Sadly it seems to be a one by one sort of a deal. MAGA MAGA MAGA then your kid dies on some Navy Base in Bahrain for nothing and suddenly you're ex-MAGA, but your neighbor is unconvinced.

Team Trump Opposed War With Iran. Then They Started One
Donald Trump, JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, Stephen Miller, and so many in MAGA claimed they would stop regime-change wars, not start them. We have the receipts.

Or, things change. The world is fluid and ever changing. Things can’t always stay the same. If we feel now that Iran was a threat and this now needs to happen, then it will. I’m not saying I agree with it or believe we should have, but it happened. Biden and Obama have done the exact same thing and no one on the left was up in arms then. It’s all political.
Why is it you and your beliefs can change, but someone else’s can’t?!

You're right about something. It's not a regime change.
Trump will do a midnight operation on Venezuela to kidnap their leader, and a bombing run to kill the leader of Iran, and neither regime will change.
And even if by some miracle, the entirety of the cleric circle and the Iranian Republican Guard craters, it won't save humanity.
The people doing their little party in Civic Center here yesterday had the Lion flags, the Iranian flag pre-revolution. You see, they (really their parents) escaped from Iran after the revolution, and came to America. Who does that, and who *can* do that?
The rich people who were part of the Shah's circle. Of course they think the Ayatollahs are a bunch of criminals - they were fat and happy and then there was a revolution and they lost a lot of their assets inside Iran. Luckily they all had massive assets offshore.
I have a friend who was smuggled out of Iran just after the revolution. It's a pretty hairy story - his parents paid the Kurds up in the North to smuggle him to Turkey, then they used a network and some bribery to get him to Cyprus, where relatives who lived in London extracted him, then he made it to the Chicago suburbs to other family. Ended up at UIUC and had a nice career in semiconductors. While the story is hairy, it only can happen if their family has extensive assets outside Iran.
All the revolution really did was change which assholes were scoobying up all the country's wealth, by exploiting how rough it was for the people who weren't taking part in the largesse. The Shah was just as corrupt. We backed him because he was cooperative to the US. But he was just as brutal as the Ayatollahs.
It would be impressive if this results in a change in the power structure, but I doubt it, and even if it does, we just get different assholes. There was nothing magic about Khameni, just like there was nothing magic about Khaddafi, or Assad, or Stalin, or Mao.

Anyone who thinks they know how this will turn out is likely to find themselves surprised. After the Shah fell, many progressive Iranian students expected democracy but were killed under Khomeini's rule. Egypt also saw hopes for democracy after Mubarak but now faces another authoritarian leader. A similar pattern occurred in Russia. If you’re confident you know how this ends, you don’t.

They don't care how it turns out, that's why there was no plan for what to do after the attacks. All they know is Israel, other Middle East adversaries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar), and the Neocons will be happy that Iran will.have been completely neutered and in chaos.

1) The boat drifted into Iranian waters; if an Iranian boat was captured in American waters it would be treated the same, or maybe even just blown up under Trump.
2) You realize the money was rightfully owed to them, right? It wasn’t a “payment,” or “bribe.”

If Trump keeps “kicking the crap out of them” with the majority of the regime already dead - good luck getting the Iranian people to “greet us as liberators”
Netanyahu just hates Muslims. More dead = more good

Newsflash, dipshit. They're not going to stop. And we're not going to blow them off the face of the earth. That's not how it works.
And I'm not defending Iran. They weren't an imminent threat. Israel duped your orange leader into jumping in with them lol.
I'll put it another way. Putin, of all people, saw what we were up to and was like, damn. That's pretty fucked up. Putin. The dude who invaded Ukraine and failed miserably. Putin, the russian gangster. Immoral as fuck, by many metrics. This dude came out and said, fuck, what Trump is doing here is immoral.
So, to recap. Orange dipshit thought he was going to move in and drop some bombs, and Iran was going to be like, oh shit, we better do what they want. Except that isn't how it works. So, we're in the shit now. Glad I don't have a kid in high school.

As you note in your 2nd paragraph, this state was a economic sponsor of 19 guys who flew planes that they were currently occupying into the World Trade Center, blowing their persons off the face of the earth. As such, why do you think that whomever is sitting in the bunker controlling the shooting of missiles worried about what happens after he pushes the button, when 42 virgins await him?
-
American service members have died in the last 24 hours and Trump is bragging about how beautiful the new ballroom is going to be. I’d say he’s out of touch, but they would be short-selling it, he’s a sociopath.
-
Trump added in a phone interview, "We have three, but we expect casualties, but in the end it's going to be a great deal for the world."
“A great deal.” Everything is a transaction to this sicko.
-
A real catch-22 here.
Trump caused this, and it will most likely be a huge net negative for the US, and will end Trump's cult and thus his Presidency.
While I would love for Trump to be gone, it's not worth it. So I hope we beat the odds here.

Be it death, impeachment, or prison, I still think 3 more years of Trump is a big ask. His popularity is waning across all spectrums. 75-80% of the country was against attacking Iran. If it goes badly, he will have to wear it. Unless the country falls for an “terrorist attack.”

I did as you asked and listened to it.
I agree with just about all of it, even if it’s something we haven’t expected or asked from any president I can remember in my lifetime. We never get full transparency into military operations and when they do tell us something, it’s usually BS and lies and subterfuge.
So yeah, it’s essentially wishcasting for something that’s never going to happen. And there is no independent confirmation that there were 150 girls killed in that school, just Iranian state propaganda.
I just saw this and it’s interesting because it was published by a pretty intelligent dude right before the attacks began, and it actually addresses a lot of the things this fellow you posted was asking for:

If you bomb the Iranians, you have to plan that they will make said propaganda, and said psyops will reduce your plan of Iranians happily throwing over the government to rubble.

We may not get “full transparency,” but we do normally get a reason and an objective. I understand this isn’t quite on the same level as Iraq as far as a buildup, but this is way more than a simple strike or two, and this is against a country much more formidable and much larger than Iraq was. Glad you watched the video and saw some value in it. I’ll try to watch your video today, I should have some time this afternoon.
-
The objective is to find someone to "cut a deal with"... See Venezuela. You think the dopes in Iran would have looked at Venezuela and seen what to do to remain alive and in power.
-
You’d think the dopes in Washington DC wouldn’t have bombed their top candidates.

Formidable and larger sure, but more importantly, they control the Strait of Hormuz. That's 20% of the world's oil supply.
My kid is on a WW2 segment in US History, so I was watching Patton last night. Great film. George C Scott was a master. Patton would be completely useless in modern warfare. Unfortunately, instead of listening to our current Generals, we have a couple wannabe Pattons running the show.
To wit, the Iranians are also crazier and more organized than the Iraqis. They are going after soft targets that cause real issues, and they haven't even really gone after the big but very easy fish. Embassies are nothing. Attacking Dubai Airport is good creativity, but there are some other soft targets that really disrupt the US Economy, and not even that complicated - for example the tech sector in Haifa.

My kid is on a WW2 segment in US History, so I was watching Patton last night. Great film. George C Scott was a master. Patton would be completely useless in modern warfare. Unfortunately, instead of listening to our current Generals, we have a couple wannabe Pattons running the show.
To wit, the Iranians are also crazier and more organized than the Iraqis. They are going after soft targets that cause real issues, and they haven't even really gone after the big but very easy fish. Embassies are nothing. Attacking Dubai Airport is good creativity, but there are some other soft targets that really disrupt the US Economy, and not even that complicated - for example the tech sector in Haifa.
Yes, attacking Arab countries is great PR for them.

