    Ah, but see, this is a christofascist holy crusade, not a globalist war.

        The irony of this particular war is that it IS one perpetuated by a Jewish ethnostate (Isreal).

        This time-line suuuuucks!

        Yes but the “wrong kind of Jew”

        No one benefits more from globalism than America

          I doubt anybody will get the wrong idea. Economists talk about globalization but don’t condemn it as a bad thing that bad people promote. “Globalist” sounds like “evolutionist”.

      Exactly, this “war” does not have any borders. This “enemy” cannot be contained. They are living all over the globe. Bombing Iran is just making them mad at US.

      There is no way to win this war that Trump has started WITHOUT permission from MY government representatives. We need to hold him accountable for THIS.

        The problem is the American people decided to give the Greedy Old Pedophiles a majority in every branch of government so you have to live with an idiot trying to wing a war and lying about everything to the American people

        The winners out of this will be Iran, Russia and China

        If you wanted Trump held responsible, you needed to stop him from becoming president. It’s way too late now. Anyways, the supreme court that he stuffed declared him exempt from prosecution for official acts as president. Good luck with the responsibility hope you had. Accountability died forever on election day. He’ll die free of consequences.

    I love that post going around (and I’m paraphrasing this): They told me a vote for Kamala was a vote for unnecessary war. Well, they were right. I voted for Kamala and now we’re at war.

    Mainly it’s just so aggravating that streets in my area were lined with “Trump low prices, Kamala high prices” and “Trump no wars, Kamala new wars” signs, and predictably, here we are. Lies, lies, lies. Just like the first term, but an order of magnitude worse because there were no repercussions for any of it. In fact, the more he lies, the more popular he becomes.

      Trump has an unprecedented disapproval rating.

      He’s single-handedly killing the GOP. Republicans are resigning also at unprecedented rates.

        I would be more optimistic about that, but after Afghanistan, Iraq, Hurricane Katrina, and many other incidents, the EXACT same thing was being said about Bush killing the party… And yet here we are.

      Imagine if we put the same efforts to helping Ukraine as we are bombing Iranian schools? Can’t have that though. We seem to be allergic to actually having a just war.

        The US is never going to join a military effort out of a sense of justice. It’s not an accident that they kind of string Ukraine along. They want Russia entangled there for as long as possible.

    Anybody that claimed that Trump would be a peace president was very clearly lying, and I don’t believe anyone who claims to have believed that he would have been. He didn’t fool anyone, he just gave them a flippant and obviously false reason to not vote for Harris.

      You underestimate people’s willingness… (desperation?) To be lied to. They wanted to believe it because he said everything they already believed and wanted to hear.

      That is actually factually untrue.

      War and his reticence to be involved in them was one of the best things about his presidency (of which there were few, of course), and he actually disentangled us from Afghanistan and Syria. (Though it fell to Joe Biden to do the actual withdrawal, it was Donald who negotiated the redeployments.) Democrats, on the other hand, opposed both of these redeployments.

      There was every reason to believe he would keep us out of foreign wars, because of his actual record as president, until he needed a big distraction from being publicly tagged as a pedophile.

          He didn’t lie about war, not before a month ago.

          His record was disentangling us from foreign wars. This meme ignores a ton of historical context.

          Now I just wish we could get Democrats to give a crap about war at any point when it isn’t a matter of political convenience.

        How can you not see that it was a line? Trump doesn’t have principles, he never has had any and never has had any. What he has is the ability to sell people his promises to give them what they want. But trumps promises and assertions are no more meaningful than the sound of the wind and his “best things” are all as hollow as the call of the srens luring the sailors to their deaths.
