My mom sent me that article about possible drone strikes on CA.

To which I responded, "and that's the fault of which President who started a war with Iran?"

I'm being ignored now.

[close]

Oh didn’t catch that.   Well at least I don’t live blocks away from a high profile event like the Oscar’s…

[close]

Truth be told, if any place in CA would be a target, it would be San Diego. SD houses a large portion of the military’s fleet as well as naval aviation.

[close]

True - whenever I catastrophized about that in the past I would think Silicon Valley or tech hub/Long Beach Harbor/Military bases would be more relevant targets…but having all those people in one spot days after the warning just gave me the willies

[close]

Moffet Field Air Force base (huge aerospace wind tunnel ), Lockheed, NASA all technically in silicon valley

I've gotten a bunch of jobs for companies in Palo Alto that have contracts with DOD. 

highly doubt a drone strike would be possible in CA...maybe cyber attacks but not actual bombs

[close]

Iran is over 7k miles away from CA. If anything, CIA or Mossad will do a false flag operation to gain support so they can expand the war, and maybe allow Republicans to pass legislation that cancels elections during wartime.

[close]

The claim from "FBI Intelligence" is saying they're working with Cartels in Mexico and/or will be launching them from South America. Regardless, if CA is hit — false flag or not — I don't see Trump doing anything to help the state in the aftermath.

[close]

lol, is this the same FBI that hunted down charlie kirks assassin

Cartels have to much money coming in from Fentanyl and other drugs to align with Iran or any other country that hated US

The FBI will determine that the cartels are based in Venezuela and then find pro-Iran text painted on the drones.

Okay everyone take a beat.  This is circulating a bad misremembering of the article. 

The threat from Iran would come from a ship off the coast of California, not launched from Iran. 

The threat of cartels using drone is a separate incident of unmanned drones being used against the US this time along the border.   There is no relationship between the cartels and Iran other than potential method of attack

Trump just enforced Jake Paul for any political seat, starting rumors he might run for congress.

LOL. Any state that votes that turd into office deserves  to be hit by the 10 plagues of Egypt

Now that is a distraction

[sometimeperhaps]

Well done America, really raising the bar for being complete and utter fucking idiots in every possible way. Can’t wait to see what else you have planned.

He’s going to bomb multiple countries in Central and South America to get rid of “narcoterrorists.” Searches for “Epstein Files” has gone down 95% since he attacked Iran.

'Murica and this administration are making Mike Judge look like a prophet.

Also, this sign looked different last year of course. It's in a state park, people were taking turns taking pictures with it. I'm sure they did that when it said Gulf of Mexico. But now it feels like taking a pic there has political implications. That sucks. Yeah, thumbs up lady.

[The Huffer]

Well worth a watch to consider where the Iran war goes from here,

[Rusty Shackleford]

...very telling. the 25th amendment will never happen; these guys would rather publicly humiliate themselves shuffling around in their clown shoes than tell Donald no

[Chalupa]

His administration is so cucked, they wear Florsheims that Trump gifted to males. They make enough money to buy the same shoes in the correct size for around $150, but I guess they’re either too cheap or don’t want to offend their fuhrer.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/10/trump-florsheim-shoes

For a billionaire, he has shit taste. He eats McDonald’s, drenches steaks in ketchup, wears JCPenney shoes, and decorates everything in fake gold.

Even if Democrats have a majority in the senate and house, Thomas Massie would be the only Republican that would vote for impeachment. Everyone else will cling to Trump’s nutsack, but then claim that they never supported the guy, once allegations in the Epstein files are verified, which will probably be after his death.

The fact that there is no pushback from Republicans except for Rand Paul, regarding the war in Iran, tells you everything you need to know. As long as oil companies and weapons manufacturers are making money, there is no issue. There isn’t enough money for low-income people to get food and healthcare benefits, but there will always be unconditional money for Israel and killing people in the Middle East to steal their resources. Republicans talking about reducing the deficit has always been bullshit.