US commanders tell troops Trump 'anointed by Jesus' to start Iran war sparking hundreds of complaints
A nonprofit U.S. military watchdog said it has received hundreds of complaints about commanders providing religious reasons for starting the Iran war

The objective is to find someone to "cut a deal with"... See Venezuela. You think the dopes in Iran would have looked at Venezuela and seen what to do to remain alive and in power.
I don’t think Iran’s current leadership, probably a mix of clerics and Iranian Revolutionary Guard members, is looking at Venezuela. However, it is probable that they recall the events of seventy years ago, when the United States and Britain orchestrated a coup to topple Iran’s prime minister (aka "Operation Ajax").
In the span of a few days Trump has gone from saying this will be a quick war, less than 4 weeks, to now saying it can go on forever. He went from claiming Iran wants to negotiate to saying it’s too late for negotiations.
Iran appears unwilling to negotiate, and we don't have enough munitions to fight forever. Looks like their strategy is to disrupt oil and gas infrastructure in the region, close the Strait of Hormuz and drive up global energy prices and inflation.

Of course they didn't look at Venezuela. They weren't negotiating at all, allegedly. Now Trump is going to try and get the Kurds to serve as our proxy army in Iran. Turkey has to be loving this. And Venezuela is upping its oil output.
Meanwhile, they fell for the bait and their Hezbollah buddies have to start wondering if their cell phones are booby trapped again.

Iran agreed to virtually everything the U.S. (and Israel) wanted. Except for regime change. There was never going to be a peace deal because our side didn’t want peace. They want the complete dismantling of Iran as a regional power. Period. Full stop. Anyone thinking otherwise is kidding themselves.

FAFO.
AI Overview
FAFO is an acronym for "Fuck Around and Find Out," a slang phrase warning that careless, reckless, or antagonistic actions (f---ing around) will lead to negative, often severe, consequences (finding out). While popular in online memes and, more recently, among far-right groups, it is believed to have originated in African American slang and has been used in motorcycle gang culture.
Key Details About FAFO:
*Meaning: It acts as a stern warning or an "I told you so," similar to "if you play with fire, you're going to get burned". It is also used to express schadenfreude—delight in someone else's misfortune.
*Origin & Popularity: While its precise origin is uncertain, it is thought to have come from African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and was later used by motorcycle gangs.
*Key Users & Associations:
-Political/Public Figures: Used by Donald Trump (including an AI-generated image), Elon Musk, Senator Ted Cruz, Rep. Dan Crenshaw, and Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
-Groups: Adopted as a slogan by the Proud Boys.
-Usage: It saw a surge in popularity in 2021-2022 and has continued to be used in political, military (e.g., Pete Hegseth), and social media contexts

The War Powers Resolution requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30-day withdrawal period, without congressional authorization for use of military force (AUMF) or a declaration of war by the United States.

"President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.”
As of March 2026, over 200 U.S. service members have filed complaints with the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) alleging that military commanders used this specific language to describe the war in Iran. The reports, first detailed by independent journalist Jonathan Larsen, state that some commanders told their units that strikes on Iran are part of "God's divine plan" and that President Trump was "anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon".
Key details regarding these allegations include:
"Scope of Complaints: The MRFF reports receiving complaints from more than 40 different units across at least 30 military installations, spanning all branches including the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Space Force.
*Nature of the Rhetoric: Commanders allegedly cited the New Testament's Book of Revelation to frame the conflict as a biblically sanctioned step toward the end times and the return of Jesus Christ.
*Impact on Troops: Service members of various faiths, including Christians, Muslims, and Jews, have expressed that such rhetoric undermines morale, violates the separation of church and state, and conflicts with their constitutional oaths.
*Official Response: The Pentagon has not publicly issued guidance framing the Iran campaign in religious terms and did not immediately respond to requests for comment on these specific allegations.
*Context: The complaints emerge amid reports of expanded evangelical programming within the Pentagon under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, including prayer sessions and Bible studies.

Wait a second. Just this AM the Trump admin was upset Israel went too far in blowing up Iranian refineries. Now the Israelis are looking for an off ramp?
And isn't Lebanon asking Trump to mediate a ceasefire there?
You sure about whatever that guy is reporting on The Twotter? Seems to be inconsistencies flying around.
-
Trump and Bibi both realizing they are tanking markets, and that this war isn’t as popular as they thought it would be is perfectly plausible. Significant damage has been and will be done before they leave.
I really don't think they give a shit. Trump Family probably gaming the market as we speak. Trump kids invested in a drone mfg.
By we know that if anything, you will continue hoping for the worst for the USA!
-
Market tanked.
Trump says "war is effectively over"
Market goes up.
Market closes.
Trump says "War is definitely not over"
The insider trading grift never ends.
Exactly. Tempo doesn't understand the game here.

You just claimed he was talking ending it but the Iranians rebuffed him.
Because they don’t trust him. And why should they?

Then why bring up that he was talking about ending it when you claim he isn't running it?

Seen a couple sources report Israel doesn’t want it to drag out either. Trump runs it as much as he wishes to. Probably depends on his mood, which I’m sure changes very regularly. Probably as often as his diaper.
-
Trump could say no, but why would he, he benefits in so many ways.

Yeah I would definitely trust some Irish economist dude on Twitter citing an anonymous source about Israel’s war plans. FFS this guy is throwing shit against the wall and seeing what sticks. It’s pure engagement farming.
Iran’s domestic defenses have been decimated and their ability to respond greatly diminished. Shocker, this isn’t really being reported on in Tempo’s algorithm.
The entire NYT email this morning was negative reporting about the conflict or whatever the fuck you want to call it. 100% negative with a ton of suppositions and fear porn with absolutely no mention of strategic victories against Iran’s defenses, what it might mean for the Middle East or the West writ large, etc. Not a word.
At this point they clearly only see this as fuel for the midterm fire, at the expense of basically shilling for Iran. Wild times.
This dude’s Twotter is an AI TDS fever dream that Robb would be proud of.

I can’t speak for certain what anyone’s war plans are or aren’t, all I am doing is sharing what’s being reported. I have heard it reported that Israel and the U.S. would like to wrap this up sooner, rather than later. And why wouldn’t they? It makes sense. It costs a lot of money to be there, and it’s disrupting markets; which we know matters to rich people.
-
Funny that Custard talks about how much ass we’re kicking isn’t reported in my “algorithm.” I’ll bet his algorithm is the Pete Kegsbreath algorithm. “We’re kicking ass, and we’re staying’!”
I’m well aware that we’ve done significant damage to Iran, what a fuckstick.

The video is indeed fake, disinformation researchers say. And the account is part of a pro-Iran propaganda network that has found viral success by tapping into the conspiracy theory that Trump attacked Iran to distract the public from the Epstein files.

The Twotter dude is apparently including comments from David Ignatius.

Let me guess, other media organizations ran the same story from an anonymous source.
I'm guessing also that finding an anonymous source who will disagree with an administration's efforts is really not that difficult.

Which I would expect from someone like him when America is kicking Iran’s ass. Especially when it’s Trump doing it. Those Progressives don’t like that kind of stuff. They want us to lose and America destroyed. They’ve literally took the other side in every possible instance. It’s disturbing, but not surprising. Contrary to what Tempo thinks, even throwing money at their candidates isn’t gonna get those American haters elected…

Fentanyl in the water supply? Take out a random set of transmission towers across the US? I mean, you could do millions of dollars in damage to the US economy just by sending guys out to run out of gas on the highway at rush hour in random places on a daily basis.

What do we win? This isn't "TOTTM". It's not a game. If we go over there and kick their ass, but gas goes up by 50 cents a gallon - we LOSE. Guess what, gas has gone up by 50 cents a gallon. That has huge implications to the US Economy, both short and long term. I don't want that. Apparently you do.

First-world problems. Or the fact we are keeping our adversaries from getting that oil and being more of a pain in our global neck. China has jumped light years ahead from where they were and mostly off the United States giving them everything. If we want that to stop, we have to do something different, and the benefits aren’t gonna happen over night. Murph is being very short sighted on the matter. You’d think as a billionaire he’d understand that and not cry about a $0.50 gas increase. What a pussy…

That’s code for “We shouldn’t try it! But another round of tax cuts for the 1% sounds GREAT!”
Even PAMan, the staunchest “Democrat” on the forum exhibited this type of biased thinking yesterday. We are programmed to think we can’t have nice things, but you know what we can have?! More tax cuts for the richest Americans! And a huge military increases!

