We didn’t start WWII. Stupid argument.

if they have not bombed you in 47 years, I might think there is a precedent there. like they would be nuked right back. or something. what do I know?

Carlos Gimenez took history for jocks. How dumb can a person be and get elected to Congress. - the answer thanks to Mitch McConnell is brain dead.

Say it? Yes, probably. Understand why it's important? That's much less likely.

So is he saying resistance to the war was over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Any dignified transfer that trump attends is no longer dignified

He missed history class, right? Stay in school, kids.

Well, he is partly correct. Wasn’t 85% by any stretch but definitely took Pearl Harbor to move the needle. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut.

He's not even a senator. He's an idiot, one of the worst Republicans in Congress.

And what resource did the American expansion choke off from Japan?

And it was also about oil.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s not familiar with Pearl Harbor.

It’s like they wake up in the morning and come up with 5 new and increasingly ridiculous false equivalencies every day: wake up, brush teeth, read passages from Slave Bible, pray to/for Trump, entires is false equivalency journal, TV interviews.

Narrator: The GOP has the best Intel…

WE ATTACKED IRAN not the other way around. jfc these guys are idiots.

These clowns will just pull anything out of their ass and sling it out there

Many of that 85% were America First fascists (e.g. Lindbergh).

They'd much rather bomb schools in Iran than give us anything at all.

Oh yeah, totally the same thing. Apples to apples 🙄

Two words: Red ... Herring. Republican voters are too stupid to understand the logical problem with Gimenez's factoid.

Just remember these Republicans aren’t that stupid. They just think you are.

Quit putting these people in front of a camera.

I wonder why?

This 'stopping Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon' crap is going to become a losing talking point once this agreement becomes more publicly known. It's a political blunder on Trump's part to make this deal & announce it BEFORE the mid-terms, but I'm glad he did. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

From 🇪🇺 The only two countries treathening to invade us is 🇺🇸 and 🇷🇺

This is a day that will live in infamy . . . .

Man, I feel like SOMETHING happened that changed Americans’ view of the war…

Pearl Harbor???

Gimenez soiling his depends so worried the Iranian Kido Butai is lurking somewhere off the coast of Miami

Someone's feeding them facts like that. Congressional GOPs are not smart enough to know what went on prior to WW2, and too lazy to find out.

Hey Gimenez: When they run out of people to hate, they will come after you & yours. He wants to protect his children/grandchildren? He needs to check what's bubbling in Nicaragua, El Salvador, Russia, Argentina, and Saudi Arabia. The republicans got us into this war for 1 reason and it ain't nukes

This is why Lutnick didn't go into his office in the twin towers on 9/11

Like is it not glaringly obvious how different the context is? In this case, we would be the nazis committing unprovoked attacks on a sovereign nation. The reason ppl weren't in favor of entering wwii was bc it was "over there" and it wasn't prevalent how bad it was yet. With Iran we're "over there"

Hey, it worked with Iraq. I'm so old, that I remember the project for a new American century. Here's a reminder:

Carlos says you're all gonna come around once the US is attacked by Iran.

Trump’s gop would have been making side deals with Hitler. Sure, take Poland, heck, take all of Europe. Just leave Greenland and South America for me.

Good point. I has forgotten about Iran bombing Pearl Harbor.

“Prior” and what exactly happened on the day he mentioned to change their minds?

I wonder what changed it! Can anyone answer or push back on that?

...well... yeah, I'm very sure that before Pearl Harbor, Americans wanted no part of WWII. I don't think that's the mic drop moment his aides told him it would be.

So Trump/Israel gonna do the 2026 version of Pearl Harbor? Is this what he is saying

I think his point is that after a few years and a few trillion dollars later, Americans will learn to love the Iranian Excursion.

We are 5 months in, and it has less support than it had on day one. And support was tepid even then.

LOL OK. Go with that. Watch what happens.

tone deaf mfker

Yes, it's true. America has always been filled with racist assholes. What's his point?

This won’t occur, Lumpy doesnt remember how to be dignified!

Gimenez is as cynical as he is stupid.

The president is a liar

These people are delulu.

WTF ????

Agree 100%.

Intel according to whom? I'll accept it if it's from a reliable source, not USA or Israel.

'Then it all changes ' - ahh, that'll be Pearl Harbour

Just like WWII, except the US did a sneak attack on Toyko, for no reason, no goal, really, just to get Roosevelt his jollies.

"We think if we stay in this war long enough, Iran will attack our homeland and then we can get people to support us." Heck of a plan, and kind of helps make it more clear why they disbanded a lot of the counterintelligence that was monitoring threats from Iran.

Prior to December 1941, all white conservatives in America were opposed to entering the war because they were (as they are today) pro-fascist and big fans of Hitler and the Nazis. All that changed after the attack on Pearl Harbor, when those white conservatives got excited about killing "Japs".

