Remember when libs were doing the "theres always a tweet" thing with Trump every day?
Donald Trump doesn't. He didn't say HE didn't though. He clearly does, he's different. He's a more special boy. He can do whatever he wants. But not the Cheeto Trump, only Biden.
The adults are in the room and we shouldn't presume to have the intelligence to understand them.
I know I'll never fully understand a man who can say “you had to put on your windshield wipers to get, literally, the oil slick off the window,” in reference to refineries spewing out oil during their upbringing, yet continue to keep licking corporate boot
Well, that's not totally true, it's probably some unholy amalgamation of indifference, greed, belief in free market liberalism, and stupidity
Enough with that malarky jack! This ain't a war. This is just a routine missile strike on yet another middle eastern country! Heck, this ain't about actively defending the ability for our friends to finish comitting their geno... you know, the thing... defending themselves. It's about boats! And a bad bunch of boys who wanna play pirates by stealing our Iranian oil tanker, or you know, whatever. This would be a coast guard rescue if any of them could fly F-22s and all the targets we know about from helping the Saudis bomb them for years weren't on land. I'd be out there with 'em if these secret service guys would let me. Sailing to the rescue... wearing that orange lifejacket, wind blowing in my hair... god my dad could sail a boat! What's that...? Oh... uhmmm... my staff is making that motion to tell me to wrap it up. So I'll just say this... we'll win this war by this time next week. God bless America!
Do you have the video link, please? I'd like to put the transcript into context.
take us into war with Iran without Congressional approval
without the informed consent of the American people
Read: Donald Trump doesn’t know how to fight a war. But I know. I am the President who can win wars for America.
Democrats entire shtick in 2008 was “the Iraq War was a bumbling disaster, it’s time for the adults in the room to take charge and administer the war competently”
Well, Biden ended Covid and the masking requirement for libs.
It’s just different when the Adults in the Room are in charge.
That was more 2004 than 2008. Obama leaned heavily into avoiding war. So never trust democrats
Could be. I remember Obama saying that Iraq was the "dumb war" and that we needed to double down on Afghanistan.
By informed consent he meant “as long as the president informs people he consented to it, it’s fine”
Trump can only drone strike a single Iranian general, as a treat.
Is Joe doing the Trump suggestion where you can get reelected by starting a war?
Silly citizens, drone strikes and carpet bombing isn't war. It's profit protection measures of course. All the bombing will create jobs!
It's crazy how many times I've seen this post dusted off and reposted.
Trump was actually much less active internationally despite having John Bolton constantly whispering into his ear to glass the Middle East, which is honestly an accomplishment.
Trump on Bolton: "A total & unhinged WARMONGER, the red faced 'boiler ready to explode' was one of those very stupid voices that got us into the Middle East quicksand, Seven Trillion Dollars, & Millions of deaths later, NOTHING!" the former president went on.
That's a good one but my favorite was when he dunked on Jeb! for claiming "my brother kept us safe on 9/11" and Trump was just like "No he didn't, if he had kept us safe there wouldn't have been a 9/11"
Why would you comment this vague nonsense instead of just pointing out the assumptions you think are “bad”? You might say it “approaches infinity” for emphasis, but it actually doesn’t and I’m willing to bet your complaints can be contained in five points tops.
I like federation because it adds another layer to the dunk tank.
Come here and explain this or youre getting a commmunity ban. You have 6 hours.
Just want to say I got a kick out of this kind of combination comedy/moderation
Some say the mods are too powerful and I'm so glad they're right.
Thank you for your service
At the time there was widespread reliable reporting that Trump was contemplating going to actual (boots on the ground) war with Iran because of the bump a President usually gets in approval when we go to war.
If Trump had been contemplating (or doing) retaliatory strikes against Iran-supported terrorists, Biden would've been wrong to criticize Trump for thinking about bombing legitimate military targets.
We've unfortunately cultivated both a very strong and mostly unaccountable (to the rest of the world) military and a lot of enmity from Shia Muslims (not that the Sunnis love us or anything).
All that being said, Biden is a serious person who takes the job of President seriously, who takes the deployment of military power seriously, who definitely understands and considers the danger of escalation seriously. He took this action with the active participation of one ally (the UK) and probably in consultation with most of our closer allies. It was done in response to months of active attacks which could've hurt people and has diverted a lot of global trade traffic to go around South Africa.
Trump is not and never was serious about anything to do with the Presidency, he wanted to bomb Iran for his poll numbers, and wanted to leave NATO.
hope that helps.
Trump is not and never was serious about anything to do with the Presidency... and wanted to leave NATO.
Lmao.
Death to NATO
Trump wanted to leave NATO because he has no idea how US imperialism works, think of him as Homer Simpson pressing random buttons at the control room. Leftists hate NATO because it is the military arm of modern day imperialism. A "defensive alliance" that starts wars wherever it goes, and whose original staff members were actual 1940s German Nazis.
It was done in response to months of active attacks which could've hurt people and has diverted a lot of global trade traffic to go around South Africa.
So global trade is more important than Palestinian lives? You know what would've been a better way to get global trade back on track? To get Israel to stop committing genocide against Palestinians. One phone call from Biden telling Israel they won't get any more US ammunition, and Israel would be forced to stop it's genocide. If Biden was a "serious person" he would do just that. That's the whole reason the Houthi government of Yemen is carrying out the blockade in the first place. To put pressure on Israel, and the "international community" to stop the genocide of Palestinians.
