Exactly. Blindly hooting for the Buffoon-in-Chief as he unlawfully orders airstrikes without a coherent plan isn't a foreign policy, and isn't patriotic; it's just stupid, and dangerous.

CBS News conducts a poll.

It finds that only 18% of Americans advocate removing Iran's leadership "by force," and 74% say Trump needs congressional approval before starting a war.

So their headline is, "CBS News poll on Americans' views on Iran prior to conflict."

A mad king's illegal war on Iran is a cry for regime change...in Washington | Will Bunch Democracy really did die in darkness as Donald Trump's unconstitutional war on Iran stamps America as a dictatorship.

No wonder Trump went to war with Iran in the dead of night, with the Capitol empty, most Americans soundly asleep

This war is illegal. Full stop. The worst abuse of presidential power in American history aims to cement a dictatorship on U.S. soil

Whatever you think about the #IranStrikes, there should be zero disagreement that it’s absolutely insane that the president set up his #USIranConflict command centre in a Florida country club.

This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.

It is well and good for people to leave MAGA, but those people should acknowledge what they built and work as hard or harder at dismantling it.

Being a slow learner is not a sin, but the work of repair is necessary.
