>>1500601
Surprise!

>>1500665
Not really.

Gas prices will continue to go up. They won't allow Americans to savor that "extra" tax return money.

Israel and corporations need it!!!

>>1500768
Elon and Don Jr. are savoring their tax returns. That was the point of Trump's tax cuts for billionaires.

>>1500601
OK but can anyone explain what the fuck drove up gas prices under Biden?

>>1500790
Russia invading Ukraine.

>>1500791
I'm going to need a source on that.

>>1500795
>In March 2022, President Biden announced a ban on U.S. imports of Russian oil, gas, and coal, declaring that defending freedom would cost American families higher prices at the gas pump. Biden termed these increases "Putin's price hike", citing the need to damage Russia's economy while acknowledging the domestic economic impact.

>>1500800
So, did we start importing Russian oil again when Trump took over? Or did Biden do so without planning?

>>1500803
>we

>>1500804
Alright, fuck you.

>>1500800
The majority of gas price increases under Biden began in 2021, so your cope isn't in sync with the timeline.
In fact all energy prices went up, and we've never received an explanation, or apology.
Just more promises about not being Trump.

>>1500806
why can't you stay on topic

>>1500807
This is on topic. The topic is, "Vote for Democrats".
Now's your chance, make me a believer.

>>1500806
Biden was rational and conservative instead of reckless. The price of gas increased but the economy absorbed it just like now. Here's a valve they each turn:

Trump says the higher costs and suffering he's caused Americans with his war mongering isn't his problem.

>>1500809
What? Stop talking to me you fucking copefag.
You lied to millions of voters who wanted nothing to do with you ever again.
Now eat shit.

He's right you know.

Great, he's wrong. Fix this shit you stupid old bitch.

>>1500811


it's getting mad.

>>1500817
It's unfixable at this point. Maybe if we'd done what Spain had done and invested into solar instead of trying to squash it, or maybe if we hadn't jumped when Netanyahu said jump to begin with, we wouldn't be in the find out phase, but now we're just going to have to tough it out. Iranians smell weakness, and they aren't going to back down. We might be able to fuck them up militarily (and considering how effective drones have been shown to be for defensive wars, that's a moderately big if), but strategically, they hold the cards.

>>1500817
Trump pissing you people off is the reason I will never regret voting for him.

Interesting. Is this the official party platform?

>>1500820
Trump is a cancer destroying the American empire. This is not necessarily a bad thing.

>>1500820
No, you being too monumentally stupid to understand the effects of his presidency is why you will never regret voting for him.

Congrats, dumbass, you let him fuck your ass so he can use you like a condom to fuck the rest of us.

You're still the one covered in shit here.

>I vote for anyone who says they're Christian, no matter how obviously bullshit that is. I own a trump Bible and love to read the part about not turning my father's house into a house of merchandise. Just kidding, I can't fucking read.
>I am just going to blame everything bad that happens on the last administration because I have no concept of cause and effect or abject permanece. It's so weird, when a cock goes in my ass it just disappears;meaning I'm not gay, right!?!?

Is a strawman from a simpleton who
blames everyone but the people in charge the official party platform.

You know what, yes. Yes it is. You're right. It's not that you're a moron, everyone else is just too stupid to see how brilliant your moronic ideas are. Enjoy the chocolate milk buddy.

>>1500860
you're talking to a trans obsessed dementia patient

>>1500861
Trump is a dementia patient that dyes his hair and spray-paints his paint like a self-obsessed woman but I don't think he identifies as female, despite acting like a woman.

>>1500823
naive and shallow take on the situation.

>>1500860
It sure is

>>1500863
Trump and Biden really are emblematic of the last gasps of a dying empire. Old man of the New World indeed.

>>1500897
80+ year olds refusing to let go, rather than training COMPONENT WHITE MEN to replace them as has happened in every generation propr to this.

Wow, seems like the old ways were way smarter. But they keep trying to force DEI down our throat. Don't forget the GOP ran 2 Indians for president last time, one of them a woman. And they still forced in the first Indian second lady, oh and our treasury Secretary is a raging homosexual (he had a pretty pink mansion too.)

So yeah, both sides fucked up big time. I like that BAPTIST WHITE MAN running in Texas, regardless of his political leanings, because its NICE SEEING WELL SPOKEN WHITE MAN RUNNING THINGS AGAIN.

We got enough homosexuals, jews and DEI's in positions they don't belong. Including Trumps admin (Wiles is an alcoholic woman, Miller is a Russian Jew, Bennet its the homo, etc.)

>>1500812
Trump cares more about the price of oil than he does about waging war properly

>>1500819
As it stands militarily the US have withdrawn from their bases around the Gulf and have not been able to enter their navy into the Gulf. I think the Americans think there’s some scoreboard like in COD a kill/death ratio or some other retarded shit that makes them think they’re winning, but they haven’t gained anything whereas Iran has denied them some things they did have, like all those abandoned bases

>>1500925
>I think the Americans think there’s some scoreboard like in COD a kill/death ratio or some other retarded shit that makes them think they’re winning,
Killing Saracens is its own reward for Hegseth.

