Donald Trump deflected responsibility for misleading Americans about the length of the Iran war, dismissed low poll ratings as “fake numbers” and refused to rule out the possibility of declaring a state of emergency before the midterms, in a wide-ranging interview with Time magazine.

When confronted with questions about the length of the Iran war, the US president blamed the media for reporting his remarks in which he said the conflict was projected to last “four to five weeks”, in March.

“ … I think the press fed it to them,” Trump told Time when asked whether Americans misunderstood him.

Having the luxury of mulling over whther to declare a state of emergency is a clear indicator that whatever it is, it is not an emergency.

    This is why Hegseth fired 20% of the military command staff. Conservatives need leaders who will carry out violence on non-conservative citizens when the time is right. Looks like that time is upon us.

    It's time to properly finish Sherman's work. Lincoln stopped him early and now we have concentration camps and an infestation of conservatives. We need to actually finish the civil war completely or they will kill us all.

    As long as conservatives continue to live, they will never stop trying to kill the normal people. Never.

    Act locally. Be discrete. Do not humanize an enemy that cannot humanize you.

    He'll probably declare another war.

    Donald John Trump is still a raging pedophile rapist pile of shit. That never changes. Never forget.

    He never rules anything out. This isn't really a headline.

    Many of us are already voting.

    At some point, the counts of those votes are digitized, then BigBallz takes over with Elmo.

    They would have had to infiltrate the states' voting systems because they're all different. Not saying that it isn't out of the realm of possibility, or that they won't just focus on key locations.

    Big Ballz and fElon did get a lot of personal information so their disinformation targeting will probably be pretty accurate.

    Ironically, the guys who have tried so far have all been right-wing nutballs as well.

    Did they really try, though? Seems like false assassination attempts.

    The one actual attempt was real enough for the two guys in the stands behind Trump that took bullets. One died, the other did survive. The second "attempt" was some nut that managed to sneak onto the Mar-a-Lago golf course before getting caught. Trump was certainly happy to play up the part of the victim, big wad of gauze over the nick on his ear, "Oh, look at how bad people treat me!"

    A bunch of red states already did...

    They're cutting restrictions on red diesel and letting trucks run overloaded to make less trips.

    The red diesel is the big one tho, we need that shit to harvest crops here in a little bit, allowing it on road is going to burn thru the reserves that already wasn't big enough.

    trump is gambling on trying to get UK or other "allies" to give us their reserves, but they need that shit themselves, because of the war trump started.

    It's going to get much worse before midterms too. Which is why using reserves now is so stupid. Probably 2-3 weeks before election Iran is going to really tighten the screws and make gas prices skyrocket. I really could see them shutting off the whole tap to influence midterms against trump.

    Maybe even flat out saying "if republicans win this won't stop". And with the Houthis controlling one major straight, they can hold it for literal decades
