I wish I still loved it. But the lies, the wars, the disenfranchisement of the poor and sick, the theft of our taxes, the greed, and most of all the cruelty… what’s to love? There are people I love…yes! But the country? No longer.

This bullshit war has resulted in our logistics operations in the area (Bahrain) being interrupted leading to the food shortages etc. on the USS Lincoln among other USS ships. This administration is a complete failure. An abomination. Impeach. Convict. Remove. Prison.

One problem that Americans have to get past is that this *is* who they are. It’s not an aberration - this is what the US society is. All that time kidding yourself about being the greatest nation on earth you have been murdering your own citizens and those in other countries.

The strait of Hormuz, as surely every president before drumpf knew, is the key to the global economy while much of the world still relies on fossil fuels; but what could a guy so drugged up with eyes so swolen shut that you could literally blindfold him with dental floss know about anything? FDJT!

I was kinda hoping someone would haul away W. Hunter Thompson eulogized Nixon saying he should be dumped 100 miles off-shore in case he washed back up and, Reagan was....insufferable. But, yeah - pretty much. I haven't flown a flag since Reagan. Not much point. Five decades of GOP destruction.

It's 'what happens next' and 'are we ever going to grow up and face the past and change'. When or If that happens, I'll fly that flag, then. I don't pay much attention to 'these people'. They are reliably full of shit.

The problem is that in this league, the owners are the ones picking the coach, and the fans are just paying for the overpriced stadium snacks.

He is not the first American president to loose a war Vietnam, Bay of Pigs(Cuba) not actually a war didn’t get that far, Afghanistan and others

Oh, I've had a problem with US presidents ever since JFK. Who was likely killed over the fact he wouldn't go along with the New World Order crowd that was already emerging back then. Carter got off lucky by comparison... Pretty sure he said no to them as well.

Gun violence, homelessness, unaffordable healthcare, crushing student debt, endless wars, unconditional backing of Israel’s assault on Gaza. Beautiful country, brutal policy record. The people didn’t vote for most of it — the system did.

These ignorant fucks think war plays out like the movies. Logistics, personnel requirements and morale don't magically work off screen IRL. To compensate for their criminal incompetence, the last carrier was pulled from the West Pacific much to China's delight.

On a more serious note, these Sailors and Marines are just humans. When the breaking point is reached with the people who maintain aircraft, Aviators start getting wet or worse. This lesson was learned (and since apparently forgotten) during the Vietnam war.

Sadly, every day I find out more and more things about America that make it hard to still love it. We need to do some serious reckoning with what we actually are as a country. Turns out we never were the myth that we were sold growing up. Hopefully one day we will fully live up to that myth.

He had no plan and went into the war with such nievitcy after Hegseth sacked experienced Generals who could have advised the president if he ever took intelligence briefs. This is the commander in chief of the most powerful military in the world who cannot finish what he wrongfully started.

Trump thought he could barge his fat, fetid ass into Iran like he did Venezuela. The Persians have fought wars for thousands of years and know how to do it. "Hide in the Turkish food, you great pig"

First thing he did was to appoint a Fox weekend host as Secretary of Defense, who promptly changed the name to Department of War, fought one war, and lost it. To Iran. A country that couldn't even defeat Iraq. You can't make this stuff up.

I don't feel that way. I feel like half the country, the people in charge, who is have railed against my whole life, love this and will always support leaders like Trump. They only wish it was harsher, that the police were meaner, that the weakest among us had less.

And the kicker is con politicians at every turn don’t give a f, about war, disease out break, deficit and all of a sudden this is ok, ice murdered. God we are living in a nightmare.

I didn’t like Nixon, Reagan, nor the Bush boys, but it stopped there. With Trump, something is very different. It’s not just my level of enmity toward him, but it's increasingly extending to the people who have continued to vote for him and to this day continue to support him despite the obvious

I feel the same. I love our country and despise what he is doing to it. Destroying us bit by bit. I was taught not to waste energy on hate. Get engaged as much as yo can to resisit.

I grew up in the 60's l have seen some things..but never to this magnitude. Never have we had a dirtier more corrupt manipulative egregious amoral President or adminstration as this.

It’s so difficult. But when we undermine European democracies, attack our Canadian neighbors for no reason, threaten to invade Greenland, side with Putin over Ukraine, etc. I can only hope that we fail in these efforts.

First president that has made me go to the actuarial tables to study male life expectancy. I love America, I just don’t want the president to deviate too far from the average 🤣

he's like "the strait is gonna be a US territory" meanwhile he's lost every battle so far, fully incapable of pushing his disgusting agenda, killing innocent people. all so he can help billionaires build a new country with all the money and power they stole. even his lies have lies.

Here’s what worries me: the polls are disastrous for Trump and the GOP - we know that he’s going to do something at election time or before certification - people keep saying he can’t bc it be unconstitutional But when has Trump or this administration ever honored the constitution?

There was a day when Americans didn’t start wars, but they would damn well finish one when the need arose. It’s hard to love a country that has very little integrity. It’s hard to love a country with worthless political representation.

And yet he still makes speeches about how the Iranian economy is being destroyed along with its military and that there will soon be regime collapse and change. At what cost to the US pray tell? And whose intelligence agreed that this war was necessary? Many more thoughts, this will do for me.

And it was all to divert attention from The Epstein files, his failed economic poliocies such as tariffs, his failure to protect Americans from cyclospora, his bump in inflation… It’s as if trump’s whole purpose is to wreck our country.

I can’t disagree, but seeing this coming from Iran makes me also think that those who scream the loudest about their piety and are the first to cast aspersions on others are so very often the biggest offenders of our shared moral and ethical codes of behavior.

#30million8/30 Distraction is a tool of propaganda. If the masses are distracted they are not organized. Pay little attention to the distractions and focus on the goal. Regime collapse is the only way to begin restoring our nation. NEXT NATIONWIDE MASS PROTEST ON 8/30 END FASCISM IN AMERICA!

Krasnov needs his meds changed up. Some psilocybin and CBD oil can be introduced into 1600’s HVAC system, giving everyone a little respite from the stress of destroying the nation

Don't forget that he warned the Iranians that he would exterminate their entire population if they didn't comply with his demands. Now he doesn't have a damn missile to shoot at them.

Too many people say, "but the next one will be worse," as to acquiesce and accept current conditions without a fight. So what if the next one is worse- then we get rid of them too. Voting is our coup. Get everyone to vote.

Conversely I've seen America in a new light. It always had its extremities. Now though they rule the roost. Overt racism. Fascism with ice. War obsession. Disregard for humanity. Ill informed and uneducated. It's a nation of Fuckwitts!
