Navy will simply wait it out. Trump’s gone in 2.5 years. Reverting to steam cats and moving the island forward for aesthetics?  Yeah, okay. We’ll get right on that…

I hear crickets from some of the most vocal supporters of Trump on this issue. Why? 

Too funny! Are you calling posters out or?

If you're expecting nuance from a guy on his fourth Vital account, I've got bad news for you.

Iran is now making “Ending the Blockade” the front issue. Does that mean it’s working? 

Their economy continues to tumble. The Rial is worth $.000001 and reports of the masses gettin’ restless are such that it’s being reported that the IRGC has a renewed focus on suppressing the populous.

Now there are stories of the Iranian Leadership (whoever that is…which is also in question) and the IRGC provoking a more involved war…some say “Regional War” & there are reports of Iran attempting a land war in Kuwait.

Since the 2nd night/3rd day of “Operation Epic Fury”, Iran has attempted to make this a regional war with attacks on neighboring and other countries in the region…and beyond.

Still, I’m not seeing “how this ends” with the current wait and see/back-n-forth that’s goin’ on.

Wonder if any of the Iranian leaders have paid the $100K a month to get an early warning on what trumps gonna do to them 🤣.  Isn’t that the going rate to get his truth social posts a day early.

Isn't it a great world we live in? That the president can openly make money off selling access to inside information. 

 

To possible whoever is willing to pay.    It really makes it worthless if anybody can pay for the info though. Because its still putting it out, and anybody doing stuff based off of that type of info will find a way to get access. Either via paying truth directly or some 3rd party.

  Its being marketed like a way to cash in on insider trading info. But really its worthless as far as that goes, or it will be in not too much time.  And will be not much more than a donation to the Trump family biz.  It is crazy what people will spend money on these days.

I hope somebody has a plan. I mean his handling of something simple like painting a pool went so well. I have complete confidence in his ability to get through the shit show in Iran. 

 

 He should just handle Iran like the deflection pool. Blame it on somebody else, instead of holding a contractor responsible for shit work, he makes up a story and arrests innocent people  to blame for the contractors corner cutting.  And while tax money is spent on prosecuting people the DOJ openly admits did nothing, more tax dollars will be rewarded to the corner cutting contractor to fix their mistake. And trump keeps micro managing it. But nothing to see here  ........ 

 

Blame it on Israel , give Iran $400B  to rebuild  and a Trump tower and leave . 

 That's the plan that matches the level of planning I see done with the deflection pool. 

 

 He's all about creating the headlines to help with his grift. He doesn't care if the people he blamed for the pool are ever really prosecuted. He just needed them charged to help sell the lie. Just like he didn't care if there ever was an investigation into Biden in Ukraine , he just needed it announced and he would sell the rest of the BS. He didn't care if Biden was crooked , he only cared that he could benefit if Biden was accused of being crooked and figures his followers will believe anything he tells them.  

 

   He thinks his followers are all dumb and believe everything he tells them. I refuse to believe that so many people really believe as much as they say they do.  I think most go along with it simple because they either are benefiting finically or are unhappy in life and enjoy bringing that negativity to others. I really don't understand the mentality of enjoying getting other people mad or whatever the triggering , or owning the libs means to the people who enjoy doing it. To me its just a sign that they are as unhappy with Trump as the people they enjoy triggering are.

I have a serious question.  What gives you the impression I think I'm smarter than anybody ( as in  even 1 single person)  else posting in here? 

I personally think that underestimating other peoples intelligence is one of the dumbest things You can do. I'm not immune to doing it at times but I try hard not to ever do it.    I find that its often the quickest way to look dumb.  A smart person is only as knowledgeable  as the information they have.  A lack of knowledge is not always a sign of a lack of intelligence. Sometimes its just You don't know what You know, until You know it.  

 

 But I really wonder if that is a serious comment and if so what made You think that. I don't want to give that impression and to anybody that got that feeling  I'm sorry about that. 

 

 It would be a bit more interesting to see You make some real contributions to threads beyond  saying they are all dumb and a waste of time, etc. Even if You feel its not worth  the time or beneath You. Some sort of real opinion on the subject itself , instead of your opinion on the poster.

 

 How do You think it all ends?  

 

 Edited for spelling, I'm sure there are still mistakes , I always seem to use the wrong version of words.

I think everyone battles with underestimating other’s intelligence and overestimating their own (Dunning-Kruger). Knowing what you don’t know, is as important as, knowing what you do know. The best leaders have the ability to put ego aside and choose the best qualified people for positions. You should want dissenting viewpoints to strengthen your own position, be malleable enough to change your position when it is shown to be flawed. That is what true leadership looks like. It’s having ethics and morality, but showing humility and human decency when incorrect, instead of trying to blame everyone else.

  That's what turned me off to Trump to begin with. He has never exhibited the traits I consider are needed in a great leader.  

 

He is amazingly thin skinned for how he seems to not have any shame. Embarrassed by nothing , infuriated by  many things. 

 

Calling political opponents enemies is just not OK when You are the president.  He is great at marketing and causing drama. I think he could be a great movie or reality show producer.  Or social media influencer.  I don't have hate for him like some do. I just do not feel like being a good leader is one of his skills.  Like on a very basic level. Neverminded all of the craziness.

Iran fired off a coupl’a missiles at The UAE this week. They fell into the sea. Iran says…It never happened. 🤣

The UAE cut-off all commerce/trade with Iran as of Tuesday…which is nice.

Not surprising, after Israel, the UAE is the US's closest ally in the Middle East.

Sanctions haven't made a difference so far, why would cutting of trade with the UAE make a difference?

Why would we do that? This whole thing has been great for oil companies.

$93B in combined second quarter profits for them actually.

- $14.5B for ExxonMobil. More than doubled their earnings from previous year.

- $12B in profit for Chevron. More than quadrupling their income from same period in 2025.

- Saudi Aramco  brought in over $33B, a 34% increase over the previous year.

Look at tariffs. The backdoor tax on Americans. Major corporations received billions back.

What is happening is massive corruption, manipulation, and transfer of wealth. Take money out of your pocket, and put in in someone else's.

But, but, but....Iran has nukes.

If they had nukes, none of this would have happened, just look at North Korea.

- $14.5B for ExxonMobil. More than doubled their earnings from previous year.

- $12B in profit for Chevron. More than quadrupling their income from same period in 2025.

- Saudi Aramco  brought in over $33B, a 34% increase over the previous year.

Look at tariffs. The backdoor tax on Americans. Major corporations received billions back.

What is happening is massive corruption, manipulation, and transfer of wealth. Take money out of your pocket, and put in in someone else's.

But, but, but....Iran has nukes.

And we are really showing those pesky trans people and immigrants who the boss is! America, fuck yeah!!

If they had nukes, none of this would have happened, just look at North Korea.

By the looks of it we would probably cozy right up to an Iran with nukes.  POW wow with the ayatollah, Trump and Kim jong at Disney next week

Iran fired off a coupl’a missiles at The UAE this week. They fell into the sea. Iran says…It never happened. 🤣

The UAE cut-off all commerce/trade with Iran as of Tuesday…which is nice.

Goes to show that Iran is the world’s problem.  Without escalating to ww3, there are many countries who would be wise to help eliminate the problem. It’s already set in motion.  It’s clear to me now that Iranians love their theocracy and mis treating women. so regime change is futile but take away their only leverage. How to do so, I don’t know
