What can I say John, I’m not paranoid. Just this century, we’ve been responsible for the deaths of millions. I’m not sure exactly what you are getting out of that. It’s gotta be some pretty strong medicine that makes you think that people like being invaded. Or their school children blown up from afar by people that can’t be confronted.
I don’t think I can pay enough taxes to take over every little country that affronts “President for life”Trump. So, what makes you think we have enough pallets of of printing press green, to appease the world. There is something to said about, out of sight out of mind. Not too many pronouns would use a machete or prison camp to its fullest potential.

I don’t think I can pay enough taxes to take over every little country that affronts “President for life”Trump. You bemoan the tragedy and ignore the terror, then later, when a real catastrophic event happens, you lament that we didn't do what was necessary to prevent it. I guess... JR

Gotcha again!
Didn't read that Larry Brown level pile of word salad either: 420 words in reply to 25 words. You're falling into line perfectly! Do the hooks in your lip hurt?
...back in the pond with you! Oh this is precious TransGomer Geoff... Now you're telling us that you didn't even read my reply to you. But you took the bait again, and were so deeply triggered that you admit taking the time to count all 420 words in my Post... and to then count and compare them to 25 words in your Post (which of course did not include the multitude of words in your other 26 highly triggered Off Topic Posts. Do you honestly think everyone is as dumb as you? Like I said already, we can see right through you TransGomer Geoff. And we can see I am engaged in a battle of wits with an unarmed man. I'll be looking forward to your next triggered Off Topic response... even if it is another unimaginative cut-and-paste copy of your little fish pond.

'I'll stick my toe in here again (with some reservations).
Since the end of the Second World War, the United States has led the western world to an unprecedented period of peace and prosperity (by my math, over 80 years now). There have been some interruptions in all of that, but nothing like the horrors that preceded it. In my mind, having the Panama Canal back in responsible hands again is a very good thing. Having Venezuela in responsible hands again is also a very good thing. I'm also very pleased to hear that Greenland is solidly in our camp again as well. We have endured the terror regime in Tehran since the fall of the Shah and it has cost us dearly, in both lives and treasure. They were clearly intending to do us (& others) significant harm and it was only a matter of time before they finally accomplished that.
I can't begin to imagine what the complications will be from unleashing "Epic Fury" the way we have, but I don't see any other way that President Trump could have done it. I know that there is alot that I/we can't and won't know about the politics and peripheral activities that will continue to occur but President Trump has earned my respect and my confidence at this point (and I'm looking forward to see how he handles Cuba next).

You don't need to have any reservations Lloyd. This is your thread, say what you want, and if someone's offended,pfffft. And no doubt our self-appointed Forum monitor will be along shortly, proclaiming we need more of this or less of that. Blaaah. Tim And I forgot to mention, your posts are always appreciated, and this was a good one, thanks.

Um...you replied to my short post with another Larry Brown level rant of verbal vomit to attempt to bait...that makes you to one triggered, child. Try to pay attention TransGomer Geoff... I didn't reply to your "short post". I replied to nineteen highly triggered Posts from you that had absolutely nothing to do with the topic of this Thread. I replied to your obvious repeated intent to disrupt and derail this particular Thread. You've been triggered into adding at least another seven Posts, so that's something like twenty-six off-topic Posts in one Thread... and counting. In addition, my terminally triggered child, I never confidently claimed that I couldn't be triggered or baited into making a reply to you or anyone else. It was you who said that, and you who has since proven that you are more easily triggered than a sub-machine gun with a worn sear. Several guys beside myself have shown you can be triggered or baited into repeated rants. I laughed at your narcissistic little ploy of trying to silence anyone who disagrees with you by acting as if you've won if you can shut them up, and also acting like you've won if they respond to your drivel. You have mocked people for "yelling past each other", yet you are too dumb to see yourself doing exactly what triggers you. You have repeatedly stated that nobody changes anyone else's mind by engaging in this behavior, yet here you are... trying to change people who you cannot and will not ever change. The only thing impressive about you is your astounding level of self-importance. If anything, you have only succeeded in showing yourself to be a hypocritical closet Democrat, most interested in advancing the stupid thought that you can call yourself a "staunch 2A supporter" while also supporting anti-gunners, or a foolish RINO at best. But by all means please continue trying to change me. Continue trying to change the others who now see right through your little facade. Maybe try teaming up with Gladys Kravitz and the other whiny pinheads who tried to remake this forum in their own twisted image, and failed. Oh, and check out those Forum Statistics in the margin on the left. Most Online: July 28th, 2025... in spite of the thin-skinned crybabies who are so easily offended, and lack the fortitude to click off of subjects that make them lose bladder control. But for the life of me, I don't understand why you all haven't just started your own website and forums where you could dictate and censor to your hearts' content. Don't bother writing that down TransGomer Geoff... you're much too dense to see yourself. Gotcha again! ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/s2jzrYDN/Larry_the_not_too_bright_bluegill.gif) Didn't read that Larry Brown level pile of word salad either: 420 words in reply to 25 words. You're falling into line perfectly! Do the hooks in your lip hurt? ...back in the pond with you! You need to cease with this childish trolling, it's disruptive, pick up your crayons and go back in the corner. Mr passive aggressive nuisance.

