Trump said he wanted to “see a tremendous victory” in the November election, “’cause it verifies all the things we did. And again, remember, with the war it’s just artificial, it’s a little bit high.”

“It’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe,” he continued. “They can take out a city, let ’em take out Los Angeles, let ’em take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay.”

The crowd cheered.

      I think he’s trying to drum up enough public support to be able to nuke Iran. That’s the “we’ll finish it soon no matter what” thing.

      He’s a mad king and must be stopped at all costs at this point.

        And as Trump is being forcefully taken to the execution chamber, he’ll shout:

        “Enjoy the nuclear winter assholes! You’re all coming with me!”

          He’s not leaving the White House alive. I believe that in my bones. He’s not going to leave power. Nick Offerman played it well.

    San Diego is one of our most important military areas. It is a major hub for the Navy, coast guard, and Marines. I hope they take note.

    But then who will bail out Nebraska?

    The city of Los Angeles’s GDP is 10 times the GDP of the whole state of Nebraska. Let that sink in.

    I thought the entire idea of fucking up the economy, killing a bunch of people, degrading our military status and spending tens of billions was to prevent Iran from “taking out” a city? Helpfully, the ex-WWE douche Cheung explains he obviously meant the opposite of what he said.

    Love that he’s doing a rally in Grand Island. For anyone not familiar, it’s a rather boring and methed up town of about 50,000 about 3 hours from Omaha.

      The mid-west mouth breathers that cheered for this have no idea about any of that; it’s just ‘California bad’.

      They don’t know that the top two ports in the entire US is LA/LB. you think our distribution systems are fucked now with raising diesel prices? Just wait until there’s nothing to ship. They don’t know how vital Camp Pendleton is as a mainland port for the military in the Pacific. You thought the Lincoln looked bad now? Just wait until the Navy gets hit in the knee caps.

      And to be clear; I’m not worried about an Iran strike. I’m worried about these mouth breathers galvanising and committing domestic terrorism. The GOP has been running dog fighting rings for decades and the voter base are those abused and tormented pit bulls. He’s just pointed them at two vital American cities and said ‘have at em’.

        They’ve been propagandizing against California for decades. Another thing the deluded rubes in Grand Island don’t understand is that California has 10x the number of conservative voters as live in all of Nebraska.

    Impeach this guy. He thinks his own job is a joke, when he is the joke. Shame on Republican Senators and Republican House Representatives for not calling this our now and demanding impeachment. Vote them out!

      Shame on ALL conservatives. Conservative politicians would do something if their conservative constituents wanted them to. Conservatives SUPPORT all of this.

      They like to pretend to not support Trump because of gas prices, but they proactively vote for this shit and then giggle quietly as the vulnerable are tortured and murdered.

      ALL conservatives are pure evil. Every single one of them. We need to finish Sherman’s work.

      Remember: Every accusation has been an admission of guilt…

      I am sure the thought of such a strike has been living lavishly in both his and hegseth’s minds…

      Must be a wonderful opportunity to postpone any elections for the foreseeable future and toss the world into even more extreme wanton destruction like hegseth’s death cult longs for…

    This guy is just a jockey. The horse does all the work and also carries the jockey to where the jockey is told to go by the owners of the race team and the owners of the stadium.

    We place our bets and seat on the bleachers. We get excited as the horse approaches the finish line. But we have absolutely no say regarding who rides the horse.

    He’s laying the groundwork and sowing the seed of the idea that ‘somebody’ might nuke the US, but it will be him, not Iran.

      There kinda-sorta is. But Trump’s allies in Silicon Valley have done a rigorous job of rooting them out. DOGE was as much about purging the security services and middle-management bureaucrats of disloyal members as it was about shifting money over to Trump’s personal interests.

      And the rapid consolidation of national media under a handful of Trump loyalists - Larry Ellison chief among them - has served to squelch one of the historically useful tools of career bureaucrats feuding with a sitting President. No more Washington Post or CBS to leak info to. They’re all owned and operated by Trumpies.

    Maybe if they could just “take out” the conservatives in LA and SD? I think that would be a win/win for everyone.

    He said this because he has been informed that Islamic Republic will or has had a nuke smuggled into the USA. He’s too dumb to keep a secret, and just blurted it out like the senile buffoon he is.

    (I have no evidence other than that I know this would be my top priority if I had the same motivations and means as Iran. I won’t nuke Israel because I want to own it)

    This has been a world war for years, they just don’t call it that. Iraq, 9-11, Iran, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Ethiopia, it’s all the same war, it’s Islamic Republic vs. the rest of the Earth (including other Islam).
