Be Evil. Be a dick.
Barack Obama famously supported eliminating the Electoral College during his time as an Illinois state senator, notably stating during a 2004 debate that the system was breaking down. However, as he transitioned into the presidency, he never actively pursued its abolition. He addressed this shift in perspective directly during a December 2016 press conference. When asked about reforming the Electoral College, he acknowledged its drawbacks but explained that changing it was not an actionable priority. He cited the following reasons: Massive Constitutional Hurdles: Abolishing the system entirely would require a difficult constitutional amendment (requiring a two-thirds vote in Congress and ratification by 38 states).Priorities in Office: During his terms, he focused his political capital on issues like the Affordable Care Act, economic recovery, and other legislative priorities rather than structural constitutional reform. Ultimately, he noted that if the popular vote and Electoral College align, the system functions as designed without widespread public outcry, though he acknowledged it puts a premium on swing states.

I'm not complaining about what he didn't do after the fact, and I'm not suggesting that you do either.
What you should be pissed about is that he knew full fucking well that it was NEVER, EVER going to happen, but just like all of your chronic lying Democrats do, he ran hard as hell on the "fact" that it was going to be a top priority for his administration.
They get away with doing that every election. Over and over and over and overa again..
Because you are fucking stupid.
So don't talk to me about politicians who don't keep their promises if you're only ever going to talk about Trump.
Show me a politician that doesn't renege on most of their promises and I'll show you a fucking unicorn.

‘Worse than Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan Combined’:
Donald Trump faces a political crisis like no other if Hormuz isn’t opened by Labor Day
By Harry J. Kazianis | May 26, 2026

istan-combined-donald-trump-faces-a-political-crisis-like-no-other-if-hormuz-isnt-opened-by-labor-day/
Labor Day 2026 falls on September 7. From today’s date, May 26, that is 14 weeks away. The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed to normal commercial traffic since the opening of Operation Epic Fury on February 28, which means we are already at the 13 week mark of a disruption that energy analysts originally modeled as the worst-case sustained closure scenario.
If the strait remains effectively closed through Labor Day, the United States will be at the twenty-seven-week mark of disruption — more than double the duration the global oil market was designed to withstand without permanent damage. The SPR (U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve) would be at the lowest level in more than three decades. Brent would likely trade well above $130 per barrel under that scenario, with the upside ceiling energy analysts have circulated at $175 per barrel, representing sustained physical scarcity rather than a financial market panic. Gasoline at American pumps would reach $5.50 to $6.00 per gallon. Inflation, already running at 4.5 percent PCE through Q1, would accelerate sharply again. The Federal Reserve would face the choice of either tightening monetary policy into an active oil shock or accepting the kind of sustained price increases that produced the political destruction of the Carter administration in 1979 and 1980.
But, to be frank, the above is a more optimistic scenario. Some experts I have talked to are firmly convinced that if we get to Labor Day and there is no deal to open the Strait, a deep recession is very possible. These experts believe we will draw down the SPR much faster, creating an energy crisis we could only dream of. Think 1970s gas lines sort of stuff.

Maybe we'd take your warnings seriously if you didn't scream your fucking heads off all day, every day about every little tiny thing.
You're almost always wrong about everything too, so there's that.
Nobody cares about your opinions, Second, or those of the idiot assholes you get them from.

The Military Strikes Do Not Hide The Fact That The US Has No Good Military Options Against Iran

Will Trump get some form of words from Iran about a nuclear deal that he can sell to the US population as better than that negotiated by President Obama under the JCPOA? The problem is that nothing he is getting so far, as he seems to grasp, is as good as the JCPOA. As such, it seems to be dawning on him that he might have to accept a deal that leaves Iran in control of its nuclear destiny. He even tweeted about it late on Monday in what looks like a clear attempt to prepare his supporters for this eventuality.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
The Enriched Uranium (Nuclear Dust!) will either be immediately turned over to the United States to be brought home and destroyed or, preferably, in conjunction and coordination with the Islamic Republic of Iran, destroyed in place or, at another acceptable location, with the Atomic Energy Commission, or its equivalent, being witness to this process and event. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT
Anything “destroyed in place or, an another acceptable location” means out of US control—nothing more or nothing less. Maybe Putin’s Russia will do? It certainly would qualify under Trump’s criterion.

