I'm getting the feeling they just put a dancing clown in front of us so we don't start talking about real problems and demanding solutions for them. I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but the entire Trump presidency is one big distraction. We could be talking about and working towards solutions to societies problems, but now the news cycle is a 24/7 clown show.

I mention the Epstein class all the time, and I straight up said I would kill Trump on the spot if I spotted him, to my co-workers. I do NOT hide it at all.
Username definitely check out.
Isn't it only Tuesday?
I’m tired, Boss.
Really tired.
2025 was an exhausting decade
Lol remember when everyone thought they had it tough living through history when "history" just meant "a pandemic"?
What a week huh? US, it's tuesday.
The US and the rest of the world has the same week. For the same reason.
Every day feels like a week.
Yes. What's your point?
😱
💀
Sir, is this a Wendys?
Ma'am, we're on Lemmys
Can I have one with everything.
One beans with jeans coming right up
Do you stock janties?
Of course. All styles come in the "distressed" style
and just like that.... people aren't talking about the epstein files anymore
Except his wife
"quick, while no ones talking about; talk about it!"
Yeah I mean sure the files and all but nuclear armageddon does, indeed, kind of take precedence of mind
I mean, when you put it that way, anything can sound bad.
I hope I don't need the /s tag...
Thank you for advertising this content creator's name, Kevin M.
Remember when Randy Marsh took that giant shit? That's how I imagine America is going to feel after the big flush.
My partner and I can’t even remember why he bombed Iran. Anyone able to remind us?
I don't think he ever gave a solid reason for it. At first it was something about them refining radioactive material, then it was about the apocalypse, then I stopped paying attention to the flimsy excuses.
It has been an "imminent threat" for the past 40 years. Not sure they understand the meaning of the word "imminent."
Supposedly he thought it would increase his dismal polling numbers, as military action tended to do so for previous presidents.
Also, to distract from the Epstein files and several other things people are actively upset about.
I've heard the phrase "largest state sponsor of terrorism" thrown around, but honestly I feel like it wasn't even mentioned until well after everything had started and it wasn't an immediate success like they must've thought it would be. No idea if it's true at all. And there's always "we gotta stop them from getting nukes".
Basically it's whatever they can think of in the moment in the rare instance they get questioned about it. They've also said all goals have been met since like, at least a week ago, so now I guess it's just for the love of the game.
Two causes but no real objectives of the war:
- Israel would have attacked anyways and he didn't want to look weak as an ally
- His ego, overreaction, wanting to play the tough guy, convincing himself that this will be worth an entry in history books
Now, he has created this situation and doesn't know how to back out of his mess without loosing his face (from his view) in public, whichbl he already has lost anyways
He closed the Strait of Hormuz twice.
He says he did
"You can't close the strait! I close the strait!"
