"... Grocery prices are up. Housing. Energy. Insurance. Health care. Basic living expenses. It's real. It's happening. Denying it just makes you look out of touch, deceitful, and untrustworthy. ..." [Tr]

"The conservatives on here denying the affordability crisis are engaged in what I can only describe as an act of political suicide. They're also lying, which is the worst part. Grocery prices are up. Housing. Energy. Insurance. Health care. Basic living expenses. It's real. It's happening. Denying it just makes you look out of touch, deceitful, and untrustworthy. It's also a completely unnecessary and unforced error. No credible person is claiming that Trump caused these price surges. You don't have to disgrace yourself by denying the reality in front of your face just to prove your loyalty to Trump. The causes for the most part are multi faceted, complicated, and longstanding. That's true. So let's discuss them. Debating whether the problem exists at all -- or, if it does exist, whether it counts as a problem -- is a total waste of time, and makes you look like a shill and a fraud."

Trump has an immense hatred for Iran and threatened to wipe out their entire civilization.

He said on April 7th that “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” if Iran failed to make a deal that includes reopening the vital Strait of Hormuz.”

What’s your point, Einstein? (other than the one on your head)

Iran is still there. Trump has not “wiped out Iran”... just some or most of their military. Any real ‘wiping out’ has been done by the Iranian mullahs against thousands of their own civilians.

So... I have to ask. Don’t you have homework to do? Chores? Mowing the lawn? Something more productive than the endlessly stupid and juvenile stuff you post on a political debate forum, which is obviously waaay over your paygrade and intellectual capabilities...? Just sayin....

He threatened to wipe out an entire civilization. This is quite distrubing and it is sad that many don’t find it troubling.

He continues to attack Iran.

The local FT TDS type 2 sycophants refuse to see what is in front of their eyes and instead drink the orange coolade.

Hilarious is that they are doing what many accuse those on the left of doing(which they are correct)

It’s a delicate matter. Oh wait. No it’s not. It’s WAR. And in war, people in charge/leaders say things. (obligatory duh here)

I guess the concept of war escapes you, eh? You have perhaps been too sheltered in your life to get that, but I suspect that that’s all about to change... should Trump’s agenda be defeated by the radical left, with the help of people like you.

Just like the idiots in New York and in other blue-leftist areas... you’ll FAFO and reap what you and your stupidty has sown. Only problem I have with that... is you’ll take others (like me) down along with you. And that pisses me off.

Wrecking supply chains by shutting the entire economy down during COVID didn’t help either. The economic inefficiencies that we’re living with now got their start when Dr. Fauci stepped up to the microphone and the most of our politicians went brain-dead from cowardice.

So you have no problem with wiping out a whole civilization?

Yes or no?

We'll pay more for gas. Therefore we are more likely to vote for the Democratic Party.

This is how our enemies effect regime change.

To prevent millions of Americans from dying in a nuclear attack by a fanatical religious regime it is worth it.

I don't know if you see this site as a testing ground for neocon sales pitches, but I think most of us have been around the block too many times to believe that pap.

Yikes, you’re slow. Nobody has wiped out a whole civilization.

How old are you? Just curious.

And another thing.... I’ve lost count re: how many times Iran has vowed to ‘wipe Israel’ off the face of the planet. Are you ok with that rhetoric? Or is it only Trump’s words that you target?

You are changing the subject and not answering my question.

I will take it as a yes that you support wiping out a civilization.

I think between a nuclear armed Iran and an affordability crises, I pick the affordability crises. Millions of deaths will cost us far more in the long run.

And when you lose an election trying to make that case, then you end up with a nuclear Iran and an affordability crisis exacerbated by Democrats America-haters in charge. Sounds great.

Because.... your question is stupid and not based in reality. But ok. No, nobody sane really wants to wipe out an entire civilization and neither does Trump. Anyone that really thinks that he does is too dumb to be alive. Especially since, if he really meant it, it would already have been a done deal. It’s like debating a four-year old. I’m out.

According to you and others here that support the war, we should take Iran’s threats seriously, but not Trump’s.

A threat is a threat no matter who says it.