On Saturday, an anti-Islam protest near Gracie Mansion, the New York City mayor's official residence, was organized by people associated with Jake Lang, a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter and far-right influencer, according to Tisch.
A group of more than 100 people also gathered at the same location for a counterprotest called "Run the Nazis Out of New York City/Stand Against Hate."
According to Tisch, Balat lit and threw an ignited device toward protesters. Witnesses told police they saw flames and smoke as the device traveled through the air before it struck a barrier and extinguished itself a few feet from police officers.
In a video from the scene, a man appears to yell "Allahu Akbar" — or "God is Most Great" — just as Balat throws the device. The CBS News Confirmed Team verified the videos. It is not clear from the videos who was shouting the words.
Tisch said Balat then ran southbound and got a second device from Kayumi. Balat allegedly lit the device and ran with it before dropping it on the west side of East End Avenue between East 86th and East 87th streets.

Uncertainty and speculation. We’ve been in an overproduction situation domestically for months. Even though we don’t need Middle East oil it takes time to modify supply chains and logistics. The far east relies much more heavily on middle eastern oil and oil from Iran.

And the white guy was a member of the Biden administration who took over much of the 1st openly gay black female's opportunities to not answer questions.
Nonetheless, I believe the dick head referred to is John Kirby, in spite of what Artificial Intelligence says.

The video is from the Obama administration about a Colin Powell personal email that cited open sources. Colin Powell lost his security privileges 10 years prior.
And the white guy was a member of the Biden administration who took over much of the 1st openly gay black female's opportunities to not answer questions.
Nonetheless, I believe the dick head referred to is John Kirby, in spite of what Artificial Intelligence says.

Great Substack article today went over two interesting things about this war.
1) Quinnipiac Polling showing this is the lowest approval after one week of any US intervention since 1940. Interesting is the sub-tabs - prior to intervening in Libya in 2011, approval by the US public was primarily a function of "is this war/intervention winnable". Since then, approval has very closely tracked "Does the party I favor hold the Presidency". 92% of Democrats are against the Iran incursion, 85% of Republicans are in favor.
2) US bombs have primarily focused on military targets - command/control, defensive weapons, etc.. Israel on the other hand has done substantial bombing of oil infrastructure. That's fact. The conclusion drawn - true or not - is that Israel pretty much wants to cripple Iran indefinitely by fucking up their economy, while Trump just wants new leadership that is more willing to let him control the oil, so he doesn't want the oil infrastructure disturbed (see also: The US focus on keeping Hormuz open, which Israel has not participated in).

https://www.natesilver.net/p/will-iran-break-maga
To level-set, the war in Iran is not popular with Americans in general. Support for the strikes and approval of Trump’s approach to Iran are underwater in nearly every poll conducted since the start of the war, and the Iran War is less popular than other foreign conflicts were at their outset.4 To put some numbers to that, we averaged every Iran poll conducted since February 27. The war is opposed by 50 percent of Americans and supported by 40 percent.5
It’s a different story for Republicans, 77 percent of whom support the war, on average.
***
In large part, it’s because the Republican voters you’d expect to be most opposed to the war (at least ideologically) are actually the most supportive. Some pollsters release crosstabs for Republicans who identify with the MAGA movement. How they identify those voters varies — YouGov, for example, asks “Are you a MAGA supporter?” — so comparing these groups across different polls isn’t exactly apples to apples.
But in this case, the results are highly consistent: Republicans who identify with the MAGA movement are much more supportive of the war than Republicans in general. For example, RMG Research found that a group they call “Trump-policy voters” favored the US attack on Iran by a margin of +75, compared to just +35 among “traditional GOP voters.” Similarly, net support for using military force to overthrow the government of Iran is +68 among MAGA Republicans compared to just +11 among non-MAGA, according to YouGov.
That’s the opposite of what you’d expect ideologically, but it partially comes down to ambiguity about how voters self-identify as MAGA. Does MAGA mean voters who are extra Trumpy in a literal sense of tending to support everything that Trump does? Or do voters see the term as a stand-in for populist, anti-establishment conservatism of the sort you might associate with Carlson or Greene?
In practice, it’s probably the former. Across the board, Republican voters who identify with the MAGA movement tend to be more supportive of everything Trump does.

Is there even a Plan B since it is obvious Plan A did not work?
https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/trump-told-tankers-to-show-some-guts-then-they-were-bombed/
President Donald Trump told commercial ships waiting near the Strait of Hormuz to “show some guts.”
The comment came during a Sunday interview with Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade in which the president insisted Iran’s military had been effectively neutralized by recent U.S. strikes. Tehran, he said, no longer had the capacity to threaten maritime traffic through one of the most important oil chokepoints on the planet. There was little to fear. Tankers could move.
That framing collided almost immediately with events on the water.
Doesn't seem like it.
Buying Florsheims for everyone is not a plan.

There must certainly be a word-stacking German term for the uncanny feeling of watching as a patently unqualified, far-right, election-denier white nationalist freak becomes the only administration figure to resign over the increasingly disastrous Iran War with an at least vaguely anti-Semitic gripe. It is an interesting moment. Let’s remember that Kent isn’t just some administration official. He’s a white nationalist extremist who had no business holding any position of trust in the U.S. government. He’s been friends to numerous anti-Semites long before today’s news broke.
Some people are inclined to be sympathetic to the ideas contained in Kent’s claim that “(i)t is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.” If that’s you, think a bit more seriously about just how Israel would be in a position to exert this “pressure” and don’t let your animus toward Trump make you a fellow traveler with someone as odious as Joe Kent.
Benjamin Netanyahu is a lifelong manipulator, schemer and liar. No foreign country can pressure the U.S. into doing something as catastrophically stupid as what we’ve seen over the past three weeks. Did Netanyahu want this? Of course he did. Netanyahu has wanted to convince American leaders to believe they have interests identical to his narrow, usually wrongheaded and always regional goals for 30 years. Only Donald Trump is so stupid, so desperate for the adrenaline fix of another regime change on the cheap that he went for it. It is Trump who insulated himself from all but the advice of two or three ignorant toadies so that he was able to stumble this badly into a situation in which the strategic initiative — notwithstanding all the damage Iran has sustained — is now in the hands of the Iranians.
Think how bad you have to screw things up to get into that position?!?!
Kent’s comments, predictably, revealingly, are not so much to blame Israel as to exonerate Trump. And that’s precisely how anti-Semitism works. It’s not Trump’s fault. He was taken in by “pressure” from the Israelis. The U.S. has its own vast intelligence resources. It has its own region experts. Israel couldn’t pressure or convince Trump that Iran posed some imminent threat to the U.S. Indeed, no one in the Trump White House thought anything like that. The U.S. and Israel went to war not because Iran was strong or about to do anything to the U.S. or really anyone else but because they are currently so weak. Iran was on its back and it seemed like you could go to war with them and they wouldn’t be able to strike back. (Mostly true — except the thing they can do easily, harry the Strait of Hormuz.) Trump thought this would be easy. Donald Trump made this decision on his own, because he thought it would be fun and that it would be easy, as a vast, kinetic kind of self-soothing because of the skids his presidency is on at home.
It’s a very weird time for anyone serious about the scourge of anti-Semitism in this country. One simultaneously has to make the point again and again and again against the claims of bad faith operators that being critical of Israel is not anti-Semitic. At the same time more and more Americans, left and right, are jumping into conversations, ideas and fetid ancient dialogs that are just that: anti-Semitism. Both are true. Let’s call this what it is and remember who Joe Kent is.
Hook, line, and sinker. As usual.
-
It is obviously apparent you never read up on this guy.....
1) If he was so obviously a misfit, why was he hired? Or at least not fired?
2) Everyone critical of Israel is mentally imbalanced, duh.

Why do we strawman shit up and equate being critical of Israel as “anti-semitism.” It’s total bullshit. The Jewish people throughout the world do not = Israel’s right-wing government. Stop Zionising us.

We all know tempo doesn’t read past the rage bait headline. Hook, line and sinker baby. He is also out here leading the war protest of 5 people in downtown Lafayette IN.
That was actually just 5 people celebrating the 2 seed chanting "ILLINI SUCK"

Wonder if PAMan knows why there aren’t many Iran war protests?

