The president previously said negotiations were “proceeding nicely.”

“Targets included missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines. U.S. Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire.”

The strikes come just hours after Trump said negotiations with Iran were “proceeding nicely.”

      Anyone who thinks President JD Vance is going to end the the war is going to get rug pulled harder than folks holding the HawkTuhaCoin bags.

        I have no illusion things will get better under the other motherfucker. I just want things to get worse for that one motherfucker.

            Nostradamus was a prophet of doom. I’m just a Joe Average who, after 18 months of having to watch this shitshow unfold, seeks some much-deserved solace in the knowledge that one particularly despicable sack of shit is finally with the worms.

            Champagne is in the cooler, waiting to be popped. You’re not going to take this away from me, mate. ;)

              one particularly despicable sack of shit is finally with the worms.

              There’s a line of shit out the door and around the corner to take his place. If Trump did not exist, Ted Cruz would be president and nothing would be any better.

              These problems aren’t individualistic. They’re systematic. In a better world Trump would just be filling the shoes of Joan Rivers, not commanding a nuclear arsenal.

              Losing sight of the reactionary forest for one big orange tree is how we ended up with Joe Biden flubbing it for four years during the Trump interregnum

                If you’ve got haemorrhoids, it’s OK to want them gone, even if you know they’ve got underlying cause. Likewise, you can do both: see the systemic problems that enabled Trump, and still be happy to see the motherfucker meet his timely demise.

            You don’t have to be Nostrodamus to predict that the 80 year old man who really looks their age and has near monthly “routine” health checks and brags about passing the kinds of cognitive tests they only give when they think you have dementia is going to die soon…

              I think people are getting their hopes too high expecting him to expire any day now. Actuarial tables for men give only like a 5-6% chance of death in a year for men his age. While he’s obviously not in peak condition, the average Americans those tables are based on certainly aren’t either and unlike most of them he does have the benefit of insane resources to throw at whatever medical challenge (ex. the experimental Covid therapy that saved his life when he got infected with that) and very regular scanning. Plus genetics is a factor and his dad lived to 93 while his mom got to 88.
