He was clearly stating U.S. cities would have been threatened if a nuclear Iran hadn’t been stopped.
He clearly was not. But by all means, invite him to clarify. Stop speaking for him.
I’ve heard a lot of people saying that, but these people fail to realize that he said it in front of cameras. We have the quote, I’ve gone over it dozens of times and I can’t get any meaning out of it besides “Iran can blow up San Diego and Los Angeles and I wouldn’t care.”
I mean if you wanted to give a charitable interpretation it could be simply that there would be swift retribution and they would regret it. Like “oh I wish you would punch me” or something. So, yeah, let him clarify, but he simply won’t, because that’s not what he meant.
Honestly Trump has a lot in common with The Bible in that he and God both speak a bunch of fucking word salad gibberish and we’re all left alone to try to interpret WTF he just said because he refuses to clarify.
I don’t care what he says and haven’t for many years. I care that he rapes children and has still not been held accountable.
Did he just name the two cities of his flase flag so he can declare martial law by midterms?
We need to finish the civil war.
They are finishing it right before our eyes.
Somebody resurrect Sherman already.
This loser thinks he bothered the Libz with that nonsense, so he doubled down to piss them off more. He’s too stupid to understand that it pissed off his own side, too.
He lost everybody but his own loyalists long ago, and now he’s on the edge with his own people. Every time he says something outrageous like that, it doesn’t make a difference with the Left, they’re long gone anyway, but it does make a difference with his own side, and they don’t like it.
Fr. I have /had friends who who lived in SD. I have to watch my mouth out there at bars and stuff because there’s a bunch of Republicans who live there (usually current or former military).
Maybe this that surprise that he says they have planned. He going create flase flag in both cities and blame Iran and use it to cancel the elections.
I suspect he’s just itching to use nuclear weapons to be strong and stable and genius, being too stupid to understand why it’s is a bad idea.
The rest of his executive are also bloodthirsty fascists and probably don’t actually have a problem sacrificing some “libs” or “commies” or whatever for their
greater goodapocalypic religious ravings.Didn’t even think it be nuclear weapons, but your not wrong he suggested and seriously wanted to use a nuke to stop a hurricane. You remember it the one defaced a weather projection map with a sharper when they refuse to draw it going the way he had said it will go. If he can’t stay in power I definitely see him using a nuke on his way out the door.
There are a few, unconfirmed and anonymous staff leaks that say he’s been stopped from using nuclear weapons several times.
What that fucking scary what happens when he replaced everyone willing to say no to his demands.
The first time had enough plausible deniability that he meant it in a “See what happens” type of way.
I still think that is the most reasonable interpretation of his statements but he’s intentionally playing into the media to keep the debate going. Letting people hear what they want to hear; Those that want to believe he meant the bad version (either because they like the message; or want to be mad about it) will hear that way. Those that want to believe he meant the innocent version will believe that.
It’s just very sick. What a disgusting terrorist.
another way to look at it is he’s inviting attacks and giving plausible deniability to our enemies - because anything that happens in the coming months, people will wonder if it’s a false flag done by his crooked admin FIRST before anyone else.
French here. Flabbergasted at the fact he and his goons have not been impeached/choppity-chopped yet.
Our government has been largely captured by people whose loyalty is to, in this order:
- Themselves
- Their party
- America (sometimes further down the list)
That is the problem.
America isn’t even on the list
Its themselves and their family
Their corporate bribers
Law enforcement
Israel
Israel should be higher and their family should be optional
Flabbergasted? Why?
America is a spineless and complacent country full of ineffective limp-dick, do-nothing cowards that are happy to keep status quo if it means they don’t have to exert any effort.
Today I saw Jamie Raskin lamenting that Trump has damaged US alliances globally. While, sure, Trump has been bad, voting in a Democrat isn’t going to restore everything. The American public can always vote in another dangerous demagogue and I think the world has realised that.
Yep. America isn’t getting fixed. That’s not how it works. And if it ever recovers, it’ll take a typical Democrat to learn how not be a typical Democrat to do it.
You’re the only coward I see, and I’ve lived in the US my whole life.
You know nothing of us, and it cost you nothing to spout all this ignorance here.
Lmao…
Born here, and have lived 53 years here. East coast and west coast.
I’d say I know enough.

The orange one said,
Let them hit San Diego,
And the magas cheered!
What a fucking idiot.
Senile ass out here giving away the false flag. It’s not like he didn’t already send in the Marines.
trump: I don’t give a shit if Iran kills Americans on U.S. soil!
