2026 USA Political Thread

[Larry's Torch]

The initial reason for the war was to stop Iran's nuclear program (they were gonna have The Bomb any minute!) and then it was for "regime change"; neither of those things have occurred. And now, supposedly, the U.S. is giving them $300 billion?
How in hell can anyone in America continue to support/believe this grossly incompetent fuck?

It wasn't Trump's decision. Netanyahu manipulated him into attacking Iran.

So you’re saying that the leader of the free world isn't responsible for something he does if someone else talked him into it?

Right. i guess he was he was just following orders.

Just like he does every time he has a phone call with his buddy Vlad.

USA, the leader of NATO, the supposed to be the most powerful country in the world just unconditionally surrender to Iran in after only less than 4 months of war. 🤣😆 A big humiliation. The entire world has been conned, deceived that they are the GOAT. Well, thanks to the orange felon pedopotus, the world now knows the truth.

This has been reported in several places. Crazy if true. Iran will come out ahead after being needlessly attacked by Trump.
One theory is that Trump simply used his phony war to manipulate the oil market. Trump knew Iran wasn't working on a bomb and fabricated his story to rationalise his meddling.
Kushner must have made billions too via his connection to the Saudi national wealth fund. The less oil coming out of Iran, the more Saudis can sell, and at inflated prices too! Double win for KSA.

Trump and his allies are milking the American Taxpayer for Billions, if it dosen't reach 1 Trillion by midterms I would be surprised.

One thing I have noticed is the press up-playing the FIFA world cup and the party atmosphere in certain cities to again distract us from politics...

Like him or not, his time was a time all Americans can be proud and be respected by both friends and foes around the world. I still remember, everywhere you go, Americans stood tall and represented what is good and just. Sadly, that’s gone now. Americans voted for Trump and that destroyed everything that took centuries to build.

Im sick and tired of this narrative of the press doing this bad and that bad. I agree that there are serious issues with the press. But everybody seems to think that blaming the press absolves them of their role. If the FIFA coverage is meant to distract then you still have to choice to ignore it and focus on the issues that matter.

The press cannot make you forget about Epstein. People need to take some responsibility about engaging in distracting behaviors. Its like saying one is going bankrupt because of marketing and all the ads they are seeing. Sure, the constant marketing is a challenge, but we do have agency over our finances. Similarly, we can do things about the press like getting exposure to several sources of information, limiting our exposure to the press like avoiding the 24hr news cycle, not engaging in certain topics, etc. I for one, do not look at any FIFA press coverage and will watch only a select few games.

Like training in the gym, you do have to train yourself to manage distraction, but it can be done.