So the answer is unironic "adults in the room" rhetoric. Wild.
The serious people in the room, making serious decisions, and getting serious shit done. Seriously
Actually true, Trump is too much of a narcissist to ever really be a nationalist
He took this action with the active participation of one ally (the UK) and probably in consultation with most of our closer allies
But not Congress or the American people, which is what he was criticizing Trump for.
I can't say I'm surprised at the absolute nothingburger of a response. It's precisely what you'd expect from a pathetic lib who has to perform mental gymnastics in order to defend his favorite war criminal. I never ever want to hear these fuckers accuse enemies of the state department of doing a genocide ever again, because I'll keep on reminding them how they're absolute monsters for defending and supporting the genocide against the Palestinian people, and I will do so until they kill themselves.
All that being said, Biden is a serious person who takes the job of President seriously, who takes the deployment of military power seriously, who definitely understands and considers the danger of escalation seriously.
Absolutely hilarious
@Egon@hexbear.net you gotta see this comment before it goes away. “Biden is a serious person who takes the job of President seriously” could be a new tagline for sure.
Please, I beg our beloved Communist dictatorship to make that tagline.
I honestly wish the mods would keep this shit up, it's such great dunking material!
If Trump had been contemplating (or doing) retaliatory strikes against Iran-supported terrorists, Biden would've been wrong to criticize Trump for thinking about bombing legitimate military targets.
The U.S. is actively supporting a genocide in the region and the only reason these “terrorists” are “threatening” the U.S. is because the former is trying to prevent shipments from getting to Israel. And it’s not “retaliatory,” the Houthis are retaliating against a genocide. Genuinely the “Iran support” is just nonsense, I could call a number of countries “US supported” and it would be more meaningful because they’re actual Nazis.
All that being said, Biden is a serious person who takes the job of President seriously, who takes the deployment of military power seriously, who definitely understands and considers the danger of escalation seriously.

Wow, these attacks could have hurt people? You know what else hurts people? Genocide you liberal dipshit. He did it to “protect the free flow of international commerce” per his own statement yesterday. Biden is a genocidal fascist, and when he dies I will personally place you in one of the immigrant concentration camps. Also concerning that NATO shit, read abt Gladio.
hope that helps
helps us tack down exactly how little thought and investigation you put into your positions.
may you apply such an inquisitive method before playing with live wires
You can say Biden is a hypocrite. He's committing war crimes and claims he's doing it in your name. You have no obligation to support or defend the actions of an imperial state.
You said it yourself, the US military is pretty much unaccountable. But by defending Biden, you're enabling that lack of accountability. Shia Muslims aren't the problem here.
It was done in response to months of active attacks which could've hurt people and has diverted a lot of global trade traffic to go around South Africa.
Oh no! Why would they do something that could've hurt people? Surely not to bar supplies going to directly aid the murder of tens of thousands of people. What a terrible thing to do. Someone could've gotten hurt.
Biden is a serious person who takes the job of President seriously, who takes the deployment of military power seriously
Serious people in the room, making serious decisions, seriously
Biden is a serious person who takes the job of President seriously
new tagline just dropped
Taking the US out of Nato would have been the most based thing any US president has ever done.
All that being said, Biden is a serious person who takes the job of President seriously
He’s so unserious about the presidency that Obama became irritated and confronted his advisors who are failing to execute a good reelection campaign.
Trump is not and never was serious about anything to do with the Presidency, he wanted to bomb Iran for his poll numbers
I don’t give a shit what their motives are because all of them result in the prolong genocide of people around the world, in this case, middle eastern people and specifically Muslims.
wanted to leave NATO.
This would’ve been the only good thing he did. But you’re stupid enough to think that the American empire will just let some clown unravel their work.
He took this action with the active participation of one ally (the UK) and probably in consultation with most of our closer allies
And in the UK, Rishi Sunak is facing criticism from his own party for going over Parliament's head on this. Just because he's found another head of state as bloodthirsty as he is doesn't magically make it justified.
All that being said, Biden is a serious person who takes the job of President seriously
hope that helps.
you tell 'em Jack. How dare they say I'm like the other Biden. Many people are saying. Very mean, very nasty people. And their saying it more and more. Into infinity. Infinity. Do you smell burnt toast?
Giving you the benefit of the doubt, you do realize Biden authorized bombing against Yemen today without seeking congressional approval right? He just did exactly what he ed Trump for doing.
Name one bad assumption "behind this meme."
-or-
Own up to not knowing what you were talking about. It's fine if you were in over your head, but don't duck out of a conversation you started.
Motherfucker doesn't even know what a meme is lmao
Fucking libs, god damn America
I don't think Biden was memeing, but then again I seemingly don't know the context as well as you do. Could you explain?
Meme? So you're saying Biden was trolling when he posted that tweet? That's brave of you to admit.
Do you eat shit?
You tried to make a smartass remark about a meme (that isn't even a meme) by invoking the mathematical field of asymptotics -- however, your understanding of asymptotics amounts to faintly remembering the phrase "approaches infinity," resulting in a Reddit-brained nonsense post. Delete your account.
Presidents are probably granted different authorities based on odd/even ssn or a similar detail. That's the current level of seriousness.
