    I wouldn’t say “joyful”… just pointing out a blowhard when I see one…. We shouldn’t just accept what Trump says. If the mission was to stop Iran’s nuclear program then we need an honest assessment. 16 Semi Truck left the site before the bombing. Iran is saying they protected some key parts of the program. Iran lies, but so does Trump, so let’s make a decision based on whether or not the goal is achieved, not whether or not Trump is willing to admit he failed and walk back his victory proclamations.

    Curious why israel didn’t take out those 16 trucks. Or at least damage the entrance ways so that things couldn’t be easily moved

    Even the White House isn't disputing the existence of the report. I am sure it is "initial" with all the usual caveats.

    Israel will probably break the cease fire agreement after that report…. It likely confirms what they already know.

    JD went off message today, too, and said he didn’t think their partially enriched uranium had been destroyed….

    Since we went to the trouble of going after those sites, one can only hope it was successful so we don't have to go after them again.

    I agree. If the Administration wants to be taken more seriously, then they should respond more professionally to reports such as these and explain why they have arrived at different conclusions.

    They came out with the operation political fellatio before the dust had even settled on the attack. Now pushing back. Just be adults about everything. Like tell us in a tweet ;)

    As Trump said, the biggest loads ever.

    Biden, and the world didn’t go to shit. Covid got contained, inflation came down, market, economy and jobs at highs..

    Other than the border, Trump has been nothing but chaos and a circus show.

    My son's used it too, but I am an old fart with a 24 y/o state of mind. I adopted that attitude when I was 24. I vowed to never be "old". :D

    I can agree in principle to this line of thinking.

    Covid didn’t get contained due to Biden. It was the vaccine and the natural evolution of the virus.
    As far as inflation it exploded under Biden and then began to recede due to the FED jacking rates to the moon. Let’s at least be honest on those points.

    It's fun when we pick and choose when to use "due to" and "under," without any consistency. Look, I can do it too!

    And let's at least be honest on the point that this administration lies incessantly and thus has little credibility, particularly on foreign affairs.

    Inflation also didn’t just materialize out of thin air.

    It was a byproduct of COVID. Most of it likely unavoidable or outside our control. Things like post-pandemic worker shortages and China remaining locked down for nearly another year were not in our power to control and those were substantial drivers of inflation if not the bulk of it.

    Inflation exploded everywhere. And it receded here far faster than most experts said it would.
