influence.
Half a century after the shahโs grab, the question surrounding these islands is no longer simply โwho owns them,โ but โwho secures the most critical chokepoint in the global oil trade.โ With President Trump moving to provide American-backed insurance for ships transiting the Gulf, Washington is displacing the remnants of British dominance in maritime insurance and risk.
Whoever insures the traffic does not just collect premiums; they hold a de facto veto over it and gain visibility into every meaningful cargo, what moves, in what volume, from where and to where.
This emerging architecture gives the United States something London once enjoyed: an indirect presence in every Gulf port that depends on uninterrupted access to global insurance and reinsurance.
The logical next step is geographic as well as financial. Returning Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb to the United Arab Emirates would not only correct a historical wrong against Arab inhabitants whose ties to these islands long predate the shahโs gunboat diplomacy. It would also provide the legal and political foundation for a formal U.S.โUAE security arrangement on the islands themselves.
Critics will bristle at the idea of a sustained American military presence on these rocks. But the alternative is not some neutral, demilitarized utopia. The alternative is that the Strait of Hormuz, through which a large share of the worldโs seaborne oil flows, remains vulnerable to coercion, sabotage, and blockade.
A long-term U.S. presence, at Emirati invitation, would anchor a security order built around free navigation, reliable energy flows, and clear red lines against maritime blackmail.
This is not just about three islands. It is about restoring the principle that territory cannot be seized by surprise and held indefinitely by force, and about extending a coherent maritime strategy from Hormuz to the Bab el-Mandeb.
If the United States is serious about securing the arteries of global trade for decades to come, then correcting the injustice of 1971 and placing these islands under Emirati sovereignty, with an American flag flying alongside the UAEโs in a carefully structured basing agreement, is not an overreach.
IMHO, It is the minimum credible foundation for a stable Gulf and the clearest rebuttal yet to those who insist that America has no plan.
@ianrich15813274 Who would listen to a limey like you. I hope one of those Muslim gangs come around and screw your wife. We voted for a strong leader. Unlike you.
