One of the US states has required all schools to hold bibles that contain both testaments, the constitution, and Bill of rights. The only Bible that fits this criteria? The trump Bible. True story. 

I volunteer at a local school and in the school library, one shelf contains just 5 books: three bibles, one copy of the Koran and a book called Funny Stories and Limericks.

The librarian, or one of the students perhaps, certainly has a sense of humour.

Starts as "regime change", ends at bombing civilians back into dark ages, maybe WW3.

I stopped believing a word he says ages ago. He contadicts himself more than I have hot dinners.

 

He just makes it up as he goes along. Surrounded by yes men/women and the MAGA cult, they're all thick as pig shit.

 

The only way all this BS stops if if the US people/senate/house stand up and impeach the cvnt.

Remember this whole thing started because they apparently wanted to ‘liberate the Iranian people’. I’m not sure destroying all their power facilities and access to clean water is going to do the job tbh.

It's almost as if the whole spiel about "liberation" was a lie all along. How about that.

I don’t think it was a lie. Not fully, although there were other reasons too. I think it’s more that because Trump’s advisors are all yes men too scared to challenge him, that they all believed that that first attack that killed the leaders would just guarantee the regime would fall. They hadn’t made any back up plans at all because of this and Trump and the rest of his crew won’t do anything to lose face so carried on trying to find an off ramp.

AI list of reasons Trump has given for the War on Iran

 

•     Claim that Iran was planning to attack the U.S. first — Trump said the February 28 strikes were pre‑emptive, though officials later told Congress there was no intelligence supporting this.
•     Frustration over Iran’s nuclear program — The administration cited stalled nuclear negotiations and concerns about Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
•     Desire to weaken or topple Iran’s government — Shifting objectives included regime change, reducing Iran’s military capacity, and limiting its regional influence.
•     Protecting or supporting Israeli interests — Some stated goals involved aligning with Israel’s security concerns in the region.
•     Responding to threats to shipping and oil markets — Trump argued that keeping the Strait of Hormuz open was essential due to rising oil prices and global shipping risks.
•     Concerns about Iran’s missile and drone activity — Regional attacks were cited as part of the justification for military action.
•     Iran’s nuclear negotiations and broader security posture — Officials referenced Iran’s behavior in the region and its nuclear trajectory as contributing factors.

That's fair, though I would still classify it as a deliberate lie as anyone associated with this, Trump included, would know that simply removing the leadership would hardly "liberate" the Iranian people, and so their actions were in no way intended to be in benefit to those people no matter what they said.

The Gospel of Trump

 

Trump 1:1 In the beginning was the Trump, and the Trump was with God, and the Trump was God.

2 The same was in the beginning, totally awesome.

3 All things were made by him, except the bad things, but without him there was no good stuff, he made all the good stuff.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of all men, but not in a gay way.

5 And his light shineth in the darkness, the shiniest shineth, so shiny the darkness comprended it not, it was too shiny, shinier than the shiniest thing ever was or will be.

6 There was a man sent from Trump, whose name was JD.

7 The same came for a witness at any impeachment trial, that all men might believe Trump was innocent.

8 He was not the light, not even close

9 Trump was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world, but not in a gay way, it cannot be stressed enough.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not, which was an epic tragedy, it really was.

11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not in 2020.

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the secretary of anything and everything, even to them that believe on his name:

13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of the vision of Trump.

14 And Trump was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory that no one could imagine ever, it was so glorious) full of grace and truth...

 

Etc

 

Turns out Chapter One of the Gospel of John is long and rambling

Well, if folks who think like and back Trump didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all. And that, if someone looks back to the time of Kirk's demise, extends even to here.

 

Of course, they might claim injured innocence by saying such hypocrisy is hardly unique to them and they might have a point, but then a rather critical difference is that it's their hypocrisy and attitude that represents a clear, obvious and present threat to the future of all civilisation and our species - not just that small parochial enclave they like to hold up as "civilisation".

Now trump has beaten Iran ( idiot) now says the biggest threat to America is the democrats . He doesn’t give a sh** about America at all trying to cause more divides between people.

They had people searching people’s social media and stuff to find out where people worked as well and got a fair few people fired. Bet they don’t have the same energy over this when people that support him do the same

It'll be interesting when the missiles are flying inwards.

The insane thing about all of this is that externally Iran threatens no one. If they just left them alone it wld be just fine.

And I'm not sure there would be many who would blame you.

 

But one of the key elements of a democracy is to supposedly choose the best of humanity. Not someone so consumed by its worst elements that the moment he's no longer a factor anyone with shares in champagne and fireworks companies will have a very good day.