1) If he was so obviously a misfit, why was he hired? Or at least not fired?
2) Everyone critical of Israel is mentally imbalanced, duh.
And this confirms you haven't read anything about this guy....

Why do we strawman shit up and equate being critical of Israel as “anti-semitism.” It’s total bullshit. The Jewish people throughout the world do not = Israel’s right-wing government. Stop Zionising us.

Well, that’s a perspective.
I’ll lay it out for you:
When you have overwhelming military superiority in every facet, you use it.
Then when the rest of the world starts bitching about the (temporary) real world consequences of finally cleaning up the only real obstacle to peace in the Middle East, you ask them for help.
They decline, and then you continue the narrative that they were only allies because we propped them up for a few generations.
Those countries continue funding their own defense and stop being a bunch of pussies. Finally.
At the end of all this they STILL need us more than we need them, they aren’t actually going to realign with Russia and/or China/India, Trump proves his point, we reallocate all the money we spent propping up Europe to domestic concerns, our economy booms, oil goes to $65-75, and we enter a new chapter of global prosperity and peace.
Thanks, Trump!

Saudi Prince Is Said to Push Trump to Continue Iran War in Recent Calls
Prince Mohammed bin Salman sees a “historic opportunity” to remake the region, according to people briefed by U.S. officials on the conversations.
Saudi Arabia’s de facto leader, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, has been pushing President Trump to continue the war against Iran, arguing that the U.S.-Israeli military campaign presents a “historic opportunity” to remake the Middle East, according to people briefed by American officials on the conversations.
In a series of conversations over the last week, Prince Mohammed has conveyed to Mr. Trump that he must press toward the destruction of Iran’s hard-line government, the people familiar with the conversations said.
Prince Mohammed, the people familiar with the discussions said, has argued that Iran poses a long-term threat to the Gulf that can only be eliminated by getting rid of the government.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel also views Iran as a long-term threat, but analysts say Israeli officials would probably view a failed Iranian state that is too caught up in internal turmoil to menace Israel as a win, while Saudi Arabia views a failed state in Iran as a grave and direct security threat.

Pretty sure Iran, and not Donald Trump, bombed the energy facilities.
Can’t believe everything you see published during this mess, everyone is angling to be the biggest victim in the court of public opinion right now.
There is no good reason it should take 3-5 years (but more than 3-5 more minutes) to repair something that wouldn’t even take that long to build from scratch.
Where there’s money and motivation it’s amazing how much shit can get done in a hurry. Unless you have blue state regulation, then it’s impossible.

Step 1:
Decimate Iranian military and military infrastructure
Step 2:
Release set of demands to bring peace:
Tehran wants to deal with Vice President JD Vance when it comes to any talks — but White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt warned it’s Trump who will call the shots.
The demands put forward by Washington predominantly related to Iran’s nuclear capabilities, but also called for the vital Strait of Hormuz shipping lane to stay open, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.
The outlet reported 14 of 15 demands conveyed:
1. Iran must dismantle existing nuclear capabilities.
2. Iran must commit never to pursue nuclear weapons.
3. No uranium enrichment on Iranian territory.
4. Iran must hand its stockpile of enriched uranium to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
5. The Natanz, Isfahan and Fordo nuclear facilities must be dismantled.
6. The IAEA must be granted full access to Iran’s nuclear facilities.
7. Iran must abandon its “regional proxy paradigm.”
8. Iran must cease funding, directing and arming its proxies.
9. The Strait of Hormuz must remain open.
10. Iran’s missile program must be limited in both range and quantity.
11. Iran must limit its use of missiles to self-defense.
Iran would benefit from:
1. The end of sanctions imposed by the international community.
2. US assistance to advance its civilian nuclear program.
3. A “snapback” mechanism allowing for the automatic reimposition of sanctions if Iran fails to comply would be removed.
Leaviitt signaled that the US military operations against Iran will continue until Trump’s objectives are met.
Now we know you’re not so secretly rooting for the Palestinians and Iranians just to spite Trump, however thos list of demands on top of their military being decimated would be a huge net positive not just for the region, but for the world as a whole.
They can’t withstand this forever, but they’re not just going to capitulate after showing this much ridiculous bravado. Hopefully the public gets enough balls to demand an actual meaningful regime change in the meantime. Now or never

Sure they can. They don’t give a fuck. You - like Trump - did not read your Sun-Tsu, “know your enemy”
The public? The public in Iran is not a bunch of people from Kentucky. If the public in Iran writ large wanted regime change that badly they would have done so within the last 47 years. Plenty of people hate the regime but the entire country is Shiite Muslim and there are plenty of believers. And if they didn’t all hate America before a lot more sure do now.
You’re a soft fucking American. You wouldn’t last in a war zone 3 days. These are fucking Persians. They don’t give a fuck. Random shitheads in Kentucky care a lot more about an extra buck a gallon for gas than an Iranian cares about your bombs.

Just trying to figure out what Murph thinks he's saying there.

Murph keeps using this “they don’t give a fuck” line like it’s some kind of mic drop moment in the argument against the conflict. As if standing by and allowing people who already hate the West and Israel that don’t give a fuck to continue their nuclear ambitions with piles of oil money from China is a good idea.
China buys 80-90% of Iranian crude and they buy it at a discount because other countries have sanctioned Iran. China gets discounted oil, keeping their costs of production down, while funding this horrible fundamentalist nation.
I suppose shutting down the internet and cell phones, hanging people in the streets, and violently quelling any uprisings by killing thousands of protestors are pretty effective deterrents. Remember how mad everyone was here over Renee Good and Alex “Assault me motherfucker” Pretti? Murph and Tempo were calling for a domestic revolution over these knuckleheads who were killed in rather nuanced confrontations with law enforcement. Not a word about the folks being openly slaughtered by the Iranian leadership. Interesting, isn’t it?
I’ve come to notice that the left seems to always side with what’s good for China and bad for America these days. It’s not a concidence, it’s programming.

I was? I liked Trump’s record in foreign conflicts but also understand things change and that Biden’s asleep at the switch tenure allowed some of our enemies to strengthen themselves and form new alliances with other geopolitical enemies. And that those things might need to be addressed before the next weak Democrat president who just thinks if we say enough mean things about Putin he’ll behave, and say enough nice things to Iran and China that they’ll respect us more, gets elected.
RIP, Great Venezuelan War, we barely knew ye! Pretty sure we just captures a wanted criminal in that one, hardly an act of war.
We haven’t even invaded Iran in any conventional sense. Far as I can tell we have just bombed the shit out of Iran which isn’t much different than Obama and all his drones.
-

It isn’t that argument even if you *could* blow every single Iranian up.
But you can’t.
Our comfortable lives are on a knives edge. It’s a lot harder to keep the machine running than to blow it up. See 9/11.
-
Just trying to figure out what Murph thinks he's saying there.
What I’m saying is that Trump seems to think his “threats” mean jack shit to the Iranians and this is misguided.
It’s a World War 2 mindset. The Germans were used to being a first world developed nation and when the war started to go to shit they all started thinking about how they get back to that state post Hitler. Same with Japan.
Iran is more like Vietnam or North Korea. There was no way to win in Vietnam or Korea because there was no spell to break. Iran will keep fighting, or monkey wrenching. There is no victory.
See for example Iraq and Afghanistan

That has nothing to do with China buying oil or the nonexistent nukes. It simply says your premise that we can easily win this conflict is bullshit

Meanwhile, after supposedly rejecting any deal, and in the midst of a 48 hour push from Israel to eliminate what’s left of their arms industry, Iran tries to broker a peace meeting via Pakistan as soon as this weekend.

