What a thin skinned tiny little baby and an absolutely unqualified disgraceful ass canoe.
Trump will be forever seen as a low point for America
So Russia is helping Iran target American troops. Ukraine is offering drone defense.
Guess who Trump NEVER ONCE has EVER criticized?
Correct. Russia

The loss of 92,000 jobs in February is the latest sign that job creation has been low under Trump. Trust in him on the economy is abysmal. And as long as Stephen Miller's ethnic cleansing is Trump's immigration agenda, he'll continue tanking on that as well. 5/

Support for the Iran war is at an abysmal 38%, per G. Elliott Morris's average of polls. That's the lowest initial support for a war in memory. Also, CNN finds 59% don't trust Trump to make right decisions with force in Iran. There's no rally-around-flag effect. 4/

Hegseth and Stephen Miller ridiculed "rules of engagement" and vowed this war won't be "politically correct." Now it looks like we may have bombed an elementary school. Hegseth/Miller's certainty that their version of "strength" would have support is imploding. 3/

It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.

I not only voted for Harris, I volunteered countless hours to her campaign. I would absolutely do it again if she were on the ticket in the general.
But, I hope we can all acknowledge that she ran an uninspiring campaignβright after Dem consultants got in. (liz Cheney, etc).
So, I agree with you
Iβm so freakin angry. We all should be so deeply angry. We need a robust and very active anti-war movement

I think it's great that the president put on his most solemnly branded baseball cap to receive the returning coffins of soldiers killed in the unnecessary war he launched to distract from his failing presidency and pedophilia scandal.
Look at that gold-like letting. Classy as shit.
Reporter: Did the US bomb an elementary school and kill 175 people? Trump: Based on what Iβve seen, it was done by Iran. Reporter: Is that true Mr. Hegseth? Hegseth: Weβre investigating. Trump: It was done by Iran. They are very inaccurate with their munitions.
