We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman made multiple private phone calls to Donald Trump last month, urging him to launch military action against Iran, even as he publicly favoured diplomacy, according to a report by The Washington Post.

The report said the crown prince pressed for a strike despite earlier public statements in January in which he insisted Saudi Arabia would not allow its airspace or territory to be used for attacks on Iran. At the time, he called for dialogue between Washington and Tehran and said Riyadh respected Iran’s sovereignty.

The US and Israel went on to carry out joint strikes targeting Iranian military and government sites after nuclear talks stalled and amid claims that Tehran had resumed aspects of its nuclear programme. President Trump said the “heavy and pinpoint bombing” would continue for as long as necessary.

So, it looks like the Maralago Independent Living Facility has decided to go with 'Iran is terrible to its people' as the cause of this.

Trump has:

  • Set up ICE and taken over peaceful cities to cause chaos and harm to democratic states.
  • Is arresting, torturing and deporting american citizens as well as legal and illegal immigrants, most with no recent crime records
  • Executing citizens
  • Using illegal and dangerous chemicals on protestors
  • Taking over the election
  • Shitting on the constitution
  • etc.
