Donald Trump has issued his latest threat to Iran and said that if officials fail to make a deal with the United States “the whole country is going to get blown up.”

The president also made threats Sunday morning to target civil infrastructure after it was reported that Iranian forces were refusing to allow ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz this weekend.

      Idk, I think I’m going to scream at voters for this. Primarily leftist voters, though. I still think I can win over the conservative voters and Congress critters by being nice to them.

        I’m still screaming at voters, they made an incredibly stupid decision and are now too immature to admit it.

        You help Trump come to power, you’re a fucking scumbag, not a hero.

          You help Trump come to power

          More than likely no, you didn’t. The election was on rails when Biden decided to drag his moldy ass into a race he couldn’t win, rather than stepping aside after a single term and opening up the primary. Trump came to power because Merrick Garland refused to prosecute him for his many crimes and Silicon Valley swept in to money bomb him.

          Individual voters had no say in any of that. The EC guaranteed they had only the most marginal say in which way their state went. And even the on-the-ground campaigns were dwarfed by the degree of corporate, industrial, and overseas manipulation of public opinion.

          To say any given voter is “responsible” for Trump is like blaming any given butterfly for the next hurricane.
