I disagree on both points.

So do I. I think the Dems will likely take the House, barely miss in the Senate. And Trump will still be president with veto power for 2+ more years.

But the Pubs are likely not going to be able to pass a damn thing now, and we'll have endless House trials on Trump.

I would gladly trade places. I've never seen the Grand Canyon. In all the years of traveling I did earlier in my career, except once, on a trip back from Cali when we drove about 60 miles south of the South Entrance. I don't recall passing through much of Arizona, so I must have been asleep. It's gorgeous in pictures; I imagine it's breathtaking in person.

Also, where are the pics??????

He did what no other POTUS had the balls to do for the last 50 years; he put a huge dent in their nuclear arms ambitions. I'm guessing you are OK with the leading supporter of state-sponsored terrorism across the entire globe having nukes when those fanatics don't care one jot about MAD?

Bingo. This stupid **** is going to wreck things for a lot of Americans. Israel doesn't need our help.

God and people who value our alliance beg to differ. Are you suggesting we abandon the only reliable ally we have in the ME?

Actually, he's finishing a war started by Iran back in 1979. Both of you have bought into leftist and anti-Semitic propaganda.

They didn't need our help is my point. I have no problem if Israel wipes all their enemies off the map. That's their battle.

A tiny little island in the middle of hostile and violent neighbors who want America to be destroyed along with Israel doesn't need our help? Just the intel developed by the MOSSAD is worth the alliance.

This might be the greatest post in the history of social media.

No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism:

You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like.

Bro.

You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai.

You live in a constitutional republic.

Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested.

The modern left's definition of fascism:

You love your country? Fascist.

You want to enforce the border? Racist.

You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot.

You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow.

Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left.

But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country.

But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them.

Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected.

Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin.

Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao.

Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon.

Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII.

Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini.

Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign.

Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote.

But Trump is the king. Okay buddy.

You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours.
And they have you in the streets carrying their water.

The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned.

No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968.

Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote.

During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant.

But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression.

The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration.

Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check.

That's how you keep power without wearing a crown.

Biden built a censorship machine.

Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire."

They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho...

Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley.

And it doesn't stop at speech.

The extreme left justifies taking children from families.

Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene.

The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father.

Same playbook.

During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital.

But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously.

$2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings.

January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings.

Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided.

Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated.

CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up.

75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable.

Liberals who went to Trump rallies: "I never felt unsafe." "The experience changed me." They say.

Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated.

One side talks. The other side screams.

The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched

Their stated purpose in their own words: "Revolution." Not reform. But Marxism.

500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs.

The signs were ready before you were even angry.

AND its all coming again .... if the left gain any power.

VOTE RED RED RED on November 3rd

This is being mocked by them. Because of their intense conditioning, they are unable to recognize the danger that is directly in front of them. Even now, when it's safe to openly express their agenda, idiots like that one ^ refuse to accept that their party has undergone a coup and is now led by the most radical elements the left has ever produced in this nation.

I'VE BEEN SAYING IT, DARN IT! AINT I BEEN SAYING IT?? For years now, ever since 2008 when we elected an actual Islamic-sympathizing socialist. I've been laughed at and ridiculed for sounding the alarm. And now I'm watching my vindication play out in plain sight for all of us to see for ourselves. And their base STILL votes out of blind fealty to the cut to which they all belong. The idiots are cheering on their own destruction as well as ours.

So much for having me on ignore. And yes, I'm aware of our meddling in Iran. Doesn't excuse the IRGC being at war with us for over 47 years.

Yep, also doesn't excuse them for murdering 120,000-150,000 of their own people. But hey, orange mad bad, right?

Of all the points made in the ridiculously awesome post... this one stands out far and away, and is actually the root of all our problems:



"Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected."

Yep, it's almost like it's designed to function that way. Keep us pissed off at each other while they stay in power.

I have no problem with Trump trying to take out the number one sponsor of terrorism on the planet. Yes, the Dems used that to their advantage. So be it. This is but one midterm. Power shifts regularly. If Iran is stopped, occasional Congressional power shifts are a OK compromise, imo.

Needed to be done. Should have been done year ago by past administration but they only enabled Iran and made this year's actions necessary, imo. As I said, election results ebb and flow, power changes hands frequently, Iran being the world largest state sponsor of terrorism needed to end. It's not over. I hope Trump finishes the job.
