Schwags"welcome back" perhaps wrong choice of words for this topic.
HypeBeastWelcome back number 375
BiffbarfShit's wack. Really thought tdog billionaire wouldn't start shit.
ParkingLotPissI can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but I hope so.
Nobody should be surprised. Trump is a liar, and shocker, he lied
BiffbarfHe did good his first term in that regard. You cannot deny that. But yeah rub my nose in it I'm sure that will make your day lol

ParkingLotPissWhen it comes to staying out of international conflicts, he did well. But when it comes to honesty and serving the people with integrity, he failed completely.
I honestly have a hard time feeling sympathy for people who backed him and are only now starting to regret it. Yeah, we need to be united to fix the mess, but let’s not pretend this just happened. You helped make it happen. People screamed from the beginning that Trump was unfit to lead, he was openly cruel, dishonest, and self-serving, and you either didn’t listen or didn’t care. And now that things are going to shit (which is typically what happens when people who only care about their own interests gain power), you’re surprised?
It was always obvious. You just chose to ignore it.
So yes, I’m going to “rub your nose in it,” but know that it doesn’t make my day better, it just makes me more frustrated that I even have to. It’s almost like your actions have consequences.

BiffbarfBlah blah blah smd
ParkingLotPissWhat an obnoxious attitude.
Take some accountability. Own your stupid decision, admit you were conned.
Being too stubborn to admit you were wrong is never a good look, especially when it comes to things of this magnitude.
Be better.
BiffbarfNah suck my dick. Don't pretend kamala would've been some princess in chief
ParkingLotPissI was absolutely not stoked about Kamala, she was a terrible pick.
But I think she would have handled this better. Either way it doesn’t do us much good to sit around thinking about what someone else might have done. The fact is Trump is the one in office.
Being rude to me won’t change your bad decision. Admit you made a mistake instead of throwing a fit like a spoiled child.
This is pathetic behavior.
Granby_killdozerIran wasn't stockpiling 60% enriched uranium for peaceful purposes.
Christian_BaleYeah maybe they do want nukes but who gives a shit, if north korea hasn't used their nukes then I doubt Iran ever will. Keep in mind Israel has nukes (thanks to the nuclear material they stole from their "closest ally") but won't admit they have them, sign any treaties etc and has threatened to use them if their existence is ever threatened. But people don't like to talk about that lol. Also Iran just got bombed in the name of peace so I think they'd be stupid not to try to acquire nukes so Israel and US will stop fucking with them.

HypeBeastOK I'm genuinely curious. Back when Russia invaded Ukraine, the war and international condemnation were major driving factors in the inflation of gas prices. Magats blamed Biden because derrr Biden bad. Well now we have a president and Israel (with our backing and support) whose direct actions will result in a rise in prices. Anyone wanna bet that people won't blame Trump, despite his actions directly leading to the outcome?
Personally this doesn't impact me significantly but I know many of you on here certainly felt the heat, @Biffbarf in particular.
SlushSeasonBuddy what the fuck are you talking about? This is not the same as North Korea at all
North Korea hasn't been in a hot war in decades. Iran launched the two largest ballistic missile attacks in human history against Israel last year. Iran has been slowly pushing the boundaries and reducing its breakout period for the past 10 years without ever rushing for the bomb because they knew that if they were caught, exactly this would happen.
Well, they pushed the bounds too hard and now it's happening.
I don't like Israel for a wide variety of reasons, but they're not trying to eradicate the iranian population. Meanwhile Iran's stated goal is to do exactly that to Israel
Granby_killdozerShipping through the red sea has been impacted by Iran since the Biden administation. We'll probably see an increase in attacks from the houthis but I mean they were already doing that... The gulf states hate Iran and they love to sell us oil, I doubt we'll see sanctions from them. So aside from from the possibility of shipments to asia being more expensive, I don't really see how this will affect the prices of goods here.
HypeBeastI'm referring to oil only. Don't worry, tariffs will take care of the rest of global consumer goods price inflation without Iran. Geopolitical unrest is just more fuel to the dumpster fire we were already in. Perhaps do a little reading to validate your thoughts before posting. It will save you the embarrassment.

