So if they come and bomb America in retaliation for the bombing we are doing to them, will this administration call it a terrorist attack?

Are they even using their common sense to consider how this might affect American citizens minding their businesses at home?


Last night, Trump said about Iran: “We’re gonna bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong.”
Let that sink in.
He’s talking about Persia — one of the oldest civilizations on the planet. A culture that was writing poetry, mapping the stars, and building architectural wonders while much of the world was still figuring out agriculture. Iran has been continuously inhabited for over 7,000 years. They gave the world algebra, chess, the concept of human rights under Cyrus the Great, and some of the most breathtaking art and literature in human history.
And this man — who can barely string together a coherent sentence — thinks they “belong” in the stone age.
There are 90 million people living in Iran right now. Mothers sending kids to school. College students cramming for exams. Doctors. Teachers. Poets. Old men playing backgammon in the park. Young women dreaming of futures they deserve. Families sitting down to dinner.
They are not their government. Just like Americans are not ours.
Threatening to bomb a civilian population “back to the stone age” isn’t strength. It’s a war crime dressed up as a punchline. It’s genocidal rhetoric delivered with a smirk at a podium.
The world is watching. History is watching. And history — something Trump clearly never studied — tends to remember who the barbarians actually were.

I don’t feel bad for them.

Conservative women are an embarrassment to the progress we’ve made over centuries. Imagine crossing all the hurdles life (read men) have put in our path through ages past and decide that what you want is for us to go back in time. Shame on them.

I feel bad for the women who have worked for Trump.

No one would be surprised, considering the way conservative men here like to bend over for Trump and obsess about what other men are doing with their body parts. It’s giving submissive no matter what.

A triple D cup would be THE LEAST surprising thing anyone would find in their closet.

He went for the biggest breast size 😳

Damn! The husband was even telling another person he/she/her knew his wifey is been bedded by Mr. Corey L who is also married with 5 kids!

this is how you build another generation of terrorists and sow the seeds of a forever war
also how you energize alqaeda and isis
then tell stories about how 'they hate freedom', they hate our way of life.

A balanced Democratic Socialism is the way forward in The United States🇺🇸💪🇺🇸

Unbridled capitalism where the CEO overlords are prioritized over everything is the reason why we will end up in a dystopian society very soon.

A dystopian society where the “weak and unproductive” such as aging and disabled folks (or frankly whosoever they decide has no value) will be used as fuel to power the “productivity” machines of Elon and co.

Sounds like fear mongering now until it comes to your doorsteps. Like everything else we’ve said before that are actually happening now.

The claim would be previous presidents also pardoned offenders. So Trump can go ahead to pardon the worst of the worst.

It's a well orchestrated campaign..A judge blocks , knowing the case will take months before Supreme court throws it out. Judges overruled constitutionally by appeals court should be sent back to law school.
There is another one who ruled that the ballroom construction be stopped pronto. Congress must give approval. The ballroom is privately funded
In court filings it was revealed that the ballroom was also a cover for a massive military bunker construction underneath. It should be something that bunker bursting bombs can't penetrate.
The executive doesn't have to ask Congress on such matters I think when some of them have Chinese wives for example (Mitch McConnell)

Extracted Answer:
-----------------------------------
A U.S. President does not have the unilateral legal power to make extensive structural changes to the White House, such as building a new 90,000-square-foot banquet hall, without Congressional authorization.While presidents have historically made minor updates (like Richard Nixon’s bowling alley or Barack Obama’s basketball court), major structural modifications fall under a different legal standard.

1. Stewardship vs. Ownership: The core legal principle, recently reaffirmed by federal courts, is that the President is the steward of the White House, not its owner. Because the White House is a federally owned historic structure, the executive branch must identify a specific statutory authority (a law passed by Congress) to justify large-scale construction.

2. Required Approvals: For any significant project, several bodies typically provide oversight:Congress: Must expressly authorize the erection of buildings on federal land in D.C. and usually controls the funding (unless private donations are used, which creates its own set of legal and ethical complexities).

National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC): Has review authority over new construction on federal properties in the capital.U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA): Provides advisory reviews on the design and "aesthetic integrity" of the landmark.

3. Historical and Modern Precedents: The Truman Reconstruction (1948–1952): When the White House became structurally unsound, President Truman did not simply order a rebuild. Congress had to pass legislation and appropriate roughly $5.7 million for the project.The 2025–2026 Ballroom Controversy: In late 2025, a project began to demolish the East Wing to build a massive $400 million ballroom.

In March 2026, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction to halt construction, ruling that the National Trust for Historic Preservation was likely to succeed in arguing that no law gave the President the power to authorize a project of that magnitude on his own.4. Exemptions and LoopholesInterestingly, the White House is expressly exempt from the National Historic Preservation Act (specifically Section 106), meaning it doesn't have the same "protection from demolition" that other historic sites enjoy.

However, this exemption does not grant the President the power to build new structures; that authority still rests with the legislative branch's control over federal property.In summary, while a President can pick the wallpaper or add a putting green, building a new hall requires a "green light" from Congress.

But of course!

Same US kept Nelson Mandela on their terrorism watchlist till 2008.

Dwell on that!

He became President of SA IN 1994 FOR HEAVENS SAKE.

So they considered him a terrorist threat for 14 years after that!

The law is very clear. If you are born here you are a citizen. The Republican justices claim to want a "strict" reading of the law except when their "precious" Trump wants to prevent anyone of color from being a citizen, then the law is somehow unclear??

I'm sure if it is a White child of two Canadians he or she would be a US citizen. However, if the parents were originally from Mexico, the child would not be a citizen of any country and suffer the consequences.

Racism disguised as patriotism. As pointed out in many posts, many of Trump's own children were from a non-citizen. Are we making an exception for them? I seriously doubt it.

If someone is born here in America the constitution says they are a citizen!!
