Maybe the President and Secretary Kegseth should demonstrate the safety of the Strait by boarding a vessel and riding across....

Just to step back for a second, the "pro-peace", "low gas price" President has now delivered us a war on the Middle East and a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, and as a result of this, we have now seen wholesale spikes in the price of gasoline and diesel fuel. And we still have yet to hear why exactly why any of this is happening. And on the "touching grass" front, given how the public increasingly sees this Presidency, would suggest that those who continue to cheerlead this thing on may be the ones who need to touch more grass

Almost like the internet troll is projecting just a bit...

Can anyone make heads or tails of this? He's not making any sense

I've heard a lot of lines railing against elitism but man, that's the weakest. It's bad logic for a lot of reasons, but one of the reasons it's bad is the implication that working class people are inherently poor. That's just not the case...

I don't recall seeing him say this, but this is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Between working adjacent to the construction industry and with my son's extracurriculars (living in a community with a relatively high median income *and* low college attainment rate), there's no shortage of folks who have spent money on finished basements or spend time in their already finished basements. Just weird stuff

Seems a little late guys

No ****... when the sycophant class is left to shovel manure for decisions that defy any sort of logic, of course its gonna be "confused"

I'm sure they'll have it ready in two weeks or so....

"Sadly there's gonna be more deaths before it ends. That's the way it is... Likely be more"

Certainly seems like a bit of projection doesn't it?

Exactly the point... Until something tangible changes on the ground, this is Boob Bait for Bubba. TH won't grapple with it (and the fact that most Americans don't share his zeal for war) because it's inconvenient

My tax dollars are paying for a war that this government hasn't spent a single second trying to justify. So yeah, you're GD right I care if our government is wasting money and lives on a pointless war.

1 in 4 Rs disapproving of force is still pretty awful, particularly at the onset.

How many American lives is this worth for you?

Lord Farquaad-*** Presidency Maybe he should send his sons to the front lines

Wow what a pummeling...

Really the big difference between Massie and the rest is that while Massie has a lot of terrible ideology (despite some areas of agreement with Dems of late), he actually *has* an ideology. So much of the MAGA movement doesn't have core beliefs. It just believes in the leader. That's it.

Gonna be a lot of discussion about the ways this is similar or different to Iraq. But as someone who came of age during Iraq, platitudes like "Freedom is Never Free" to in response to deaths in combat is very similar. And it's chilling to see that the architects of this conflict, one that they didn't even bother to justify to the American public beforehand, are running these platitudes back.

Even looking at the supposed "triumph" of ousting Maduro in Venezuela, a relative geopolitical backwater compared to Iran, are the oppressed people there any less oppressed than they were before? Isn't the same socialist regime that conservatives have decried for years, dating back to Hugo Chavez, ultimately still in charge of the country? It's all such a crock of horse**** to call any of these things "successes"...