Antony Blinken just went to Harvard and said he wished that the Biden administration had done more to put the stops on Iran's nuclear program but the politics of the 2022 midterms got in the way.
-
AI: Yes, former U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated during a Harvard University forum on March 24, 2026, that the Biden administration's efforts to reach a new nuclear agreement with Iran were complicated by "politics," specifically referencing the 2022 midterm elections.
In conversation with The New York Times journalist David Sanger, Blinken stated: "I wish we had gotten there [to a deal]... We worked very hard on getting that longer and stronger agreement," but added, "I'll acknowledge, too, that sometimes politics gets in the way," acknowledging that midterm election considerations factored into the administration's timing.
Key details from his comments include:
-Political Constraints: When pressed about whether Biden had stalled on the deal until after the 2022 elections, Blinken indicated the administration was searching for the "right time".
-Iran's Role: Blinken added that apart from U.S. politics, Iran at times was not conceding enough to make the deal worthwhile, asserting "we actually kept the pressure on them".
-Regret over Missed Deal: Blinken expressed regret that a "longer and stronger" agreement was not secured, a goal the administration had often stated as its objective for a successor to the 2015 JCPOA.
These comments were part of a broader discussion regarding Iran policy. Blinken also noted during the talk that Iran has the "ability to leverage the Strait of Hormuz in ways that are profoundly disruptive," following recent military strikes by the U.S. and Israel.

The people doing the bombing provide direct and detailed insight on the objectives that I’ve been told they don’t have, but Tempo and Murph would rather get their updates from Iranian state propaganda:
"Iran had a modern military, and never in recorded history has a nation’s military been so quickly and effectively neutralized," he said. "This is not an endless war. It’s a decisive campaign with clear objectives… to destroy Iran’s offensive military capabilities and ensure they never obtain a nuclear weapon."
The remarks come as the administration outlines its strategy following recent strikes on Iranian targets, describing the campaign as focused on defined military objectives rather than prolonged engagement.
Hegseth cited operational figures during his remarks, stating that more than 10,000 enemy targets had been hit, along with over 150 naval vessels and underground facilities.
"This is stuff for the books. This is stuff for legacy, Mr. President, to ensure future generations do not have to live under the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran," he said.
Hegseth also criticized press coverage of the operation, accusing outlets of failing to accurately reflect military efforts on the ground.
"You wouldn’t know it if you listened to the dishonest, anti-Trump media," he said. "Behind every headline you write, there’s a helicopter crew in the air. Behind every news story, there’s a battalion on the move. Behind every so-called ‘fake news’ story, there’s an F-35 pilot executing a dangerous mission."
Drawing on past experience, Hegseth referenced public debates during the Iraq war, arguing that media narratives have historically conflicted with military objectives.
He maintained that current operations differ from past conflicts, describing the campaign as structured and effective rather than open-ended.
"This is not parody. This is not chaos. This is success… pure American success, on plan and ahead of pace," Hegseth said.
Hegseth also claimed Iranian naval capabilities had been significantly degraded, stating that the commander of Iran's naval forces had been killed in a recent operation.
"They no longer have a navy, Mr. President," Hegseth stated. "Their naval commander was killed overnight in operations."
"If President Trump had not acted, you’d be screaming, ‘Why not?’ And now that he has taken decisive action, you’re asking why he did," Hegseth said.
Hegseth also referenced U.S. foreign policy under the Obama administration, criticizing the Iran nuclear deal.
"Many of the military factories and bases that are now being destroyed were paid for by pallets of American cash that Barack Obama flew to Tehran under the Iran deal," Hegseth said.
"Make no mistake… we had to act," he noted. "Our objective is the complete dismantling of their nuclear program."

You listened to the entire interview, or Fox News told you that?
Was the issue mentioned on Fox ?
You can start at about 22 minutes into the interview.
Or you could read the story from the Crimson. They don't mention the mid-term issue, much less the NYT writer 'pressing' Blinken on the issue.

Meanwhile, after supposedly rejecting any deal, and in the midst of a 48 hour push from Israel to eliminate what’s left of their arms industry, Iran tries to broker a peace meeting via Pakistan as soon as this weekend. They also sent a letter to the UN stating they’ll let non-hostile tankers through the strait. IACO
This isn’t Vietnam or Pakistan. We aren’t fucking around this time.
That’s what Trump is telling you but Iran says that’s bullshit.
The difference between Vietnam and Iran is that if we burned 1960’s Vietnam to the ground we’d never know the difference. If we burn Iran to the ground it destroys our own economy. And Iran knows this

The self fulfilling prophecy of TDS;
The Media: “There’s no plan. No strategy, no objectives. You can’t trust Trump or anyone that associates with him.”
The administration: “The media isn’t being fair and reporting what’s actually happening, there’s an entire false narrative being created here.” Proceeds to lay out very detailed, clear plans and objectives, offers timelines and updates on pretty much a daily basis.
TDS sufferers: “There’s no plan. No strategy, no objectives. You can’t trust Trump or anyone who associates with him. Let’s trust Iranian state propaganda instead”

Interesting how conservatives have turned liberal and woke into pejorative terms.
Shortly after his enlightenment, while he was traveling, people noticed the Buddha’s intense radiance and peace, prompting them to ask if he was a god, reincarnation of a god, a wizard, or a man.
To all options, he replied "no," instead explaining that he was "awake".

Western civilization may never win another war if this keeps up
This is maddening. The radical left, mainstream media, and the woke right are running the exact same playbook with the US/Israel campaign against Iran as they did with Israel in Gaza
They create impossible standards in terms of:
-Zero Casualties
-Zero Economic Disruption
-Zero Uncertainty
-Zero Time to Accomplish the Mission
-Zero Collateral Damage
And everything the bad guys do is actually our fault because we made them do it….same script as Gaza…the bad guys have no agency and it’s actually our fault
Day 32 of the Iran war:
-degraded missile factories, nuclear sites, IRGC bases, and proxy networks
-the Supreme Leader is gone…and his replacement is s vegetable
-all the top leadership is gone…in fact, we don’t even know who’s in charge
Yet the all you hear is endless doomerism
And all of this sounds exactly like the demoralization propaganda from Russia, China, and Iran, that has infiltrated our society for years via social media and retarded influencers chasing click
This isn’t responsible skepticism
It’s weakness…
And you’ll never get peace through strength when the opponent knows you lack resolve and they can just wait you out

From that X post
The grand bargain is not a theory. It is a pressure system. The US needs Chinese rare earths to rebuild 2,400 depleted Patriot interceptors.
So we need to invade Iran, causing them to liberate missiles at Israel, requiring the use of patriot interceptors, so we can leverage China to get the rare earths we need to replace the interceptors we used up because we invaded Iran

1000 Bombs Versus 1: Which Is Strategically More Effective?
the US and Israel are launching massive attacks every night and Iran can launch very few. Ipso facto the US and Israel are “winning”.
If only it were so easy. The metrics do not actually tell you what Hegseth and Caine want them to.
What we see is that Iran does not need to match the US and Israel, indeed it cannot hope to do so. All Iran needs to do is convince the world’s shipping bodies, insurance companies, and markets, that it can successfully launch one bomb—and that alone seems enough for them to fight their war for now.
And last night the Iranians launched one such bomb to put the world on notice.
In comparison to massive US and Israeli fires, Iran had one hit last night—though that one hit arguably has the same strategic effect of all the bombs dropped by the US and Israel at the same time. The Iranians sent one of their simple drones and it hit a oil tanker off the coast of Dubai.
The vessel hit was a tanker called Al Salmi, and it was fully laden with 2 million barrels of fuel for export. With oil hovering just at or over $100 a barrel, that load alone was worth approximately $200,000,000—and the ship itself was worth almost as much. Building a new supertanker, classified as a Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) costs about $130,000,000 these days. Buying won already built can cost even more as there is demand—some are being listed at almost $150,000,000.
So the load that the Iranians hit with that one bomb was valued somewhere close to $350,000,000. If oil prices continue to rise, it could be considerably more than this.
If the Iranians launched three successful attacks per night on VLCCs, that would be around $1 billion in ships and cargo damaged. At present, btw, there are somewhere between 200-300 tankers stuck in the Gulf (with many more that would have liked to get in and get there loads). So we are talking about a traffic worth hundreds of billions of dollars a day, trillions over weeks and months. If that traffic cannot be insured and protected, it cannot sail.
So that is the dilemma that the US faces. It does not need to simply bomb Iran. It needs to be able to stop the Iranians from threatening world shipping in the Gulf. So far, for all of its air superiority, it cannot do that. And if that dynamic does not change, Iran has a stranglehold over much of the world economy—no matter how many golden statues of victory Donald Trump builds of himself.

