War with Iran

[Uncle Rico]

Consider, for a moment, that some very important people will be made more wealthy by all of this incompetence.

The greatest grift in American history playing out in front of our eyes.

[Billy Hoyle]

Not only the most corrupt administration in American history, the most incompetent.

I disagree with calling them "incompetent." They are a kleptocracy there to enrich themselves, their families, and friends...and they've done just that in ways that would have made Central American and African dictators gawk in amazement.

BTW, if any of you were at MU during the mid to late 90s you would have been classmates with the daughters of Nicaraguan president Arnaldo Aleman, who engaged in similar actions when he was elected. The difference being Nicaraguan courts actually did something about it.

Competent in corruption, incompetent in leadership

sorry. The good old days when everyone wasn't armed with a camera at all times, and what happened at Murph's, Heg's, the Gym, etc., stayed there.

The entire family has been banned from entering the US.

Well, they are incompetent in running a functioning government, which is what you get when your only selection criteria is 100% loyalty.

But yes, you are right, they are *extremely* competent in grift and corruption.

Hence...

Trump administration quietly shifts $352m in federal funds for White House ballroom

"No taxpayer money for the ballroom" was just as true as "we must destroy Iran's ballistic missile capability"

[Uncle Rico]

Speaking of incompetence.

Amazing. We live in Effen Bizarro America.

But really, blame Biden and antifa for this outbreak.

[WellsstreetWanderer]

Wow! Its amazing how much TDS exists here

sad glad i dont visit often because i dont dwell in echo chambers

[NCMUFan]

I blame Trump for ruining MU82's life.

I have no idea what "TDS" means.

But this entire episode with Iran was pretty obviously a disaster.

[Hards Alumni]

It isn't TDS to say that this was a historic blunder of a war.  It is an absolute fact.

Also, you dwell in a different echo chamber.  A very very stupid one.

[Uncle Rico]

Ah, yes.  When all else fails, "TDS".

There isn't any defending this action, so deflect to criticizing the critics.

"Echo chambers"

Defend this war, the result, the MOU, and the past four months.  Go for it.

Defend the corruption.  Defend the incompetence.  I'll listen.

[NCMUFan]

Yup, lots of knee jerking.
Nothing thought out.
The only positive is it exposes our shortcomings and that Iran was ready.

[MU82]

The Trump Deification Syndrome-afflicted cultists always resort to one of two (or both) "defenses" of their indefensible cult leader: "TDS" and/or "Yeah, but Biden ... "

It's all they have, and I get it. If one worships The Worst President Ever, there are no logical arguments to explain support for his inept, corrupt, cruel and racist deeds and words.

whom among us didn't struggle with clasps at one point in our lives? Granted, we were trying to unclasp them.

Could be great news if there will be fewer secret service agents.

[Pakuni]

Bad news, haters. Iran surrendered unconditionally (just ignore those 14 conditions).

[MU82]

Like a naughty 5-year-old, lying is always always always his default instinct.

[forgetful]

He won't get elected there...but he's very popular in Iran now.

This is untrue. In Iran, he is not popular at all. He was, but the ridiculous war eroded any sense of trust/respect for the US president.

He does retain popularity amongst members of the Iranian diaspora, who aren't having to live in Iran right now.

Trump strengthened resolve around the Iranian regime, and damaged the image of the US amongst Iranians.

A colossal failure in every aspect.
