Donald Trump has issued his latest threat to Iran and said that if officials fail to make a deal with the United States “the whole country is going to get blown up.”

The president also made threats Sunday morning to target civil infrastructure after it was reported that Iranian forces were refusing to allow ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz this weekend.

    I blame the criminally passive GOP congresscritters and senators for letting Trump and his fascist henchmen destroy the country. All it would take is for a few of them to agree to 25th Trump’s ass and impeach Vance and Kegbreath for this madnest to end right this minute.

    History will not be kind to them, and I hope the courts will hold them accountable for what they did one day too.

      Don’t let them or the media convince you that their actions are passive. They have had many opportunities to put the brakes on this administration, and every time they deliberately side with Trump. Every Republican congressperson is complicit with his agenda.

      You kidding me. Once this fucker is gone, every single one of them will decide that the orange lying asshole was the only problem, and will reliably pull their team’s lever again and again…

        I guarantee you if God existed, he would not ro-ro with those clowns.

        If I was a Christian, I would feel offended by the GOP: they talk a lot about Jesus but they don’t actually follow the teachings of Jesus very much. And that’s hardly new.

      It will only make JD Vance president, and he is no better than Trump, and the American population will just elect another psychopath a few years down the road. We might as well get it over with and have USA destroy itself now.

        Indeed, you’re correct. Trump and MAGA aren’t the problem, they’re a symptom. The disease is a population with the IQ of a lemming and a penchant for fascism.

        But you will note that I said “stop THIS madness”. The next madness is next. But at least this one could be halted quickly.

        We might as well get it over with and have USA destroy itself now.

        I’m hip about that. The problem is, America is dragging the rest of the world down with it.

          Disappointing but succinct

          Impeaching him will do nothing, it hasn’t really done anything to prevent a president in power since Nixon was threatened with it back in the 60’s.

          But you will note that I said “stop THIS madness

          “This” is not specific, I read it like the madness of USA, not the administration or congress, but the people electing insane psychopathic politicians.

        *the capitalist billionaire class will thrust two psychopaths one the American people and tell them they’re the only options.

        Americans haven’t had a say in decades, if ever.

          You had me with the first line, but lost me with the second.
          USA is still a democracy although imperfect, and we just saw in Hungary how a near dictator of 16 years was overturned despite conditions for the elections were just as bad as they are in USA, and despite Orban had control of the national media and the courts.
