American Politics

[SubCmdr]

Let's be clear the White House, Air Force One do not belong to Donald Trump. The White House is a workplace he doesn't get to make into something tack like Mar A Lago. The plane from Qatar is bribe and wants the American taxpayer to foot the bill retrofitting it so it can be gifted to him when he leaves office. Who does that?

This shows how messed up the Dis United States of America is at the moment. You cannot buy a plane to use for Air Force One from the company that is in your own country. No matter how you try to pass the blame of spin the message, bottom line is the Dis United States of America cannot even build a plane for the President it's company.

Show why ultimately they are going lose the AI race to China. China has the power for AI. The Dis United States of America does not. Why I pay no attention to politics.

I vote with my money!

I am waiting for someone to come here explain why Trump surrendered to the Iranians. They get sanctions removed that were in place for years. They get to keep their missiles there are restrictions on enriching Uranium and 300 billion slush fund to "rebuild" from world community.

The Israelis are pissed. They are back to worse than square one. JD issued a threat to them earlier today. So much for Trump and Bibi coalition. Does this president ever learn?

He chickened out of the Iran war for the same reason Nixon chickened out of Vietnam and Biden chickened out of Afghanistan. Because they were Wisemen! Biden was senile, but a Wiseman none the less!

The dems will never get their head out of their ass. Trump may say dumb things and even do dumb things sometimes but he is winning on the majority of the issues. America is winning even with the dumbest democrats in congress fighting him on everything that makes sense to Americans. Biden open borders created most of the problems with healthcare, education and crime and it is not a quick fix. Democrats protecting gang members, rapists, murderers from prosecution and deportation is disgraceful. These dumb democrats can't even tell you what a woman is. Mind you to be fair most of these idiots have converted to socialism or communism so not sure you can call them dumb democrats.

I am not here to call Trump names. That's school ground stuff. The "deal" he made the other day with Iran was very bad and admitted nonsensical. When Obama released the 1. 7 billion dollars of Iran's money over 10 years ago the republicans were bleating for weeks if not months.

We have a president in office with no focus and much less in common sense. All of this stuff with a UFC fight at the White House, the ballroom and reflecting pool, then the 250 dollar bill fiasco. It's no wonder why we get results like we did this week.

I can't find one republican on Capital Hill or any other place who agrees with how Trump sold us out this week. It's getting kind of old listening to folks defending Trump's feelings or less than satisfactory job performance. Now we know why he had 6 bankruptcies. He's running America into the ground just like his businesses.

Why is China's easily winning, against the USA MAGA fossil fueled race to power AI? Well, it might have something to do with the "but, but, but...solar and wind won't power AI!" energy pundits.

While the MAGA "drill-baby-drill" fossil fuel zealots (Tiny 12 and Elvis 2008, befuddled as to why the USA Is world's biggest cumulative CO2/ GHG emitter in history), love to rave and rant about and say "...but, but, but, solar and wind are intermittent", they fail to gasp that intermittency works just fine for China, as it ramps up, old school power / LDES battery storage with 67 GW of pumped-hydro and another proposed 100 GW by 2030. https://www.energyconnects.com/news/...hydro-in-2026/

Yes, while lithium-ion, sodium-ion, rust and solid-state batteries grab most of the energy storage headlines, the old school, old-fashion pumped-hydro, often overlooked by fossil fuel pundits, is quietly killing the tired old intermittency argument. A China quietly declares "...what intermittency problem?" and strips all the "problems with renewables", one-by-one.

Pumped-hydro, once predominately used extensively by nuclear, as its battery storage for excess power, are being built, at a silent but unprecedented rate in China, as part of their 14th and 15th 5-year plans, bridging the so called solar and wind intermittency and LDES gaps.

P.S.: BTW, for the fossil fuel zealots, here's a reminder of U.S. cumulative emissions: Who's been polluting the longest? March 2026, https://education.cfr.org/learn/read...eenhouse-gases

LOL. You know that you have TDS when if anyone says anything even remotely positive about Trump, the TDS fools like yourself have at it. The dogma of dumb Dems like yourself is that Trump is scum, the absolute worst. He sucks as a businessman. The war was a complete failure. His supporters are stupid, and Kamala Harris would have been way better, oh and Biden, who could not walk or talk was way better too. Yeah, Biden was so fucking good he got yanked by the ballot.

