Tulsi Gabbard left no doubt when she testified to Congress about Iran’s nuclear program earlier this year.
The country was not building a nuclear weapon, the national intelligence director told lawmakers, and its supreme leader had not reauthorized the dormant program even though it had enriched uranium to higher levels.
But Donald Trump dismissed the assessment of U.S. spy agencies during an overnight flight back to Washington as he cut short his trip to the Group of Seven summit to focus on the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.
“I don’t care what she said,” Trump told reporters. In his view, Iran was “very close” to having a nuclear bomb.
Not only is trump ignoring this, but lots and lots of shitlibs on this site are also.
yeeeah… shrug, Trump ignores them all. And why shouldn’t he? They didn’t prevent him from happening, what’s the point of the CIA, NSA etc when they either knew about him & putin, and let hit happen, or, they didn’t know, even though it’s been obvious since the 80s?
Nice job Intel community, you shot us all in the face.
The situation could be more nuanced. Putin lost in Syria and Europe is split from Russia and massively spending on weapons. That’s already a huge win, maybe big enough to accept a bleeding face.
him & putin
obvious since the 80s
I can see a major problem with that timeline, but I suppose wild conspiracy theories don’t have to make sense
The more he dismiss America’s intelligence agencies, the more i believe them.
Tulsi has no home and has continually played herself. Congratulations.
Right from the Cheney playbook.
The moron just wants the war to hide his shenaningans at home. Sole reason. Everyone should know by now that he automatically denies any and every thing that runs contrary to his own personal narrative.
other problems make for a great distraction from the original problem. i suspect that’s the reason behind a lot of trump’s actions
We have done this dance before last time it cost me my 20s my sanity and most importantly a huge amount for friends I loved like brothers who died before and are still killing then selfs…
So we are gonna do the Iraq WMD lie again huh?
People still believe Iraq had WMDs to this day.
This season’s twist is that the Intelligence community is claiming that there is no weapons. Unless the Intelligence community is doing reverse psychological on us.
I still have people telling me it wasn’t Bush’s fault, the intelligence was bad
Of course there are ZERO valid reasons to go to war in the ME.
Well, they’re half right, but not in the sense they mean…
The truth doesn’t really matter. Israel will get their war, and the US will lumber into it behind them.
What’s crazy to me is apparently the US has become so polarized, so used to division that pointing out Israel is acting like bloodthirsty psychos is somehow supporting Iran, or Hamas before that. It’s like their whole culture has evaporated any nuance at all. Only diametrically opposed good and evil battling forever. Professional wrestling stories with Heels and Faces divided by clear black lines.
It is the only thing conservatives/fascists have left.
And shitlibs.
God vs Satan doesn’t leave room for nuance.
Quick, dust off the “weapons of mass destruction” propaganda.
Came here to say the exact same thing.
It doesn’t matter if it is true or not (not just this topic) but if you repeat the lie enough and gaslight the public it becomes true, and if it doesn’t so what, what are you going to do about it.
NOTHING that is what they are counting on.
Keep up the protests, the No Kings protest was huge even if MSM is downplaying it.
First, weaken the commercial aviation in your country. Second, start calling everything terrorism. Third, start yet another war in the middle east.
Your guy is desperately looking for another 911.
*9/11
I’m expecting a false-flag attack here soon to give him an excuse to officially pull the US into it
Or maybe a real attack from the guillotine squad. It’d amount to the same thing.
He’s an idiot who has never been able to distinguish between his fantasies and reality
He’s spent a lifetime making shit up, and never being held to account for it
He’s a child, and what’s worse, he has dementia.
He also lies as easily as he breathes. Truth means nothing to him. He sees being honest as a weakness
Just the person to entrust the most powerful military of the world with.
“But what choice do we have? Entrust the military to a lady? We’ll take the dementia-addled toddler instead”
Don’t forget that under the orange paint, he’s white
Didn’t matter. Look at the three elections that Trump ran, and his performance against the candidate with a penis vs. the ones without one.
The American electorate will vote for a Black penis-haver (particularly if he is a baller) over any vagina-haver right now. They still won’t say “I’m a sexist pig” in the exit polls, though, so we get reasons like “She didn’t explain her policies enough” or “She wasnt authentic enough” instead.
The idea that the only reason she lost is because of being a woman is incredibly stupid.
I don’t flatly disagree, but I think to call Hillary or Kamala as “electable” as Obama is a hard sell. He was a better public speaker than any president in my lifetime and he played things off well. Kamala was certainly more likable than Hillary, but she didn’t have as much sauce as the sauce king at least before he was usurped by the sauce god Mamdani.
Maybe I’m just being hopeful, but I don’t think the vagina thing is as big of an influence as it seems. First, we only have a sample size of two.
One of them, Clinton, was just an objectively awful person. She wasn’t popular with anyone, including women.
The second, Harris, had an abbreviated campaign caused by Biden’s unwillingness to step down. She also wasn’t built up in preparation fora campaign during her VP term. On top of that, she was very unexciting policy-wise. Basically status quo when everybody is clamoring for progress.
Contrast that with Obama, who ran on “hope and change” and got people excited for actual progress. Which he didn’t deliver, but that’s another story.
Why do women win Governor elections, then?
People can accept woman as the little boss, but not the big boss. Not yet anyway.
Because not every state is full of misogyny
That is not so clear-cut https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/11/01/17-states-havent-had-a-female-us-senator-and-18-havent-had-a-woman-governor/ I’d have to go see if there is any correlation between these and Kamala/Hillary’s results, but I’m not expecting it to be strong.
(Oh, and of course, I didn’t check if any of these elections were woman vs woman, where it would not serve as an indicator of misogyny to elect a woman)
My point is that even women can win elections in deep red states, particularly if they follow “conservative” values close enough. But then again president has the whole commander-in-chief aura…ok…

Yeah? Well my pop tart fell on the floor this morning. I think I’ll sit out 2028.
He is. She is a Russian asset.
That’s fine. Iraq didn’t have WMDs either. They just need a lie to sell it to the public.
What’s the context for this photo?
Colin Powell lies to congress about “facts” and “evidence” of WMDs in Iraq that led to a 20 year war

Essentially, you take a bunch of radioactive material, and above a certain threshold purity and threshold amount, it just starts a chain reaction that makes it explode.
No. That is not what enriching means. I’m sorry, you need to do a lot more research on nuclear physics; you are flatly incorrect.
it is well possible that they were preparing all the pieces
You’re literally describing building a bomb with different words. And both the IAEA and the American IC are currently of the opinion that Iran hasn’t been doing that since they suspended their nuclear weapons program in 2003. Is there something you know that they don’t?