Christian_BaleYou are repeating the same shit that politicians are saying, the same politicians who have been consistently exposed lying about this shit for my entire lifetime. But that's besides the point because what I'm saying is common sense since Iran is not going a commit suicide by using nukes, which they don't even have yet. Iran's stated goal is to wipe out all Israelis? That's news to me. They voted in favor of a two state solution at the UN in 2023. Yeah of course they hate Israel, the countries both want to destabilize/destroy each others regimes and both have valid reasons to want to do so. I don't think I'm out of pocket here. Sounds like you've been taking some very biased sources in the media and government at their word.
SteezyYeeterthis attitude is why politics is so divided.
why change your mind? why admit you were wrong? they're still going to hate you for it. shitty ass behavior.
and the fact that you're also genuinely upset that people are changing their minds - like huh?? are you messed up in the head or something? why would you ever be upset that people are turning against trump? you're so hateful it's crazy.
your last little paragraph there is just one of the straight up lowest IQ things I have read all day. what an emotional bitch you are lol

SteezyYeeterhe did admit it, and then you started shitting on him for it? and then when he disengages from a clearly bad faith conversation, you say he's obnoxious?
YOU ARE AN UNINTELLIGENT PERSON!

FakeKalmarI don't blame Iran for wanting nukes but that just can't happen. It's an unstable nation in an unstable region. I do think it's better option trying to stop it instead of allowing the chances of nuclear armageddon to increase.
"If North Korea hasn't used their nukes then I doubt Iran ever will." Where is the logic in that? Rationality is not where you want to base your trust in. That is a big mistake.
At this point involment of the US was probably not the right choice. Israel most likely could and should have done the strikes on their own.
theabortionatorAll of this during pride month.
Willing to look past who you voted for. But if you support this? Fuck you! Legit. Idk, never been less "proud to be an american".
theabortionatorIt's almost like the US and CIA fucked around thwrw. Oh wait they friggin did. Not shitting on any service members but the US and the CIA did more to destabilize the world than probably any other power.
We fuck with assassinating democratically elected leaders, funding coups, doing some mellow war crimes, to get people to play ball. And kill you if you dont.
That's literally recorded history. So believe whatever but yeah. We designed the enemy we now fight..
SlushSeasonUse some logic here and remove your emotions surrounding Israel. Since you brought up North Korea, consider instead that this is 2005 in the korean peninsula while North Korea was developing it's first nuclear weapon.
If North Korea had launched hundreds of ballistic missiles into Seoul, would the RoK not have justification to airstrike their missile factories and their nuclear sites? Would you have objected to us knocking out NK nuclear sites if we were the only ones with the required ordnance?
Granby_killdozerYou know they would hang you for your sexual orientation in Iran right? I understand that it’s hypocritical of us to tell them that they can’t have nukes but think hard about who you’re defending when you make comments online in the coming days.
VTshredder69HOW DARE WE BOMB A COUNTRY THAT SHOUTS DEATH TO AMERICA!!!
VTshredder69I was promised reduction of national debt and no new wars
VTshredder69HOW DARE WE BOMB A COUNTRY THAT SHOUTS DEATH TO AMERICA!!!
TOAST.Bombing them will surely make them accept gay people.
On a broader note it doesn't seem like most citizens in countries hostile to the US do not share the same sentiment. Most people just want to live their lives and provide for their families. Unfortunately you have nutjobs always fucking things up. I've seen numerous videos of people traveling through Iran without any issues, I'm certainly not lining up to go there, but it seems like our society likes to paint people in less fortunate countries as terrible people all the time. Meanwhile I know quite a few people that have gone to countries with strong travel advisories and they come back with only good things to say about the local people and that as long as you don't do stupid shit and listen to locals when they tell you to avoid an area you will most likely be fine. I've seen a few travel blogs of people cycling thru Iran over the years, all turned out fine.
That being said, I do think a lot of the culture in the middle east in regards to women and LGBT people is wack, but bombing them isn't going to change that and will just keep their own cultures from progressing. Quite a few pro women rights protests in Iran the past few years if I remember correctly, those certainly won't be happening any time soon now
Farmville420The duality of a fairfield county resident, which is fitting considering the socioeconomic inequality between Bridgeport and the entire rest of the county is the largest in the United States i believe? (Could be old data)
VTshredder69Lol. I posted something far too serious so i had to get my troll back on.
In all seriousness i'm not happy with what's going on which is why you haven't heard from me in here lately. I'll let the braintrust continue without interruption.
