Tim Miller and Sarah Longwell give their takes on the Trump White House calling an early “lid” during an escalating war with Iran. As Trump claims the U.S. military is “unstoppable,” American fighter jets were shot down and a service member is missing. Sarah also explains that swing voters are turning against Trump, feeling misled as the war drags on and prices rise. They also discuss Trump’s repeated “48-hour” threats, rising oil costs, and the growing gap between his rhetoric and reality.

Chinese intelligence is definitely helping they’re getting better at shooting our planes

He lies, because he hasn’t a clue what is going on.

And the guy still claims the US has complete control of the airspace over Iran.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump thinks that counts as air offense.

Trump making any kind of statement or declaration of any kind has to be the most laughably inaccurate way of getting real or factual information.
If he’s not lying, he’s uninformed. If he’s not uninformed, he’s guessing. If he’s not guessing, he’s babbling nonsense. If he’s not babbling nonsense, he’s lying. Rinse and repeat.

Whoever believed what he said is a Moron. Like the MAGAts.

and they shot down the rescue jet too. Not sure why The US media or whitehouse isnt reporting this. They instead claimed the pilot was saved.

lol. Fuck this Log Cabin Republican and the Bulwark. I’m so fucking tired of these Neocons.
Tim Miller was fine with throwing his fellow gay men and women to the wolves his entire life until Trump came along and he figured out how to make a buck pivoting.
Bro worked for Jeb Bush and still considers himself a conservative.
As soon as Trump is gone he’s going to be back to promoting the same pro-life anti-lgbt conservative bullshit.

The rescue mission shows two things: (1) we have a badass special ops and (2) its absolutely wasted on this idiotic orange asshat president

This is exactly why military intel shouldn’t be handled like a campaign rally speech. There are real consequences for downplaying threats like this.

It’s like putting a worthless piece of shit who spent his life committing at least one felony before breakfast every day, and who knows nothing about anything, in a position of actual responsibility was a bad idea.

Everything Trump says and does is completely fake nonsense. He’s been this way his whole life

So Trump lied ??!!

I think we all know its bullshit that Trump claimed there was no air defense. These guys had a navy, a military, and they were attempting to refine a nuke warhead. He really wants us to believe there was no air defense?There is no way he wasnt told there was some air threat and he totally sent these pilots into that uncertainty knowing they could be shot down. Hes a fucking idiot.

My word. Are you implying that the president _lied_?
It’s not like it’s raining down American jets though. The outrage of one plane shot down out of probably thousands of sorties is a bit strange.
I would love to see more outrage for the war being started at the first place.

Trump is obviously clueless.

They shot down three more aircraft in the rescue mission

Trump is the king of lies and exaggeration but this isn’t the own some people seem to think it is. Taking down one F-15 and one Warthog out of thousands of flight missions isn’t what most people would consider effective air defenses.
It’s not zero, but it’s effectively zero when you can’t prevent any target in your country from getting hit.

Hes sabotaging our troops and likely under putin’s orders. I do not trust agent krasnov one bit
All this to destroy irans nuclear facilities that were supposedly already obliterated

That is Trumps lie as President number 13.267
AverageCowboyCentaur on
It was already verified they are only telling Trump select things, curated highlights reel every morning of the war.
His decisions are all based off the video clips he’s shown. Like a kid watching YouTube shorts or insta reels, that’s his updates.
The dangerous thing is there are no negatives in the clips. I doubt he will ever be allowed to see the Iran Rap videos made in Lego about him. That’s to sad and they can’t allow that, his mind will race into anger and get stuck there.
The complete detachment from reality is manufactured by his handlers. What worries me is the change recently in posting habits by him or the social media team. There is a focus on Vance now, like they want his base to favor him.
Do you think MAGA knows its all theatrics and lies, like how wrestling fans know it’s all fake but they watch anyways?
