Here for my comeuppance

Go ahead. Let me have it. I could try to rationalize a bunch of things at the margins but the bottom line is you all were right on Israel and Iran and I was wrong. Looks likely that tariffs are going to come out favorably as well.

Trump is running things like a total boss and I’ve been dithering about like a soy boy.

It is what it is.

File this away for the next time Trump makes a move and the same people who were wrong about Iran and Tariffs tell you that Trump has again stepped in it. The sooner you learn to ignore these people, the better your mental health will be.

Trump is an animal. It takes a while for it to sink in. There hasn’t been anything like him before. When you think he is making a stupid move, its only because you are comparing it to a paradigm that you are used to seeing and understand. He broke the paradigm and he is playing on whole different game board.

Would never punch someone with crow in their mouth, good on you.

And the Iran/Israel is technically in a cease fire, so while it’s going well that could change.

But it appears Iran is down bad.

Shouldn’t matter who’s in charge, good for America is the goal.

You’re such a dick!

Just when you think you’ve seen it all Trump pulls another stunner. He’s got 3 1/2 years to go. What’s next?

This is good. Nothing partisan.

Bradley is the only one here who will admit he was wrong after the fact. He will probably go make the same mistake once again, but at least he will usually own the current one.

Trump supporters aren't more intelligent than libs, we are more educated on Trump. Many of us put in the time to educate ourselves on Trump because we wanted to know for sure just how screwed we were with him if he actually did what he said he would.

Libs did the same thing. but the problem is they use contaminated information sources. They use sources that lie to them about who Trump is and why he is doing what he does. And most of them aren't willing to cut off a source when it gives them bad info.

That creates a scenario where all the information they get all day every day is from sources lying to them about Trump. You start to hear the same message every day from every source, and you start to believe it.

That's why we have Trump supporters believing he's in the process of saving the world, while Trump haters believe he's in the process of destroying it.

Welcome back. Bradley was doing well until recently. He figured out Whoremella was like a venereal disease and made good progress. The tariffs gave him a setback. The tariffs are nothing but a negotiating tool for a better America deal. Trump usually has good instincts even though his mouth gets him in trouble more often than necessary. But it is refreshing to me that a politician speaks his mind instead of the usual political mouth breathing double talk. I don't always agree with Trump, but it will take me a few hours to think of something I don't see eye to eye with him on. 😂

I'm not a Trumper I'm just a person who realizes he is what our country needs right now. The fact that he is not a politician is one of the reasons I voted for him.

The reason I do LOVE Trump is because I KNOW he loves America like I do, he is BRILLIANT, and a proven winner in almost everything he touches. It’s not personal, it’s the results.

 

[bradleygator]

My big thing is I almost always suspect whoever is in office is FOS. And Trump was talking a really big game. So when the BBB came in with some typical overspending and then we’re seemingly lining up to go to war in the ME again, I reacted very negatively.

But I have to acknowledge that Trump is taking on some things that are completely entrenched and he is doing something about it. Whether it works out perfectly or not, I think we are at least taking positive steps and the fact that there’s even a conversation about issues like immigration, spending, energy, US/Israel, trade, is a success. the prior administration and its predecessors were actively working against American interests.

 

[bradleygator]

You know at a basic level, this is close to treasonous when you consider over this same time period we went $35 trillion into debt.

What I realized is I get a lot of information from sources that are not necessarily globalist or anti American but they are not coming from an American perspective, because I’m suspicious of just rah rah stuff and I want an objective view of things. But I realize these sources really underestimate the power and influence America still has, largely because our leadership has mostly apologized for it since the Iraq war.

 

[bradleygator]

Here’s a good example. I really respect Jeffrey Sachs. I think he’s super sharp and has a great global perspective. But here he is complaining that we don’t engage in diplomacy with Iran when we’ve been doing that for 30 years and it’s been a complete waste of time. The issue hasn’t moved an inch.

He says our diplomacy is basically: give me what I want or I’ll have you killed. But baseline, isn’t that all international negotiation? Trump is just up front about it.

I agree with everything here. I can tell you Iran is in the worse shape as they have been in 47 years. I am praying the tariffs work for America.
