    Maybe so, but once the first dirty bomb that Iran pooped out, ended up going off in Israel the world would be galvanized and then we could address Iran together. if this is such an important issue, let some other established nation step in and intervene.

    Iran was never going to bomb Israel with a dirty bomb. This is nothing other than propaganda. Pakistan has one of the largest nuclear arsenals with 5th generation stealth bombers and nobody is afraid of them dropping a nuke on Israel. Pakistan doesn't even recognize Israel as a nation.

    yes i voted for Trump and I can articulate why beyond “lesser of two evils”. No, I do not like Trump at all or that vast majority of Republicans.

    im just tired of being kind to people who continue to blindly support team politics. Its racist and sexist to vote an incompetent moron just because she was a black/indian woman. You guys have let the DSA hijack the democrat party as tea party/MAGA destroyed the Republican party. Stop supporting the DSA

    Tired of being kind to people sounds like time for a D&D vacation. If it's stressing you out that much.

    The person you called a r****d, in the exact post you quoted, said they weren't even American... and your justification for acting so gross is being frustrated over blind support for team politics... but they didn't even mention the Dems or Harris in their post!

    You are literally tripping over your own dick to accuse that person of being - "racist and sexist to vote an incompetent moron just because she was a black/indian woman." and then you mention ... socialist taking over the Dem party, like I highly doubt this person from New Zealand is an active supporter of dem socialist for America?

    Do you not see how unhinged all of this is?

    yes, our system is very broke. The average American (which this forum doesnt represent) has checked out of politics and has let the fringe Left and fringe right take over. Obama was our last reasonable candidate and its been downhill from there.

    this is a basketball forum with diehard fans who believe this team has a real chance of success, despite havung a loser owner who is in it for the miney. I wouldnt expect anyone here to have rational political views

    I still dont understand how folks can rationalized picking trump over harris is the better of two evil even after a year into his presidency.

    Economy sucks, folks are losing their jobs, gas prices is expensive as sht, tariffs r extra taxes causing everything else to b expensive as sht. Country is becoming even more Partisian with the gerrymandering battle. Widespread corruption and fraud being openly done by the administration. Epstiein file being covered up. Fighting a stupid and unnecessary war which we are not winning. Social programs cut, doge doing jack sht and the list goes on.


    Just doubling down on being stupid and ignorant. I dont even like Harris but there's no fking way she could have been worse than trump.
    Running up the deficit and yet everything seems to b more shttier.

    1) I do not know what that poster being a foreigner has to do with this conversation. They asked why anyone would vote for Trump, so I can only conclude...
    2) The poster is unaware of just how awful Kamala Harris was and how BOTH political parties have raced to the bottom. Its abundantly clear you are unaware of this phenomenon. Both parties offered up two of the worst candidates in decades and YOU are still confused why either would win. So yes, bringing up the pathetic state of the DNC is completely appropriate, especially considering how Democrats still insist they are the party of moral authority.
    3) I did not state socialist have taken over the Democrat party. I stated the DSA has co-oped the party. The DSA are Marxist, borderline tyrannical
    4) My antics is a result of the left letting people like Astros123 run rampantly through the forums. When someone of opposing views of yours does it, it needs to be called out and corrected. When its aligned with yours, its perfectly acceptable. Again, the party of moral authority - laughable.

    To top that off he put a Vet who never lead anything bigger than a platoon in the military in charge of the Department of Defense. As if that wasn't bad enough, his history running two veterans groups is full of financial mismanagement, and reckless spending that depleted all the donations they took in. All those drunken nights, strip bars, rape and sexual assault accusations. What a horrible pick for the Department of Defense.

    His own mother called him “an abuser of women” who “belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego.”

    Imagine Pete getting 1.5 trillion, in Pentagon spending, that over the next ten years it could add nearly $7 trillion to the already spiraling U.S. national debt, without justification for all the allocation he requests. All while families are in need of affordable healthcare. Warmongering, taking over countries, making Trump battleships, ballrooms with bunkers, and a slush fund to do it, with Kegseth in charge is ridiculous.

    The guy went on a $93 billion spending spree last year, on crap like fruit baskets, lobster, crap, furniture, a Steinway & Sons grand piano, iPads, Alaskan king crab and lobster tail, ice cream machines, and doughnuts.

    Imagine what he'd do with a 1.5 trillion dollar slush fund at his disposal when it came to end of the fiscal year "spend it or lose it" funding, all while Americans struggle paying for healthcare, bills, and getting by.

    When he led Vets for Economic Freedom Trust, operating as Concerned Veterans for America, during three of the five years of his leadership, the organization spent more money than it raised from donations and other means.

    He did no better running his second Veterans group. Speaking on Hegseth running Veterans for Freedom Margaret Hoover, a former adviser to Vets for Freedom, said that Hegseth had managed the organization "very poorly." Hoover expressed doubt about his ability to run the sprawling Defense Department when he had struggled with a staff of less than 10 people, and a budget of under $10 million.

    "I don't know how he's going to run an organization with an $857 billion budget, and 3 million individuals, based on what I saw in those years," she said.

    Just boggles the mind that Trump will continue to fk over veterans, farmers and union workers and a majority would still vote for him and the GOP without fail.

    Hegseth is driving huge gains in recruitment and morale amongst the troops. America is accomplishing military objectives all over the world. Trump is rebuilding the equipment and brand of the US military. Sorry you are missing it because emotions are clouding your judgement. What we are witnessing is a level of American strength that hasn't existed in many decades. Trump is a once in a lifetime LEADER.


    GOOD DAY

    I don't know why either. He doesn't have a damn thing in common with them, and he screws them over by his policies. He lies to them over and over, throws in a little bailout money or more BS promises, then screws them over again. Don't they realize he's on the side of the ones f*cking them over for much bigger profits?

    Trump grew up on a silver spoon, dodged the draft, and comes from a family with a history of screwing over workers. He has probably never had a callous in his life from physical work. I doubt he's ever even taken out the trash, swept a patio, mowed a yard, or picked up a hammer, saw, or screwdriver to repair anything in his life. Can you picture him changing the oil, fixing a flat, or inflating the tires on a car? Haha
