No argument here.

Here are some facts that are not being discussed. Before I share them, let me say that a peaceful agreement was made with Iran during the Obama administration.

During Trump's first term in office and now his second term in office. He has destroyed all that work. In simple terms, Trump screwed us all AGAIN with no Lube.

And yes- I'm angry. Actually enraged. I've noticed a pattern with Republican Party Presidents. Every single time there is a Republican President and a Republican Trifecta- they always tank the economy and get our country involved in some stupid and useless war that gets a lot of our fellow country’s citizens and service members killed. And if you are someone who still supports this Trump Regime and aligns with this Republican Party --then you are a damn fool

Now that I've got that said, here are some facts:

President Obama's administration negotiated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2015.

​Commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal, this agreement included the following key terms:

Nuclear Restrictions: Iran agreed to limit its uranium enrichment and dismantle much of its nuclear infrastructure.

Sanctions Relief: In exchange for compliance, the U.S. and other world powers lifted heavy economic sanctions.

Monitoring: The deal allowed international inspectors to verify that Iran’s nuclear program remained peaceful.

​The agreement was also signed by China, France, Germany, Russia, and the United Kingdom. However, the U.S. later withdrew from the pact in 2018 during the first Trump administration.

Yea, but it made sense and was done by a black man’s administration. Let the old white racist come to f*ck it up, only to realize like “South Park” depicts him, “maybe that wasn’t such a bad deal, and could make me look good”.

And he murdered a whole elementary school full of children in Iran which was totally unprovoked for which he must be held accountable!

Sandralyn Pierce's avatar

Trump is a criminal, an embecile, an adulterer, and the worst president in the history of the country! The US is doomed, not because of Trump who looks like he has a foot in the grave and unlikely that he’ll finish his term, but because a majority of voters in the US, which has the most uneducated voters of western democracies (and especially compared to the major Communist countries), don’t have a lick of sense, as proven by the moron they elected to the most powerful office in the world!

What makes you think Benjamin knows anything to do with it perhaps Donald is just that evil too

Hound's avatar

I think Trump and his mob here in the US had better worry a little bit about how potent the Iranian military still is. The Iranians are pretty good with drones and missiles and obviously they still have missiles. They also have shoulder launched missiles like the vulnerable stinger missile. They also have rocket propelled grenades.

Trump said something about their being sleeper cells in the US. If he’s telling the truth, he’s in deep shit. Since the Iranians who don’t have an Air Force and have been able to shoot down an F 15 strike eagle they probably can hit targets within the United States if they really have sleeper cells.

Our intelligence? What intelligence? He gutted the most experienced intelligence operatives.

Elizabeth A Haines's avatar

I suppose he knew they probably would have opposed him uphill and down.

Doreen Garza's avatar

That’s right..he wants only those that kiss his ass and agree with him 100% and the cowardess regime, the pathetic scum look so friking ridiculous stampedeing over each other for his attention 🤬🤮

Expertly stated and produced 💯👌👊🙌🤝

Guylaine deslauriers's avatar

Eventhough I really dislike Trump, I hope the 2nd pilot gets found and rescued by the US military. This is so sad that the military is the one paying the consequences for trump stupid decisions.

Deanna's avatar

The people in the military do not want to fight this war then they need to call Mike Prysner, Director of the Center on Conscience & War:

Call 1-800-379-2679

Jennet Bryan's avatar

These same people are the ones allowing him to do as he pleases, without consequence since the late1970s. Please do not be fooled 😒😮‍💨

All tRump does is lie. ReleaseTheTrumpsteinFiles

Cat's avatar

Exactly, if he didn’t they would know what Iran has been building the last century. They haven’t started a war in 100 yrs . They kill people that cross their boarder . That’s what they have been hiding all this time . It’s scary for anyone but they wanted and probably knew trump was going to attack.

Sharon Romonoyske Jablonski's avatar

The Iranians haven't in custody already. Don't follow the mainstream media. They're lying.

Imagine how much that crazy fuck loves this! His sycophants telling him the entire WORLD is at his mercy and that makes him salivate! He's just some saggy old lying sack of shit who wears orange pancake makeup and shits his pants and this is the ignorant shit-stain messing up our country and the rest of the world. Wth are people so intimidated by him? He's an utter dumbass! I'll never get it!

Netanyahu, Palantir, Kushner, Hegseth are all insane, hateful, anti American and bloodlusty

WHY DON’T THEY IMPEACH trump?????

Tim Winters's avatar

Because money is power , and the people with concentrations of money, support/control this shht show.

