We certainly had some military failures in our history, but this is the first failure due to the sheer stupidity of the President and his "brain trust". The incompetence must have Putin calling Xi and laughing themselves silly.

Trump’s War:

So far this looks mainly like a victory for Iran, as most of the items in a potential “Trump’s War” ad at the bottom here still hold; mainly because Trump presented so many goals for the war! Dems should play up that perspective on the war to counter Trump’s Administration propaganda about the war’s success.

Certainly, it can be said that it is good there is a cease fire and there was no destruction of a civilization. And it is good that the Strait will be open now (of course it had been open before the war started!). Importantly, the damage outlined in the ad has been done. For example, even if gas pieces lower now, money lost by citizens is gone.

Potential Ad about Trump’s War:

====================================

Trump’s War checklist: Mission not accomplished

Hard line regime change: yes NO

Nuclear stockpile eliminated: yes NO

Strait of Hormuz reopened for all: unsure

Hundreds of US soldiers killed or injured: YES

Thousands of Innocent civilians killed or displaced: YES no

Gas and other prices increased: YES no

Increased fertilizer cost hurting U.S. and world farmers and resulting in effects on world hunger: YES no

Infrastructure and residential structures damaged: YES no

Stockpiles of expensive weapons depleted: YES no

Weakened international alliances and respect for America: YES no

U.S Middle East military bases damaged in bombings: YES no

Time for regime change in Washington--Congress now and the White House in 2028:

Vote Democratic and stop Trump’s abuse of presidential power and destruction of democracy.

6/ His impeachment is the price he should pay for making us ALL vulnerable, and the war crimes committed under his watch.

11/ How long before the Dems cave and confirm the “acting” AG?

14/ so, Melania has access to the new love plane… Remind me, aside from first escort, what does she do for country? She’s barely in the WH.

Hey All you SP’s out there, Good news..We didn’t have to take our cyanide capsules last night, or drink all the good booze we’ve been hoarding for the end of the world day….

Another grift:

“…Before this war started, the Strait of Hormuz was open. Now, Iran will charge a toll to ships that pass through. Trump is even talking about teaming up with them to do it….”

What’s a bet the orange urinal cakes family is going to make bank on this “deal”. I’m guessing he gets a cut & it’s going to the same account

With all the other money he’s grifted off the USA.

How much has this display of blob's utter incompetence cost? In money, lives lost and injured, loss of what shred of dignity our country had left, destruction of other countries property, their loss of lives, just so a stupid fuck brained idiot could create chaos, escalate the chaos, and provide "his" solution to the entire mess he created? Makes me ashamed to be an american. Screw his fragile ego - maybe he'll feel bad and consume a few more burgers to assuage his crushed ego.

Somehow, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump did threaten to nuke my state.

io bonini's avatar

OH Evan, Let me guess...CA.? It's got to be a blue state. I don't think he'll give any warning for that. They will do it and then blame it on Iran and then declare martial law, just in time for the midterms. Stay safe out there.

Evan's avatar

Actually, I was referencing how they joked about nuking Nebraska. Being someone who hates Trump deep in the heart of a red state also has its dangers.

io bonini's avatar

OMG...Apologies for the blue states possibly being the first nuked. We are all in danger of the crazy Cheetos antics. Thanks for that reminder...stay safe wherever you are....

Evan's avatar

Thank you! You as well.

So, Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz again! So much winning!

Thanks for the video of Mayor Mamdani interacting with New Yorkers! He’s a great human being and an excellent politician. I haven’t been this excited about anyone since President Obama

Omg. I love the Mandami post with his Uganda constituent.

Also love the surrender flag with the maggot bowing down. 😂

Speaking of memes, there is a great video put out by Iran showing a map with the coordinates of Israel's nuclear research site in Dimona. No speech, no threat, just video of the site layout & coordinates. Looked more like a movie trailer! Smart stuff.
