Taco Thursday! (Why is this administration always telling their adversaries what they are and aren't doing publicly? Oh yeah, they are all idiots, that's why.)

Everybody wasting their time reminding people that Iran has no long range capabilities to hit the US, when they should focus on make sure Trump doesn't do a "False Red Flag" operations on two cities of California, he is desperate, deranged, and fully capable of doing this, I wouldn't put it past him

Not sure "the war will resume after the midterms" is helpful to the GOP? I mean, if "I am purposely keeping the war out of the news so everybody stops thinking about it, but I'll get right back at it after the midterms" is a winning strategy at all, it only works if you *don't* announce it. Jesus.

I hear a number of things here, not the least of which is they know attacking before the election would destroy any chances for Reps. But also that they will attack before the new Congress is seated.

So Donald is making it clear: his pointless war with Iran is tied *solely* to domestic politics—and has nothing to do with Iran having a nuclear weapon. I thought he wasn’t supposed to say that part out loud.

He’s built a whole government full of people dedicated to hiding the truth and promoting lies, and then he blunders into saying exactly what his motives are. He’s weirdly honest about his motives.

Iran never had a nuclear weapon. Never had a deliver system for it. How is that they will never one? Does the Pig intend to bomb them in perpetuity? Nuke the country until no one remains in the country. Obtain an agreement you know like the one Obama had and Trump trashed...

I'm sure there's some dementia going on. After all, Daddy had Alzheimer's. But I don't underestimate how psychopathic and stupid he has been his whole life. What's mostly different now is that there is no one to tell him no, and he is running with that. Just untethered from all prior restraints.

He must be aware of how badly things could go pear shaped and is simply postponing making his stupid mistakes until after the voting?

Oil flowing serves him, but Iran doesn't want to negotiate with him. He needs to end this farce and call back the troops and never listen to Netanyahu again. 🤔🙄

The number of tankers traversing the Strait of Hormuz has dropped to the lowest in 2 months amid renewed attacks on vessels in the waterway as only 7 commodity carriers traversing the strait on Tuesday. This was the lowest figure since late July. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Haven't most of the attacks against Iran occurred while we have specifically said we wouldn't? During initial negotiations, during the ceasefire, it seems like Iran should be bracing for immediate attack.

Both of these statements cannot be true. Ship transits through the Strait of Hormuz dropped to 7 commodity vessels on Tuesday, October 6, 2026—the lowest daily count since July 23. - Reuters U.S. Confirms 20 Million Barrels Moving Through Hormuz, Rejecting Iran’s Blockade Claims

Pausing new attacks while diplomacy continues is good. But why is Election Day the deadline? Decisions about bombing another country should turn on national security, diplomacy and the threat to Americans—not whether voters have already cast their ballots.

Well he already confessed to bombing them again after the midterms, so how exactly is this supposed to be a selling point...? 🤷‍♀️🙄

Same jackass: “We never tell our enemy what our limitations are, what we are willing and what we are unwilling to do." “America's enemies must never know our plans or believe they can wait us out.” “I don't want to tell the enemy how I am thinking.”

He's lying of course. Iran has clearly stated that they will not negotiate with terrorists. They soundly defeated the US fair and square, they control the Strait, and it will be reopened when Trump and Natanyahu have been locked up. It is that simple.

1. Theres no reason to believe a word of this and 2. Isn't this the idiot who keeps saying he wont rule anything out and he would never announce what we're going to do or not do....

If military action is unjustified before November 3, what would make it justified on November 4?

And we can count on Iran to cower behind the toilet trembling in fear to not risk rubbing his ugly face in poopy… What a spectacularly STUPID president.

Why would Iran even need a nuclear weapon? Trump is already doing the demolition from inside the White House. No missiles, no warheads, no invasion required. America elected its own weapon of mass destruction.

Which means he's gonna do a massive strike on Nov 3rd in the hopes the govt will put us on high alert giving them the excuse to send the National Guard to (blue) polling stations. Ruby red districts will curiously be free of any "threat"
