    Stop trying to deflect, Jimmy Carter started it. He's the reason the poverty line trump cultists on this board can barely afford gas and groceries.

    If we hit $10/gallon I guarantee you SG and the other cultists are going stare at the sky cursing out Obama and Biden (2 also very horrible presidents btw).

    unfortunately people can't think like Americans anymore. All they think about are party lines to alleviate their life of misery

    Exactly. The hostages were held because of Republicans going behind the back of the sitting US president to deal with Iran to cut a deal for later when Reagan became president. Jimmy Carter’s policy and actions have next to nothing to do with what happened yesterday.

    And it was none other than Bill Fcking Barr who orchestrated the cover up of this treasonous act to save the Republican Party.

    So yeah of course this hack doesn’t know history and context of our foreign policy of the past 75 years with Iran. The only thing Iran has been is a consistent tool for the right wing and republicans to distract, and demonize when they need to use them for their own political power.

    In 1953 the Republican president helped orchestrate a coup that set forward the events that happened over the course of decades that led us to where we are today… with a Republican president again meddling in the Middle East and using Iran for his political gain.

    Iran is not a democracy. It is repressive. They abuse women. Funds terrorist groups, etc. etc. However they are not a threat to the US. They are uses as a distraction for yet another Republican lying sack of sh*t and the lying sh$tty Americans who continually vote for this crap.

    The
    cartoon shows the poster to be a not so clever sociopath who doesn't understand the need to hide his defect from others.

    Well, Trump didn't end the war in Ukraine, didn't end the war in Gaza, didn't surprise anyone by his lie about not knowing anything about Project 2025, hasn't provided Americans his new affordable healthcare plan, and certainly didn't follow his promise of not involving us in any new wars. Of course, only a fool believed all that BS.

    Just waiting for our electric bill to be cut in half this summer like Trump promised.

    Truthfully.... Israel really weakened Iran. It first weakened its proxies which Iran uses to project power in the region. It weakened and tested its air defenses prior to the recent attack. And then finally with the recent major escalation, it struck a major blow to Iran's military structure, Iran's air defenses, and Iran's ability to launch its missiles.

    Iran is by no means finished, but it knows a major move (like attacking saudi oil infrastructure and closing the strait of hormuz) will likely mean the US and the region getting more involved.

    [Axios] Iran parliament reportedly backs closing Strait of Hormuz, which could spike oil prices

    Straight is closed for business.
    China gets its oil via rail so expect Israel or ISIS to attack it.

    JD Vance is so cringe. The dude said Trump is smart, and all the other Presidents the past 25 years were dumb. He just can't get his head any further up Trump's butt can he? 8 years ago Trump was so proud when he talked about his cognitive test of reciting Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.’ Good grief, the guy's deteriorated a lot since then.

    Yet you guys always forget that in 1953 a group of UK and CIA spooks helped overthrow a democratically elected government (who was in the process of nationalizing the British-owned oil industry) and install the Shah, who then went on to brutalize his people (ever hear of the Jaleh Square Massacre?) setting the stage for the overthrow in 1979. Do you ever consider the Soviet influence on Iran and understand that Iran long had claims on Azerbaijan and maybe nationalism had as much to do with the overthrow of the Shah as religion? Do you really think a US president is a near-deity who can control and direct the actions of other nations from afar? It's why serious people don't take you seriously. You only glom onto things that support your simplistic view of the world and dismiss any thoughts that include complexity, nuance, history, and the humanity of others. It would help us all out a great deal if you could just do a little better.

    He’s supporting a regime and doctrine that he will become the figurehead of in 2026 or 2027 when Trump is 25th’d.

    He won't stand a chance. Even running for Vice President he had the lowest approval rating of any VP candidate ever.

    He will be Pres for 2 years going into the election. You seem to think the election isn’t rigged in some capacity.

    This is very much worth watching. Marjane Satrapi's autobiographical, animated movie Persepolis, about her life during the Iranian Revolution as a 10- year old girl in Tehran in 1979 and the years that followed.

    Liberals are so stupid. They will literally argue over anything with someone they think they disagree with, even if they are agreeing with them. This is TDS.
    Meanwhile, we have Trump dropping Not-Are-Regime-Change bombs on Irans tech sector while the rest of the world is cheering on to this nice tune

    This is why you liberals are war mongers. Getting us into 25 years of non stop war is pretty r****ded. Do you disagree? Or do you think we should have been occupying and attacking all these nations over the last 25 years like a good war monger?