It’s so funny that people on the left keep parroting the talking point that there was no objective or purpose.
There are plenty of sources that have reported why the talks fell apart, why we bombed them, what the objectives were, what we are demanding in exchange for a cease fire, how much of their military has been destroyed, etc.

It can be for multiple very valid reasons. Iran told the US they wouldn’t stop trying to enrich uranium beyond what they would need just to produce nuclear energy; the only reason for that would be to pursue weapons. We even said we’d provide them with fissionable material for their reactors and they told us to shove it.
I guess you guys think we should allow the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, friend of China and Russia, and blood foe of the Israel/the West to build nukes while committing genocide and sponsoring terrorism? We wouldn’t even be in this situation if the previous administration hadn’t been asleep at the switch for 4 years.
We redirected oil flow from Venezuela away from China, crushed Iran’s military and leadership, and are starving China for the cheap oil (that we can’t buy) they use to undercut US manufacturing. We have plenty of oil.
In the end what you guys defend is always in China’s best interest, seems their propaganda infiltration process is working to a very high degree.

A 👁️
Reports from late March 2026 indicate that U.S. President Donald Trump announced that American officials were in negotiations with Iran to end the ongoing conflict, specifically mentioning discussions involving Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
While widely reported in Western media, this narrative is surrounded by significant controversy:
"Contradictory Claims: While President Trump claimed to be in "very good and productive conversations" with a senior Iranian official—identified by sources as Ghalibaf—Tehran has strongly denied these reports.
"Ghalibaf’s Response: Ghalibaf himself dismissed reports of negotiations as "fake news" intended to manipulate financial markets, insisting there is no direct contact with the U.S..
*The Context: Ghalibaf, a hard-line speaker of parliament and former IRGC commander, has emerged as a key power broker in Iran following the death of other senior figures in 2025. He has frequently warned the U.S. against attacks, threatening that American bases and troops would face a "relentless" response.
*Internal Legitimacy: Experts note that any formal negotiation with the U.S. would require approval from the Supreme Leader and the Supreme National Security Council, making any "backchannel" conversation risky for Ghalibaf.
Reports suggest Ghalibaf is viewed by some in the Trump administration as a "reasonable" figure within a hard-line regime capable of holding power, though others see him as a "yes man" lacking independent authority.

Post from Occupy Democrats on FB hitting all of Tempo’s talking points lol
The Iranian Ministry of Truth endorses this message!
BREAKING: Trump and Hegseth hit with DISASTER after F-15 gets shot down in Iran, likely leading to the capture of its crew and the first POWs of the war…and not a WORD about it from the Trump team!
Iranian state media has published images of what appears to be the fins of a F-15 Strike Eagle of the 494th fighter squadron out of Lakenheath in the UK. Even more ominously, there are also images of an ejection seat, meaning the pilots made it out behind and are behind enemy lines.
Footage taken by farmers in the area and published by Iranian state media shows a U.S. Air Force HC-130J “Combat King II” Combat Search and Rescue plane circling and a USAF C-130 refueling two helicopters over southern Iran, indicating that a search-and-rescue mission is underway.
Unconfirmed reports also say that a US helicopter was shot down.
This is a disaster for the Trump administration, and still we’ve heard nothing from the administration about this.
It’s not too surprising, considering that the Trump admin has been caught deliberately slow-walking the release of injured and killed Americans in Trump’s needless, unprovoked war of aggression against Iran. The real number of injured servicemembers and US contrasctors may be as high as 13,600, but we just don’t know because our government is engaged in a cover-up to hide from accountability – just like they are for the Epstein files!
If this shoot-down is real, then it’s safe to assume that the reports of another F-15 being shot down last month are also true. How many lies are we being told?
This is terrible news for the pilots, because Trump and Hegseth have made it clear that the lives of our servicemembers don’t mean anything to them and they’d be happy to exploit their capture to escalate the conflict in hopes of finding a military solution to this quagmire that does not exist.
Fingers crossed for their safe return. The American people deserve better than this!

These aren’t even mutually exclusive concepts. Urging the Iranian people to overthrow their tyrannical government while continuing to decimate the very army infrastructure that they use to suppress their people is exactly what you want.
Sadly people like Tempo and Murph prop up the Iranians and take their propaganda as gospel just to stick it to Trump, so it’s working for Iran.
I saw some serious Iran propaganda this morning on Facebook. The Iranian leadership knows they can’t win and they really would like us to quit bombing them. Problem is they don’t want to appear weak and give up, so the only chance they have is to turn western sentiment so heavily against the war that it pressures a quicker end. I’d rather we finish the job, but you guys are eagerly buying in. I would love to see who is funding these AI ads that are meant to resemble news report posts. I’m sure China is heavily involved.
-
These aren’t even mutually exclusive concepts. Urging the Iranian people to overthrow their tyrannical government while continuing to decimate the very army infrastructure that they use to suppress their people is exactly what you want.
Sadly people like Tempo and Murph prop up the Iranians and take their propaganda as gospel just to stick it to Trump, so it’s working for Iran.

Well they are also bombing civilians. You’ve heard Hegseth. Basically there’s no such thing as a war crime in his book. Why do you think he’s firing top generals?

Oh come on. You know as well as I do the Iranian scum hide their worst people and weapons under and near schools and other civilian structures. The school that was hit early on was a result of erroneous intelligence and hadn’t even been a school that long. Wasn’t like that’s what they set out to do.

Yeah, that’s what we always hear.

Hegseth has said in no uncertain terms anything is a target. Open your fucking ears.

Well, there's an Easter message of peace and love.
A few days ago Trump said reopening the Strait of Hormuz was no big deal. It was up to the Europeans who needed the Strait, not the U.S. who did not need the Strait. And the Strait would open "automatically" after the U.S. exited the war.
This post shows how Iran's control of the Strait has taken control of his mind.
-
It shows how he’s losing what’s left of his mind. If he wasn’t mentally unfit for office his 1st term (he was), he certainly is now.

Randy George was Lloyd Austin's military assistant and promoted by Biden to Chief of Staff, an administrative position and not planning. He was asked to step down.
A few others were asked to step down over, among other reasons, what was viewed as an issue with their DEI positions.
Randy Manner, from Tempo's post, appeared as a Democrat witness in a Senate Judiciary hearing and supported Harris for President before Hegseth was nominated for his position. He retired 14 years ago. When was his last intelligence briefing ?
I'm not sure what the issue is.

At least Custard has an excuse - he’s just doing it for the lolz. You belong in the memory home with DJT.

👁️
Attacking the source of an argument rather than the argument itself is generally a logical fallacy known as ad hominem (against the person) or the genetic fallacy. It occurs when someone ignores the substance of a claim and instead attacks the character, motive, or background of the person making it.
Key Aspects of Source-Attacking Fallacies:
*Ad Hominem (Abusive): A direct attack on a person's character, appearance, or personality to undermine their argument (e.g., "You're too young to understand this").
*Circumstantial Ad Hominem: Attacking a person's circumstances, such as their job, affiliations, or potential conflicts of interest, instead of their argument.
*Genetic Fallacy: Dismissing an argument based solely on its origin or source rather than its content.
*When It Is NOT a Fallacy: Criticizing a source is valid if the source's credibility, honesty, or expertise is directly relevant to the argument's veracity (e.g., questioning a witness's reliability in court).
Why It Is a Fallacy:
Attacking the source is a diversionary tactic used to avoid engaging with evidence. A person with poor character can still make a valid argument, and a reliable person can be wrong.