How are the fuel costs in your area? I’d hate to be a farmer that has to buy a whole lot of diesel to put his crops in. Or any of the petroleum based fertilizers for that matter.
For a crowd that is mostly retired, living off of a declining portfolio is called sequence of returns risk. And going around topping governments and invading people, has that effect. This hypocritical TDS response is hilarious ClapperZapper. I'll answer your foolish and deceptive question. Fuel costs in my area have risen by about 50-60 cents per gallon, according to GasBuddy.com. I'm on board with it because unlike you Trump Deranged fools, I can easily recall dozens of other times fuel costs have spiked over the last 47 years due to threats and attacks by Iran or its' proxies in the Middle East. Other consumer prices also spiked every time Lloyd's of London jacked up shipping insurance costs due to threats by Iranian speedboats, Iranian backed Hezbollah missile attacks, or threats from ISIS, the Houtis, and others. Of course, you never said a word then, and you won't admit it now. I had a lot of shares in Pan Am Airlines when Iran and Libya bombed Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. You probably recall having bodies and pieces of the plane fall around you on one of your imaginary grouse hunting trips there. Pan Am went bankrupt after that, and I lost everything I invested, as did many others. Nor will you say anything about the larger spike in energy and fuel costs when Biden put the squeeze on domestic oil drilling. You won't mention that nearly every poor worker and retiree saw the actual value of their retirement savings fall by over 25% due to Biden/Democrat caused inflation. Your own current 40% cash position is worth much less due to the same Biden inflation. You also won't mention that Iran opened recent negotiations with the U.S. by abruptly announcing they had 460 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium, and said it was enough to make eleven nuclear bombs. This is exactly what they told naive Democrats like Obama and Biden they were not doing. Uranium enrichment for civilian power plants is 3 to 5%. Never mind the Democrats were also too dumb to see the obvious when they buried their "peaceful civilian uranium enrichment program" deep underground, and steadfastly refused U.N. Inspections. And the whole time they were lying to the world, they were chanting "Death to America and Israel", and incredibly stupid Democrats gave them billions in cash and relaxed sanctions in spite of threats Stevie Wonder could see. So what then ClapperZapper? Did you want to see us stay on the same foolish path of repeated threats and attacks causing another 47 years of price spikes and market declines? Did you want to keep trying to appease and bribe religious zealots who openly threaten to destroy us, by giving them even more cash? Did you actually think they were going to respect a U.S. Military run by Woke LGBTQ freaks and soldiers seeking taxpayer funded transgender surgery? Or did you just want to wait until they detonated a nuke over Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, New York, Newark, Los Angeles, Washington, or all of the above? Gee, I wonder if gas prices would rise in that scenario??? But at least you Libtards would all find a way to blame it on Trump for not attacking when they were vulnerable.

What can I say John, I’m not paranoid. Just this century, we’ve been responsible for the deaths of millions. I’m not sure exactly what you are getting out of that. It’s gotta be some pretty strong medicine that makes you think that people like being invaded. Or their school children blown up from afar by people that can’t be confronted.
I don’t think I can pay enough taxes to take over every little country that affronts “President for life”Trump. I've happily stayed out of this thread but this post deserves a response. CZ, I'm only talking about the current Iran situation but are you really unaware of how happy most Iranians are that finally, someone is taking the murderous, authoritarian boot off their necks. Do you know any Iranians? I do. Quite a number. They are universally happy about this. Have you seen footage from the streets of Iran? These people DEFINITELY are happy someone is invading them. They still worry about the unknown future. They aren't free yet. But they can smell freedom from where they are now. Of course the killing of school children is a tragic mistake. But compare that to their own government slaughtering 30,000, who had the temerity to protest, inside of 24 hours just last month.

I don’t think I can pay enough taxes to take over every little country that affronts “President for life”Trump. This Post does indeed deserve a response. By ClapperZapper's logic, the United States must also be responsible for the deaths of 60 to 85 million people who died during WWII, simply because our government decided to confront evil, and the majority of our people got behind the war effort. But if the same thing happened today, 21st century Democrats would be doing all they could to stop it, especially assuming it was Donald Trump confronting Germany and Japan. And if they couldn't stop it, they would be doing all they could to end it before the job was properly finished, just so they could later complain that it was a failure.

James and Tim...thankyou both.
We seem to forget in this country (we seem to go asleep for long periods here) that evil needs to be confronted. Sometimes you just can't do anything else. It's not without risk or painful cost to yourself and your loved ones but it absolutely must be done.
The Post-modernests (who now seem to have infested our educational systems and most of our media) would have you believe that the capitolist Western world is to blame for everything bad in the world today. They would burn it all down and start over (with themselves placed in charge of course). That hard lesson has been learned several times already, with many examples of the tragedies that always follow.
We clearly aren't perfect here just yet, but we contine to aim up. It's a shame that great lessons of history need to be relearned every few generations (and usually the hard way) but I'm praying that the United States (and the rest of the Western world) will come through this latest challenge with a renewed interest in all the critical 'freedoms' we all take so-much for granted these days.
