Oh absolutely. I like JD, but he can be a bit of a windbag sometimes. His mind seems set on 2028, not 2025 sometimes.

I think Murphy's mad dash to the nearest camera speaks rather poorly of his integrity and credibility. Better to assess the information with staff who have more expertise before mouthing off. But it is no surprise.

Trump is gonna Trump. But a very biased reporter with a reputation for hyperbole and partisanship, who suddenly "obtains" a preliminary report, is hardly a reputable source either. Especially when she 'forgets' to write that her facts are based on a preliminary report leaked by an anti-Trumper. I will trust the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs personally.

Ah yes. Well known expert on military affairs Chris Murphy. Known for his reputation as a non-partisan and realistic member of Congress.

Exactly. Listen to the General. The weapons used were designed specifically to target and eradicate Iran's nuclear facilities. And they did. And what is really sad is the near glee with which the deranged left sought to discredit the mission and downplay the success, all with the sole purpose of making Trump look bad. This goes beyond politics, it is an issue of national (and indeed international) importance that Iran's nuclear programme is utterly shut down. And yet, political games have to be played. Straws have to be grasped. "The Syndrome" rules all.

No rant here. Just mentioned in passing that it isn't so unbelievable that Rutte and Trump get along, because Trump gets along with lots of people. And that set the fox in the henhouse, with denials and protestations galore.

God, it is HILARIOUS seeing all the anti-Trump types jump and scream. "No, no, NO!!! Nobody could POSSIBLY have anything positive to say about the Bad Orange Man!! It would damage my carefully constructed house of cards about him...." Y'all need to sniff some flowers. See some nature. Anything to counteract the malignancy that is dominating your lives. This mindless and pointless obsession with a man you have never, and will never, meet is not good for your blood pressure or stomach acid.

...and Obama replied, "no kidding, I have seen it in action!" They were talking about Biden's brain, am I right?

The delusion, it is strong. Trump spent decades in the public spotlight while he was a developer in NYC. He was a media darling. He was the star of a very successful tv show for more than a decade. Yet now we are to suddenly believe that he has become a loathsome leper? Come on, man.

You can ask many people who have actually met him- Bill Maher for example. Or see how he and Obama seem to get along whenever they meet.

You know, something that a LOT of people who suffer from "The Syndrome" fail to realize is that Trump is a very nice guy, one on one. Funny, entertaining, listens well, asks questions. Quite charming in fact!

Technically 3.5% directly on the military, and another 1.5% on military adjacent infrastructure and so on. But still a good step. Trump wins again. Promises kept.

True, but it makes the acronym messy. "MENISWGA" is a bit unwieldy. How about Forward, United Christian Kingdom?

No crimes. Except ID theft And falsifying documents And driving without licenses or insurance And harboring known illegal aliens (against the US Code 8/1324. Which also covers smuggling, conspiracy, transporting known illegals, etc. Yeah, except THOSE crimes.

You folks need someone to do MEGA- Make England Great Again.

Yes, but remember that they are just simple, hardworking folk who never committed a crime... except for those ones...and maybe a few more related to driving...and supporting organized crime by using cartels to bust the US border... but other than that, they are completely blameless!

Keep on wishing. Typical leftie behavior, desperately trying to be a victim or close to a victim.

Well, the NorKs already HAVE their bombs built, so it is sadly moot point. Maybe bombing them ten or fifteen years ago would have been better. Also, to my knowledge they are not sponsoring or supporting terrorist groups like Hamas or Hezbollah.

I believe that entering illegallly is a crime under the US Code. As is knowingly harboring an illegal alien. As is using false or stolen identity papers to obtain work, drive, etc.

Yeah? Talk to Vanderbilt University about that. They were performing "gender affirming" surgeries on kids under 18 until 2022.

Probably not a bad idea too... But banning chemical castration and permanent mutilation is not a bad thing. Therapy and counselling will do wonders for kids who are confused, frightened, and feel hopeless.

As long as the "West" doesn't try to do it themselves, I am OK with it. Let the people in Iran figure it out for themselves. The Guard has been largely decapitated. If they choose to continue under the Islamic State, that is their business. As long as they stop sponsoring terrorists and trying to make an A-bomb.

Perhaps, it depends on who is in power when this whole kerfuffle is finished. At the least, they might invest in the country if it agrees to basic principles like the rule of law.

In the end, it will come down to this: 1. Iran, you can't have nukes. We will make sure. 2. In return, sanctions will be lifted and billions of tasty Dollars and Euros will flow into your country. 3. The diaspora of Iranian refugees will return and lend their expertise to rebuilding the country. And just like that, Iran can rejoin the community of nations, prosper, and enjoy freedom. Remove the shackles of the mad mullahs and the Iranian people will see to the rest.

I agree, although I dont think the Iranians are actually succeeding in killing American democracy. Trying, yes. But that is all. The Mad Mullahs will be defanged completely, then their own people will give them the Ceaucescu Treatment.
