Happy Father's Day

Each situation has its own nuances.

The popularity of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, among Iranian citizens is low, based on available data. Surveys from 2022 indicate that only 26% of Iranians viewed him favorably, while 66% held a negative opinion. Over 80% of respondents in a 2023 survey rejected the Islamic Republic, with many preferring a democratic system. Social media sentiment on X also suggests significant discontent, with claims that the regime's support is as low as 5-15%, particularly among urban and younger populations.
I’m not disagreeing but generally speaking if American and Israeli bombs starts falling on them, they will rally around a guy like that

This is crazy, but she deserves the recognition!

WNBA ratings will continue to suck since this lady is on the same team as the only lady anyone cares about.
In all seriousness, CC should create her own version of the Savanah Bananas and just exit the stupid WNBA. Those "women" are literally trying to take her eyes out and worse. What's the point?

Clark is the draw, just create your own traveling roadshow and be done with that sh-t-show
 
No, the country was in trouble with Biden/Harris and that is proven because it actually played out. And the country would have been in infinitely more trouble with Harris/Walz. That would have been the death blow to the US as we know it.
Economy under Biden better than Trump I and Trump II. Gaza probably worse now, Israel and Iran at war, Ukraine Russia not solved on day 1 probably worse now, Tariff disaster, pissed off our allies. Biden had good military leaders, good security advisers, Trump has all Fox talking head clowns. Only thing better is the border is closed.
 
Deja Vu. You posted that stupid set already. Only one was in his cabinet and he is a sharp guy. I guess him being Gay is enough for you to ridicule him
Ya, Pete did a great job. He drug air traffic control numbers to dangerous levels while virtue signaling gay men can be dads too. Total winner. Bessent and Grenell were actually very good picks! That is your difference.

Economy better under Biden? Are you high?
Also, did you forget about the Biden inflation disaster?

Gaza…Hamas supported by Iran attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. They did that because the Admin you think was better, was extremely weak on foreign policy and frankly not supportive of Israel. Their weakness created turmoil.

Ukraine/Russia started under Biden Admin. Putin attacked nothing when Trump was President. Putin was Trump’s bitch. However, Trump said he would stop the war immediately once he got in the White House. He was wrong to say it then and while he has tried negotiations, I think France and the EU have gotten in the way. Very dumb of Trump to set that high of a goal in his campaign.

Tariff disaster? Pissed off allies who were taking advantage of us? The tariffs have not negatively impacted the economy as had been warned.

Biden had such effective leadership and Generals, they let the Taliban have a bunch of our equipment and allowed 13 soldiers to be killed because they were too weak to let a sniper pull the trigger. Milley should have been courtmartialed at the end of the 45 admin for violating chain of command. Milley was a short, wokester.

Michelle Obama was talking parenting on a podcast and said this:
"I'm so glad I didn't have a boy," Mrs. Obama said, "because he would have been a Barack Obama."

The context is she was saying parents need to raise boys to be resilient and deal with the tough world men deal with -- and she was implying that if she had a boy Barack would have interfered in his parenting and raised someone like him -- apparently not resilient and able to deal with the real world? Only she knows what she meant.

Mike said what ?
 
Saddam Hussein made the mistake of underestimating the likes of Dick Cheney and John Bolton thirst for war.

Of course I'm disappointed at the news that we directly attacked Iran's nuclear assets as my belief is that military violence should be a last resort. I don't have access to anywhere near the amount and type of information to make any sort of judgement on the move, however. Executive authority is vested in a single person in our government in part because many situations are fluid and require response timelines that can't wait for broad consensus nor be be dictated by opinion polling, and there are occasions where unpopular decisions need to be made. I'm not shocked at the move because the administration has been clear that Iran developing nuclear weapons capability wouldn't be allowed. I just hope that POTUS was acting based on intelligence presented to him in good faith because there is risk associated with any such move.

No matter what Trump does, some people will always be opposed. That is why they are for illegals, child mutilation, open borders, vaccine mandates, criminals, and low level judges dictating policy. On tariffs, the same people want Trump to bend over to the world just as they did for Joe wrt the vaccine.
You can make some people happy all of the time, you can make some of the people happy some of the time and you can’t make some people happy no matter what you do.
 
Trump gave the Mullahs every opportunity to avoid what took place last night and they were not interested in any reasonable solution.

Two things that make me ok with this mission:

1) The Mullahs have threatened to kill all Jews and are consistently tied to death to America. Even if they have a 25% chance of accomplishing their nuclear goals, someone needed to stop it.

2) I had a friend killed by an IED in Iraq. He was good young man with a bright future. I am guessing Iran is responsible for somewhere north of at least 700 US service members deaths in the ME. It is hard to know which ones specifically, but they have not been deterred in their quest to kill our service members. Iran's ability to inflict mass casualties using Nukes is now crushed. I am praying somehow the people of Iran rise up against their leaders and choose a different, more peaceful path.

I appreciate Trump haters like Jeff can admit this move was not unreasonable. I believe fair minded people know what a problem a nuclear Iran was going to present.
 
I hated the Iraq war but it took awhile to realize just how bad the intel and advisors were in making that decision. Hopefully with Iran it is different. Iran has been a big part of state sponsored terrorism destabilizing the Middle East. Them not getting a nuke is a good thing but we will see what crazy responses they come up with. They will do something and it will try to kill as many people as possible. Trump wants peace but I'm not sure they do. Particularly with Russia and China supporting them.

She should copy what Red Grange did with the early NFL and start her own league with her own streaming telecasts !
 
It appears the bombers came all the way from MO and not the closer bases. One can only assume this was for concern over complete secrecy. One can speculate the Trump administration didn't completely trust Starmer or thought the Chinese were monitoring the IO closely.

Just some random speculation:)
They certainly did a fake out sending some B-2’s to Guam
 
Sure it is. You get rid of that regime that is the biggest supporter of terror and a more conventional government is formed, there is more peace and prosperity in the Middle East and the energy sector. Protecting/improving US commerce. Lots of tax payer money saved. I don’t think Trump suggested he/US was going to be the one doing the regime change, if it happens at all. Massie went for a loser political point.

You are moving the goal posts and I most certainly not saying that Iran isn’t an issue. It will be hard to change regimes without boots on the ground. Massie does not go for political points. He is a principled libertarian. Most importantly, he doesn’t grovel at the feet of the Israelis like half the Republican party and truly thinks America first. No matter how hard someone tries to conflate Israeli interests as American interests, they most certainly are not most of the time.