Jo2020's avatar

This whole administration is playing with our lives. Playing with the lives of the military lying fabricating what the hell are they doing? Drugs.. alcohol? this is all too much to handle!!

Lisa Oatts's avatar

Has it been 4 years yet? How much longer? I'm hungry… I have to go to the bathroom… HOW MUCH LONGER?

Wes Anderson's avatar

I know it's tough but we have to stay vigilant. Rest when you need to rest but come back ready to fight. Cause these so called ‘leaders’ and corporations wake up everyday trying to think of ways to gain more for themselves. Some are actively trying to harm the rest of us simultaneously. Other politicians and corporations don't care at all as long as they make a profit or gain some kind of clout. This is almost as dangerous as active harm. We need wake the CEOs up and make those in control realize who really holds the power. The freaking people!!

In addition to No Kings organizers and citizens across the country are utilizing the historic day that is May Day (Union Holiday, look it up). So find and join a May Day protest near you. There are also three easy things you can do if you can't attend a protest or event.

We wanna hit em all the pocketbook. So on Friday May 1st, no work, no school, no shopping. Call in sick, use a vacation day, if you're work is cool tell them why you aren't working or ask them to shut down and post a sign. Also don't go to school or lead a walkout. And most importantly don't spend any money on May Day.

Lisa Oatts's avatar

I didn't spend one penny! Thanks for the advice. I've been screaming (all of this) since the idiot-in-cheif tried to shut down Jimmy Kimmel the 1st time. You're right about all of it, we must continue on the course. In all honesty, We, the People, have far more power than we are led to believe. Considering that, we have to keep marching on! We're simply exhausted but march on we will!

We are ALL in danger as we have deranged idiots at the helm!!!!

We need to get our real military leaders back and get rid of Hegseth.

Linda Harris's avatar

Here is something they are not announcing: Casualties per branch of service

Army = 247

Navy = 63

Marines = 19

Airforce = 36 DEATH TOLL = 13

Lisa Oatts's avatar

In all honesty, I'm shocked that no one (Except you, Linda) else is outraged about this fact. I've known for weeks! I have 2 daughters who served in the Navy and the Marines. My Marine was deployed to Afghanistan. I'm so THANKFUL they retired before Kegsbreath and Trumplethinskin. Regardless, whether it's your brother, sister, mother, father or child, YOU SHOULD CARE! Just because this nonsense doesn't affect you personally, it doesn't excuse you! Sit on THAT for awhile...

Linda Harris's avatar

I am so glad your 2 daughters are retired and safe Lisa. I am still very upset that we do not know the status of these wounded soldiers. Some were in critical condition. They have lied to us all along since this started and yesterday I saw the video of our bases in the Middle East. They showed before and after and one was completely annihilated. The damage was much worse than anyone would say. I am very worried about the kids over there now.

Survivors Story's avatar

💯 and let Netanyahu deal with it and send Hegseth

Andrew Mickelson's avatar

NOW, CHINA, RUSSIA, ARE GOING TO DEFEND IRAN, SO OUR IDIOT PRESIDENT IS NOW PLAYING WITH WW 3, AND THAT'S NOT A THREAT,IT'S REAL, YET REPUBLICANS, WON'T DO ANYTHING TO STOP TRUMP, THEY NEED TO ALL LOSE THIER POSITIONS, OK?

Jennet Bryan's avatar

Death penalty please. And ASAP so not to rinse taxpayers anymore!

Democrats aren't exactly rushing to get rid of Orange Baby are they.

Watching what is going from across The Pond in the UK I am gobsmacked at the lack of action against this shit stained nappy soiling dementoid dictator🤢🤮💩

Glenda Kathleen Bauerle's avatar

You mean the Republicans. Democrats do not have the majority and not enough votes from the Republican side to make it work. The Republicans are in the majority and could change this any minute but they haven't.

JimBo's avatar

No....I mean Democrats. I understand about majorities but I don't hear very many Democrats getting out there and kicking up a fuss about Orange Baby. They ALL should be stirring things up.

It's almost like they don't care.

No. Never did.

Easy answer: NO FUCKIN’ WAY!

Brent Gamroth's avatar

the us is still operating under 20th century war rules, clearly Iran is not.

Linda Harris's avatar

Number 1 country for asymmetrical war is Ukraine who offered to help and trump said we don't need you. Number 2 country is Russia, who is feeding both satellite intel and sending drones to Iran. Number 3 is Iran. These 3 countries have been using drone technology for years. trump/kegsbreath live in the past or in imaginary call of duty play. They pay about $20,000 to $30,000 per drone. A tomahawk costs millions and takes over a year to produce. You cannot fight a conventional war when they are fighting a modern war.