Heaven forbid you pull your head out of your ass and realize that Kamala's whole campaign was basically, "I am not Trump" and got her ass kicked. Was that a wake up call for those of you with TDS? Hell no! Why admit to being stupid when you can claim you are so smart?

I give Trump a the- for his action with this war. He was right about the SOH being shut down not affecting things too much despite the rants of Dems. And the other thing is he knew he had a losing hand and folded. I admire a president who made a mistake and changes a course while you people with TDS make fun of him with the TACO moniker. Do you fools want this war to continue? That is why you people with TDS are so pathetic. You all have no vision. It is all whatever Trump is doing is wrong, and that is so lazy and pathetic.

But the mistakes were huge..

1. They haven't come here to explain because they're never wrong. They can't be. Not about Donald Taco. Impossible.

2. Unlike Taco, the Israelis are primarily concerned about the security of their country. This is the foundation, on which they build their relationship with any power in the world. Taco will find out that simple truth soon enough, regardless of any threats from any Dodo.

3. No. He doesn't. Learn. Ever.

[Sirioja]

Sentence I discovered on this morning: God invented wars to make USA learning geography. So true, for Vietnam, Afghanistan and now again defeat in Iran, when Trump wants now to spend 300 billions to help mollahs still there. Really crazy guy.

[Sirioja]

Why do you continue to lie about everything. You aren't fooling anybody just showing your true character. Why would anyone believe you about your life in France when you lie about everything else? Only a fool would believe one of your posts but I guess you think there are other fools here.

For lies, I m not at all on Trump level. Didn't you see how he was so happy to be invited in our Versailles. FR? Nothing like Versailles in USA.

I don't plan to come to live in USA, I m not like retired Americans who come to live in France for our free healthcare and I much prefer to live in so beautiful France with great way of life, much more culture and better foods, prettier women.

You make a excellent point right here my man.

IWorldcup in USA is a mistake for who likes this football, degrading this game,

You are absolutely right about that. The only reason citizens of the Dis United States of America are interested in the WorldCup is it gives them a reason to put on their red white and blue cheerleading outfits and pick up their pom poms.

As for the current administration, midterms are coming. Term ends in 2 years.

RESET!

[Canada]

You really believe what You write here? When so blind, when nothing changed in Iran, nothing, just a failure for USA which just made messe in economics and inflation. Trump wants to stop war he made because of big inflation and mid terms coming, when he lost this war, but hope not for mid terms, when more than 60% Americans are against his politics. Real figures and 4,2% inflation in USA now. You should think: Am I in majority or minority? When You live in US society.

Why do you continue to lie about everything. You aren't fooling anybody just showing your true character. Why would anyone believe you about your life in France when you lie about everything else? Only a fool would believe one of your posts but I guess you think there are other fools here.

[Elvis 2008]

Agree or disagree with Elvis, his posts are often thought provoking.

I don't think Zionist Jews in the USA are the main problem. Rather it's the fundamentalist Christians who believe God has blessed the Jewish people, and so the USA must always take their side. Some believe we're in the end times. Actually the fundamentalists' views are similar to some of the IRGC zealots, who also believe we're in the end times. The difference apparently is that the Iranians believe the Mahdi will soon return with Jesus at his side to destroy the Great Satan (USA) and Israel. And the fundamentalists believe Jesus is returning soon to destroy the Muslims.

Trump got taken in by Netanyahu. I think he realizes that now.

There is more than one problem in the USA and I think it was the Christian base in the Republican party more than any other subgroup that yelled the loudest against the war. Usually the wackiest political groups call for censorship and when the Fundamentalists were at their peak that is what they were doing. That the left has taken on censorship now shows that they are even whackier than the Christian fundamentalists. That the CFS fipped for Trump despite his being thriced married and a yankee to me showed new found flexibility that they had not exhibited before.

American pols have been slobbering over Israel almost since it was founded. It is a problem not the biggest problem our nation has but one of them. The nice thing is this war has shined a huge light o who pols are really working for. I know about that fundamentalist view of Jews as the chosen people and the resurrection of Jesus was a reason fundamentalist Christians signed on to W's second war in Iraq. Like with so many things these days, I first heard about the resurrection from a comedian and did a double take, "What? That is why the war is going to happen? Jesus makes his return?

