Kash wasn't in the loop about the war? Well, I wouldn't put him in the loop, either.

A shipment of Chevy Tahoes was delivered to the Whipple building yesterday, which means they will be terrorizing our streets in the next few days. Still waiting on that drawdown...

I'm waiting to find out how the administration will blame illegal immigrants and liberal white feminists for this new Middle East war.

The maggots are at War with each other. Trump's rash -- syphilis, shingles, pre-skin cancer? Looks
a lot like shingles to me.

Rubio energetically defending what they did to Iran.

β€œIt had to happen”. β€œPreemptively”.

β€œPreventive war was an invention of Hitler. Frankly, I would not even listen to anyone seriously that came and talked about such a thing.”

As a military brat I had parents who embraced the adventure of new places & showed us how to respect & appreciate being a visitor in another country. I understand how to assimilate as a tourist. Now is a bad time to be traveling overseas. Hostility to Americans is real regardless of how we act.

Hegseth is saying we precisely unleashed air power to destroy a girls school. By his definition, then, not being politically correct means it is righteous to kill children and hit hospitals. So, yes, I will wring my hands and pray to my God for the innocents killed by this hubris.

U.S. taxpayers have likely spent between $100 million to $132.5 million in one evening bombing Iran. But we have to cut Medicaid funding that helped people get healthcare.

A clear sign "we the people" are not the priority and none of the powers to be care.

Trump was never interested in peace. It was all a con. Your first clue should have been when he changed the Department of Defense to the Department of War. Since then he has bombed 8 different countries, a bunch of little boats, and Iran, including a school full of little girls. He gets off on it.

You are a tad ignorant of the history of American foreign policy since 1945.

The aggressive stance has been core Republican since the Dulles brothers (Alan & John Foster). DOJ doesn't have sole custody of the Epstein material. Iran, earlier today, suggested they might do a dump.

He's been itching to play warfighter, and Epstein gave him the impetus to do so. Wonder just how abysmal those missing 53 pages are? Let's leave nomenclature games to MAGA talking points. Cause-effect, rather than definition, better applies here.

I really hope that every single person who was so stupid they believed his lies about ending wars in the middle east feels so much shame and regret, they collapse into a singularity.

We told you so. We fucking told you so.

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.

Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

MAGA Republicans are terrified of women voting. So they’re pushing the SAVE America Act to choke our registration, demand papers many don’t have, and purge us from the rolls. They fear our power, our rage, our turnout. We will not be silenced. Call 202-224-3121.