Something that gets undersold too is that the Iranians have a huge morale advantage over the US and Israel at the moment. Trump has neglected to sell the war to the military, and a lot of them are confused about why they might be trading their lives over there. Meanwhile, opening the war with the killing of all those schoolchildren and threatening civilian power plants and desalination plants, along with this clearly being a war the US/Israel started, gives the Iranians a clear focus for why their war is necessary. Casus belli and propaganda are extremely important in warfare. You want to convince the enemy population that surrendering to your demands is reasonable, while convincing your population that they need to stay in the fight. You aren't going to do that by vice signalling about your barbarity and cruelty every single day, like Hegseth has been doing, or flip-flopping between whining and not giving a shit, like Trump.

>>1500931
I wonder if the Iranians are going to spin the NK protests tomorrow.

>>1500925
>As it stands militarily the US have withdrawn from their bases around the Gulf and have not been able to enter their navy into the Gulf.
Source on this? I know the New York times reported some bullshit, while including this little caveat: "with the exception of fighter pilots and crews operating and maintaining warplanes and conducting strikes."

Dispersing military so they're harder to hit does not equal we've abandoned bases like Al Udeid, Ali Al Salem, etc. By that logic, we completely abandoned our bases just before the Gulf War in '91 started their ground campaign.

>>1500932
Maybe? It goes against their internal propaganda about how all Americans are degenerate bloodthirsty evangelicals and atheists who want to eat their babies. At the same time, regimes love to show the internal turmoil of their enemies, so they might spin as the spoiled, satanic, weak willed, fat Americans turning against their own government when they're inconvenienced just a modicum. "We could easily destroy them all if we push harder" and all.

Externally, they'll say this reinforces how the American people are not their enemies, and how Americans need to take back their rogue and undemocratic government, restore some sanity, and make peace (on Iran's terms) which is what they have been saying. To further target the hearts and minds, they would stress the commonality between Iranians and Americans, and how this is a war against the American government, not its people (who clearly don't want it). So far, they've been pretty decent at the propaganda/meme war, but that's probably because America isn't even trying and Bibi seems to be purposefully trying to turn the world against Jews to combat the emigration crisis in Israel.

Iranian air strikes have forced American soldiers to evacuate several bases in the Middle East.
Troops are now working from nearby hotels and office spaces, which could endanger both themselves and civilians.

Iran has struck 104 American and regional bases, according to a rough analysis of geolocated strikes by Fabian Hinz, an open-source analyst.
American satellite firms have delayed the release of imagery by at least 14 days, making it hard to assess the damage.
But The New York Times reported that many of the 13 American bases across Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates had become close to being uninhabitable as a result of persistent strikes.
Of all the bases, Ali Al Salem in Kuwait has suffered most hits – a total of 23 – according to Mr Hinz. Camp Arifjan and Camp Buehring follow, with 17 and six geolocated strikes respectively.
Satellite imagery from these three bases shows damage to hangars, communications infrastructure, satellite equipment, fuel stores, and – following a strike on Ali Al Salem on Wednesday – a large warehouse.

Iran has hit bases in the UAE 17 times, Bahrain 16 times, Iraq seven times, Qatar six times, Saudi Arabia six times and Jordan twice, according to Mr Hinz’s “conservative” assessment.

Turns out old white men are incompetent as fuck given the state of the country.
Good job proving your race based system is a total disaster.

>>1500993
>Troops are now working from nearby hotels and office spaces, which could endanger both themselves and civilians.

Someone should look up if this is another war crime along with the no quarters and double tapping fishermen clinging to wreckage.

>>1501035
>it's a war crime for military to check into hotels
Well shit, we've been doing that for hundreds of years.

>>1501037
Checking in to hotels =/= operating from hotels. Don’t be obtuse.

>>1501038
We "operated" from hotels before, during and after the Gulf War. Why wasn't Schwarzkopf brought up on war crimes?

>>1501039
I really want to get Trump is all.
Please just let me get him.
I've spent the last decade twisting every fact, telling half-truths, I've abandoned all my morals, and my actions conflict with my stated beliefs, but I really need to get Trump!

>>1501039
If they’re going to operate from hotels they should expect those hotels to be targeted

>>1501066
>It's normal for a sitting president to increase their personal wealth by over a billion dollars, to start a war without congressional approval, use executive orders to illegally overreach the limitations of the office and try to rule like a king. I love that he rapes women and implies he likes underage girls. I have a giant hole in my head, which is a fun toy considering what a massive faggot I am.

>>1501068
And they probably do. It's not a fucking warcrime to work from a hotel. I know you hate Trump so much, like >>1501066 admitted, that you're willing to stretch definitions, but didn't you fucking people learn this lesson with the lawfare under Biden and the attempt to ban him from running?

Just call a fucking spade a spade. It's not a warcrime for soldiers to use a hotel, and more importantly those bases are not fucking abandoned. The mission critical people are still working on those bases while the non-essential personnel - admin, finance, and all the other fucking shoe clerks - have been moved off base to disperse everyone.

What kind of Fox watching boomer would still believe this in 2026?

Better to start prosecuting now to discourage the behavior then.
Unless you're weak on crime.

>>1501252
>it's a whataboutism to point out how the thing I'm calling a warcrime isn't a warcrime
I don't think you know what that word means, retard.

>>1501206
The problem with it is that there are civilians in the same building and they’re effectively human shields, war crimes or not it’s incredibly fucking stupid to put civilians in the potential firing line in this manner
