The condemnation is universal. Republicans, Democrats, independents, world leaders... With the lasting ramifications being likely worse than Vietnam, everyone is accurately stating that this is the biggest geopolitical fuck-up in US history.
Not only did Trump LOSE his war of choice against Iran, but he has made billionaires of Iranian regime officials. What Iran now knows that they did not know before is that they can shut down the Strait of Hormuz whenever they feel like it — and there's not a fucking thing Trump can do about it.
Everything Trump did was ass-backwards. From being conned by Netanyahu, to not even bothering to consult with America's allies, this was a catastrophe and exercise in dumbfuckery from the very beginning.
Billions of tax dollars wasted, over a dozen American soldiers dead, hundreds of soldiers maimed and mutilated — and for what? So a pedophile president could change the divert attention away from the Epstein files? Un-fucking-believable!
Trump's incompetence is no longer debatable, nor is his place in history. The sick fuck is America's worst president.
Elias: Why does California have signature matching? They have it to satisfy the same right-wing zealots who claim there’s fraud, right?
So they do this whole kabuki theater that takes all of this time in order to contend with the fact that people say that if you don’t do signature matching, there’s going to be fraud. And then they get attacked for taking the time to do that very thing.
The fact that the New York Times thinks there’s a middle ground here… Here’s my message: I don’t compromise with Republicans because there is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist, and they are trying to burn down democracy.
Voter fraud is so rare that a person is more likely to get struck by lightning than to cast a fraudulent ballot.
So why does Trump keep bringing it up?
To use it as a pretext to sabotage the midterms.
🚨JB PRITZKER EMBARRASSES TRUMP:
This is huge! JB Pritzker just BALANCED the Illinois budget with a $0 deficit.
$0!!!!!
The media won't tell you about Democratic accomplishments, so SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE:
While Trump is cutting SNAP, Pritzker is helping families put food on the table.
While Trump's Iran war is driving up energy costs, Illinois is pausing the gas tax increase.
While Trump is building a ballroom, Illinois is funding schools, building housing, wiping out medical debt, and helping working families.
That's what Democratic governing looks like.
Pritzker is lowering costs.
Trump is RAISING them.
Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."