John D. Gartner has faced significant criticism from within the mental health profession, ethicists, and political observers for his high-profile activism through Duty to Warn, particularly his public characterizations of Donald Trump as suffering from malignant narcissism (a mix of narcissism, antisocial/psychopathic traits, paranoia, and sadism) and, more recently, signs of cognitive decline or dementia based on public appearances, speech patterns, and behavior.

Artificial intelligence mode
John D. Gartner is a psychologist and former part-time assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University Medical School who has frequently commented on Donald Trump’s mental health. As of early 2026, he remains a prominent critic, claiming that President Trump is exhibiting signs of accelerating cognitive decline and malignant narcissism.
Key Assessments & Activism
*Malignant Narcissism: Gartner describes Trump as a "malignant narcissist," a severe personality disorder characterized by narcissism, psychopathy, paranoia, and sadism.
*Dementia Claims: Since 2024, Gartner has argued that Trump shows "gross signs of dementia" rather than normal aging. He cites specific speech patterns, such as phonemic paraphasia (starting a word but finishing it with nonsense sounds), as clinical evidence.
*"Duty to Warn": Gartner founded the organization Duty to Warn, which argues that mental health professionals have an ethical obligation to alert the public when a leader's mental state poses a danger to the nation.
*"Shrinking Trump" Podcast: Along with psychologist Harry Segal, Gartner co-hosted this podcast for 70 episodes to analyze Trump’s psyche. The series concluded in October 2025, though Gartner continues to give interviews on the subject.
Publications
Gartner has authored and contributed to several books focused on these assessments:
*The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: A collection of essays by 27 mental health experts (2017).
*Rocket Man: Nuclear Madness and the Mind of Donald Trump.
Controversy
Gartner’s work is controversial within the medical community because it often bypasses the Goldwater Rule, an ethical principle that discourages psychiatrists from diagnosing public figures they have not personally examined. Critics, such as psychiatrist Allen Frances, argue that labeling Trump as "mentally ill" can stigmatize the illness and that his fitness should be addressed through political activism rather than psychology.

This one is Chinese propaganda.
No mention that the US is a net exporter of oil? Or that China buys 80-90% of Iran’s oil exports at a steep discount because the west has them sanctioned?
China is temporarily insulated because they stockpiled a shitload of cheap Iranian oil leading up to this and have a shitload of cheap dirty coal. They’re about 2-3 months from being in a tough spot if this goes on. Yeah they’ll be able to get more oil from Russia but it will take a little time to evolve to that.

Genocide - good/bad?
Trump won't actually perform this tonight, and will just claim that Iran "agreed" to something. If I'm Iran, I tell him to fuck right off, we ain't opening the fuckin' strait. Trump can say that they agreed to something but that won't change the increase in gas prices, and Trump will be fucked.
Or maybe if the guy is really insane and orders the power plants and bridges destroyed, then we get the real crisis when the Military refuses. The media should be playing clips from Nuremberg nonstop.... "We were just following orders"

If he actually destroys all of the power plants and bridges, in a country of 92 million, the death rate from starvation, lack of water, etc... could exceed the holocaust.
Thankfully it's taco tuesday so I'm not specifically worried.
Skeptical. Still waiting for the death toll from Trump cutting off fhe NGO Money Spigot in Africa that we were all told was coming. Maybe the NGOs stopped overpaying adninistrators?

U.S. President Donald Trump warned that a "whole civilization will die tonight" if Tehran does not meet his latest deadline for the Islamic Republic to agree to a deal that includes reopening the crucial Strait of Hormuz.
"Whole civilization" dying tonight - how exactly does that not dovetail with genocide? I know he'll "chicken out" but he at least made the hollow threat...
Unless he nukes them, it isn't happening as threatened.
-
Just using rhetoric like that is insane. Trump has severely damaged our reputational standing in the world.
They don't care.

This makes zero sense. Genocide has been threatened, so duh, it’s not genocide until it actually happens.

Trump's bluster - while we know it was just bluster - required no use of nukes. There aren't *that* many power plants in Iran, regular old conventional missiles would be able to take them offline for months, very easily. I mean, cold weather took half the power plants in Texas down for a week. There were never gonna be any nukes.

Dude - it was Trump. He's fucking demented.
The literal threat was to take out the power plants and bridges. That's electricity and transport, which fucks up water, food, hospitals. Unless Trump was going to follow this up with substantial food and water aid, which was not in place for Gaza let alone Iran, a lot of people would die, and their overall economy would take a massive long term hit. There would be refugees headed towards other nearby countries that could barely serve their own people.
There were never gonna be nukes. Besides, it was all a shell game to manipulate the stock market, as PAMan and myself can tell you as we made massive profits going long yesterday. Right, Gregg?

Talk is cheap. A twitter post that may or may not contain accurate information. I think I’ll wait to see what the “total surrender” or “total obliterated” deal looks like in two weeks.
Meanwhile we have a worse version of the same regime in Iran that maintains drone, missile and nuclear weapons research capabilities. It will be interesting to see if Iran keeps some form of its tariffs on Hormuz commerce.
Thankfully, Pakistan and other Asian countries worked behind the scenes to provide Trump with a possible off-ramp.
This is a War of Whim.

Iran is in a much stronger strategic position than it was on February 27, 2026. It now will have US recognition of its right to charge tolls (which have been described as high as $2million a ship) to go through the Strait. One recent JP Morgan report estimated that Iran keeping tolls on shipping in the Strait could amount to a yearly windfall for the Iranian government of $70-90 billion. That is completely new, fresh cash, in perpetuity. That would make this one of the richest reparations packages in history; could be more one trillion dollars in fewer than 12 years.
The Obama administration transferred a total of $1.7 billion in cash to Iran in 2016

Custard AOTC per usual:
Pro-Iran groups have used artificial intelligence to create slick internet memes in English to try to shape the narrative during the war against the U.S. and Israel and foster opposition to it.
Analysts say the memes appear to be coming from groups linked to the government in Tehran and are part of a strategy of leveraging its limited resources to inflict damage on the U.S., even indirectly.
"This is a propaganda war for them (Iran)," said Neil Lavie-Driver, an AI researcher at the University of Cambridge. "Their goal is to sow enough discontent with the conflict as to eventually force the West to cave in, so it is massively important to them."

Awake A 👁️
Recent polling and analysis from early 2026 indicate a significant, ongoing partisan divide in trust in science, with MAGA (Make America Great Again) supporters generally exhibiting higher skepticism toward scientific institutions, vaccines, and climate change consensus compared to the general population.
Trust in Science and Institutions
*Declining Trust: A 2026 report indicates that trust in federal health agencies like the CDC, FDA, and NIH has fallen among the general public during the second Trump administration, decreasing from 74%–76% in February 2024 to 60%–62% by February 2026.
*Partisan Divide: Data from 2022–2024 shows that while trust in science was relatively similar in the 1970s, it has polarized. By 2024, only 36% of Republicans expressed "a great deal" of trust in the scientific community, compared with 45% of Democrats.
*MAGA Perspective: MAGA supporters often exhibit distrust in expert-driven institutions and favor independent, non-governmental sources of information.
Vaccines and "MAHA" Movement
*MAHA Movement Skepticism: The "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) movement, aligned with MAGA supporters, holds high levels of skepticism toward vaccines.
*Vaccine Attitudes: A February 2026 poll found that 65% of MAHA respondents supported reducing the number of vaccines Americans receive, compared to 41% of the general population
*Policy Impact: MAHA-supporting parents are twice as likely as non-supporters to s okkip or delay vaccines for their children.
*Republicans report higher usage of non-evidence-based COVID-19 treatments like ivermectin.
Climate Change
*Partisan Divide: Climate science is a major area of polarization. A 2020 report found 87% of Democrats trusted climate scientists, compared to 56% of Republicans.
*MAGA Views: Studies show that supporters of Donald Trump are less likely than those who disapprove of him to agree that human activity drives climate change (50% vs. 79%, respectively).
*Scientific Consensus Disconnect: Conservative ideology and Trumpism have been linked to a higher likelihood of rejecting anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change, a trend that decreases with higher education.
Key Findings on Public Health Policies
*Vaccine Policy Changes: In February 2026, amid policy changes that reduced the number of diseases targeted by routine childhood vaccinations, trust in the CDC among the general public remained at a low level.
*Trusted Messengers: Despite the overall distrust, some studies found that using trusted messengers—such as seeing Donald Trump speak positively about vaccines—could increase vaccine acceptance among his supporters.

