To those in Congress who insist that Trump should have gone through you on the bombing decision, I assume if he did, you’d be a no.

Next, articulate the circumstances that would secure a yes.

One year, month, week, day until Iran uses a nuke,

has nuke targets in sight,

when pallets of cash don’t work,

terror attack against our troops,

20 attacks…?

And don’t tell me you don’t deal in hypotheticals. Since Trump will have to wait on you, it’s possible that the only acceptable wait we can afford is measured in seconds. So have your answer ready.

Now, ask yourself, is it’s possible we’re currently at that point.

Or let the Commander in Chief be the Commander in Chief. Biden's no longer in office incapable of being decisive and Kamala lost, removing our worry over her fog of booze.

Exactly. When seconds matter, waiting for permission from a dysfunctional Congress isn’t strategy—it’s suicide. Trump acted when it counted, not for politics, but for national security. The left would rather hold hearings while our enemies build bombs.

How strange it is that the Left thinks it’s morally superior, but really does have an inverted compass. I hadn’t thought about them operating in System 1 mode most of the time. I’ve always blamed it on them being God-less. Emphasis on capital G God. They have goods alright, and maybe that’s all you can expect from folks who are almost entirely emotion-driven.

Regardless, they can whine all they want from their perch of faux superiority. You nailed it…Iran has been problem for years. We gave them a chance, they turned it down. What Trump did was indeed long overdue.

Ever wonder how people would be reacting if Kamala Obama was in the White House and did this?

If Kamala or Obama had done the same strike, the media would be calling it "bold," "historic," and "measured." But when Trump acts decisively, they scream tyranny. It’s not the action they hate—it’s who’s taking it. And yes, their moral compass isn’t just broken—it’s wired in reverse, powered by emotion and detached from reason or any higher truth.

"Measured" I like that one.

So true...

The fools on the left—and the useful idiots parroting their talking points—are ideological drones. Indoctrinated, delusional, and unhinged, they worship weakness and slander strength, proving with every word how deeply the Marxist mind virus has rotted their capacity for reason.