Brent Gamroth's avatar

This is almost "knife to a gunfight" proportions of ineptness. I knew it would not turn out well but this is utterly ridiculous. I feel like my German Shepherd could have planned this better.

Linda Harris's avatar

Oh, thank you, Brent. I will take this laughter with me into this weekend (also with the hope that Agent Orange doesn't do something to hurt our troops)

Jennet Bryan's avatar

When ur paranoid like them n deluded, everything is woke or fake news, this us what u get 😤

RNDM31's avatar

Or rather, the longstanding fantasy of decisive victory through (enormously expensive) overwhelming airpower that goes back to Gen. Giulio Douhet in the Twenties if not H. G. Wells some decades earlier. The same shit that informed the carpet-bombing* dogmas of WW2.

Iran, alas, wasn't stupid enough to try to play by the rules set by its adversary. Much like the Vietnamese and Afghans.

*area saturation was in any case obliged by the sheer inaccuracy of period high-altitude level bombing; by its own estimates the USAAF - working with the best bombsights of the day - could only put something like 10% of dropped bombs within a hundred meters of the point of aim. And this is why dive-bombing was used so much against tactical and naval targets.

Tess's avatar

Idiots and fools at the helm. God help us.

Geo's avatar

The US was negotiating a peace treaty with Iran and attacked the country! Is that fair? This is why Iran will not agree to a ceasefire.

Jennet Bryan's avatar

Iran has already agreed stuff with President Obama. If you look at some of what Drumpf has done you'll see his aim is to undo all that President Barack Obama has done, had agreed, had accomplished, has set up, etc. Just as Drumpf started when he was last in power, especially with Medicaid, etc.

RNDM31's avatar

Fairness, alas, tends not have much role in power politics.

But even in terms of cold Realpolitik that move was just plain *stupid* because pulling shit like that means nobody will trust you to negotiate in good faith which makes things unnecessarily difficult and expensive down the road.

It's like the reason why back in the olden days the victors normally honoured promises of safe conduct and quarter given to the losing side - reneging on such meant people *stopped surrendering to you* and fought to the last instead because what did they have to lose? And that made things slow and expensive.

The Mongols started getting hit with that a lot fairly quickly due to their habit of constantly reneging on exactly such generally-accepted rules of War for ex. Which was no doubt one of the reasons why by the time Batu Khan fucked off back to the Pontic steppes his armies *still* hadn't been able to take any of the handful of proper fortresses in the parts of Hungary he'd overrun. (The still unconquered half, never mind now Europe further in, meanwhile was fortified to the gills so... yeah.)

Dannys's avatar

You noticed. So have I. Its obvious.

Jennet Bryan's avatar

How so? No permission to invade and bomb up the place killing dozens of kids. The world knows it's illegal, so why don't you?

John Leavister's avatar

an A-10 went down?!?! I don't think the administration understands what obliterated means... the A-10 is one of the heaviest armed and armored planes in our military. They are a beast and can take ridiculous damage and still fly. If their air defenses are stout enough to take one down, then Kegs-breath and tangerine palpatine have zero clue what is actually going on.

LAnd's avatar

My husband was also surprised by this news and wonders if it was a lucky shot when I told him. 🥲

Roy's avatar

Tangerine palpatine, first time I've heard that one. That's pretty good. 👏

Nancy Drennan's avatar

Adam, I love watching your debates! You are incredibly smart and talented.

Dtothegrymes's avatar

But we’re winning the war…… The fucking country and our military is being run by a child raping lunatic and Fox News rejects. Never in my life did I think this country would be so stupid to vote for donald trump twice

Jacqueline Adekoya's avatar

America definitely has great qualities for sure. No one should forget that. Most people just want it to reach its full potential for all its citizens

Linda Harris's avatar

I think Americans just want an income they can live on, healthcare that doesn't break them and a future for their children. This is well within the realm of the US to cover. If this congress ever passes that $1.5 trillion for defense, they will lose the last bit of support they have.

Meg annardy's avatar

But please do not say Iran does not care about its civilians. That is not true. That is the same propaganda that Israel has used against the Palestinians. Don’t do that, it’s unbecoming and not true.

Glen's avatar

Adam question for you, has Iran ever started a war? America has started more wars in history since ww11. America needs to keep out from other countries backyard and mind their own affairs, and look after their citizens with health care and education rather than fighting wars!

Shell Payton's avatar

That's just it. People think that Russia and China are the biggest bullies, but they're not. America is. Always sticking your nose where it doesn't belong
