I’m sure you have some newsmax approved witty comeback in response, but maybe think a minute on what you actually believe here, and the mental gymnastics you’re willing to perform in order to defend your preferred and entirety party endorsed narrative. 🤷‍♂️
Easy. Supply chain disruptions over COVID were due to unnecessary lockdowns that lasted WAY too long under Democratic leadership. Supply chain disruptions right now are caused by stopping a terrorist regime from finishing their nuclear weapon program.

This started with Vietnam. Short memory cuts both ways.

So "our way" was the Korean war? Or do you prefer "our way" under Buchanan? Most Democrats back then did.

Unlike you guys I won’t pretend to know what inner workings of an Iran deal will entail. None of us are privy to top secret or any other information.

to think that this was a bunch of bombing, a shut down of the SoH, and when it’s done the US won’t have gained anything is just typical media narrative type talking points.

listen to Marco Rubio talk from the Press Secretaries podium yesterday. He explained it perfectly. Iran with nuclear is way worse than 60 days of a barely war. When was the last time we even launched a missile or had a meaningful offensive attack?

this “war” lasted a few weeks, and the last few weeks have been spent in a standstill. It was/is barely a war, how much of an offensive attack did Iran perform? We lost 13 soldiers, half of which died in a refueling operation as I understand it. ( still of course never good to lose soldiers).

Remind me how often CNN posted a gas price tracker during the Biden years?

I know during the last year I was paying significantly less and saved much more on gas than under Biden… So in reality, still ahead.

Eggs too. Remember that media talking point after Biden culled millions of chickens? It was Trumps fault… I eat alot of eggs and have saved a bunch. #win

After 14 years of Trump you still get alarmed from his style? Bless your heart.

I’ll never understand dudes (term used lightly) who get offended by locker room type talk. Pretty obvious who has never spent a day with a bunch of dudes on a team.

Which they've been just weeks away from finishing for the last 30 years. And we were told their nuclear program was obliterated last year. If Israel and Iran want to go at it, I'm all for it, but we just played proxy for Israel for no benefit of our own and billions, probably trillions, of dollars spent and left with higher costs again...for everything.
