Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

Trump looks like he is getting ready to declare a win. Like this fella predicted:

It's actually weaker, apparently, according to a discussion I heard on LBC this morning. I don't know enough about the previous one to comment, though apparently it was working reasonably well and was actually certified as such by Trump's first admin twice until Trump peremptorily decided to tear it up because it was negotiated by Barak HUSSEIN Obama.

Disgusting

One woman, she was complicit and should 100% be locked up, but where are the male perps apart from the obviously unalive Epstein?

I agree with Thrump on many things but he is somef fnny idiot.

This is so funny.

He is a cult and a God to his followers facts and his corruption dont matter he gets to bs unchallenged his hatred for americas true patriots is seen as his strength. And they applaud.

It seems clear that they are planning a ground invasion.

Some argue the goal is simply to seize Kharg Island. But its at the north of the strait. To get there they would need to first clear an island chain including Qeshm, which is believed to have thousands of missiles in underground salt mines known as "missile city". Even if the took Kharg island, they would be vulnerable to shelling from the Zagros mountains. If they wanted regime change, they would need to cross the mountains.

The Allies managed all this in 1941 because they had support in the South, and also the army then was made up largely of conscripts. Also the USSR joined in the invasion which happened from multiple sides. The current regime's armed forces are considered far more resilient and ideologically committed. It's clear Russia is helping Iran to some extent. That was probably a factor in Israel bombing the Bandar Anzali port on the Caspian sea.

Some reports that Israel did not bomb Russian ships. One good thing that could come of this war would be if it disrupted Iran's support for Russian in the war in Ukraine, but Israel's relationship with Russia for years has been very transactional, and they have millions of Russian speakers in Israel.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough has said he would back Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, the Democratic governor of Kentucky, if he runs in the next election.

The crucial case in SCOTUS where the Republicans are trying to ban counting mail-in votes that come in late.

Ironically they are challenging a Mississippi law that allows this. Republicans control Mississippi.

In the first video, Kavanaugh questions the RNC. In the second and third ones, he and Gorsuch question the Mississippi Solicitor General defending the Mississippi law.

In the last one, Sonya Sotomayor (An Obama appointee) questions RNC lawyer. She compares how military officers in the Civil War were allowed to receive votes from their regiment. Asks why is it different from the postal service receiving them, given neither were sworn in election officers. She mentions that having happened in Nevada and Rhode Island during the Civil War. Reminds him about the postal votes counted in Florida in 2000 which elected Bush. RNC calls that the "reddest of red herring".

“It seems clear that they are planning a ground invasion.”

They obviously want to take control of something that will have Iran over a barrel in years to come.

Trump talking about an ongoing “negotiation” with Iran is just stalling for time in my view as the troops get in place; and anyway, they’re still lobbing bombs at each other, so it’s not a ceasefire per se.

Whilst I don’t trust Iran, I don’t trust Trump either- I would doubt these “talks” will go anywhere and all we’re doing is waiting on America and Israel to get their ducks lined up for whatever they’re planning

So Iran offered Trump to become supreme leader, but Trump turned it down. That must have been the gift they offered.

Get him to Iran to swear him in and he gets killed by a kick of a goat.

Get him to Iran to swear him in and he gets killed by a kick of a goat.

Him being kicked by a goat might explain his behaviour, or indeed might cure it.
