Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

At this point I'm wondering if there really was a ceasefire.
Everything this guy says is a lie until proven otherwise.
If I were a betting man, it seems very likely he just made the whole thing up. Perhaps he pitched the idea and was turned down by either Israel or Iran (probably both). Went to social media to proclaim his victory. Leading both countries to attach each other to show the whole thing was bullshit.
Let's not forget, he claimed he was the lynch pin behind the India and Pakistan ceasefire, only to have both sides say he wasn't involved at all.
“You basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f— they’re doing! Do you understand that?”
Yes, we all understood that for a long time, and not just with this conflict - ironic you would say they "don't know what the f- they're doing", though. Who would have thought diplomacy requires more than "I'm the 'big guy', so they'll naturally listen to anything I have to say". Who would have thought these long standing conflicts would require more than saying "let there be peace" to solve.
We all, nameless citizens of the world, have known it for a long time - even though we can't do much about it - about Israel/Iran, about Russia/Ukraine, and so on. While you, toddler living in a golden bubble that you are, have been focusing exclusively on golfing and how to perfect the art of the grift, as well as securing golden parachutes from your grifter friends each time you manage to bankrupt a casino. So now you get to the big chair and think the chair is what gives you power, when in fact it was most of your predecessors' hard work that gave so much power to the POTUS chair. The same power you're now imploding.
Whoever produced The Apprentice should commit seppuku in atonement for helping Trump build his platform.
One of the more honest things he's ever said.
OH NO, NOT THE F-WORD.
Seriously, why the fuck is this news?
If Obama had said “fuck” in office, wouldn’t have been 24/7 for two weeks on Fox News?
Faux News isn't news, so what's your point?
He would have been impeached and we would never have heard the end of the outrage from Fox.
So they have the excuse to write "trump explodes" in the headline
There was no ceasefire
Surely he had concepts of a ceasefire
The odds of us experiencing a loser of this caliber again in our lifetimes is pretty slim.
Interestingly enough, the odds of me ever having a shred of respect for this country again in our lifetimes is also pretty slim.
They'll have to have the cannon custom made.
Unfortunately people like Greg Abbott, Ron DeSantis, JD Vance, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and more still exist.
The entire admin and half the country are losers of this caliber, you're drowning in them. Nice thought though.
I think people are underestimating how big a loser Trump is. Like the people supporting him are losers, but it takes quite a bit to approach his unprecedented levels of loserhood.
Closer to a third. Maybe two thirds if you include the lazy fucks that couldn't be bothered to stand in line for a few minutes.
What blows my mind is even in states like Washington, California and Oregon, which utilize mail-in voting, only about 75% of registered voters participated. How hard is it to check some boxes and fling the letter in the mailbox?
Fuck this hurts to read, and empathize with.
Who would have thought that bringing peace to the Middle East would be so difficult?!
His obsession with the Nobel peace price is really what's driving all this. He's been willing to do deals nobody else would make just to get that recognition, and it's ironically inflaming more conflict.
The best news I read is that his nomination was withdrawn so now he's extra yippy.
WE understand that. Someone deluded themselves into thinking that a couple bombs would magically produce peace. This is not a Harry Potter movie, so Explosio Nocturna did not work.
Not that I don't like to see him miserable but if saying fuck counts as a meltdown, I meltdown every time I speak. Honestly, its not even a signifier of stress, its more likely to signal your being genuine
How many times can you recall a president cursing when talking to reporters? Even Trump doesn't curse much in his tweets or press briefings. So it's definitely notable.
Context matters. Someone using profanity more often than they otherwise would in the same context is generally a signifier of stress or excitement.
Peoples fucking dying
Cannot print fuck
He said fuck for fuck's sake
It's a word. I'm getting broken down by the amount of censorship on the internet, particularly Youtube. Their guidelines only state to withhold any uncensored cursing or content deemed only suitable for mature audiences for the first fifteen seconds, to avoid being tagged as mature and the video viewcount and profit largely reduced. A very small price to pay for freedom of human expression and life. But channels take this much further than the relatively mild corporation's rules, such as:
- Censoring or obscuring all expletives deemed by Christianity to be foul
- Censoring or obscuring all words describing a sensitive subject (e.g. rape, sex, sexual, abuse, murder, suicide, kill)
- Censoring any moment in which a being is subject to any form of impact, whether accidental, assault or police abuse
These actively block and suppress conversing about real issues, leading to more harm, more assault, and more silent victims. Every time the word suicide is censored signifies to me that another person has committed suicide because they weren't heard. This has been proven to be correlation.
Censorship of human life, experience and expression not only insults my personal ideals of life and freedom, but actually causes more harm, and I cannot forgive that.
Being Silenced: The Impact of Negative Social Reactions on the Disclosure of Rape
“You basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f— they’re doing! Do you understand that?” he told reporters Tuesday morning on his way to the NATO summit in The Hague.
Everybody has understood that for decades.
And now Trump has understood it for half a day. Being the way he is, this is a "Nobody knew..." moment.
Muslims and Jews have been fighting each other for nearly 3000 years.
If anyone thinks they're going to be the one person who can stop that conflict, they're absolutely delusional.
What a stupid comment
ICE will just round up some more brown people to make him feel better.
At some point even he has to realize that he's a joke right?
Like even his syphillitic brain can't not see what's right in front of him forever, can it?
To other world leader's he's a joke. Someone who they can stroke his ego to get whatever they want, and then ignore him entirely and do whatever they feel like anyway.
"Israel..don't drop those bombs" Israel had no intention of listening to him. Russia had no intention of listening to him. They make his sense of self importance skyrocket and so they say whatever they need to say to get him to do whatever THEY want him to do, and then don't listen to him the rest of the time.
Is he really this fucking stupid?
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
maybe he should've grabbed them by the pussy
The fact that this went away, really makes me confident that America is a failed state.
