Healey has not said one single word about war on Iran & slaughtering children being illegal & monstrous, but sheβs here to perform security theater

I own multiple Danhausen products & thought TKβs idea of having him be adorable but terrible at wrestling & slowly improve was spot on

Hereβs how far our media has shifted right
In 2003, warmonger Dick Cheney said weβd be greeted as liberators in Iraq & we all remember it because it was so stupid at the time & obviously wrong in hindsight
In 2026, thatβs the NYTβs unattributed, βobjectiveβ statement of fact

Imagine if Democrats didnβt just refute the ππ© but embarrassed the media for helping spread it
This is 100% true & they have 0% thought it through
