Did you happen to read what Trump said about Iran and California?

[msc545]

If you didn't happen to read it, here it is:

"It’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe,” Trump said. “They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay, and it’s going to be over very soon. It's essentially almost over with, and they might keep going a little longer. You know, they always say they have a big threshold for pain. They need it.”

What are your thoughts about this?

[WestofNowhere]

Yes let Iran attack the fourth largest economy in the world and 1st in the U. S. Great idea. Not that Trump knows this because he's a fucking idiot. . . a braindead babbling cretin. And then his MAGA cultists clapped. That tells you how demented these people are.

[MrChinaski]

A sitting President laughing at, indeed encouraging, the murder of 10 million Americans, and yet still he has 34% approval.

[NathanDavis]

yep... that's America right there

sad but true...

it used to be "who cares about a random small nation in Latin America... a small price to pay for our win"

"who cares about these random villages in the African jungle... better them than us, we still win"

the USA would do this over and over all around the world..., well, guess what, they done it enough around the world, so the USA itself is also the world

the people who ALLOW Trump to express this... are the people who could not give a fuck about any of you, left or right...

[NathanDavis]

and it doesn't really matter if you are Left, or Right or Independent... or don't vote at all

if you're still American you did benefit the same... from the USA government ruining the lives of people elsewhere...

[Ill_made_Knight]

it would in fact, produce a measure of "consent" to act among many Americans

[msc545]

How do you expect anyone to stop Trump from doing it?

[NathanDavis]

don't worry about it... lol

nobody will actually nuke out California... especially San Diego

San Diego forces and bases, readiness alone... could defeat Iran

trust your people... lmao

[NathanDavis]

Trump is just full of BS rhetoric, senile nonsense... same as his diapers

[Ill_made_Knight]

true, but he is also cunning and cruel. It's true Iran hasn't the capability to nuke SoCal. but that sure doesn't slow down tRump spitballing it

[NathanDavis]

@Ill_made_Knight but that was exactly when the Republicans put Trump in there...

to be a narcissistic clown... that completely erases any line between decency and normalness

and guess what... everyone fell for it... right in the trap

and now we all blame HIM... instead of us playing along while ignoring the really problematic people THOSE IN POWER, who by the way happen to be also in that infamous list... from than infamous island...

[Ill_made_Knight]

True... and they've done the job of dividing most admirably I must say. I remember Nixon. The difference here is the support system. His party threw him away. Not so with these current R's.

[shish_kebab]

He said that high gas prices were a small price to pay to keep the world safe. Target's like San Diego and Los Angeles were just examples of where Iran could hit, if they had the capability.

Perhaps his speech wasn't the most eloquent in the world, but do you remember a guy named, Joe biden? Could you even understand what he said without an interpreter doing sign language?

I know that you hate conservatives but you have to cut Trump some slack on this. He doesn't want the United States to be nuked by Iran, and you know that to be true.

[msc545]

I don't know what he wants, and I don't think you know either. I'm not a mind reader, and I don't think you are. Trump is a very sick man, and what he wants may not make a lot of sense.

[shish_kebab]

I'm afraid of an open border that Biden allowed, to let murderers and rapists cross into our country.

Explain to me how that's a partisan thing.

If you were in the market for a person for daycare for your child, what questions would you ask them.

How open-minded would you be?
Would you let Clancy babysit your kids?

[msc545]

Look, I never ordered, and there was no open border. That is simply a lie. If you work at the border to see how many people are crossing, you wouldn't necessarily know that, but I think you should not accept that sort of lie. People that did cross over were not murderers and rapists. Many of them work in the area where I live now, and they're not murdering or raping anybody. What they are doing is jobs that no American would do. You get hired by employers who don't want to pay the legal rate for the sort of work that they're doing.

[lightbulb27]

This is what is amazing and so frustrating. Can't agree on basic facts or realities on the border. There must be something very different in the news feeds, interpretation of such. You saw what you saw when visited the border but I saw and met large volumes of migrants in NYC, all confirmed by the mayor of that democratic city and that of chicago. We've had people killed by migrants and injured, especially in car accidents. Nationally, you know the murders by a few. Majority, are just trying to lay low and work and live a better life. Many were Venezualan and now, can go back.

