  There's a lot of conspiratorial misinformation going around about this. The US election system is very secure. Its decentralization is its strength. Thousands of offices employ volunteers to manually count ballots, 98% of which are paper. The count is a multi-week endeavor and everything is verifiable. Yes there are mistakes and occasional bad…

  I only point to this silly story b/c it makes two glaring errors, (1) of conflation of radioactive risks from dirty bombs with nukes, (2) and buying the false narrative that Iran can target the US with nukes. Trump is scared and desperate. The apologist media is trying to cover for him. # USPol # IranWar https://www. axios.com/2026/10/06/trump-ira…

  It’s not a surprise. Republicans are allowed to go on the Sunday morning shows and the right wing shows and talk shit about blue states, blue cities, and blue voters all the live long day 24/7. But don’t you dare call republican voters deplorable or garbage. You’ll have to apologize for not toeing the line of decency.

  President Trump suggested Iran could “take out a city,” saying: “Let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego.” “Keep our city out of your reckless war talk,” San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria said.

  so the 1% can sleep comfortable with their billions But they're not comfortable with those billions. They always want more, more, more. They're never satisfied. They would literally steal money from a child's lemonade stand. That's the level of avarice that afflicts the Epstein class.

  UPDATE: Steven Cheung, a White House spokesman, says Trump was "clearly stating U.S. cities would have been threatened if a nuclear Iran hadn't been stopped" when he said to "let them take out" San Diego & LA. "America is safer because of the President," he added.

  I’m not “from the side supporting Trump” (anymore) but it’s obvious that he was saying “Paying more for gas temporarily is a small price to pay for preventing Iran from taking out LA and San Diego.” Yes, he’s senile and inarticulate but he’s not whatever the media says he is.

  I’m sure her efforts negatively impacted him. But the narrative is one where Sanders was definitely going to win until the DNC somehow stole it off from him. There is no evidence he was ever (ever!) more popular than Clinton among Democratic primaries voters.

  No one would celebrate if he suggested nuking Des Moines or Houston. Californians would not be celebrating that. Anyone celebrating this remark should be considered more a MAGA cult member than an American.

  Forget service members; how many PEOPLE live there and in Los Angeles? That's more than 5 MILLION people that Trump just casually said could all DIE.
