So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
We have no reason to celebrate. Markwayne Mullin makes Noem look like little orphan annie.

Sorry to pierce your bubble of willful ignorance. Fascist Israel is wagging the dog here. There is NO strategic reason for the US to attack Iran. None. Itโs BIbiโs war. Not ours.

Sadly at this point in our history, the only word that still describes our country
is ASYLUM.
Since it appears important to you, HARRIS! I contributed to her campaign, worked for her campaign, and voted for her! That doesnโt add or take anything away from my criticism for Schumer and Jeffries. They are hypocrites.

But it IS Nazi Netanyahuโs war,
not ours. I live in NY, not Tel Aviv. Let fascist Israel pay for and fight its own illegal wars of aggression against Iran. Tell our bought and bossed congress they work for US, not Nazi Netanyahu and his genocidal cabal of sadistic apartheid-loving monsters.
Yup. But remember that only about 10 members of congress refuse funding from AIPAC & its rightwing surrogates and zionaire funders. Dems are not much better than Rโs. Vote accordingly. Visit trackaipac.com and see if thereโs a progressive, free of AIPAc stench, in the primaries.
