    And MAGAts will somehow turn this into something good. But whereas they would have completely flipped out when gas prices would have risen just one cent under Biden lol.

      Gas prices are rising because the US are fighting a just war against the forces of evil. If you complain about high gas prices you’re disrespecting the military and siding with the forces of evil because you’re an enemy of the Nation and probably suffer from TDS.

    The CIA needs to throw this asshole into a bag and toss him into straight. Then he’d know the first fucking thing about this war.

    That didn’t happen.

    And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

    And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

    And if it is, that’s not my fault.

    And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

    And if I did, you deserved it.

    Let’s keep remembering that trump unilaterally started this war just because he is hiding proof of his degeneracy. There was no other reason to start this war.

    January 18th 2025, Louisville Kentucky. Two days before the bag of shit took office. I took this picture specifically because we all knew he would fuck everything up. Bring back sleepy Joe… Or just not have a President… We would be better off.

      These are the same sort of dumbfucks that sat there and accepted slogans like “promises made, promises kept” from all these assholes, instead of even asking the most basic of questions…I just heard KKKarolyin’ Leavitt repeat that about disrupting children’s vaccination schedules, in fact.

    “After we finish defeating Iran … pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States,” said Trump.

    Cope a little harder?!

    “This strait will be opened and closed only under Iran’s command, and so long as you do not accept the reality of defeat and stop indulging in fantasies, Iran will continue to enforce the blockade,” Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi posted on X.

    Wait, i thought Trump already declared victory in Iran 🤔
