“Targets included missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines. U.S. Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire.”
The strikes come just hours after Trump said negotiations with Iran were “proceeding nicely.”
This is it, the reckoning we have all suspected was on the way. The inevitable backlash of all America’s sins consolidated under one presidency. One violent, insular ignoramus to rule them all. A completely dysfunctional government laid bare for all to see. Decades of “full spectrum dominance” brought to its inevitable end. No nation has ever existed solely by the power of it’s military dominance. Every nation that has attempted to do so has fallen.
The man has had a stroke, his face sags on one side unmistakably. Maybe it’s time to stop pretending that everything is okay? Swear Vance in and be done with the charade. It’s humiliating
Maybe we can take a break from 80-year-olds for a time. Is that communism?
Great Depression later this year.
Why wait…
And this moron was just bragging about how they reached an agreement with Iran to dispose of their uranium in the deal and this master negotiator just literally blew it up.
Moron and the morons that voted for the moron…
I bet moron is killing it in the stock manipulation
jesus fuck what an incompetent malignant freak
Anyone who thinks President JD Vance is going to end the the war is going to get rug pulled harder than folks holding the HawkTuhaCoin bags.
I have no illusion things will get better under the other motherfucker. I just want things to get worse for that one motherfucker.
He’ll die sooner or later.
Just tired of all the Nostrodamuses who think they’ve got the day pegged.
You don’t have to be Nostrodamus to predict that the 80 year old man who really looks their age and has near monthly “routine” health checks and brags about passing the kinds of cognitive tests they only give when they think you have dementia is going to die soon…
I think people are getting their hopes too high expecting him to expire any day now. Actuarial tables for men give only like a 5-6% chance of death in a year for men his age. While he’s obviously not in peak condition, the average Americans those tables are based on certainly aren’t either and unlike most of them he does have the benefit of insane resources to throw at whatever medical challenge (ex. the experimental Covid therapy that saved his life when he got infected with that) and very regular scanning. Plus genetics is a factor and his dad lived to 93 while his mom got to 88.
Nostradamus was a prophet of doom. I’m just a Joe Average who, after 18 months of having to watch this shitshow unfold, seeks some much-deserved solace in the knowledge that one particularly despicable sack of shit is finally with the worms.
Champagne is in the cooler, waiting to be popped. You’re not going to take this away from me, mate. ;)
it’s just a matter of time indeed.
Did the Pumpkinhead even have any deal?
Every week is like groundhog day. Trump declares victory, claims that peace talks are underway, and then they drop more bombs, without any deal being reached.
It amazes me that there are still people gullible enough to believe that this isn’t another forever war for us and that gas isn’t going back down any time soon.
It’s only a forever war is we don’t remove the motherfuckers who refuse to stop him.
November may be our last chance. I know not everyone here loves the Dems, but they really are our only hope at this point, and we need to support them in the general election.
It dropped 5% for the holiday weekend. Never seen that happen before. The art of the deal
There’s a sucker born every minute and 30+% of the population still think he’s a good president

Off an 80% spike since the year started.
30+% of the population still think he’s a good president
As a person in the O&G industry, I regret to say he’s good for me. My salary/bonus is fully outrunning inflation. Nevermind the compound stock gains juicing my 401k.
Trump’s still shit in my book. But if I started out a Republican, why would I object to any of this shit?
A Global Crusade Against The Wretched Islam, ballooning profits, violent police actions against all those horrible minorities we don’t like, that cool new ballroom, kidnapping the president of Venezuela, our SCOTUS is rigging the next election, what’s not to love?
O&G was booming under Biden as well though? Like the endless expansion in the Permian Basin was going full throttle, just with a least some oversight. The companies weren’t even drilling all their leases because they didn’t want to drop the price of oil.
Yeah, but what if it was booming EVEN MORE? Checkmate athiest…
I’m seeing in the billionaire-owned media that they were “self-defense” strikes. SMH.
So they are accurately quoting the CENTCOM spokesman … how dare they!
It is irresponsible to report blatant lies without the context demonstrating that it’s a blatant lie.
Exactly, you can still report “centcom said this…” while also reporting the actual facts.
Love a good military stenographer
There is a difference between reporting and writing opinions.
Lolz.
I thought all the boats were sunk?
Hmmm, something seems fishy here. Either we didn’t sink their navy, or we are blowing up fishing boats, or both I guess. good job
“The report also claimed that US officials had privately told Iran that Trump’s public statements were largely intended for domestic political and media audiences in the United States and should not be interpreted as reflecting the substance of ongoing discussions.”
Granted, bias can come from any source, but still. Nobody is jumping up to refute it on the US side either. But if it is true, he’s been talking bullshit from the beginning, shocking nobody.

beginningmoment he could speak, shocking nobody.
What’s most fucked up about this is it is strictly 100% about manipulating the markets and making money, that’s it.
And that it happens every fucking Tuesday.
Find what you need, turn them into the enemy, fight them and steal what you wanted. It’s only failed a few times
Any media that’s pretending to be honest needs to, if they’re going to quote Trump, either precede or proceed the quote with a disclaimer that he lies about everything. That’s basic integrity. Otherwise, you’re becoming the media that’s complicit.
I would settle with them giving the full quote completely in context. The only reason Trump has gotten so far is the media sane washing everything he says and adding whatever spin the talking heads want to it.
Any media that’s pretending to be honest
Honest is just another word for Woke.
We’ll have none of it
Expecting any other behavior at this point is light-years beyond foolish. The word of the president has been proven useless time and time again. He has made it now impossible to deal with the US, as any deals are subject to be altered at his petty whims. We saw this with the tariffs and we will continue to see it.
Isn’t pretending to have peace talks while bombing them a war crime or something
“Perfidy” I think is the term for it
Didn’t Japan do the same thing with the US as they were bombing Pearl Harbor?
Not exactly. Roosevelt scheduled talks with Japan, and then had the diplomats to Japan skip the meetings. He did this multiple times. IIRC that was either the 12th or 13th meeting that the US delegation didn’t attend. At that point Japan decided that the US wasn’t actually interested in peace talks and attacked.
So in that case, as an American, I am inclined to believe that Japan was genuinely interested in the peace talks. We weren’t, or more specifically our president wasn’t interested in peace talks.
Wilson also didn’t help matters by setting the stage for WWII.
The US wasn’t even in the war until pearl harbour
Exactly. And there were peace negotiations taking place between the two nations in the hours before the attack.
Japan, champion war crimerer
He never knew how to make a deal, did he?
Fart of the squeal.
Bakrupts casino
Decides that’s not big enough
Bankrupts the US and plunges the world into a depression
If anyone could bankrupt the casino economy of the the post reagan america, its Trump.
the casino folded but he walked away with his investors’ money. hey wait a minute
THREE casinos
How in the actual fuckity fucking fuck do you bankrupt ONE casino, let alone fucking three of them
Intentionally.
Hey guys, invest money in my new casino! It’s a license to print money!
Cool, now I’ll just pay myself from the casino funds for my contribution to marketing, interior design, management, consulting, and it’s gone. It’s all gone. Oops, bankrupt. It happens, business is risky.
Hey guys, invest money in my new casino!
And suppose that the investors were using dirty money for the investments, and trump was giving it back to them after the fact with just a little skimmed off the top for himself, also getting in their good graces and accumulating favors for laundering that money. It sure would explain all the ties between him and the Russian mob, huh?
easy, you do it on purpose to defraud your marks
True. He is a conman after all.
Probably a whole lot of money laundering going on, too.
Art of the steal
