Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

"Targets included missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines. U.S. Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire."

The strikes come just hours after Trump said negotiations with Iran were "proceeding nicely."

How do ceasefires work.

Always happens when the market’s closed. Drag up the war then say it’ll end by the end of the week. Hope no one notices the Epstein files. Repeat.

Your missing the Trump and pals buy/sell shares steps

What's most fucked up about this is it is strictly 100% about manipulating the markets and making money, that's it.

And that it happens every fucking Tuesday.

You mean the deal that only Trump and his henchmen said was going swimmingly but nobody else saw or heard any detail about fell through? Gee, color me surprised...

[–] IamSparticles@lemmy.zip 22 points 1 week ago (3 children)

He's like a school kid that didn't finish an essay. He keeps saying he'll turn it in tomorrow. Then tries to lie and say he did turn it in but the teacher hasn't graded it yet. Then when that doesn't pan out somehow the teacher lost it. It can't possibly be his fault.

[–] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 11 points 1 week ago

A lot of rich people act exactly like that, they know their lawyers will get them out of any trouble they really get into. A lot of times other folks just stop arguing with them and they get their way because they just kept the lie up in such a delusional way, it's easier to walk away.

Isn’t pretending to have peace talks while bombing them a war crime or something

I'm seeing in the billionaire-owned media that they were "self-defense" strikes. SMH.

Every week is like groundhog day. Trump declares victory, claims that peace talks are underway, and then they drop more bombs, without any deal being reached.

It amazes me that there are still people gullible enough to believe that this isn't another forever war for us and that gas isn't going back down any time soon.

Any media that's pretending to be honest needs to, if they're going to quote Trump, either precede or proceed the quote with a disclaimer that he lies about everything. That's basic integrity. Otherwise, you're becoming the media that's complicit.

Expecting any other behavior at this point is light-years beyond foolish. The word of the president has been proven useless time and time again. He has made it now impossible to deal with the US, as any deals are subject to be altered at his petty whims. We saw this with the tariffs and we will continue to see it.

This is it, the reckoning we have all suspected was on the way. The inevitable backlash of all America’s sins consolidated under one presidency. One violent, insular ignoramus to rule them all. A completely dysfunctional government laid bare for all to see. Decades of “full spectrum dominance” brought to its inevitable end. No nation has ever existed solely by the power of it’s military dominance. Every nation that has attempted to do so has fallen.

Sounds like Iran grabbed him by the pussy

[–] ikidd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago

The thing that amazes me is that media even bothers to report what Trump says about anything. The chances he's lying is only exceeded by the chance that he has absolutely no fucking clue what he's talking about.
