    Saying it’s a mistake implies that the American people sanctioned the actions, which is not the case. Trump is an embedded enemy operative, and he needs to be taken to gitmo and put in solitary indefinitely. I wouldn’t even have him questioned for the first year.

    Me me me me me!!! Doesn’t care about Iranians, just that they are getting screwed over.

    I’m angry because I fucking know my country is the exact same way.

    100%

    I’m one of them. The income I make would have put me in the upper middle class just five years ago. Now? I save every single dollar. I’ve spent the last year and a half making sure my pantry’s full and I have enough water to last a couple of months. (Not a doomsday prepper, just want to have enough on hand to weather supply chain disruptions.)

    I’ve found the disappearance of places I want to go to be very tough for my mental health. The places I do want to go cost significantly more now, and as someone who budgets, I have to determine mathematically if it’s worth the exorbitant cost. Often, I decide it’s not and I stay home instead.

    It’s a huge bummer to have lived such a full life until Biden and Donald came along. I know full well what I’m missing, and all to keep about 2000 people so stupidly wealthy that they can brag to each other about who has a few dollars more than the other, because it’s basically impossible for them to spend it all.

    If i were to lose my job tomorrow, I’d honestly consider self-deletion, knowing how precarious the job market is now too.
