    So we see where Glenn Beck stands today. Over the years he has been all over the map on issues of intervention, depending on who he works for, who is audience is, whether he is for or against Trump and most importantly whether he is suffering a manic episode.

    While the strike did require some level of balls, keep in mind it was a MUCH easier decision now that Israel obliterated all of Irans proxies and defenses and Russia has its hands tied up with Ukraine and couldn’t support them through Syria.

    Very cool - we now have a holiday thread in which the OP admires Donald Trump's "gonies."

    You people are weird. Kind of reminds me of this;

    “Arnold Palmer was all man and I say that in all due respect to women, and I love women, but this is a guy that was all man,” Trump said. “This man was strong and tough, and I refuse to say it, but when he took showers with the other pros, they came out of there and they said, ‘Oh, my God, that’s unbelievable.’”

    Trump makes crude remark about golfing immortal: ‘I had to say it’

    So Trump had the balls to do what would have completely unnecessary if he didn't screw up in his first term.

    If Trump didn't tear up the original agreement with Iran the strike would have been unnecessary. At the time he tore up the agreement, Iran was subject to regular inspections by IAEA and had only enriched uranium to 5% not remotely close to weapons grade. Since then Iran has enriched uranium to 60% much closer to weapons grade. While the airstrikes on Iran's facilities have set back its program for months and maybe years there is the real possibility that Iran will resume its quest for nuclear weapons and that the program will go completely dark making oversight much more difficult. Iran has already suspended inspections by IAEA.

    As a point of information that original agreement although opposed by Netanyahu and some conservative Americans was supported by a former director of Mossad as well as number of former US and Israeli flag officers and intelligence specialists.

    Bibi finally found a POTUS weak enough to bend the knee and do his bidding since Bibi has been saying that Iran is building a nuke for almost 30 years

    I love how the mages like to say that Biden and I guess every previous dem president was an embarrassment, when we have true evidence that trump is embarrassing us on the daily.

    I hear Trump is very much against property taxes... Let's hope he can convince states like Florida to ban property taxes.

    Steal it from the liberals and the immigrants, of course!

    Just kidding. They'll take away services from the poor, and let them take their chances with a variety of health issues without medical coverage. Then they'll have UFC fights at the White House and charge admission. We've become a Darwinian society--eat or be eaten, kill or be killed, that sort of thing. We'll need to bring in some natives from New Guinea to help us establish cannibalism in the U.S. Once we learn their secrets (spices, marinades, etc.), then we'll arrest them and deport them to prisons in El Salvador where they will be tortured under JD Vance's direction and forced to confess to eating cats.

    Either that, or make Mexico pay for our government, like they paid for the Great Wall of Mexico that Trump created in his first term.

    I honestly believe the OP starts threads to just stir it up. And that’s sad.

    I know it’s sort of like praising the arsonist for helping to put out the fire he started. However the strike wouldn’t have been necessary had he not backed out of the deal the Obama administration had already made. Ironically Trump appears to be proposing a deal similar to Obama’s.

    For services the state provides. They don’t have income tax and if they get rid of property taxes they got to make it up from somewhere.

    So rescuing them in wars isn’t enough pay back for a statue?
