"Obliterated" or not, unless the enriched uranium has been vapourised, it may still exist in some form.
Again, with all of the advance warning, it's fairly likely that the stockpile of enriched uranium was moved as well.  The centrifuges might be a different story.

From the above PBS article:

Quote
The Israeli military also confirmed it struck roads around Iran’s Fordo enrichment facility to obstruct access to the site.

They took out the roads to prevent emergency responders from trying to help people who may have been trapped or dying in the rubble. This is reprehensible, and likely a war crime. Attacking the survivors of a bombing is distinctly different than the bombing of the infrastructure itself.
But the site was obliterated, according to Trump.  Shouldn't have BEEN survivors.  And if Israel just wanted to kill anyone who tried to assess damage just because they can... yeah, that's a war crime.
Trump had been talking about the strike for days, so the site was most likely already evacuated, therefore it's doubtful that anybody was trapped or dying in the rubble.

But Trump said they did.  Hit that site and obliterated it. 
Trump also said that there was a cease fire.  Apparently neither side got the memo.

Then Israel hits the same spot again.
The article said that they hit the roads going to that spot, among other targets.

Oh hey, something we all missed.

Apparently, Israel wanted to attack an already obliterated site.  Weird, right?  Almost like Trump is lying about how much damage was done.  Probably why he's blocking congress from seeing the reports.
Or, maybe the US and other previous strikes didn’t take out every possible target.

Before too long, they might have to start letting the illegals in again so that they have someone to deport.

Tom, when it comes to polls, remember that there are 3 kinds of lies in this world: lies, damned lies, and statistics.   Polls definitely fall into the third category.

I do have criticisms about Trump...
You do?  Would you care to share some of them?

Russia in WWII was more of a "the enemy of my enemy" alliance of necessity.

Would you, like the woman, enter an area cordoned off by police?

If yes, what would you expect to happen?

Did you not even read the headlines?  She was trying to get home.  It was even in the url.

Just out of curiosity, wasn't Trump supposed to get tougher with drug dealers?
President Donald Trump has long called for escalating the U.S. drug war against Mexican cartels and wants tougher penalties for dealers selling fentanyl and other street drugs in American communities. “I am ready for it, the death penalty, if you deal drugs,” Trump said, during a meeting with state governors in February, where he said dealers are too often treated with a “slap on the wrist.”

But despite his tough rhetoric, Trump has sparked controversy by pardoning a growing number of convicted drug dealers, including this week’s move to grant clemency to Larry Hoover, age 74, who was serving multiple life sentences in federal prison for crimes linked to his role leading the Chicago-based Gangster Disciples.

If Russia wanted Ukraine it would have had it in the early stages of the war. Russia wants to be ethical about it and so it is only taking the breakaway regions. It's not a coincidence that it's current territories are the areas which wanted to break away.
Did they vote to secede before or after Russia invaded?

There was a correlation between stage 5 and a Gleason score of 9 as to how severe cancer is, so that little "gotcha moment," is a fucking nothingburger from RE as usual.
There is no stage 5 cancer either.
Ooh...My finger tapped the wrong fucking key on the keyboard!!! Call the goddamn police, ya shitbird!!!
That’s okay, Donald Trump Jr got it wrong too, so you’re in good company.

It could be that we’re all wrong about why Qatar wants to “gift” the luxury 747 to Trump.  It seems that they’re just trying to get rid of the damned thing.
While many have speculated that the Qataris have offered Trump the luxurious plane to curry favor with the famously transactional president, there may be a simpler rationale: they just don’t want it anymore.

The royals have failed to sell the plane, which was put on the market in 2020, according to an archived listing. Giving it away could save Qatar’s rulers a big chunk of change on maintenance and storage costs, aviation experts told Forbes. Making Trump happy would be an added bonus.

So... A white elefant gift?
A gift horse with bad teeth?

…the same federal agency Trump is turning the plane over to.
What Trump promises and what Trump does are not always the same.  He says that the plane should be ready by the end of the year.   That would only be possible if he intentionally forgoes many of the safety and security measures that make a proper Air Force One.
