Ok the President shined your shoes -- just like W did.

Now lower the interest rates like you did for W.

You didn't do it for Pappa Bush when he got in your face.

I wonder - are you fine with Tulsi being sidelined? Or do you meet her ina dark alley and she gets on the consulting and public speaking circuit at best?

So much news to digest, and so few sparring partners here to debate. Oh, well.

*Trump as it turns out DID call up Jeffries and Schumer to brief them on the attack. The media and the dems lied about it, of course, claiming no calls were made. But it gets better!

Hakim Jeffries never picked up the phone. Now that's the democrat party I remember! Asleep at the switch, yet claiming to be on it 24/7. LOL. HJ fits right in with their tradition of being asleep when the 3AM call comes in.

*A bunch of democrats are claiming the strike was illegal with AOC crying about impeachment over it.

Great logic! Guess what else was illegal under than reasoning?

*The raid to kill Bin Laden (which was an invasion of an ally, let's recall)
*"We came, we saw, he died" <--- that's Hillary! chortling about going into Libya.

Starting hostilities pre-emptively ain't the same as taking down Bin Laden with whom we had been at war (Remember the "War on Terror") for a decade.

Believing the White House on any matter at all can be hazardous to your health and sanity.

It's easier to find a needle in a haystack than truth in this White House.

We were at war with Pakistan when we sent ST6 in there? Uhh, no we weren't.
I'm also pretty sure that if Trump sent Delta Force into Mexico with the instructions to kill Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada that the left would lose its mind and claim that "Trump invaded an ally".

That's awesome :)

Oh? So what did you say? That we'd been trying to locate and kill Bin Lade for years? So according to you there's a special We've Been Trying To Locate And Kill This Guy For Years clause.

No there isn't.

Or...the President is the commander-in-chief, and has a window to conduct foreign policy via active military events at his/her discretion.

A Hawaii Obama judge will be along to declare a nationwide injunction shortly, don't worry.

Unless Schumer and Jeffries confirm the calls, there’s no evidence the calls were made…. Other that talking heads in the White hHouse, and they have ruined their own credibility.

When a president and his administration has trouble telling the truth on just about every issue, it is folly to put any trust in what they tell us.


Remember- just yesterday, Trump told us that Iran’s nuclear program was “completely obliterated”.


If you have trouble telling the truth, it’s no surprise that people have trouble believing anything you say- or at least wait for confirmation from independent sources.

Welp. You can choose to believe that Iran wasn't developing a nuclear weapon and that they only had peaceful intentions for their nuclear program if you like.

Nobody else does, though.

Remember- just yesterday, Trump told us that Iran’s nuclear program was “completely obliterated”.

And...? It might be, it might not be. Clearly the sites they have aren't going to be of much use to them for some months, if not years. You also have to factor in the Israelis taking out their nuke scientists...

If you have trouble telling the truth, it’s no surprise that people have trouble believing anything you say- or at least wait for confirmation from independent sources.

Yeah, about that. If Trump looked up at a cloudless sky and said "What a nice day it is" you people would accuse him of lying and demand to see a radar plot of local precipitation. In other words, he's not the problem.

...let's add this from Ace, who had similar thoughts:

Some are wondering if Trump will get a poll boost out of this. I think he will, and not just because he did something good.

I think he'll get a poll boost because more Americans will wake up and see that no matter what Trump does, the Democrat-Media Party will find some disgracefully partisan way to attack him.

I think their obsessive-compulsive viciousness will become apparent to more people, and more people will actually see Trump as sympathetic, besieged constantly by nasty, stupid, incompetent lunatics.


Meanwhile, the Democrat-Media Party rallies for yet another fascist tyranny dedicated to the destruction of America:

In order to see the sky, he would have to pull his head out of his ass. That hasn't happened in many decades. So, everyone KNOWS he is lying because he can't see the sky.

Amen! Donald Trump lied a total of 30,573 times during his first term. Averaging about 21 erroneous claims a day.
This is a Documented fact. Trump is a PROVEN LIAR. He's made a career of lying to gullible people.

LATEST FACT-CHECKS (LIES) OF DONALD TRUMP:
"If the Big, Beautiful tax bill doesn’t pass, there will be a 68% tax increase!" RATING = FALSE

"Harvard refuse(s) to tell us who its international students are." RATING = FALSE

"In the House bill, we’re not changing Medicaid, only cutting waste, fraud and abuse." RATING = FALSE

"Declining cargo traffic at U.S. ports means we lose less money. When you say it's slowed down, that's a good thing!" RATING = FALSE

"Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia had ‘MS-13’ on his knuckles tattooed. He had ‘MS’ as clear as you can be. Not 'interpreted.’" RATING = PANTS ON FIRE

"In 2024, China made $1 trillion off trade with the United States." RATING = FALSE

"The U.S. is taking in almost $2 billion a day in tariffs!" RATING = FALSE

"Volodymyr Zelenskyy started the war in Ukraine with Russia." RATING = PANTS ON FIRE

"I never mentioned wanting to end the Affordable Care Act!" RATING = PANTS ON FIRE

Why do so many MAGAs like being lied to?

Putting the issue in terms of:

Either Iran was two weeks away from assembling a nuclear bomn , or,

Iran had only peaceful intentions and wasn’t developing a bomb…..


Hangs the issue on the false horns of a bogus dilemna.