If can't agree on simple things, how any hope to interpret such videos? To even have a chance of interpreting what he says, you have to watch him unedited... if can find it un AI edited... who knows...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wefPGzG0Ypw

It's still not well said... he just rambles, that is not planned. It can be read different ways. But if you read the printed version, sounds like he's saying "go ahead and wipe them out". That's not what he's saying... he's saying in sum total... deal with Iran now and finally and pay the gas price so don't have the risk.

Granted, there's tons of BS in that speech, it's voting time... but he can actually stand up and BS for a long time, just rolling with all kinds of stuff. The prior guy had to be propped up and escorted off. The prior woman option wouldn't be a whole person, she'd be a democratically represented puppet of whomever bought the power to control her.

So choose your poison. Be good to have some better options.

And in my view yes, it's possible those cities and east coast cities could take a big hit by terrorists in our lifetimes.

[msc545]

Anyway, do you blame us for hating conservatives? All you people do is hoard money that you've stolen and make wars. What kind of reaction were you expecting from the rest of us?

[shish_kebab]

I'm a dirt poor conservative. Try harder. You are failing.
What are your pronouns?

[lightbulb27]

nah, always something to dislike. I suspect the root issue is the beliefs that go with most of them, not so much the other issues. That one, is a show stopper for you.

[purplepoppy]

The scary thing isn't Trump said that, it's people cheered. That means a line has been crossed where people feel it's OK, even their duty, to kill.

This wasn't a stupid remark by Trump, it was a calculated comment to see how his base would react to fellow Americans dying. You know you're in dangerous times when you know your countrymen would rejoice in an attack.

[msc545]

There has always been a certain percentage of people who are essentially like an available lynch mob. They wouldn't care who dies or what, as long as they got to watch it on TV. We have several people like that here on gag

[Ill_made_Knight]

@purplepoppy there was a robber baron of the gilded age called Jay Gould, railroad money. He once famously said he could hire half the working class to kill the other half. There are examples in the coal miner's fight to unionize of literal battles with death tolls. That sort of sentiment has always been here in some measure. Harder times magnify it... pretty extreme and about to get worse I'm afraid.

[Iron_Man]

Who MSC not me

[msc545]

@Iron_Man I agree. Not you.

[Iron_Man]

Thanks

[Ill_made_Knight]

Trump is PRAYING that Iran or some sleeper cell or Islamic terrorist does something horrific to Americans on a large scale, or inside America itself so that he can capitalize on the outrage and get that massive approval bump that George W got after 9/11 so he can keep the power just as it is through mid terms.

[goaded]

Why would Iran do what Trump wants? They're far more likely to attack something he likes, like a Trump property.

But yes, imagine a Democratic president joking that it wouldn't matter if even one American died?

Meantime, five dead of measles in PA.

[Sevenpointfive]

he's just saying that taking out gaza and the west bank is like taking out l. a. and san diego. that it would be small price to pay. that it's not a big deal. he's drawing a parallel that doesn't make sense to anyone but me.

[CaptainSmartass]

He says all sorts of things he doesn't mean. He's just a really scary version of a creepy granddad.

Simples...

[888theGreat]

Yes, like Iran is doing him a favor if they destroyed California because it is a blue state. San Diego is prob mostly Republicans .

[Pterodon]

The only thing that needed changed was Iran needed to take out San Francisco instead of San Diego

[moddy_the_mod]

My thought is that the left is again showing what utter idiots they are.

[Iron_Man]

Yes he’s just making an examples. Don’t worry he’s not gonna let the Iranians come after you in Los Angeles. You’re going to miss him when he retires

[msc545]

No, this illustrates his incredibly poor judgment and impaired thinking. Worries me a lot more than anything about this. So far, he's not been able to stop the Iranians from doing anything, so I think if this doesn't happen, it's going to be because the Iranians have relatively good judgment, particularly when compared to Trump.

[msc545]

When he retires or dies, or whichever it is, I'm going to be vastly relieved that he didn't kill us.

[shish_kebab]

All the more reason to disarm Iran.

[msc545]

@shish_kebab no, actually, Iran has never attacked anybody with nuclear weapons or threatened them with nuclear weapons. You want that? You would be much better off disarming the U. S.

