    Was it ever even a war to begin with? Why were we even there? No one knows. It was always trumps war because it was trumps personal interest that Americas military be there. It was never America’s war to begin with-- its Israels.

    Does anyone remember the telephone call transcription of when he talked with the Mexican president about the border wall in his first term?

    This is the probably same.

    If we can take any consolation from this, it’s how funny it is that they saddled JD Vance with the task of polishing this turd.

    He’s just expensively self-soothing to deflect his own attention (such as it is) from his catastrophic failure.

      It only looks like a waste to you, because you’re not on the receiving end of all the Pentagon spending. Nor are you someone who jerks off to a pile of bloody children’s backpacks.

      Funny why you thought of the money first?

      Wow massive downvotes, as if people never even heard of a Freudian slip.
      Clearly money entered the mind before lives!!

        Sometimes there’s no intent behind the word order, don’t make one up to manufacture outrage.

        Sometimes people save the most impactful statement for the end. Word order doesn’t always correspond to precedence.

    I have a hard time sussing whether any of these mainstream papers publish these things to justifiably punish Trump for an unconstitutional and poorly managed war or if they’re just trying to keep America engaged in serving Israel’s expansionist dreams.

      Well, show me a mainstream US press outlet whose editorial policy is opposed to the Gaza genocide, then we could compare. But I can’t seem to find one.

    Liberals: “How does this keep happening?!”

    Also Liberals: “Here’s another trillion dollar bailout. Don’t worry, we’ll get it all back with domestic spending budget cuts.”

        Democrats lined up to support his NDAA and handed him hundreds of billions to prosecute this war, just like they loyally sponsored Bush’s Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and Obama’s wars in Libya and Syria. Democrat politicians love war. They vote for it. They enact it. They campaign in defense of it. They go on the Talking Heads shows to rationalize it.

        And it’s telling that Trump demolished over a trillion dollars in Iranian infrastructure - homes, hospitals, highways, reservoirs, airports, bakeries, fucking daycares. But when the dust finally clears, the only thing you soulless ghouls have to say about it is “Wow, I guess Americans are going to have to spend a tiny fraction of our annual GDP to repair some of it”.

        You think $300B is a lot? While we drop trillions into Elon Musk’s CSAM datacenters? Fucking Christ. We deserve Trump.

          You’re totally right, we definitely should not blame the sex trafficking child rapist who made the decisions. We should definitely honor him above everyone else.

          Also, to save yourself time in the future, you can just write “I’m a magat”, we’ll all know what you mean.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