Trump called on almost all the Arab states in the region to agree to join the Abraham Accords and recognize Israel.
It was the reaction, or lack thereof, that was really illuminating of US decline. Trump did not just tweet this; he was very serious about it and mentioned it in a conference call to the leaders of key Islamic states. The response of those leaders was stunned silence, so much so that Trump was worried that the call had been dropped. As one story said:
“There was silence on the line and Trump joked and asked if they are still there”
Since then, not a single state has agreed to Trump’s request and no one even seems to be taking it seriously. The truth is that the states Trump was trying to cajole into joining the Abraham Accords are now more than acquainted with US weakness and unreliability. The last thing they are going to do is jump to the tune of a declining US that is being outmaneuvered by Iran. It used to be that when the US president suggested a major foreign policy move, people would at least respond.
The US is being defied by its enemies and dismissed by its friends and it is all happening in front of our eyes.

Every few weeks, there's a new disaster that would have sunk any other president

For example, take the war in Iran. Trump launched this war with no immediate provocation or casus belli — a simple opportunistic war of aggression that incinerated whatever shreds of goodwill remained towards the United States among much of the international community.
Trump then proceeded — so far, at least — to lose the war he started. Despite the preemptive strike and America’s far greater technological capability, Iran reportedly retains most of its arsenal of weaponry:
US intelligence assessments show that Iran retains significant missile capabilities despite repeated claims by the Trump administration that Tehran’s military had been severely weakened, according to a report by The New York Times…The report said intelligence findings compiled in early May showed Iran had regained operational access to 30 of its 33 missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz. Officials familiar with the assessments told the newspaper that Iran still possesses roughly 70 percent of its prewar missile stockpile and mobile launchers…Citing reports from military intelligence agencies, the report stated that Iran has regained access to roughly 90 percent of its underground missile storage and launch facilities nationwide, which are now assessed to be “partially or fully operational.”
And:
Iran has already restarted some of its drone production during the six-week ceasefire that began in early April, one sign it is rapidly rebuilding certain military capabilities degraded by US-Israeli strikes, according to two sources familiar with US intelligence assessments. Four sources told CNN that US intelligence indicates Iran’s military is reconstituting much faster than initially estimated…The rebuilding of military capabilities, including replacing missile sites, launchers and production capacity for key weapons systems destroyed during the current conflict, means that Iran remains a significant threat to regional allies…It also calls into question claims about the extent to which US-Israeli strikes have degraded Iran’s military in the long term…
Iran has been able to rebuild much faster than expected due to a combination of factors, ranging from the support it is receiving from Russia and China to the fact that the US and Israel did not inflict as much damage as the two countries had hoped, one of the sources told CNN.
America’s own stock of weapons, on the other hand, has been dangerously depleted in the conflict, and our defense-industrial base is not managing to rebuild them.
Even as the U.S. has failed to cripple Iran’s military, Iran’s military has succeeded in closing the Strait of Hormuz, sending gasoline prices soaring and causing a significant bump in inflation:
Incapable of defeating Iran on the battlefield and increasingly wounded by Iran’s economic retaliation, Trump is pushing hard for any sort of face-saving deal that would allow him to exit the conflict quickly. Whatever deal Trump eventually cuts is going to leave Iran in a much stronger position — and American interests in the region — much weaker than before Trump launched his war. Here’s Robert Kagan:
Defeat for the United States, therefore, is not only possible but likely. Here is what defeat looks like.
Iran remains in control of the Strait of Hormuz. The common assumption that, one way or another, the strait will reopen when the crisis ends is unfounded. Iran has no interest in returning to the status quo ante…The power to close or control the flow of ships through the strait is greater and more immediate than the theoretical power of Iran’s nuclear program. This leverage will allow the leaders in Tehran to force nations to lift sanctions and normalize relations or face penalties…
The new status quo in the strait will also occasion a substantial shift in relative power and influence both regionally and globally. In the region, the United

By what metric?
I don't recall Iran making a single strike on American soil. I've read that Iran has seen an estimated 3,500 dead compared to 13 Americans. That's nearly 270 times the amount of deaths of Americans. We've destroyed a ton of their infrastructure and war machines. To this day, not a single warship has been sunk by Iran, yet we've sunk dozens of theirs.

The Iran war has increased U.S. consumer fuel bills by an estimated $40 billion to $45 billion, according to analyses from Brown University's Costs of War project and energy market trackers. The soaring fuel costs break down as follows: Gasoline: Accounts for over $20 billion of the total increase. Diesel: Adds another $16.9 billion, which directly raises the costs of trucking, rail, and farming that get passed on to consumers.Aviation: U.S. airlines experienced a spike in jet fuel expenses, costing over $3.2 billion more commercially. On an individual level, this surge equates to an additional $300 to $330 per average American household. For further details on the economic impact, check out the full Brown University Costs of War Report or the OilPrice.com Analysis.

Obviously? What property are you talking about. Provide legitimate links.
And on the flip-side, you fucking idiots have been telling us that Ukraine has been winning the war for 4 years now and the US alone has pissed away over $200 Billion in US taxpayer dollars on them.
Your double standards for judging everything are just gross.
