Allow me to translate the Senate Majority Leader: β€œNo. I think Donald Trump has the authority to do whatever he wants. He is a king, and we bow before him. In fact, we Senate Republicans proudly & adoringly work for him. We took an oath to defend HIM, not the Constitution.”

Finally, the military has hard stop inventory requirements for true β€œbreak glass in case of emergency” situations.

These are minimum stock levels that we won’t go below unless absolutely necessary, based on projected needs for a major war.

I just hope the admin listens.

Well, we did it because of the protesters

Nukes

I mean they’re building an ICBM

We did it defensively because Iran was going to attack us

I mean Israel was gonna do it anyway so we did it too

They were gonna attack us because Israel was gonna attack them so we attacked them

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as β€œVotors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"

Unless the U.S. installs a government, any new leader who emerges will likely be just as bad as what the Iranian people have been living with.

And it's the height of irony that the American authoritarian --who's having people murdered in the street -- is complaining about human rights in Iran.

I mean, the new - major strike - has at this point ensured US embassies are being targeted. Militia tried to storm it in Bahrain, pro-Iranian protesters tried to storm US embassy in Pakistan and 8 people died.

This is Benjamin Netanyahu's son Yair. While working class American service people are dying in the gratuitous war his father and Donald Trump started, Yair is poolside in Miami chilling.

No word on where Donald Trump's children were, just that they were 100% *not* wearing a uniform.