No, MAGA supporters do not generally view science itself as a "liberal conspiracy." That framing is a common oversimplification pushed in partisan media, but it doesn't hold up under scrutiny of polling data, historical trends, or the actual critiques from many on the right.

And Trump isn’t that clever. Although he’s very good at running scams. It’s his one area of genius.
You guys were the ones saying that this was a war of whim with no plan and no strategy and no clear objectives, despite the WH publishing the strategy and objectives. A guy like Victor Davis Hanson who has been studying American foreign wars for over 50 years giving detailed daily breakdowns on the why and how. Military experts posting videos to socials and YouTube daily breaking down strategy and the machines and how they were being used. When I pointed this out, I was told my sources suck.
All this to say that I’m glad you’re coming around to the idea that there was a plan. A lot goes into something like this, it isn’t just Trump waving a magic wand out of nowhere and making a large scale military operation happen on the spot.

Victor Davis Hanson is a neocon and Trump fluffer who was a staunch supporter for the 2003 Iraq invasion and holds interventionist foreign policy views.
The stakes are never higher and there's nothing worse for a country or leader than going to war incompetently. Iran has shown it can create challenges for the global economic system and force various parties to adjust. Even though the U.S. holds overwhelming military power, it has accepted a two-week pause under conditions it cannot fully dictate.
And what did Trump achieve?
Regime change? - Iran’s regime is now strengthened.
Capture/destroy their uranium? - We've basically given up on that.
Destroy their military? - Some of it yes, but they had enough to bomb other Gulf Petrostates, Israel, and U.S. military targets.
Iran now controls the Strait of Hormuz, and nothing we do short of boots on the ground is going to change that fact. Perhaps Hanson and you can lead the first wave to take the Strait. ALL GLORY TO GOD!!!

Yep he totally nailed it.
Except the regime is objectively weakened and under increasing pressure, not strengthened.
We are still after their uranium as part of the deal
Their economy can’t function long term with the strait effectively closed and I’ll be shocked shitless if this “toll system” actually amounts to anything long term. Other places produce oil and can ramp up production and close whatever gap exists sooner than later.
Upwards of 90% of their military capacities are destroyed or severely degraded. Leadership is fractured and in disarray. They’re tenuously holding onto power by false bravado and coercion versus actual popularity.
These points I’m making are verifiable and objective, not Alum and Tempo’s “gut emotional feelings” about what may be playing out.

Seriously though, I don’t know if followers can be “bought.” You can promote tweets, but I think they charge you by the interaction, so I’m guessing it would be expensive. Not sure, though.

There’s already a ton of risk premium built into oil/gas that isn't related to supply and demand fundamentals, and the markets may be getting to the point where they are not going to be as reactive to every little thing happening in Iran. Talks fell apart, blockade announced, oil went up a bit, stocks fell a bit (but only around $100 a barrel which is sustainable) and then the markets rallied and are up for the day.
This too shall pass.

Nailed it:
I genuinely don’t know whether to laugh or lose my mind anymore at this European hypocritical double standards.
When it comes to Vladimir Putin, suddenly it’s Churchillian resolve. No compromise. No dialogue. Arm Ukraine to the teeth, sanction everything that moves, wreck your own energy security if necessary - because tyranny must be confronted.
Fine. I actually respect the consistency of that … in isolation.
But then you turn around and lecture us - us - the Gulf monarchies, Jordan and Israel, about showing restraint with Tehran? About dialogue? About coexistence?
Are you serious?
For forty years - forty bloody years - this regime has been waging a shadow war across the region. Militias, proxies, sleeper cells, terror networks, destabilizing entire countries - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen - and threatening the Gulf monarchies, Jordan, and Israel nonstop.
This isn’t theoretical. This isn’t abstract. This is lived reality.
And yet here come Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and the rest of the European choir, gently advising us to calm down, de-escalate, and - what was it again? - “give diplomacy a chance.”
Diplomacy with who, exactly? With a system that has built its entire regional strategy on plausible deniability and proxy terror violence?
You were willing to absorb inflation, energy shocks, and political backlash at home to confront Moscow. You made that choice. You said: this is the price of standing up to a tyrant.
So don’t come here and tell us - after decades of being on the receiving end - that we should just sit down, smile politely, and “coexist.”
Either you believe in confronting tyranny everywhere .. or you don’t.

Now Trump's attacking the Pope, alienating Italy's right wing government that is most ideologically compatible with him. Sending JD to Hungry was also a dumbass move.

The transcript.
HEGSETH: Which leads me finally to a prayer that I'll read, which was also handed to me a couple of days ago, delivered from the lead mission planner of Sandy-1. Sandy-1 were the A-10s that were a part of the daylight rescue mission of 44 Alpha - Dude 44 Alpha out of Iran. And if you know anything about Sandies, their job is to bring those A-10s and put them in between the enemy and that down pilot. And so their job is to literally sacrifice themselves for someone else, and in Iran and contested territory, that's exactly what they did. So it's this prayer was recited by Sandy-1, which is one of the Sandies, to all Sandies, all those A-10 crews prior to all CSAR missions, but especially this CSAR mission that happened in real time. They call it CSAR 25:17, which I think is meant to reflect Ezekiel 25:17. So the prayer is CSAR 25:17 and it reads and pray with me please: "The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of camaraderie and duty, shepherd the lost through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children, and I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother, and you will know my call sign is Sandy-1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee, and Amen."

That’s not accurate at all. A lot of the rage bait isn’t even close to accurate or factual and people are just running with it. Ironically all the same people who cried misinformation during the pandemic.

Custard? Care to rebut?

Sean Hannity “no longer Catholic,” may suffocate with both of Trump’s balls in his mouth.

Who had a visit with the Pope days before CBS had 3 Bishops or Cardinals, or whatever, who voiced their opposition to the Iran conflict and the Pope voiced his ?
All in a matter of a few days.

I'm skeptical The White Sox Pope was swayed by anyone on the issues. He's not Trump who tends to be swayed by the last person he speaks with.

So much for the Straits being "open." Iran just fucking with Trump over and over again. Humiliating.

Here we go again...tit for tat.
The U.S. handed Iran a very powerful tool in foreign relations. Every time something isn't to their liking, they close the Strait or jack up the price.

That behavior seems familiar for some strange reason..

I gather he means David Axelrod swayed the Pope? He implied that. Is implying stuff allowed?
-
Because Senior Advisors of ex-President's commonly meet with the Pope. Especially the pro-abortion Senior Advisors of ex-Presidents.

How so? The blockade is still in place.
And don’t worry, Keir Starmer and the cavalry are on their way to help!
We really don’t need much of what comes through that strait. It’s hurting Iran and China way more than us.
-
Axelrod is actually politically pro-choice. It appears he hasn't discussed his private views on abortion in public. He said his audience with the Pope was granted months ago. They are both the same age and there is the Chicago connection. Perhaps a common view of nationalism?

Fucking hilarious everyone is so concerned with what the papists think all of a sudden

No, but you could have made it make sense.

Yep, Trump cares what he says.

If that algorithm shit were true, I wouldn’t constantly see MAGA shit in my timeline.
Wait, you don’t think there’s algorithms?! Holy shit dude, get your head out of the sand. That’s the whole reason for META. You’re the product they’re selling…
-
Wait, you don’t think there’s algorithms?!
I never fucking said that. Of course there is, I merely pointed out that I also see a fair amount of stuff that doesn’t feed my biases. So what I’m saying is my algorithms aren’t slanted completely a single way
-
People here seem to think I only see a certain type of news or commentary, which is not true
-
My algorithms are probably not any more slanted than yours or custards
-
No, but you could have made it make sense.
It was a simple whodunnit question that Ray answered.

If by “Kansas” you mean Beirut, you are correct