[shish_kebab]

So you want Iran to have nukes? Really?

[msc545]

@shish_kebab Yeah, I actually do want them to have nukes because that will keep the U. S. from constantly attacking them. North Korea developed nukes for exactly the same reason, and since that time, the U. S. has left them alone. Think of the nukes as an insurance policy.

[shish_kebab]

I not only agree with you I posted a question about it on here. I also want Iran to have nukes. The first country they will attempt to nuke will be Israel. And Iran better get that right because if not, Israel will end them. Then we will have World war III for us all to enjoy. Then we won't have to worry about those high gas prices.

[msc545]

@shish_kebab Neither Iran nor Israel is stupid enough to engage in this sort of behavior because they know the consequences as well as we do. Why do you think it is that, with the exception of the U. S., no other country has used a nuclear weapon, even though they have them. Paradoxically enough, nuclear weapons bring peace.

[shish_kebab]

I walked to school with a backpack and a lunch box. Israeli children have the same lunch and backpack but they also need to bring a gas mask. Why do you suppose that is?

[msc545]

@shish_kebab I have no idea. Why is it relevant? Well, wait, maybe it's because their parents fear a chemical attack by somebody, or maybe they fear a chemical attack by their own government, which seems more likely.

[shish_kebab]

Forget about the parents. Do you think Trump is going to nuke you in the near future? I saw the video and Trump was joking. I don't know why the left can't understand his jokes.

[msc545]

@shish_kebab no, I don't think Trump is going to nuke anybody. I doubt the U. S. military would let him get away with it. However, Trump was not joking, and that was not a joke. Is very naive to think otherwise. Trump does not make jokes.

[shish_kebab]

Mr. Msc

A complete hearsay moron accused Trump of trying to strangle two, tough secret service agents like Iron Man.

If you were an 80 year old guy would you want to attempt to strangle a tough dude like Iron Man?

Do you really believe that this happened?

Or do you believe that the Democrats lied about it?

Trump, in all of his hilarious fashion, told the story and admitted to strangling two buff-ass dudes like Iron Man.

Do you believe that actually happened, or do you believe that Trump was joking?

Let me give you a hint: when Trump told the story the audience was crying in laughter because of his humor!

When Trump talked about Iran nuking San Diego and Los angeles, he was being tongue- in-cheek.

You're okay with a man with dementia, but now you think that Trump is going to Nuke his own country.

[msc545]

@shish_kebab okay, at this point, I have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't read anything about anybody accusing Trump of trying to strangle anyone. I did, however, read that Trump, in fact, did talk about Iran meeting in San Diego and Los Angeles, and I don't see it as tongue-in-cheek. I don't think that Trump threatened to do it himself, but I certainly think that he threatened that Iran was going to do it, presumably with his influence or something of that sort. I very clearly read it as him saying that Iran would do it if he didn't somehow win that war, which, of course, he's not going to be able to do.

[Iron_Man]

He’s trying to tell you that I’m very powerful and I’m untouchable. It’s like Trump trying to strangle somebody like me. It’s not gonna happen.

[shish_kebab]

Iron,

Back when January 6th happened, the Democrats held hearings to see if Trump was guilty. There were no Republicans at the hearing because it was all fake.

They brought in a hearsay witness named Cassidy Hutchinson.

A hearsay witness is somebody who didn't witness anything!

She just testified that she heard something from someone who heard from someone who heard from someone.

She testified that Trump tried to strangle two secret service agents on January 6th. 😂😂😂

Is the dumbest thing you ever heard. The secret service agents are young and tough and Trump isn't stupid.

But rather than deny it, Trump made a huge joke about it in front of a big crowd.

The crowd was laughing hysterically at how stupid the hearing was and the Democrats were.

Trump painted a hilarious picture of how he was brawling with two buff secret service agents in his limousine.

It was all a complete lie and the secret service agents in his limousine testified it was all a lie.

That is what I was talking about. I can try to find the video of him joking about it if you want.

[Iron_Man]

@shish_kebab I know it was a big joke. It’s fake.

[shish_kebab]

Yes..

[Kelly6]

@msc545 Just spreading fear.

After all Iran don't have capabilities and neither they want to.

[msc545]

You didn't know any of that. You're just guessing.
