American Politics

[SubCmdr]

Well said. USA is obviously winning the war and Iran is in dire straits.

Congress, which holds the constitutional power to declare war, has not passed a formal declaration or an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) for the current conflict. This is consistent with USA History, as the last formal declaration of war was during World War II in 1941. Once again I suggest to a uneducated or uninformed individual to read The Constitution of the United States of America.

I can't believe how many posters on this site are cheering for Iran in this war and are Anti American just because Trump is president.

I cannot believe how many posters on this site have not read The Constitution of the United States of America. It's not a war (reference is made to the paragraph written above. The undeclared military action has not been a success.

These posters are either not American or traitors.

I do not support the war. My opinion is allowed because I was born with the right to speak my opinions. This right is contained in the The Constitution of the United States of America. Those who have read the document and understand it can find my right in the part called The First Amendment.

Traitor: One who violates his allegiance and betrays his country; one guilty of treason; one who, in breach of trust, delivers his country to an enemy, or yields up any fort or place intrusted to his defense, or surrenders an army or body of troops to the enemy, unless when vanquished; also, one who takes arms and levies war against his country; or one who aids an enemy in conquering his country..

I an mont surprised at the number of individual who do not know the basic definitions of the English language. The should learn what the words they are writing mean before making posts that contain statements that simply do not make any sense.

The war is going great, Iran is losing, Tehran's mayor is saying that the country is eroding, the airfares are low, the US sailors are in Pattaya, the oil is flowing through the strait of Hormusz, except for the Iranian oil, the Iranian economy is crumbling and this according to CNN.

It's pretty hilarious that CNN is too right-wing for you and the other TDS patients.

I will pray for you and hope that you one day will be able to see the truth and get rid of the TDS that is haunting you.

Unlike Obama our current great President Trump doesn't ask the Iranian regime for permission, under President Trump the US is a free and sovereign country! Not the servant of the Iranian regime like Obama was!

Half of the Trump Administration doesn't know if it is a war or not. That includes Trump himself. You know, it's merely "an excursion" that is rapidly depleting the USA armament supplies.

Trump has not only revealed himself to be such a lousy negotiator that he can't even negotiate a trade deal with Canada, the only member country of the G7 that has a free trade deal with every other member country of the G7, but Trump's Energy Secretary is now admitting Trump is such a lousy negotiator that he will probably never be able to negotiate as good an anti-nuke deal with Iran as Obama negotiated and which Trump himself twice confirmed was working before he tore it up, defunded and removed the inspectors, leaving Iran free to do whatever it damn well pleased unmonitored for the next several years.

U.S. Energy Secretary Wright says Iran nuclear deal may never happen

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/06/iran...ndroidappshare

U..S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the Trump administration may never reach a deal to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Wrights comments suggest the administration may pursue its goal of preventing an Iranian nuclear weapon without reaching a negotiated nuclear agreement.

Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned that future attacks on Iran would receive a faster, heavier, and more painful response.
..........
"There may not be a nuclear agreement. It may be simply destroying their capabilities to do it, Wright said on ABC News This Week. An agreement may await the next administration in Iran. We simply dont know that.

But but but I thought Trump already "obliterated" Iran's ability to do that? Or was that a different war? Maybe that was the War Between "Aberbijian" and Albania that Trump is so proud of ending.

If what Wright has admitted to sounds an awful lot like preparation for another Repub "Boots-on-the-Ground Forever War in the Middle East" based on a Repub Lie with thousands, perhaps tens of thousands USA Military deaths, thousands more Iranian civilian deaths that will very likely once again end with an unconditional USA surrender handed to a subsequent Dem to do all the dirty work to pull us out of it, you are showing clear signs of fluency in translating Do Nothing, Know Nothing Repub-speak.

Obama lost all dignity, not only his own, but also the dignity of America by letting Iran aligned Narco terrorists freely commit crimes and even chose their side over the American people and US law enforcement. It's embarrassing, Obama took orders by Iran. It made not only himself and his administration the lapdog of Iran, but also the US and the American people! Unbelievable shameful and embarrassing!

It's embarrassing to see how you're unable to accept the facts, unlike you I have dignity. I'd rather die fighting to live free than to live on my knees.

Iran is losing this war, the oil is flowing through the Strait of Hormuz even CNN is recognizing that. I know that this war is going great as the Iranian economy is crumbling meanwhile I can still take cheap flights because the price of jet fuel is still so low.

President Trump is bringing glory and joy, meanwhile you bring lies and the Trump derangement syndrome and Obama brought shame and humiliation by surrendering to the Iranian regime! Where's your dignity? Why are you so set on being subjugated by the Iranian regime? It's embarrassing!.

It is unbelievable that TDS has brainwashed so many people. The lies about Trump and America here are horrible.

[Canada]

Obama surrendered, it was embarrassing and shameful. He made USA look weak and increased the Iranian regimes' power over Iran and the broader Middle Eastern region.

It's partially because of Obama's failed Iran deal that Iran has been able to build so many missiles. President Trump is the first President to take so something instead of letting the Iran snowball, with Obama being main culprit.

What se today is the Iranian regime being weaker and weaker and the Iranian economy is crumbling.

