Donald Trump deflected responsibility for misleading Americans about the length of the Iran war, dismissed low poll ratings as “fake numbers” and refused to rule out the possibility of declaring a state of emergency before the midterms, in a wide-ranging interview with Time magazine.

When confronted with questions about the length of the Iran war, the US president blamed the media for reporting his remarks in which he said the conflict was projected to last “four to five weeks”, in March.

“ … I think the press fed it to them,” Trump told Time when asked whether Americans misunderstood him.

    This is why Hegseth fired 20% of the military command staff. Conservatives need leaders who will carry out violence on non-conservative citizens when the time is right. Looks like that time is upon us.

    It's time to properly finish Sherman's work. Lincoln stopped him early and now we have concentration camps and an infestation of conservatives. We need to actually finish the civil war completely or they will kill us all.

    As long as conservatives continue to live, they will never stop trying to kill the normal people. Never.

    Act locally. Be discrete. Do not humanize an enemy that cannot humanize you.

    What? Don't kill him! That's evil. Just cripple him to the point he cannot do anything for himself, and has to be cared for by people whose lives he destroyed. Maybe have him linger on for another decade or so, and forfeit his govt benefits. And give him a persistent itch.

    What's the point in making him a cripple? he already wears a diaper, doesn't know how to drive, has never ridden a bike in his life, doesn't exercise, doesn't walk while cheating at golf, and probably already got himself some special presidential license plates that let his limo driver park across several handicap spots. his quality of life would probably improve as a crippled martyr. Think about the endorsement deals he could get as a cripple. What company? Depends.

    he should be getting death bed reminders that the world is going to take his name off everything he graffito tagged and forget about him. Instead of destroying the man we need to start destroying his legacy before he loses the remaining marble. Right now if you shook his head it would sound like a can of orange spray paint. One lonely marble bouncing around. We need to make sure that marble knows that the celebrations of his death will greatly outweigh any celebrations of his life.

    I don't wish death upon evil people, but years of torment, indignation, and a slow miserable death that they're perfectly aware is happening to them...seems appropriate. Hopefully they're fully conscious when someone takes pity on them and pulls the plug but they're not capable of letting anyone know it's not what they want and they suffer terribly as the life slowly ebbs from their body. A poetic and sadistic, end to a deserving ghoul.

    A fast death is not what they deserve.

    A bunch of red states already did...

    They're cutting restrictions on red diesel and letting trucks run overloaded to make less trips.

    The red diesel is the big one tho, we need that shit to harvest crops here in a little bit, allowing it on road is going to burn thru the reserves that already wasn't big enough.

    trump is gambling on trying to get UK or other "allies" to give us their reserves, but they need that shit themselves, because of the war trump started.

    It's going to get much worse before midterms too. Which is why using reserves now is so stupid. Probably 2-3 weeks before election Iran is going to really tighten the screws and make gas prices skyrocket. I really could see them shutting off the whole tap to influence midterms against trump.

    Maybe even flat out saying "if republicans win this won't stop". And with the Houthis controlling one major straight, they can hold it for literal decades

    Red diesel is not some fancy fuel, it's literally just diesel with red die in it.

    Buddy ...

    It's different because it's tax free and for agriculture....

    We need that for agriculture, if we use it now what the fuck are we going to harvest crops with?

    I understand you couldn't think of that yourself...

    But why the fuck wouldn't you ask me what you weren't able to get from the context of my comment?

    Edit:

    Someone else tried explaining this, and you just could grasp it...

    And most of your post history is you arguing with anyone who ever tries to help you understand anything.

    You're just gonna have to stay wrong bro, eventually you'll need a new account as well, because I'd bet a shit ton of other people have blocked you as well

    No. It isn't. You just need diesel. If there's not enough red diesel, you just get regular diesel and put red die in it.

    ok, but then that has extra tax attached (assuming, as I'm not in the US, that is like the UK where red diesel doesn't have all the road tax attached.) Here in NZ it is all 'white' diesel and Road User Tax is separate

    He can’t do anything.

    There’s not enough military personnel to lock down election sites, the whole thing is too distributed, states conduct elections, and everyone who is mad is so mad they will be voting.

    Furthermore any boots he deploys to enforce some kind of emergency are going to juice turnout against him so hard I almost hope he tries this shit. It won’t end well for him.

    Also logistics, it takes a lot of food, fuel, and general supplies to move a large number of people about let alone entire presumably battalions of soldiers to random ass locations. Even if they just deployed them on voting day proper there's a solid chance they wouldn't even get to any locations until voting is over especially if it's randomly sprung on the soldiers, and if they do it for early voting and mail in multiply the fuckfest with long-term deployment issues especially since I could see some areas being overwhelmed with food and gas running out or low not even getting into general service denial.

    Conservatives don't give a teeny, tiny chicken fried fuck about feeding or caring for troops. Not one bit.

    You're not wrong but not feeding your troops is a great way to have "communication issues" or have them sit on their asses and not listen to you also fragging. Also the fuel thing should not be underestimated, I could easily see a convoy being stranded somewhere random cause they ran out of diesel.

    Trump brushed aside the likelihood of Democrats winning, telling Time magazine that, so long as he campaigns with candidates, Republicans could perform well.

    Trump might not trust the polls but I bet he trusts polymarket, and it's currently showing 63% chance of Democrats taking the Senate and 93% of Dems taking the House.

    He's the new W, but far more petty and vindictive than W or any of his accomplices ever were.

    He's an albatross - he has the worst favorability ratings of any President, and that includes W. The cons could barely even talk about Bush once his Eight Year Debacle was up...

    They'd all drop him like a hot rock if he didn't command so much influence (money) still.

    Nah. Conservatives hold both chambers of congress. They can fix this shit any time they want. They will never, ever do that because they approve of it all. Conservatives are quiet not because they disapprove, but because they know the normal people are unhappy about it. They will NEVER stop on their own. Never.

    Trump is conservatism incarnate. He is the perfect reflection of ALL conservatives, even the ones who are embarassed by their own reflection.

    Conservatives and their leaders need to be dealt with as one big infestation. We need a permanent cure or the infestation will just get worse.

    100% this. The people using excuses to vote for donnie boiled down to: "because what other choice did they have? The Democrats are so radically liberal!" The people using excuses to righteously sit out or furiously vote for some bullshit third party were using single-issue nonsense like gEnOcIdEjOe, etc.

    When donnie was clearly going to be far worse on any single-issue thing you could point at, plus target nearly all Americans and destroy American institutions in the process, as well.

    Amazing how these losers will say something straight out many times, then say they never said it and blame it on "the media" that people say they heard that. If they're confronted with a video of them saying it, they'll usually explain it away or deflect. One problem with this particular troglodyte is he has people like Natalie Harp enthusiastically reinforcing and feeding his delusions.

    It someone can figure out a way to do it, then he'll declare it. It's not a question of whether so much as how.
