“Massive” war launched by a man with no plan. Again. Donald Trump is repeating George W. Bush's catastrophic mistakes.

My latest: "Trump has no plan for Iran. Just blow shit up, kill some people, and hope for the best. It is the war of a Mad King."

Optics.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

The billionaires’ kids will pay no price. But American kids have already died for a war of vanity and choice. A war that will result in hardline leadership remaining in Iran and no meaningful impact on their nuclear program. A likely moral and strategic disaster.

100%. I bet he's golfing right this minute.

I do appreciate that this administration is too incompetent to manufacture even the thinnest pretext for this, so we don't have to relive that 2002-2003 run when opposing an obviously idiotic war basically made you feel like the one sane person in a Twilight Zone episode.

Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."

“Master, your plan is working, they are distracted away from talking about Epstein Files and about you being accused of raping children. Which country should we attack next?”

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.

But since she asked,

"Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States."

I don’t think they’ve actually thought it through that far

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Can you please stop opening the curtain in the SCIF!

Never stop talking about the Epstein Files, fascist republicans will literally do anything to distract from it.

Never stop talking about the Epstein Files.

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️

US-Israeli strike on girls' school kills at least 85 students, Iran's judiciary says At least 85 students have been killed in US-Israeli strikes that hit an Iranian girls' school in Hormozgan province, Iran's judiciary said on Saturday. Washington has not commented on the reported str...

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

It's always about the election he lost.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

This type of bullshit is beyond ridiculous. How the fuck did Martha Stewart go to fed prison for insider trading and this orange prick makes 100 million on these types of deals and NO ONE fucking points this out. If Biden/Obama/either Bush did this heads would explode. Ask any AI what this means BAD

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

Karoline Leavitt @PressSec. 1h President Trump monitored the situation overnight at Mar a Lago alongside members of his national security team. The President spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu by phone. Prior to the attacks, Secretary Rubio called all members of the gang of eight to provide congressional notification, and he was able to reach and brief seven of the eight members. The President and his national security team will continue to closely monitor the situation throughout the day. 2.8K 4.6K 30K 1.3M

Donald Trump using Mar A Lago, a civilian establishment with no significant air defences, as a military command centre.

If you were at work today and you got a phone call from your wife that France just blew up your kid's school, your lifelong opinion of France is probably not going to be anything other than "Death to France"

There better be a damn good reason an elementary school was designated as a military target.

To be clear, it's a war crime to use non-military targets like a school as a shield for military forces. So if Iran did that, I expect to see some damn good evidence demonstrating that was the case.

Two things can be true at once.

Trump, neocons, war hawks, pro Israel lobby and Christian nationalists want their regime change in Iran.

And Trump wants to distract from the fact he allegedly raped girls with Epstein and has a failed Presidency and GOP are posed to lose big in the elections.

Trump in 2011: “Unfortunately, we have a president that doesn’t know the first thing about negotiation. We have a real problem in the White House. So, I believe that he will attack Iran, sometime prior to the election, because he thinks that’s the only way he can get elected.”

Deeply conflicted, Kushner represents the U.S. in high-stakes negotiations with Iran Today in Geneva, Switzerland, Jared Kushner will represent the United States in meetings with Iranian officials — a last

As Trump ramps up his warmongering with Iran, his own son-in-law Jared Kushner — who is leading negotiations with Iran — stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals.

The Trump family's insatiable greed endangers us all.

For Trump, a military conflict with Iran would distract from:

-Epstein files
-His deadly deportation agenda
-Losing on tariffs at SCOTUS
-Tanking polls
-His devastating (and unpopular) budget bill
-Millions of people protesting his authoritarianism

When he's cornered, he lashes out. Be warned.

FWIW, this is sec. 2(c) of the War Powers Resolution:

We are at war with Iran because Trump raped kids, including forcing a 14 year-old to give him oral sex.
