Whatever Trump touches, ends in a Catastrophe. He is a kind of negative Midas.

[-] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

Mierdas. Everything he touches turns to shit.

"Midas Grope"

Everything you touch turns into court settlements from you touching it.

And he's going to die from old age long before he'll ever see any of the consequences of his shitty policies/choices. Lovely society we have here....

Can we even begin to comprehend how pathetic and whiny JD will be as a wartime president?

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Did Iran even say thank you?

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

"We shipped billions of dollars of products to them free of charge and they dare not thank us"

Does the Ayatollah wear a suit?

Well by the standards of the GOP, the stock market was up overall even when accounting for inflation from the time the war began and ended on Iraq. So none of it was a catastrophe to them.. it was just another line go up.

Didn't go up as fast because the crash in 2008, but in the end the rich got richer

i think that's the idea. gotta distract from epstein somehow, and i have to admit, millions of dead humans due to another complete bullshit war would definitely grab all the attention

[-] eatCasserole@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Not everything is a distraction from the epstein stuff. The entire US ruling class has wanted to bomb Iran for a long time. It's the only regional threat to israel, and the USA and israel are two heads of the same monster, and it's a monster that loves war.

[-] U7826391786239@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 hours ago

it can be two things at once. but definitely--war = profits for the owner class, at the expense of your kids getting blown up by IEDs. only to be called "suckers and losers" by their commander in chief

TACO Trump likes to back down. I feel this will be no exception.

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

For a million awful reasons the cowardly thing for Trump to do here is to attack Iran.....

[-] Soulphite@reddthat.com 6 points 4 hours ago

Ahem. Trump's catastrophe.

Just a blanket statement for his entire term.

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.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