Is this moron comparing WW2 to the war in Iran? Many of the groups opposed to entering WW2 were supported by fascist groups and far-right groups. See Steven J. Ross's books, 'Hitler in Los Angeles,' and 'The Secret War Against Hate.' Read a fucking book you idiot.

WHAT A CLOWN

🤔

85% of people weren't in favour of entering a war that hadn't yet begun?

Magats are uniformly moronic and ugly. It's like a massive deformity set in on a third of American voters. Perhaps we should pity them for their pathetic idiocy.

Let's get back to reality. We started the war with Iran. Before WWII, the United States was a neutral country. You cannot make a valid comparison and try to justify action on a false premise!

Did I miss when Iran bombed Pearl Harbor?

Terrorist attacks may be coming back en force. When one can't win a conventional war - some will consider unconvential alternatives. That's what 9-11 taught me.

TRY WAR KID, YOU'LL GET USED TO IT

cool now do Vietnam

So..... Affordable healthcare, college, housing and food are not ways to "protect grandchildren?" 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤪🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

WWII was a direct threat to America asshole! Pearl Harbor, hello???? 🙄

We were attacked.

So, they see a WWII link between Iran and the bombing of Pearl Harbor (where Iran = the Japanese) but see NO similarity between Trump/ICE/MAGA and Hitler/Gestapo/Nazis.

So, if for example a country on the other side of the world launched an attack with no warning, assassinating our leaders and killing hundreds of civilians, including school kids? Yeah, I guess I would support a war against such aggression.

These clowns are all psychopaths.

To complete that analogy there would have to be a Pearl Harbor type of event to change public opinion-or at least an explanation as to why this is in our best interest. This regime’s arrogance was always going to be their undoing. To compare to WW2 is stupid. Btw,we aren’t the good guys here.

“And then it all changed in one day” That “one day” was Pearl Harbor. There was no galvanizing attack on the US from Iran drawing us into war. We attacked them.

The self-delusion here puts this into a next-level category of gaslighting.

America is the dumbest country to ever exist.

Also, show all of hitlers speeches and compare them to what Trump says, they are identical.

“Why did the USA go to war with Nazi Germany? Anybody? Anybody?”

Germany and Japan declared war on the US. Changes your outlook when you become the target.

Republican congresscritters are so stupid.

This fakeminority is a literally idiot. We have to figure out why gopd parrot the same dumb assery all the time, they are not credible

Funny how these asswipes never want to engage in hypotheticals when pressed with a difficult position, but can always imagine the most ridiculous hypotheticals to defend our hair hare brained predator, er, president.

🤡

JFC

Sir, we’re five months into this war and people still hate it.

Yes, those two situations are identical, perfect analogy sir.

Also at that time in the U.S. there was an organized and influential Nazi Party. They wanted the U.S. to join the war on Germany's side.

Have Rep. Carlos Gimmenz's children enlisted yet? #TrumpIranFiasco

Pearl Harbour happened when we were attacked by Japan while negotiations were on going, which was considered a cowardly criminal act. When was the last time a nation was attacked while negotiations were ongoing? Hint, it involved a superpower and Israel and killed most of the heads of government.

So he compares Iran that did not attack the USA or Americans to Nazis rounding up Jews and others to exterminate? These Republicans are the worst liars and would follow Trump into a deep hole if he told them to.

Prior to Hitler invading Poland, 85% of Americans were against invading Poland.

So if Houthis bomb Pearl Harbor and everyone will be all in

👏

😂😂😂

And to that point, if someone's been yelling the same tired lines for 47 years you discount their blather.

Even MAGA will get the joke here…

We are not gonna change our minds. 🇺🇸

👀

Clever way of exposing Trump's usual exploitation of legal loopholes & fully supported by a corrupt, GOP led congress.

Not one of these absolute goobers can keep track of whether this war is an analogue to all our major wars of the past or has literally nothing in common with them and how dare anyone suggest it does. Often in the same interview.

Send this fucker to the front lines.

Humiliatingly submissive to a crazy old man.

Being drawn into a war that had been raging in Europe for years because of a tragic first strike by a country in Asia is a far cry from starting a war of choice after cancelling nuclear agreements that took 2 years to negotiate and were doing what they were designed to do.

Quick background info on Rep. Carlos Gimenez ⤵️

Does anyone think Trump and his enablers are too moral to stage a casus belli if they could come up with a plausible one? He's shown that he has no bottom when it comes to saving his ass. And the nub of an idea clearly is out there.

If the Japanese hadn’t attacked Pearl Harbor, we never would have gotten involved. “That’s Europe’s war.”

“80 years ago, people STILL weren’t in favor of going to war…”

Hmm...I wonder what event occurred to change their opinion?

TACO attacked Iran by choice
