Are you this stupid IRL?
Who in the fuck EVER said ANY "Dome" would stop 100% of the missiles and
rockets fired at Israel?
Because 10% of Hamas/Muslim missiles get through, that means the EXACT same
number will get through to The United States?
You have any kind of proof of that?
You DO realize, stupid, that America and Israel couldn't be MORE different, in
terms of WHERE we are and what and who we're surrounded by?
There is NO logic that says, because Israel stopped "only" 90% of the rockets
and missiles fired at them, the EXACT same rate will apply to the U.S..
NONE.
Pay attention letters in all CAPS.
Fact Check:
The IRON DOME air defense system intercepts 90% of ROCKETS fired, according to
reporting. It does not intercept BALLISTIC MISSILES.
Israel uses David's Sling and the Arrows missile defense systems against
ballistic missiles.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing Secretary of
Defense Pete Hegseth to develop a missile defense plan to defend the United
States from ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles and other aerial threats,
according to DefenseScoop.
Since no one's stupid enough to fire ballistic missiles at either Israel or
America, there's no telling what percentage will be knocked down.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has
been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the
point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the
Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or
stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The
president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were
all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's
vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of
hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from
reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk
opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump does. If Trump
announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would
suggest he was up to something nefarious, according to the logic of TDS.
There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be
received positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early
2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch line for late-
night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first
coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer back in 2003.
The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in
otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay -
the very existence of George W. Bush."