For all Tooms and the dumb Dems and their bellyaching, there are huge limits on what a president can do. The one huge difference between Trump and the Dems was the Dems never met a war that they did not like, and Trump knows that most wars are losers. If the fundamentlists wanted a war for the resurrection of Jesus, they should have voted for someone other than Trump.

[Elvis 2008]

I know you're feeling him 'cause you like it like this.

He's breaking it down, he's not the same.

I know you're feeling him 'cause you like it like this.

Aah spin. That intrinsic feature that electrons possess which no one really understands. But no electron spins like Elvis spins. After all, who could spin a total defeat and humiliation into a win?! Yep, according to Elvis, our lord and saviour may have actually intended this all because he wanted to reduce American reliance on ME oil. Elvis, your talents are wasted. Please apply for Karoline Levett's job.

I actually agree with a lot of what you wrote aside from your ascribing such great vision to your lord and master. If things weren't bad enough, now we hear talk of a $350 billion payment to Iran as a sweetener for them to the deal. I mean calling this a car crash is being charitable, and yet you still want to spin this into something other than Drumpf being a total idiot.

But the mistakes were huge. He was totally suckered by Netanyahu. He thought Iran would be taken down as easily as Venezuela was. And when I said the performance of the American military was abysmal, that is on Trump as Commander and Chief. He is in charge of the military not the generals. Then there was the endless drivel of how we have won then we are going to bomb Iran back to the stone age and then we have a peace deal and then we do not. For a guy who wrote the Art of the Deal, he should know that you are not going to get a deal if the other side thinks you cannot keep your word. It seemed like the stock market got to the point of just not listening to him any longer.

But yeah to someone like yourself who thinks everything Trump does is a F including how he is as a businessman then yeah, I could see how you could say that I am spinning things. In your screwed up head, even one compliment with regards to Trump is spinning things. What cracks me up is how you TDS fools keep going on about Trump after you lost. There is not one second of self reflection that maybe you are in the wrong. No, in your mind, everyone who voted for Trump is an idiot.

[EihTooms]

I enjoyed reading that, all the way through the EV's. That's an interesting slant on Trump's travails in Iran. I think he made a mistake getting out of Obama's JCPOA. You're right though, in the end he didn't get us into a forever war, like George W Bush and Kennedy / Johnson. The loss of American life was minimal. The cost, $100 billion, was peanuts in a sea of wasteful government spending.

Which war did Kennedy / Johnson get America into?

Trump can't get most numbers right but the only number regarding Eisenhower's Vietnam War is when he repeatedly reminds us it "lasted 19 years." Which for Trump is close enough to call it correct according to all credible historians that we ought to give it to him.

And which also puts the start of Eisenhower's Vietnam War and America's full and total commitment to fighting it by word, deed and Treaty after Eisenhower replaced the retreating French military with our own at several years before Kennedy ran for President.

Have you got a different calender for the start of the Vietnam War, Eisenhower replacing the retreating French military with our own, him signing on to the SEATO military commitment to that War and the election of Kennedy as President that contradicts every credible historian and history book timeline for that War?

If so, please cite the source, provide the link and quote the passage where a credible historian claims Kennedy / Johnson "got us into the Vietnam War."

Oh, BTW, I don't believe the younger, more virulently hardline anti-America Islamic Revolutionary Guard regime in Iran, the country of Lebanon or Netanyahu recognize the current ceasefire so Iran can shore up their military readiness as a "Peace Deal" or anything like the end of Trump's War in Iran.

Do you honestly believe those people are now forgiving and forgetting the thousands of Iranian adults and hundreds of Iranian children Trump mass murdered on a whim based on his lie and for no reason after they had been proven to be in full compliance of a much stricter anti nuke deal than anything Trump will ever negotiate?

What has already been leaked out about Trump's unconditional surrender to Iran, if it is the final word on it and probably on orders to him by the oil industry, is a total disaster for America going forward.

Yes, you're right Tiny, Christian fundamentalists are as big or, arguably, even bigger an issue than zionists. After all, 60% of jews look unfavourably on Israel's actions- the other 40% who do however favour Israel in conjunction with right wingers, neo cons, and general racists, are having serious detrimental influence on American foreign policy and it's only right that it should be questioned and raised. It's very interesting that in the US a lot of those who were deemed far right are now cynical about Israel, whereas the right wing remains highly favourable towards Israel; in the UK and Europe the far right however and the right remain looking very favourably towards Israel, see the marches by far right activist Tommy Robinson where there are many Israel flags.