President Trump is doing great fixing the problems created by previous administrations and specifically Obama.

You are totally correct. Obama financed Iran terrorism and made it financially possible for Iran to stockpile missiles and develop their nuclear. Trump is the only president in the last 40 years to make a stand against Iran worldwide terrorism. The world is going to be a lot safer once Iran has been defeated. Already safer now.

Trump is bringing nothing shame to America. Is there any other country besides those commies in North Korea and Russia that Trump can get along with. Ronald Reagan must be spinning in his grave. But, when have Trump nut-huggers spewing nonsense that's what we get. When Obama was president was the Straight Of Hormuz open? Only someone feeble minded like Trump and his nut-huggers can get us locked into war and they are running out of weapons? How does that make any sense? Would you take a cross country trip to Disneyland with 20 bucks in your pocket and half a tank of gas and believe that you'll arrive at your destination?

I am also tired of off this TDS bullshit. If Trump can't handle people challenging him then he pack his orange make up and move back Mar-a 'Lago. The Iranians have him by the nuts (Trump nut-huggers are envious) and we get stuck with soaring gas prices and Navy that is totally burned out. They won't even let these guys get some pussy in Thailand. What Commander in Chief has ever told sailors they can't chase women? I must be losing my mind.

Since Alaska, when they wish for business with him, Trump and his gang like so often and so much to taste Putin cum in their mouth, making USA behaving just like porn actress, when Putin can t stop war now. Only making Russia broke can stop him and then he will be dead.

Not only has Trump pardoned some of the greatest convicted drug kingpin in the world but he is so busy keeping America safe from nail salon technicians, farm workers and busboys, his DOJ simply has no time for big-time illegal drug crimes in America anymore.

Federal drug prosecutions fall to lowest level in decades as Trump shifts focus to deportations

https://www.reuters.com/legal/govern...us-2025-09-29/

Federal drug prosecutions drop 10% in 2025 as agents focus on immigration.

Number of new cases being filed is lowest in decades, according to Reuters analysis.

High-priority drug investigations have stalled, officials say.

The lowest level in decades?

I forget, how many "decades" ago was the Obama and Biden presidencies? Surely, MAGAs wouldn't be stupid enough to bring up actual serious crime prosecutions under Trump vs those guys unless Trump's record far surpassed theirs, right?

Lolol. Yep. They are that stupid and much, much more. Hell, if they're stupid enough to bring up jobs creation, wage gains, crime rates, deficit spending, economic, national security, foreign policy and war policy results for Trump vs ANY other president much less Obama and Biden, they're stupid enough to bring up anything.

Oh, don't stop now, MAGAs. You're on a roll!

The first sentence from your link:

Clearly that was by far the smarter and better goal.

Trump twice confirmed that Iran was in full compliance with that Iran deal that Obama and Kerry struck. Right before he tore it up, defunded and removed the inspectors, allowing Iran to do anything it damn well pleased unmonitored for the next several years.

Now he has plunged America into another Repub Forever War with Iran based on his lie and begging Iran to please, please, pretty please agree in writing to the same terms Obama and Kerry had already successfully gotten Iran to agree to without a stupid, counterproductive Repub Forever War.

Obama surrendered, it was embarrassing and shameful. He made USA look weak and increased the Iranian regimes' power over Iran and the broader Middle Eastern region.

Thanks to Trump and that worthless defense secretary we are losing the war with Iran. How does this make Trump better than Obama?

Obama lost all dignity, not only his own, but also the dignity of America by letting Iran aligned Narco terrorists freely commit crimes and even chose their side over the American people and US law enforcement. It's embarrassing, Obama took orders by Iran. It made not only himself and his administration the lapdog of Iran, but also the US and the American people! Unbelievable shameful and embarrassing!

Unlike you I'm not about taking political sides, I'm interested in the bigger picture. I have shown that by criticizing Trump on various issues. You're a child, you can't admit the truth, you're only interested in spreading hate against President Trump!

This is by the way, exactly why Trump won the presidential election two times and someone like Trump will win it again, you Trump Derangement Syndrome people are not able to put America first.

Biden awarded terrorists and Obama let narco terrorists freely finance terrorism and destroy the American society with drugs because he was so weak when it came to foreign policy and incredibly afraid of Iran.

It's amazing how much better President Trump is when it comes to Hezbollah, Iran and foreign policy.

Notice how I'm talking about foreign policy.

The first sentence from your link:

The Obama administration railroaded a U.S. effort to dismantle a Hezbollah drug-trafficking scheme since it conflicted with aspirations to strike a nuclear deal with Iran, according to a Politico report by Josh Meyer.

Clearly that was by far the smarter and better goal.

Trump twice confirmed that Iran was in full compliance with that Iran deal that Obama and Kerry struck. Right before he tore it up, defunded and removed the inspectors, allowing Iran to do anything it damn well pleased unmonitored for the next several years.

And you are actually bringing up the subject of drugs in America re Trump? Lolol.

Trump pardons drug kingpins even as he escalates U.S. drug war rhetoric

If you think a never-elected lady doing that is funny, you must have thought this early warning of disaster to come was hilarious:
