I don't see how we are ever going to get out of Cheeto's war with any dignity or security. Iran has power that they never exercised, and now they can and will use it to flex. They will absolutely make every effort to develop a nuclear weapon. It's such a mess, and no matter how much BS Cheeto spews, it's not going away.

TRUMP IS A MORON!! He has no idea what he's doing. He's suffering from dementia. He rants like a spoiled child who doesn't get his way. He doesn't know how to be a competent leader. The administration is a rudderless ship. The world looks at us as a joke. We have lost all respect, nobody can trust us and our enemies are loving it. We're getting pushed backwards to a. era where if you're not white you don't matter. ICE is the Gestapo and prices continue to rise. The ignorant racist mouthbreathers(MAGA) winning. Can November get here faster. This really has to be stopped!!

Sure would be nice to not have tRump's photo all over media sites. I am so sick of seeing its image multiple times a day. Anything...except his image, please.

To get a better prospective on what is going wrong, substitute every instance of "Trump" in the column with "Troop". At the front of the troop is a tea-totalling drunk who happens to be an extremely poor marksman, but has the troop's only cache of weapons.

His skills are knowing where to find and operate the triggers and launch buttons, but not how to aim the round in the correct direction. The rest of the troop is not preoccupied the tea-totaller's accuracy, Its job is to find enough taxpayer's wealth to acquire the enormous amount of weaponry demanded by the hapless, apparently inebriated, leader, Mission accomplished??????????

"Wresting control of the Strait of Hormuz from Iran would mean invading Iran with American ground troops. Ground troops would mean U.S. casualties well beyond the 13 service members killed since the start of hostilities in February. It is doubtful the country would countenance such an escalation"

Hey Dan you mean the country that has already "countenanced":

The cold blooded killing of Goode, Pretti, Salgado and the latest innocent in Maine. by Ice?

The attack on the Capital on Jan6th and the pardon of hundreds of violent seditionists.

The suppression of voting rights.

The grifting of $2.2 billion by Trump so far. with more to come.

The Trump and DOJ and FBI covering up the Epstein files, statutory rapes, and Trump's involvement.

Blanche as head of the Department of obstruction of justice

Patel as the head of the new Federal Bureau of investigating Democrats.

Hegseth firing all the competent women and black leaders from the military.

The list is endless and increasing daily. Right now with the corrupt partisan Republican Supreme Court, The Cowardly Democrats, and all the Republicans kissing butt and chanting in unison with right wing Billionaires and low IQ Maga voters "Our Trump, right or wrong".

Trump's whole Presidency is the perfect crime, and there is no way to stop him.

Our Congress is shameful! They need to do their elected responsibilities and fulfill their duties as outlined in Our Constitution. 47 is mad, but the majority of Congress is not and they should be able to counteract or prevent the president’s actions. The majority of them are cowards damming America and Americans.

And 'gut instinct' is no way to run a government or develop policy......

So disappointing Dan. Here I was waiting for your article on the resignation of Graham Platner from his campaign in Maine couple with your expose of the Maine Democratic Party who have obviously chosen to just replace him rather than letting the voters of Maine decide. Don’t you find it reprehensible that Maine will not hold another primary yet South Carolina has already announced a primary to replace Senator Graham? I’d love to read your opinion on this instead of your constant diatribe against President Trump. I don’t like war any more than you but Iran has to be neutralized and your article does not include any mention of the fact that they broke the cease-fire and will continue to negotiate in bad faith has they have done with every American President for 47 years. You need to wake up and realize that with a nuclear weapon they could start the end of the world but I guess you’d “rather” just denigrate the current President.

Norris, by U.S. intel, Iran is a long way from having a nuclear weapon. On the other hand trump is very close to the nuclear button. By his actions and his language, Trump continues to show that he is mentally unstable, which is a threat to our national security. Wake up Mr. Mcelroy.

And once again, it's Taco Tuesday. Not that this is a bad thing. Him backing away from his jingoist position of notifying Congress we were back at war (just yesterday?) is nothing I will complain about. But the vacillating and manipulation are truly perilous and unhinged..

Crazy like a fox? No, he’s just crazy

In 1900, many thought that Argentina would be the leading nation in the western hemisphere. They had an educated populous, natural resources, and a beneficial climate. Then Peron came along and Argentina never recovered. I fear Trump is our Peron times 10. The damage he is doing to our country is beyond belief.

Trump is a diabolical malignant narcissist who operates by gut instinct with zero restraint.

Why? Because he's never held accountable.

That's what makes him dangerous. Not dementia. Not incompetence. But pathology combined with impunity.

David Allen's avatar

Well, that and he thinks he's way smarter than he actually is, a typical trait of narcissists. It's one thing to not know and realize you don't know. It's quite another, and far more dangerous, to not know and THINK you know.

Trump is a diabolical bully: picks on our allies (sees them as weak), sucks up to Putin and Xi (can't bully them).

That's the bully's tell. Target the weak. Defer to the strong.

Pure cowardice.

Read a story the other day that the wounded coming out of the Iran war are not being listed as wounded on medical evacuation plane so you’re not getting the treatment they need, but also the manifest on the planes that are public knowledge are not true