The White House: it’s not treason, he means gas prices.
Robots: It’s not treason he meant gas prices.
Press: It’s not treason he means gas prices.
trump: I wanna do treason muhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Republicans clean up your fucking pedophile king and stop ripping America apart. Assholes.
Let them hit Mar-a-Lardo?
I think Dump is banking on more Americans having insane rightwing California Derangement Syndrome and I don’t think most Americans really have that, just the weird freaks that adore people like him.
1 out of 8 people in us live in California. That’s 12.5% of the population.
And they get 2 senators, same as the 0.172% of Americans living in Wyoming. The US needs constitutional reforms in so many ways.
Indeed. It borders on the absurdly ridiculous. I’m not sure the founders, even when they were trying to balance the interests of slave states anticipated such a wild imbalance of having one state having 67 times the number of people in another state.
This is not a problem. The Senate is half of one branch of government, and it’s fine to give land limited say. It helps prevent us from turning the less populated states into dumping grounds.
Even if you disagree, there are much bigger issues. Gerrymandering and Citizens United both do infinitely more damage.
It helps prevent us from turning the less populated states into dumping grounds.
You’re going to have to prove that’s what would happen.
You’re also going to have to explain why that’s worse than underfunding and not meeting the everyday needs of actual people- the vast majority of whom do not live in rural America- to prevent rural America from “Becoming a dumping ground”.
(Also while you’re at it, show how republicans aren’t already turning rural America into literal dumping grounds with their regulatory rollbacks.)
I’m going to have to what? Sounds like I didn’t need to do shit.
You’re going to have to prove eliminating the Senate is more important than fixing Citizens United or gerrymandering.
Equal representation is a foundation of democracy.
The US doesn’t have that. And has never had it. If the foundation is shit, everything else is going to go to shit.
That includes citizens united and gerrymandering.
Which it needs to be said is a false dichotomy and all three things can be done simultaneously. It’s as lazy and fucking disingenuous as saying urban and suburban voters can’t vote responsibly for rural decisions but rural voters can vote responsibly for urban decisions.
Any argument you can make for rural voters receiving more voting power can be echoed right back at you and it’s all a load of bullshit.
So yeah. You’re absolutely going to have to defend the argument you fucking made when that argument is ultimately to disenfranchise 80% of American voters.
The Senate is pretty clearly spelled out in the Constitution. Citizens United is a pretty far fetched, liberal interpretation, and gerrymandering isn’t in the Constitution at all.
Eliminating the Senate is more difficult and not on my priority list, and you haven’t exactly convinced me to support that. It’s a great idea if your goal is to get nothing done.
I guess we can agree to disagree.
Yes, let’s give dirt more votes than people.
The Senate is antidemocratic.
The issue isn’t the Senate, that was never meant to be proportionate. The issue is the House.
No, it’s not.fine. we can’t give brainless rednecks that much disproportionate voting power. Look what they’ve e done with it
It is 100% a problem that Vermont and California both get 2 senator each.
California has 60 times the population VT has. 60. Same proportional representation in the senate.
Vermont has 3 total representatives in Congress, one of which is Bernie Sanders. California has 54.
If the Senate was the entire legislative branch, I would agree with you that it’s a problem. It’s not.
The Senate confirms justices for a lifelong position on the Supreme Court. The Senate being overly right wing and not properly representative of the people is not the entire problem, but it’s definitely a problem.
3:54 < 1:60
And you get closer to 1:1 by increasing the size of the senate.
This is exactly what he is doing - throwing red meat to his base. “Yeah, fuck them libruls in California! Let 'em get nuked and see how they like that! Ha!”
What fucking President of the United States would say this? This man is a corrupt, incompetent, dangerous fool. That people voted for!
Hello Americans! Today it’s totally fine and normal for your president to spins wheel … invite Iran to bomb progressive cities! Hooray.
The MAGats know that he’s a human cesspool, but they’ll come up with excuses so they don’t have to admit how awful he is.
I saw a dozen posts yesterday where apologists were saying it was just a joke or he was being misunderstood.
“Cantcha take a joke?” has been the response of bullies for generations.
MAGats don’t wanna admit that they themselves were wrong… or I should say, they don’t want to have to hide their heinousness again. They don’t give a fuck about how awful trump is, they just don’t wanna feel like people think their awful/outcast, because they don’t know how to reconcile. Doubling down is what angry cowards do
