Assuming that the Iranians are a simple people that can be manipulated with force is a mistake that will sew seeds of woe for us in the years to come.

Unfortunately true. 😢

Why would they do that because Trump started an illegal war with Iran? Seems like a bad idea to me.

I hope you are wrong, but I think you are correct.

One does not tell a theocracy who will be in charge. Their world view is antithetical to having an outsider dictate leadship. If Trump does not understand that, he is indeed a moron.

You may be correct. He may indeed be just a figurehead. In the end it does not matter. Whom ever it is, they do not have the necessary skills to foresee the ramafications of their choices and that will only cause this country pain and debit.

I find in mind boggling that few are calling Trump a russian asset. It is obvious to me from what he does that he absolutely is a russian asset.

Solar and wind power generation were the areas that intellegent countries pursed to rid themselves of the blackmail of fossil fuels. Trump receive huge donations from oil men and that was the end of any thought processes on the matter.

This seems obvious to me and most cogent people. We know that Trump does only face value thinking and that the ramafications of these actions against Iran are beyond him. We Americans will be the ones that pay for his lack of insight.

This points out that Epstein's main business was blackmail. He used his assets to get this protection. I believe that those same assets are bing used to keep Congress in line.

Agreed. I was postulating on achieving goals with Iran, but yes, you are correct.

For the sake of the women that were abused, I certainly hope this is the case. If I was one of the female Republicans I'd be careful to not have an "accident".

This will be coming soon to a headline near you.

You are absolutly correct. Trump is stupid. He is not stupid enough to partake in a ground war in Iran. This will ensure that this war will be very expensive and we will gain nothing.

We could have had a much more stable middle east but Trump killed that. Now he attacks Iran again. This will turn out poorly for everyone.

Biden takes selfies with passengers as he takes commercial flight The former president was stuck at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington DC, after an hour-long ground stop delayed departures.

So it it possible for at least a former government official to fly a domestic flight without any issues. Maybe Noem and Patel could do the same and save the tax payers money. www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

No American should get their news from ANY American source. I recommend The Guardian.

As long as Republicans control both the house and Senate, the answer to your question is nothing is being done.

They are the authors of the 2025 plan that is being used as a blue print for a facist takeover of our country.

This has to happen. I doubt it will with Schumer at the head of leadership for the Democrats in the Senate.