[GardenSkater77]

Did not catch this on the nightly news but it looks like Trump is sending 5,000 marines to Iran. Probably so they can get the oil moving again. This is so sad. So Trump can save face he is sending our troops into who even knows what is waiting for them.

All of this without any congressional approval.  A fucking draft dodging pedophile sending Marines to their death.

Interesting conversation about Iran war what happens next with Paul Krugman.

[TheLurper]

I would like to walk back my initial ambivalence to this war. This is a fucking disaster.

And, the fact that Trump is now asking for other countries to help America secure the Strait of Hormuz is fucking crazy. Even though Israel is the tail that wags the dog, America made the choice to enter this war. Trump and friends made the choice to ignore the military--who aren't idiot yes men--that said, there is a reason no one did this before.

Russia and China and Israel are the key beneficiaries to this whole excursion. American oil companies may make more profit for a while as they will get a higher price for their product without any extra work, but the rest of the world, including regular Americans (higher costs) and regular Iranians (the black rain in Tehran was just one of the many prices these people will face) who don't support the regime, will pay for this. And, I am skeptical that we see any sort of regime change in Iran.

The fact that Trump is now asking everyone else to send their navies to secure the strait is insane to me. He made the problem while he wanted to play global police officer and then wants everyone else to pick up the tab? Reminds me of the saying, "If you owe the bank 1K, it is your problem. If you owe the bank 100 million, it is the banks problem." There was a reason many banks wouldn't lend to this asshole. But, I suppose as long as Kushner is getting rich and the American oil companies make more profit, it is all worth it.

[Atiba Applebum]

Israel is one of the tails, but the other huge driver of Trump is the oil industry.   Remember when he asked them for the billion dollar(?) donation?   Everything he’s done has been to prop up that industry (see new BP extreme deep water drilling just approved in the Gulf of Mexico, attacking CA’s ban on coastal drilling just within the past week/since the start of the war)

[The Drew]

The only way for a regime change in Iran to happen would be for the US (and anyone silly enough to go along with an invasion) to send in troops and systematically clear large areas of IRAN of IRGC and then hold those areas until the local people can sort out who is going to run the country .... but IRAN is fucking massive & the US hasn't been very successful of doing this in the past so... I am guessing the shit show will continue for quite some time

[AnimalChinaski79]

Now the orange child rapist is begging our "allies" to send help to open the Strait.  The same allies he's shit on and trashed with tariffs for the past year.  You can't make this shit up I tell ya.

And un-surprisingly enough, all of them basically told him to go fuck himself.

Now shitstain Hitler is acting like they betrayed him.

[Chalupa]

Are we great again?

Corporations never lower their prices for goods and services if their transportation and production prices go down. We have to suffer so the rich can get richer, and people talk about things other than the Epstein Files.

[RichardBarkley]

I thought he said he could take Canada and Greenland from his allies the “easy way” or the “hard way.”

I thought he said he didn’t need any allies when it came to Iran.

I thought he told the UK, Spain, and France to basically fuck off.

I thought he called Denmark a shitty ally with a useless army.

I thought Zelensky was supposedly “the last guy” he needed help from.

And I thought he told the world seven times in two weeks that the war was already won?

I’m not sure how history will ultimately describe this period, but it’s hard to imagine Donald Trump not being remembered as one of the most incompetent leaders of the 21st century.

I think you may be selling it a little bit short by limiting him to just the 21st century.

But he doesn’t take a salary…

[Plan9Customs]

Well, if you count bribes, he does take a salary.

If it wasn’t the last 4 living presidents he spoke with is Dementia Donald having conversations with dead people? I know Syphilis and Dementia will fuck with peoples minds heavily. Or is he just lying again?
 As for help from our allies, fuck us. Don’t help that sack of shit, he made his bed let him fucking rot in it alone. Can’t wait for the terrorist bombing of Maralargo, his hotels, and his golf clubs!

Maybe he talked to Glen Beck’s AI George Washington (have fun with that google)

[AnimalChinaski79]

Has anyone  here written off any MAGA family members?  My parents are on the verge of me telling them to fuck off and stay away from me.  I'm pretty much done with anyone that helped enable this mess we are in.
