The MAGA faithful/rednecks want to believe donny and his team but unfortunately FACTS get in the way.....

"The Atlantic reported that Trump privately made damning statements against U.S. service members and veterans, such as the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who had been a Vietnam prisoner of war, and former President George H.W. Bush, who was shot down as a Navy pilot in World War II. During a visit to France in 2018 for the centennial anniversary of the end of World War I, Trump also reportedly called Marines who died at Belleau Wood “suckers” and fallen soldiers at Aisne-Marne American Cemetery “losers.”

 ALSO...Donald Trump said this about John McCain: “He’s not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

So the MAGA faithful would like to believe a compulsive liar whose record is appalling.

What Trump said about McCain was despicable.

But how does that make it okay for you to keep regurgitating the "suckers and losers" lie?

Hey, I thought you said you were going to bring the video of him saying it?

Poor lefty, caught in another lie.

The authoritarian regime just spoke out loud,it accidentally reveals (or openly admits) the regime's underlying view of all dissent.

Iran police chief warns protesters will be treated as 'enemies'

"Iran's top police official warned that anti-government protesters would be treated as enemies if they act in line with Tehran's adversaries amid concerns the ongoing Middle East war could trigger renewed unrest.

National police chief Ahmad-Reza Radan said protesters supporting Iran's enemies would no longer be regarded as demonstrators".

Shocking that the forum woke are siding with the authorities and mullahs. Weren't they claiming to be against fascism in all forms, yet here they are!

Hopefully Trump can free the poor Iranians, like he set in motion the chain of events that will free the Venezuelans. The left really hate freedom it seems. But then after their dire behavior during the Wu-flu we already knew that.

Affirmative ,The international left and the state sponsor of terror propaganda are flailing like a pinched balloon.Stay tuned more to come from a regime that was appeased by the last two dem administrations.

+100 !!.. Outstanding summary - though I suspect for some it will unfortunately fall straight into the TLDR category, which is a shame given the thought and effort that clearly went into putting together such a well-structured response.

It does get exhausting having to constantly rebut these dumbed-down, weaponised one-liners that try to compress complex events into simplistic bullet points. Properly addressing issues like this requires a layered, thought-through response, and that inevitably takes more than a lazy one-line retort. But that effort is rarely matched - and not many seem willing to put in the work required for an intellectually honest discussion.

The reality is that issues like this are messy, complex, and full of nuance. Yet they’re repeatedly repackaged into neat anti-Trump jabs or partisan talking points rather than being examined on their actual merits.

This makes me wonder - if Trump weren’t involved at all, would the same voices be quite so quick to score political points, or might there be a more serious attempt to debate the facts and grapple with the complexities of what’s actually happening.

I reread your post and your idea about "Properly addressing issues like this requires a layered, thought-through response, and that inevitably takes more than a lazy one-line retort." brought to memory some of Thomas Jefferson's quotes I recently heard concerning public education, critical thinking and thoughtfully taking time to research the facts and prepare a well-considered answer... to think through your argument before the debate. And here they are...

“Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.”

1789 letter to Richard Price Full quote.

“Whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights.”

Letter from Thomas Jefferson to William Charles Jarvis September 28, 1820

Excerpt from the letter:

“I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.”

National Archives and Records Administration (Jefferson papers)

Jefferson believed that if ordinary people have accurate information and education, they are capable of governing themselves and correcting problems in government. 

Information.

In his 1807 letter to John Norvell:

“Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.”

Looks like there was bias back then too.

In a 1787 letter to Edward Carrington, he wrote:

“Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.”

Absolutely need an avenue for good ideas and truthful info to flow to WE THE PEOPLE.

Education.

Look at the difference in the quality of education folks back then enjoyed versus the tribal Marxist indoctrination today.

Making the world safer. The "gateway to peace" begins with the annihilation of Irans military infrastructure, their terrorist proxy's, their nuclear ambitions. Trump is soon going to end as he states he is running out of targets to strike in Iran after 5,000 or more strikes have largely decimated Iran war apparatus. It's over for them, democrat haters are also the big losers witnessing Trumps huge wins.
