Good for him: "For that play to be associated with bombing human beings makes me sick,” Bell told The Washington Post. “I don’t want anything to do with images like that.”
and people die, families are separated, lives are ruined.
yet he pitched the war to Trump on exactly that. Regime change was never going to work. It isn't and we have a full scale diaster on our hands. www.wsj.com/world/middle...
the Pentagon has more than enough money to pay for the war for the foreseeable future thanks to the big, ugly bill that “provided an additional $153 billion for defense just eight months ago, on top of the annual defense budget of around $900 billion.” open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
There is a reason every other president refused Bibi’s invitation to start a regional war. Trump was the only one dumb enough to take the bait.
Do you think someone could explain to Trump this secret weapon to insulate us from energy price shocks and weaken Iran’s grip on our markets? Clean. Energy. It is a national security thing

Phenomenal. KUDOS.
Trump is not the unfortunate victim of job “losses”; he is destroying jobs, especially manufacturing jobs. And in savaging medical and scientific grants and going to war with universities, Trump is further undercutting one of America’s greatest sources of long-term growth and productivity

incredible ineptitude: "Unprepared for Iranian drones, U.S. and partners seek Ukraine’s help"... and NOW they want Ukraine to help
Trump is having a field day manipulating dumb jocks and senseless stakeholders.

Magnificent: The arc of this story is not defined by the barriers imposed but by the progress that outlasts them. Black voters have always been central to that progress and will remain so.
