Remember when Trump was trying to gut and destroy TikTok. It's too bad that didn't get done.Guess who's gonna partake in US Mid-Term Elections? If you guess China, thanks to the Biden crime family, you guessed right!
EXCLUSIVE: Joe Biden Enlists China Owned TikTok to Partner with Federal Voting Assistance Program in 2022 Midterm Elections
Official Tiktok announcement:
Our commitment to election integrity
Yep! The rot within our system runs deep. China's investment into the Deep State has been very lucrative. That and their PSYOPS campaigns have been a resounding success for them.Remember when Trump was trying to gut and destroy TikTok. It's too bad that didn't get done.
Yep! And it pains me to this day to think about what he could’ve accomplished if he would’ve stayed off of Twitter and let his policies do his talking.Remember when Trump was trying to gut and destroy TikTok. It's too bad that didn't get done.
Cool.Seriously... mean tweets? No one believes that line of BS anymore. An election was stolen and <snip>
Sources? Anyone looking for a source?Seriously... mean tweets? No one believes that line of BS anymore. An election was stolen and the puppet put in place is firmly in the pockets of the PRC. Twitter has been revealed to be the sham and our MSM is a shittier woke version of Pravda.
To top everything off, China the people who literally vivisect people alive are gonna "help" administer US mid-term elections... yeah, that dog don't hunt.
But sure, lets blame "mean tweets".
An election was stolen
My man went way, WAY back for that one.April Glaspie, April Glaspie, please come to reception.
Had Trump stayed off Twitter the amount of corruption required to prevent his re-election would be staggering. He'd have been a B-29 to Biden's Japan without his Twitter tirades.

Liked his support of Israel, his stand on illegal immigration, his dialogue with NK and a number of his policies...but the man never missed an opportunity to open his big mouth and take it over the top. The stolen election shit was the last straw for me.
I'm interested in this. I looked up "bomber task force" in the context of Iran, but it seems like we were doing those kinds of ops well before the election. Understanding that I just did a quick skim, it also seemed to me like these were usual, legit show-of-force measures that we regularly take against our adversaries, such as in the waters around Taiwan.My thoughts on Trump are complicated and given my inability to keep it short are...lengthy.
Trump straight up, no shit, tried to provoke a war with Iran post-election but pre-inauguration.
Whether I shouldn't, I can lay out my case, but I'd like to think my rep on this board is enough. Regardless, we did some provocative shit and the Iranians didn't bite. I worked in one of AFCENT's command and control facilities and watched it unfold in real time. Look up "bomber task force" and that should help anyone connect the dots.
Here's the deal.It also seems to me that if President Trump really wanted war with Iran, he could have legitimately directed steps that would have ensured that it happened.
I'm open to persuasion about the bolded part, but I'm not seeing it right now.
IMO (again), we are already at war with Iran.

The most provocative thing I can recall President Trump doing towards Iran was the Suleimani strike, but that also happened pre-election IIRC.
I remember some people making the claim the President Trump would start a war to try to stay in power after he lost the election, but IMO these were the same kind of people who made similar comments about President Obama, just on the other side.
It also seems to me that if President Trump really wanted war with Iran, he could have legitimately directed steps that would have ensured that it happened.
IMO (again), we are already at war with Iran. From the Levant to South America to Iraq, and now even in our homeland (targeting Salman Rushdie and John Bolton), Iran has attacked us, and our allies and interests, again and again. In Iraq they were the ones supplying the materials for the game-changing EFPs, and providing the expertise for insurgents on the ground to carry out complex attacks that kidnapped and killed our service members.
Whatever his motivations, I think President Trump generally made the right calls vis-à-vis Iran. Tearing up the Framework was the right call. Suleimani? Glad he's dead. Deterrence through military and economic coercion? That's probably the only thing that's going to work at this point.

Trump did not want a war, the chairman believed, but he kept pushing for a missile strike in response to various provocations against U.S. interests in the region. Milley, by statute the senior military adviser to the President, was worried that Trump might set in motion a full-scale conflict that was not justified. Trump had a circle of Iran hawks around him and was close with the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who was also urging the Administration to act against Iran after it was clear that Trump had lost the election. “If you do this, you’re gonna have a fucking war,” Milley would say.
The whole thing came about because of a report by the New Yorker that said Gen. Milley had to repeatedly talk Trump and other non-military officials out of ordering a strike on Iran.
Does that sound like something Trump wanted to do? Sure, but I don't think it would have been him trying to start a war to stay in power so much as him listening to the hawks in his cabinet.
