    ND then Trump has the sheer audacity to sign a executive order creating a "anti corruption task force" while him and his buddies are making billions manipulating stock market from headlines Trump pumps out. It's like the serial killers are creating a task force fighting crime.

    I've never seen anything like this in my lifetime. It's just ****ing unbelievable

    Thanks but not interested in this discussion. There’s no way you can convince me - or any Iranians who want a revolution - that the mullahs are not just interested in stealing land and money. I’m sorry you fell for the garb and public statements but there is decades of evidence of them breaking any and all Islamic rules.

    Further, Kim Jong Un is essentially the god of a religion created by his family.

    We’re just too far apart to have any sort of competitive debate.

    Trump Throws Pete Hegseth Under the Bus as Iran War Spirals

    President Trump is already trying to throw Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth under the bus for the fruitless war on Iran.

    “I called Pete, I called General Caine, I called a lot of our great people … and I said, ‘Let’s talk. We got a problem in the Middle East. We have a country … that for 47 years has been a purveyor of terror. And they’re very close to having a nuclear weapon. We can keep going and get that 50,000 up to 55 and 60, there’s no end. Or we could take a stop and make a little journey into the Middle East, and eliminate a big problem,’” Trump said Monday at an event in Memphis.

    “Pete, I think you were the first one to speak up,” Trump continued. “And you said, ‘Let’s do it.’ Because you can’t let them have a nuclear weapon.”

    “Hegseth about to give his next briefing from under the bus,” liberal podcaster Jon Favreau wrote on X.

    This quick comment is magnified by the chaos of Monday morning, which saw Trump announcing a five-day pause on bombing Iranian energy sites while claiming that he was close to a deal with the Iranian government. The Iranian government then denied speaking to him in any capacity at all, sparking rumors that Trump was engaging in market manipulation. And if the war is going as badly as it appears to be, Hegseth may be in trouble.





    Trump said he would forgo Dow 55,000, 60,000 if it meant solving the Middle East Big Problem.

    Trump's survival instinct on full display here. The Iran Excursion may not have an off ramp. Someone will have to be the Fall Guy. Whiskey Pete, come on down.

    Not sure we’re saying anything different. It’s a total myth that it has to take 4 hours. It’s just that they wasted a ton of money on other things and with what’s left you can’t afford top notch tech and staff.

    reminiscent of Trump 1.0's convenient / baseless claim that Mexico would pay for the border wall

    IMO his threat wasn't working so he went to the maga playbook.........just LIE, the Iranian admin would rather sacrifice everything and everyone then to bow down to this POS. We do great at the big bad bombing, but these folks want to bring the fight to them in the streets and the mountains and were not so great at that

    We had no business going to war for Israel and no one will convince me otherwise, now Bibi has displaced over 1 million people in Lebanon......Israel has their own objective and there using us as cover

    The de facto Prez S Miller is proud of his boy Bibi

    Trump LOVES to go on and on about loyalty TO HIM. That was his big push for this administration.

    That is totally a one-way street. Trump never has and never will be loyal to anybody but Trump. Maybe he'll throw out a scrap or two if it costs him nothing. But I genuinely doubt the thought of taking a personal hit for someone else out of loyalty would even cross his mind.

    All the sucker sycophants will be sold down the river to the highest bidder as soon as it becomes expedient. Some slight intangable percieved advantage to screwing his trusted confidants like Hegseth? Too bad. Take one for the team!

    The yokels still line up to swear undying fealty anyway.

    What a morally bankrupt narcissist and what a bunch of rubes that put their faith in him.

    When a president's vengeance becomes foreign policy, the whole nation pays the price.

    https://www.reuters.com/world/middl...ahu-argued-joint-killing-khamenei-2026-03-23/

    Netanyahu, ‌determined to move forward with an operation he had urged for decades, argued that there might never be a better chance to kill Khamenei and to avenge previous Iranian efforts to assassinate Trump, these people said. Those included a murder-for-hire plot allegedly orchestrated by Iran in 2024, when Trump was a candidate.

    Trump could make history by helping eliminate an Iranian leadership long ⁠reviled by the West and by many Iranians, Netanyahu argued. Iranians might even take to the streets, he said, overthrowing a theocratic system that had governed the country since 1979 and been a leading source of global terrorism and instability ever since.

    Reuters reporting, with officials and others close to both leaders speaking mostly on condition of anonymity given the sensitivity of internal deliberations, does not suggest that Netanyahu forced Trump to go to war. But the reporting shows that the Israeli leader was an effective advocate and that his framing of the decision – including the opportunity to kill an Iranian leader who allegedly had overseen efforts to kill Trump – was persuasive to the president.

    Add to that a younger more hard liner leader. That would likely have taken over regardless eventually. Great job orange blob man.

    Trump, insiders and his family after he is out of office should be pursued ruthlessly after he is out of office for this,

    How to play the market a few hours before Trump's latest , now 5 day deadline. As usual he thinks he is negotiating a real estate contract. I guess Jared or somebody helps him keep track of the days,

    The list of corruption is so long now by the time they got their **** together and get all the spineless bootlicker loyalists voted out and replaced to be able to do that he will be dead. But, that still leaves the rest of his spawn and crooked others in his administration to be held accountable.
