Trump 2.0:

-Bombed Iran (twice), Venezuela, and Yemen
-Allowed Israel to repeatedly violate a ceasefire and kill civilians
-Ripped healthcare and SNAP away from millions
-Deployed masked ICE agents to terrorize American cities

The "Peace President."

So much propaganda on all sides, some of it is so obvious, others couched in palatable tidbits. Imo, I believe Trump is regretting his months-long planned war, Khamenei is now a martyr to Shias, and a new Ayatollah will be voted on by the council, soon enough. Any Trump deal has an expiration date.

Exactly.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Today more than ever, it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regime…and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

Giving distinct 2003 vibes. Pahlavi has been in exile since 1979.

Biggest US foreign policy gamble in 20 years. If you need more than an eight-minute video, can’t help ya.

Sen Chris Murphy (D-CT) to Face the Nation:

“I don't have any obligation to fund a Department of Homeland Security that is violating the law every day, just like I don't have any obligation to support this war that is illegal as well.”

ChatGPT is shedding users fast. Since yesterday alone, estimates suggest more than a million accounts have been deleted and the boycott continues to gain momentum. Incredible work, everyone!

Freedom is never free? Did your pals sharing troop locations on unsecured networks over Signal chat tell you that?

I am also interested in the duplicity of MBS, putting out public statements against US strikes in Iran, while secretly egging Trump to war. I am aware that MBS treads lightly with Saudi Imams, wonder what they think of his leadership? Sunni or Shia, Imams are powerful and have their pulpits.

Trump wasn't against the Iraq invasion. He's on record supporting it at the start. But as it got worse, he started saying he was always opposed.

One might think that's relevant context, but many political reporters thought "he says he opposed the war" was the right way to cover Trump's position.

Trump’s 2016 criticism of the Iraq war was the US didn’t do enough war crimes. He argued that the US should’ve stolen oil and killed insurgents’ innocent family members.

That’s what some prominent media figures presented to the public as isolationist, anti-intervention, anti-war, “Donald the Dove.”

Chris Murphy: "It won't be the billionaire children of Donald Trump and his buddies that die. It's going to be the children of middle class and poor families all across this country that are gonna die for a war of choice, a war of vanity, an illegal war."

So one of Trump’s propagandists tried to peddle the story that Iran was about to strike multiple US bases so we had to attack them preemptively, but the only person in media they could get to push out the lie was Scott Jennings. Then CNN pays him to air it on their network.

Me too.

As I said, my conscious is clear. I voted accordingly for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Kamala Harris in 2024 (respectfully).

This is why the conservative/reactionary centrist takeover of U.S. media is a problem. It's not that these orgs are going to go Full Metal Newsmax–that's too obvious (for now anyway). But how they write headlines and slant stories will be favorable for conservatives. As is hinted at, a left-leaning…

We’re also out ammo, so the war must end soon either way, so it’s Trump saving face once again.

By the Israeli's own admission, recent negotiations were a ruse and there was never interest in a deal. Iran, per Oman, was willing to swear off enriched uranium stockpiling, which is essentially what America wants.

The point of the war is to wage war.

They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge.

They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership.

We do not have serious people running our country.

Gullible Glenn did much more than just that. He is basically incapable of not falling for obvious Trump lies. Remember when he was crowing about Trump cutting the military before Trump called for--as anyone with a brain could predict--a massive increase?

Why will they not have ballistic weapons? Who says? The republican reason for war and its aftermath keeps changing.

Chris Murphy: "This is a disaster. It's illegal."

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

Seems like the emerging policy is: you people out there are responsible for setting up your own governments, but if the US doesn’t like who ends up in charge we’ll just assassinate or kidnap them and then the ball is back in your court.

I know that everyone here hates the “Donald Trump started a war and jacked up your gas prices” messaging but “Donald Trump started a war and jacked up your gas prices” is likely the single thing about this nightmare that will most affect the day to day lives of a lot of people in the US

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

uhhh oh my god

The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment

Chris Murphy: "We need to stand up for the American citizens that ICE is murdering, the kids they're terrorizing. They should stop this illegal war and they should stop ICE from terrorizing our communities. We should demand they do both things."
